Millionaire denies Spears dance claim

A Dubai millionaire has denied reports that he offered Britney Spears £2 million to perform a dance routine.

It was claimed that Hollywood.tv founder Sheeraz Hasan wanted the singer to give a rendition of her famous 'I'm A Slave 4 You' snake dance for a group of Arab sheikhs.

However, he insisted that his plans to take Spears on a business trip to the Middle East did not include such a routine, saying: "I spoke to Britney over the phone and discussed taking her to Dubai. She has a movie script, a TV project, a hotel and nightclub venture and she was seeking funding.

"I had a group of people who would help her finance these projects. She was very excited. We were about to take her to Dubai a week before she went into hospital in February."

He added: "She is not going to Dubai to dance erotically for $4 million. It's completely false."

Hasan also said he was considering suing the Daily Star over the story, which referred to Muslims as 'hairy old men' with 'golden teeth and burnt toes'.
