Britney Spears BritneySpearsShannon.jpgBritney's former - and briefest - assistant, Shannon Funk, was recently served by K-Fed's camp to testify in the Sean Preston/Jayden James custody battle, and now it's being claimed that Shannon had a romantic tryst with the pop singer... although Funk vehemently denies it. "Britney needs constant reassurance of someone's affection and is very touchy-feely, even if she likes someone," says the former assistant. Yeah, no surprise these rumors are untrue!
