Britney Spears Demands Retraction From New York Post

The New York Daily News reports Britney Spears’ lawyer Martin Singer said they will sue The New York Post unless it prints a retraction after it splashed a photo of her guzzling what they said was whisky on its front page on Thursday. “Ms. Spears intends to file a lawsuit against the New York Post and Bill Hoffmann, the writer of the article, unless the paper immediately issues an appropriate retraction, apology and financial settlement,” Singer said. Arif Alam, the clerk at Joe’s Liquor in Venice, Calif., who rang up Spears’ purchases on Monday afternoon, told the Daily News: “She did not buy any alcohol at all – no alcohol!” He insisted all Spears bought was a 10-milliliter bottle of Panax Red Ginseng Extractum for $1 and a can of Red Bull energy drink.
