FUNK DENIES 'LESBIAN ROMPS' WITH SPEARS

BRITNEY SPEARS' one-time assistant SHANNON FUNK has denied press reports she had a lesbian affair with her former employer.

The American edition of OK! magazine this week (ends17Aug07) published photos of Spears, 25; and Funk, 21; seemingly naked together in a swimming pool, with Funk cuddling and kissing the pop star on the cheek.

Funk was fired by Spears last month (Jul07) after only a month's employment. She was assisting Spears during her disastrous photo shoot and interview with OK!, which resulted in the singer storming off with over $15,000 (GBP7,500)-worth of designer clothes and jewellery.

Despite the suggestive photos, Funk insists she and Spears had a platonic working relationship and were only messing around for the cameras.

She says, "Britney needs constant reassurance of someone's affection and is very touchy-feely, even if she likes someone. Brit loves the attention that comes from flirting."
