Oct. 8 — Britney Spears has shilled for everything from Pepsi to sneakers, but there’s one product she’s not ready to tout: diet pills. The singer made headlines recently when she dropped a bottle of pills at an airport that one tabloid identified as Zantrex-3, a popular over-the-counter “fat burner.” THE PILL MAKERS wasted little time in putting the high-profile singer in its ads and touting the reports that Spears uses the weight-loss product. “Revealed: Britney’s Slimming Secrets” reads one ad that shows the pics of the singer supposedly with the pills.
Spears is furious, says a source, and her legal team is working overtime to get her out of the ads. “It’s the last thing she needs,” says a source. “Her people are threatening to sue the company if they don’t cease and desist.”
A spokeswoman for Spears told The Scoop that the ad is “completely unauthorized” and confirmed that “appropriate measures are being taken to stop it.”
I knew she wasn't born with it.
OK, so who's working on this case? Str8?
