Britney Spears is not dating Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, her publicist has said.

Tabloid reports yesterday (December 19th) claimed the pair had dined together recently in Los Angeles.

But Spears’ publicist said the claims made by Touch magazine were “completely false”.

“There is not an ounce of truth to any of it," Holly Shakoor added.

Spears is currently promoting her new studio album ‘Circus’, which was knocked off the top of the US charts earlier this week.
