American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is in hot water with the Britney Spears camp for sparking a rumor that the pop superstar is pregnant with her third child.

Ry made the announcement on his On-Air with Ryan Seacrest morning radio show in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

While the media personality insists the pregnancy report came from “reliable source,” the Spears’ camp has squashed the rumor as bologna.

“She’s absolutely not pregnant. I have no idea where this ridiculous rumour came from. Ryan has communication with our camp and could have checked this before saying it,” Britney’s manager, Adam Leber, said in a statement to Perez Hilton late Wednesday.
