Britney's people have basically called out The Wanted for being crap misogynists

  • May 2, 2012

'Team Britney' has rebuffed reports that the singer's minders made The Wanted face the wall as she passed.

Denying what we thought was a perfectly reas­on­able request, Spears' spokes­folks said: "What's even more inter­est­ing than the false alleg­a­tions they made is the fact that they have claimed to be picked on by two female pop stars in just a few days."

Anti-women? The Wanted? But they love the 'birds'!!!

Camp Britney seem to be taking the 'banter' in good humour, adding: "Look out Lady Gaga — there are still three days left this week."

This all depends on whether you think of weeks beginning on Saturdays or Mondays. Perhaps for the avoidance of doubt they should have stated that there are three days left in the working week, but their point still stands.

Elsewhere, the lad­banter­train seems to be derailing for Baby Wanted Nathan, who tweeted last night: "Think some people forget I'm human and actually have feelings". Luckily, Jay was on hand to tweet him back this.

Brilliant.
