Will they, won’t they? That’s the question on all of our lips this morning as news hot off the rusty Bank Holiday presses suggest that an event first reported by wide-eyed fans more than a year ago is about to come true: yes, Britney Spears and former beau Justin Timberlake may finally be coming together in a studio sometime soon and singing on the same song!
