Producers of NBC’s The TODAY Show have pulled out of discussions to broadcast a tell-all interview and electrofying performance with Britney Spears, because the network refuses to ahere to all of the pop star’s “ridiculous” demands.

“Britney’s people didn’t want her interviewed,” an informant tells the NY Daily News. “They also said there could be no close-up shots during the performance. Plus, Britney wanted to lip-sync. As a news program, you just don’t agree to that.”
