Britney Denies Kevin Slur

Britney Spears has rubbished a magazine story that reported husband Kevin Federline had been badmouthing her.

In Touch Weekly ran a report in which Kev was quoted as saying: "I love her. But ask me now about life apart from Britney, and all I can say is, 'Can it be any worse than living with her?' I am doing what she wanted, getting out of the house and trying to find work, but I do that and she trashes my efforts. She just wants me at her beck and call as a little house husband."

He adds: "Marriage is something you don't go into lightly. She has to learn she can't just pick me up and dump me off, like her first husband."

But Britney's spokeswoman Leslie Sloane has hit back at the report, saying: "The story is untrue and hurtful and he didn't give them an interview. He and Britney are as normal as other couples, they fight and they make up they are fine and happy."

The tabloids have been riddled with speculation about the future of their marriage since it was reported Britney cancelled her hubby's credit cards and sent his Ferrari back to the dealership.
