Not only were Taylor Swift and “Glee” star Cory Monteith hanging out together at Clive Davis‘ annual pre-Grammy party on January 30 — and sharing dinner a few nights earlier at Jerry’s Deli in L.A. — but a source in the know confirms to Gossip Cop that the two young stars “have been on a few dates.” 

Gossip Cop would like to warn, however, that it’s a tad early to start buying gifts from a registry. 

Shortly after Swift’s Grammy wins, including “Album of the Year,” she flew off to Australia, where she’ll be performing Thursday night at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.

“Kanye West will have the chance to let Taylor Swift finish on Monday,” claims AccessHollywood.com in a piece titled, “Taylor Swift & Kanye West To Team Up For ‘We Are The World’ Remake.”

The report, which got picked up everywhere, goes on to state, “A source has exclusively confirmed to Access Hollywood that the two musicians – who faced off in an infamous incident at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards — will be among those participating in Quincy Jones’ remake of the 1985 charity anthem, ‘We Are The World,’ at a recording session the day after the Grammys.”

One big problem: A Swift insider assures Gossip Cop that the Grammy-nominated singer will NOT be at the recording session.

In fact, Swift will be leaving Los Angeles immediately after the awards show, and traveling to Australia, where she will be performing a few days later in Brisbane.

The Star, which just two and a half weeks ago claimed that Britney Spears and boyfriend Jason Trawick were concerned about each other’s faithfulness, is now reporting that they’re having a baby together.

“Britney’s pregnant,” screams a headline in the tab. 

According to Star, with only one concert to go in Australia, on November 27 Spears threw a party in Melbourne for her dancers and crew, but in her VIP section there was no booze, which the mag noted “was strange for someone celebrating the end of a grueling nine-month, 97-concert schedule.” 

Or…

Maybe that’s how a sober Spears made it through that “grueling” schedule — plus, she still had another concert to perform.

Nevertheless, that’s the starting point for the Star‘s piece on her being allegedly pregnant.

The article then quotes an unnamed source as saying, “Britney took a home pregnancy test… She’s been feeling queasy on and off.” Sort of how Gossip Cop feels when reading the Star.

After a second test came back positive, reports the Star, her family wasn’t happy nor was “fiance Jason Trawick,” who was shocked “because Britney has been very strict about using contraception.” 

Must we again? Trawick and Spears are NOT engaged.

Towards the end of the story, a so-called insider says, “Brit wants a baby, but after seeing everyone’s reaction she’s wondering if it would be better if the results were just wrong.”

Speaking of “just wrong”… Once again, the Star is wrong.

A source close to the singer tells Gossip Cop, “it’s not true.”

Of course, should Spears become pregnant down the road, the Star will claim to be “the first” to report it — even if they were a year or two early.

“Britney Spears sends lover Jason Trawick home after rejected marriage proposal,” reads the headline in Australia’s Herald Sun.

According to the paper, Spears “was mortified when Trawick, her one-time manager, declined her offer of marriage in Sydney 10 days ago.” A so-called “Spears source” is quoted as saying, “Britney simply assumed he’d say yes and she couldn’t believe it when he said no… She was furious and embarrassed… So she told him to get on the next plane home and he was gone.”

Very dramatic. Very not true.

As a true Spears insider told Gossip Cop a little less than a week ago, though the couple is happy, “there was no proposal.”

“Thanksgiving in Courteney Cox’s house is certain to go off with a bang this year,” reports the Aussie mag NW.

According to the Down Under weekly, Cox is hosting Thanksgiving “and guess who’s on her guest list?”

Give up?

“Her BFF Jenifer Aniston and Jen’s ex-husband Brad Pitt!” exclaims the tab.

But will he show?

NW has a so-called source who says, “Brad said they’d stop by if they were in town.”

“They’d?” “They?”

You mean?

That’s right. Since Cox and Pitt have reportedly remained friends, NW claims she’s “even extended the dinner invitation to Brad’s new partner Angelina Jolie and their six young kids.”

At the end of the article NW longingly says, “We’d give anything to be a fly on that wall.”

And we’re the fly swatter. 

When Gossip Cop contacted a source close to Cox, the insider responded, “LOL… doubt it.”

Actually, does anyone not doubt it?

So far Gossip Cop hasn’t heard of any controversy involving her latest concert in Melbourne, where Britney Spears just finished performing, but before the singing star hit the stage again Down Under a few hours ago, she hit back at critics who tore into her for lip-synching.

Acknowledging the bad publicity she’s received since she arrived in Australia, Spears said, “I hear there is a lot of controversy in the media about my show… Some reporters have said they love it and some don’t.” But she dismissed the press in favor of those who she cares most about. Spears said, “I came to Australia for my fans!”

A few days ago, promoter Paul Dainty told the media that Spears was “extremely upset” by reports that concertgoers had bolted from her first performance in Perth last Friday. And while he said that talk of people walking out was “an absolute fabrication,” Gossip Cop investigated and determined that, while the scope of the exodus was exaggerated by the media, there were certainly some who left. Still, the vast, vast majority majority of those who attended her concert on Friday were pleased with her performance.

The media “Circus” over Spear’s lip-synching began even before the pop singer landed in Australia when an Australian minister, Virginia Judge – referencing Spears’ professional beginnings – told a local paper that people would not tolerate a “Mickey Mouse performance.” Judge added, “Let’s be clear — live means live,” and “If you are spending up to 200 dollars [$182 U.S.] I think you deserve better than a film clip.” The minister further suggested that tickets should include a disclaimer noting that parts of the concert are pre-recorded.

The Australian leg of the Britney Spears Circus tour literally just began in Perth, and already there’s major controversy Down Under, where she’s on stage right now. 

After reports emerged that Spears lip synchs portions of her performance, an Aussie official suggested that tickets should include a disclaimer noting that parts of the concert are pre-recorded.

The Australian minister, Virginia Judge, who referenced Spears’ professional beginnings, told a newspaper that people would not tolerate a “Mickey Mouse performance.” She said, “Let’s be clear — live means live,” and added, “If you are spending up to 200 dollars [$182 U.S.] I think you deserve better than a film clip.”

With some of Spears’ tickets going for as much as $1,400 U.S., government officials there are now mulling whether performers need to disclose on tickets and posters if parts of their concerts are pre-recorded.

The glow Australians see around Britney Spears as she tours their country for the first time this month might be because she probably spends a lot of time laughing at the latest nonsense the tabloids churn.

Now from the people who fabricated plans for a lavish Spears wedding down under comes word that the pop icon will use this portion of her tour to conceive.

You read correctly.

“Britney is so psyched about coming to Australia,” a so-called “close source” tells NW magazine.

Psyched to give some great performances, right? No, that’s not all according to NW.

“The ideal scenario would be for her to get pregnant while they’re on this trip.”

What?

Yes, it seems that since Spears chose not to marry in Oz, the mag has decided she’ll do the next best thing.

Friend Taylor Clyne says Britney’s “made huge strides in the last year,” and boyfriend Jason Trawick “has been a big part of that… She knows he’ll make an amazing father and she wants to get started on building a family with him.”

Immediately? As in, before she even leaves Australia? Um, how exactly would a “source” know this “baby bombshell” in the first place?

Well, the “source” doesn’t. There is no baby agenda. Just like there were no wedding plans last month. Just like there were no wedding plans four months ago when NW put a Britney “engagement” on the same cover that infamously claimed Kristen Stewart was pregnant.

A source close to Spears tells Gossip Cop that she plans on performing in Australia, not procreating.
