EXCLUSIVE: BRIT'S NEW GUY WON'T DENY HE'S HER BOYFRIEND!
The man caught canoodling with Britney Spears over the weekend has spoken exclusively to Star about his seeming romance with the pop princess, and refuses to deny they are a couple!
Star spoke with producer Jonathan "J.R." Rotem at his Los Angeles apartment on Dec. 12. When Star offered him the chance to deny their relationship, he refused, only offering a "no comment"!
Pick up this week's issue of Star to see photos of Brit and J.R. kissing and read all about their romance!
DAD'S STILL IN THE DARK!
As reported in the new issue of Star, Britney Spears' working relationship with top hip-hop producer Jonathan "J.R." Rotem, 31 — who's been working with Brit on her upcoming new album — appears to have turned into something a little more personal!
The duo were photographed kissing and getting cozy during a night out together in L.A. on Dec. 11. Is this the start of something serious between Britney and Jonathan? (He also co-wrote three songs on the new album by Spears' estranged husband Kevin Federline!) To find out, Star spoke exclusively with J.R.'s father, Doron Rotem — but it seems daddy's been kept in the dark about his son's famous new love interest.
"I actually saw those pictures too, but Jonathan didn't tell me anything about that," Doron, 58, a Berkeley, Calif.-based computer science researcher tells Star. "Jonathan's worked with Britney, but that's all I know — that's all he's told me."
Has J.R. ever introduced Britney to his family? "I haven't met her," says Doron. "Honestly, he's so busy so we barely get to see him. If there is something going on, I don't think it's serious. You know, they're just pictures. Photographers catch a moment and the headlines start to go wild!"
