Illusionist Criss Angel has denied rumours that he is dating pop singer Britney Spears, saying that their relationship is purely professional.
Speaking to People magazine, Angel said that he is helping Spears to prepare for a possible MTV Video Music Awards performance.
The illusionist said: "It's amazing what people think. We're not together. Her manager is my manager, and I'm helping with one of her shows. I'm helping with her appearance on MTV."
"We were talking about how she wants to do something more with the (awards) show, and about me helping out and hoping to work with her on doing something to make her MTV appearance more innovative."
"It's amazing how you can't do anything now without people making up stuff," said Angel.
