Luke Walton is not slaying Britney Spears

April 12th, 2007 | Posted by PostmanR

Thank you, Luke, for finally setting the record straight.

“The rumors aren’t true,” Walton said. “I’m sure Britney is a great person. I don’t even know her. I have a girlfriend right now. I’m in a relationship. I’m very happy with my relationship. I don’t know where it’s all started, but none of it is true.”

Walton is dating Bre Ladd, a former volleyball player at the University of Arizona, who happened to be sitting five seats down from Spears at one of the games she attended.

That wasn’t mentioned when “Entertainment Tonight” ran with the story earlier this week. Walton said his girlfriend was amused at first but has grown irritated. For his part, Walton’s been hearing from friends who haven’t called in years.

“If I was living in Milwaukee, this wouldn’t have happened,” Walton said. “It’s definitely an L.A. thing.”

Wait a second here. Luke is trying to tell us that there are rumors floating around about celebrity hook-ups in L.A. that are made up? Man, I thought that stuff was 100 percent true. This is an earth-shattering revelation for me. I’m crushed.

Anyways though, who is this Bre Ladd individual Luke speaks of? Observe:

Yes, OK, the picture is quite clear on this situation now.

Sidenote: I use that picture of Britney Spears because I feel the potential is still there, people.
