They say she's gone to rehab; Hello says no, no, no

We guess depending on if you believe either that Britney was pissed or tired on New Year's Eve will determine if you choose to see her time in a "spa" in Arizona as rehab or a New Year's treat.

Her management are as quick to stress that it's not rehab as they were to stress that she was only napping and not three sheets to the wind. And that Jive aren't listening to the work she's done so far on her post-Fed album and are trying to decide if they should throw more good money after it, or just present it to the IRS as a write-off:

I don't know where your information came from, but I can only tell you we're in the middle of recording an album."

Actually, that doesn't quite deny the story, does it? Effectively, it merely confirms that there is half an album for Jive to fret over.
