BRITNEY SPEARS - SPEARS AND COHEN STILL GOING STRONG

LATEST: Model ISAAC COHEN is still dating pop star BRITNEY SPEARS, despite comments she made to the paparazzi on Thursday (18JAN07) suggesting the pair were "not together." The couple has been dating for several weeks and recently spent a lavish weekend in Las Vegas together. Cohen insists the couple are still going strong, telling American publication Star on Friday (19JAN07) that "everything is fine" between them adding, "I talked with her earlier today." Last Thursday, Spears was spotted at a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf cafe in Santa Monica, California where she was followed by a pack of paparazzi. As she headed back to her car, Spears told the photographers gathered, "Me and Isaac are not together, by the way." When photographers asked her if the relationship was really over, she replied, "Yes." The couple, both 25, were spotted together later Friday night when they visited a recording studio and hours later arrived - separately - at Hollywood hot spot Cabana Club. A source adds, "They were definitely together all night. At 3 am Isaac walked Britney out to her car and said goodbye and she drove off."
