Celebrity tattles poo-poo reports that Britney Spears is banging the brakes off her muscle-bound bouncer/manny, Daimon Shippen.

“He’s her bodyguard and manny,” says a tattle. “They’re not dating.”

A media mole pegs D-Money as “funny, but on the quiet side.” He is “tickled” by the attention from the media. “But he really wants to focus on his job: taking care of the kids and of her,” the snitch gushes.

“She doesn’t have a nanny,” another source claims. “When the kids are with her she takes care of them and she is a very hands-on mom. Daimon also sometimes helps her with the kids. She really would like to have them for more time than she does but she is willing to live with the agreement with Kevin (Federline) that she has now.”
