Most people put on a brave face when they are dealing with a whole lot of drama.
But Britney Spears seems to prefer a more comedic form of expression when times get tough.
The singer was spotted out and about with her boyfriend, Jason Trawick, in Beverly Hills yesterday as reports of him physically abusing her were published in U.S. tabloid, Star Magazine.
Britney, who turns 29-years-old today, looked cute in a green felt fedora hat and a long paisley scarf.
She revealed on Twitter that she is going away for a romantic birthday break.
'Ok, off on a romantic weekend with Jason for my birthday. xoxo Brit,' she wrote.
Star Magazine's report was based on an interview with Britney's childhood friend, Jason Alexander, who she married briefly for 55 hours back in 2004.
Owen also claimed that the tape had been 'stepped on at least three times.' With noise reduction, equalization and removal of voice qualities such as natural timbre, sibilance and tonal qualities, and therefore it's impossible to determine whether it is actually Britney's voice is on the tape.'
Owen also said that Britney has a 'very vanilla voice' and that therefore with manipulation it wouldn't be that difficult to make someone sound like her.
Britney took to her Twitter account today to deny the reports.
'Star Magazine, Radar Online, Jason Alexander and the rest of you liars, Ya'll can kiss my lily white southern Louisiana ass!' she wrote.
And her reps immediately hit back at both the magazine and the website, promising legal action and totally denying the validity of the reports and the tapes.
'The audio recording posted on Radaronline this morning purporting to be between Britney Spears and Jason Alexander is so obviously fake as to be laughable,' her rep said in a statement.
The spokesman continued by saying: 'every aspect of the story published by Star Magazine is completely and utterly false and Star Magazine was informed of the falsity of this story before it was published.
'The statements attributed to Jason Alexander are a complete fabrication as Britney has not had any form of communication with Mr. Alexander in years.'
And they denied the allegations of abuse.
'Suffice it to say, that Jason Trawick has never laid a hand on Britney.'

But Britney Spears seems to prefer a more comedic form of expression when times get tough.
The singer was spotted out and about with her boyfriend, Jason Trawick, in Beverly Hills yesterday as reports of him physically abusing her were published in U.S. tabloid, Star Magazine.
Oooh... Aaah! Britney Spears was in full funny face mode as she left an office building in Beverly Hills with her boyfriend Jason Trawick at the wheel
Riding the storm: If Britney or Jason are bothered by Star magazine's report that he has been physically abusing the singer, then they weren't showing it
And if Britney, or Jason are bothered by the latest allegations, both are doing a good job at hiding it.
The couple visited an office building yesterday afternoon and as they drove away they put on quite a show for the cameras.
The singer had arrived at the building separately to her boyfriend, being driven in her white Mercedes jeep by her bodyguard.
On her way there Britney looked pensive and depressed, nibbling on her nails as she stared out the window.

Unfounded: The report was based on an interview with Spears' childhood friend, and husband (of 55 hours) Jason Alexander
But when she left the building with Trawick it was a whole different Britney in the passenger seat.
She pulled a variety of her best funny faces, opening her mouth and eyes wide in one pose.
Jason mainly laughed along as Britney clowned around, but at one point it appeared that he had had enough of her foolishness, as he leant over and placed his hand firmly over her mouth.

Strong denial: Team Britney have fired back at Star magazine, and it's sister website RadarOnline, claiming the report is 'completely and utterly false'

Star Magazine's report was based on an interview with Britney's childhood friend, Jason Alexander, who she married briefly for 55 hours back in 2004.
The report alleged that Britney had accused Trawick, her boyfriend and former manager, of hitting her, telling Alexander 'he beat on me'.
Enough is enough: At one point Trawick seemed to have had enough with Britney's face pulling, as he leaned over and placed his hand across her mouth
The magazine claimed to have recorded evidence of telephone conversations between Britney and Alexander where she talked about the supposed abuse.
Alexander told the magazine: 'Britney doesn't know what to do or whom to confide in,' adding: 'I'm really concerned for her.'
Star's sister website, RadarOnline posted what was purported to be the recorded tapes but there's been serious questions raised about the tapes authenticity.
TMZ spoke to audio expert Tom Owen who told the website that in his opinion the tape was 'doctored' to such a severe extent, that there's no way to conduct a meaningful voice-recognition test.
