Salon (among others) is carrying an AP story about a statement Britney Spears made at a recent press conference, denying that she is in “an intense relationship” with anyone. This is apparently fanning the flames of repressed lust in the hearts of many, including lies.com reader Anthony Grant, who writes, “Last night while Britney was relaxing in London, The Daily Mirror caught Britney in sex scandal with local boy Anthony Grant, 16.” You wish, Anthony.

As reported in Independent News, Peter Buck, guitarist for REM, recently denied in a London courtroom that he was lying when he said he’d taken a sleeping pill at the beginning of a transatlantic flight last April. Buck is accused of drinking too much wine and going on a drunken rampage on the British Airways flight; apparently he failed to mention the sleeping pill when he was originally arrested and questioned by police.
