Britney Spears’ people are threatening to sue over a report that the singer spent an evening watching porn movies with her girlfriends.

Reps for the belly-baring star are livid over an article in the U.K. tab News of the World that claims Spears checked into the trendy Sanderson hotel in London under the alias Jade Moet and rented “Sex Truck” and “Double-D Housewife.” According to the report, Britney and her girlfriends were giggling throughout the flicks.

“It’s not true,” fumed her rep, who said she was consulting Spears’ lawyers about legal action. Reps for News of the World couldn’t be reached for comment, but Spears’ handlers have been working overtime on spin control after fallout from her same-sex smooch with Madonna and her 55-hour marriage.

Taking it off

Star Jones mentioned to her fans at “The View” that she and some friends went to a stripping party, and now a spy has filled The Scoop in on some details.

“They took lessons on pole dancing and they learned how to do a booty shake,” according to a source, who says that the party and lessons were at a place called the Penthouse Executive Club in Manhattan. The insider says that Jones was joined by fifteen friends, including Janice Combs, P. Diddy’s mother, who also took the lessons.  “Star was really quite good. She threw herself into it, but she said she felt she needed to work on her ankle action to perfect her swiveling movement. She said the whole experience was like a slumber party and was an amazing bonding experience.”

Star Jones’ rep had no comment at presstime.

Feuding divas Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey ran into each other at a party given at the home of their manager, Benny Medina. But bad news for catfight fans: our source says the claws didn’t come out. “J.Lo seemed subdued,” says the source. “She and Ben had just split.”  . .  . Michael Jackson’s father, Joseph, is opening a restaurant in West Hollywood, called Katherine’s, after the matriarch of the family.  . . . Entrepreneurial types are hawking nipple jewelry on eBay, advertising that it’s just like what Janet Jackson wore when her breast was exposed during the half time show. “Janet made it famous!” crowed one merchant. “Now you can wear one, too!”
