Britney and Hilton are not lovers

The recent rounds of gossip suggest that Britney and Paris are more than just good friends, but the latter denied the same.

Socialite heiress Paris Hilton tells her fans that she and pop singer Britney Spears are not lovers.

The two have been partying regularly together and have stirred speculations, reports newsweek.com.

The rumours grew when Spears ex-husband Jason Alexander, who was married to her for just 55 hours, once said: "She found other girls attractive, yes, but we never did anything about it."

In one recent photograph Hilton looked like she was stroking Spears' upper thigh. Another report said Hilton was kissing another woman and suggested that she and Spears are more than just good friends.

But Hilton's representative rebuffs these reports and said: "That is just silly. They are friends and you will continue to see them together. Paris thinks the world of her."
