Britney Spears' spokesman insists she "is not pregnant"

Britney Spears' rep has denied reports the singer is pregnant.

Rumors that the 'Toxic' star was expecting her third child were fueled earlier this week after Britney's stomach swelled and she spent two hours in a health clinic.

But her rep says, "I want to make completely clear that Britney is not pregnant. There’s not going to be a statement – she’s just not."

A pal also explained the appearance of what looks to be a baby bump.

The friend said, "It’s a mix of water retention, unflattering clothes and people liking to analyze everything she does.

"Britney’s getting herself together slowly but surely and isn’t going to mess that up.

"She’s far too busy to even be thinking about a baby right now."
