Britney will sue anyone who says she went BRITISH for an evening

After almost two decades in the business, Britney Spears has been targeted from every angle by the media.

And while she defended herself against suggestions that she sexualised school uniforms and tirelessly fought against paparazzi invasion – with the help of a golf umbrella – it sounds like there's one thing Britney won't stand for.

And that's the suggestion she would ever employ a British accent during her comeback round.

According to TMZ, Britney's attorney has made contact with In Touch and advised them against publishing a story which suggests Britney was behaving erratically at the Video Music Awards in August.

Dismissing the claim that Brit was 'talking and laughing to herself and using a British accent', Brit's legal team has pledged to sue the magazine if they run the story.

With Britney doing her utmost to reestablish herself as a pop icon, the star's team have slammed the claim as "utterly false, highly defamatory and completely offensive to Ms. Spears."

But… but.. what's wrong with a British accent?!
