Friends say Spears pregnancy rumors are false

Hello, I'm Rebecca Field with a UPI entertainment update on this Thursday, November 29, 2007.

Several sources are rejecting rumors that Britney Spears is pregnant...again. A close friend of the pop star tells In Touch magazine those reports are false. Tabloids have said that Spears is expecting a baby with music producer J.R. Rotem. But he denies it, saying the rumors are completely made up.

Just one day after winning "Dancing With the Stars" Helio Castroneves has revealed his engagement is over. The professional racecar driver tells "Inside Edition" he and his fiancée Aliette Vazquez are calling off the upcoming wedding. Castroneves says luckily, the ABC dancing competition kept him busy and helped him deal with the break up. He added that his ex is a great person and he's sure they'll remain friends.

Some of the biggest female stars are working to help register more women to vote. Actress Susan Sarandon and Kerry Washington were just a couple of the celebrities that attended last night's WE Vote '08 event in New York. The campaign is looking to register more than 1 million women to vote in next year's election. Former congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro was also there to support the cause as well as actress Ally Sheedy.

Fans are getting into the holiday spirit with Josh Groban's new album. His recent release "Noel" is number one on the Billboard 200 this week. It's reportedly the first time a holiday album has topped the list since Kenny G in 1994. Last week's frontrunner, Alicia Keys' "As I am" fell to number two. And in third is the mix CD "Now 26."

The popular iPhone is landing in the hands of many French consumers. Apple released the mobile device in France yesterday. Customers lined up in several Orange stores around the country yesterday. Orange is the only mobile service provider in France. Paris' most famous avenue, the Champs-Elysees, was also packed with people trying to get their hands on one. The iPhone includes an ipod, internet access and a phone. Apple has reportedly sold more than 1.4 million of them already and plans to sell nearly 10 times that amount in 2008.

Great Jamie Lynn news: On the AOL homepage today, it states that the father of the baby isn't Jamie Lynn's 19-year-old boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, but an old man who is the producer of her "Zoey 101" television show. The father of her baby is NOT going to cancel the show. Yay!
