Rumour: Justin told Britney to dump Kevin?    ·    November 21st, 2005

Britney Spears’ former boyfriend Justin Timberlake has reportedly slammed the pop tart with some blunt advice about her marriage to Kevin Federline. The simple statement according to a tabloid report - dump him.

Justin called Britney in early November and told her he’d seen Kevin out in LA and in Las Vegas with several girls, reports ‘Life & Style.’

“Britney knows Justin wouldn’t lie to her, especially about something as important as this,” an insider allegedly told the magazine.

So - will she do it?

Who knows? They ’squabbling couple’ are reportedly on a week-long shopping spree to New York, staying at the ultra-plush Mandarin Oriental hotel, according to the UK Mirror’s 3am girls.

The pop princess, 23, and her dancer hubby, 27, have been ‘rowing’ since the birth of their boy Sean Preston seven weeks ago, the girls dish.

All three made the trip to the Big Apple in a private jet.

A 3am “mole” tells the gals: “It’s a chance for the pair to iron out their problems in private.”

But if that doesn’t work, the tabloid says that an insider has declared that Brit is tough, and ready to get on with her life without Kevin.

“Brit’s a fighter - she’s not going to stay in this pain mode for long,” the insider claimed.
