Britney Spears denied a bodyguard's accusations that she sexually harassed him and abused her children, saying Thursday in a statement on her website that authorities looked into his claims but found no reason to act.

The statement said the pop singer and her attorney expect Fernando Flores' sexual harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit to be dismissed.

"This lawsuit is another unfortunate situation where someone is trying to take advantage of the Spears family and make a name for himself," the statement read. "The Department of Children and Family Services conducted a proper investigation surrounding Mr. Flores' accusations and have closed the case without further action."

Ms. Spears did not say when the investigation was conducted and the department doesn't release details of its inquiries.

Mr. Flores claimed in his lawsuit that Ms. Spears repeatedly exposed herself to him and made other unwanted sexual advances. He also claimed she used his belt to discipline her young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and acted inappropriately in front of them.

The bodyguard's employment with Ms. Spears appeared to be brief - his court filings state he started working for her in February, and by June he was no longer on her security detail.

Mr. Flores also sued his former employer, Advanced Security Concepts Corp. A woman who answered the company's phone Wednesday declined to comment and refused to be identified.

Mr. Flores is seeking unspecified damages.

Spears' ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has also denied through his attorney that any abuse occurred and called Mr. Flores' accusations "baseless."

The first hearing in Mr. Flores' case is scheduled for Jan. 25.

Call her the Fresh Princess.

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's 9-year-old daughter, Willow Smith, is making her debut as a recording artist.

She has signed a deal with Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation.

Her first song was released this week. It's called "Whip My Hair."

Jay-Z says it's rare to find an artist with such talent and creativity at Willow's age.

Will Smith first gained fame as a rapper, but unlike her father, Willow is singing on her record.

Like her father, she's a double threat: Willow appeared in the movie "I Am Legend" with her dad.

A woman has lodged a complaint alleging Motley Crue singer Vince Neil grabbed her arms in an elevator at the Las Vegas Hilton, police said Thursday.

Mr. Neil, 49, wasn't arrested after police took statements Sunday from the woman and two other people regarding the misdemeanor battery complaint, Las Vegas police Officer Barbara Morgan said.

The investigation remained open.

Neil's lawyer David Chesnoff was unavailable for immediate comment.

There was no indication Mr. Neil knew the woman, and she didn't report being physically injured, Morgan said.

Mr. Neil owns tattoo shops and bars in Las Vegas, including a cantina at the Hilton.

Mr. Neil is due in court Sept. 27 on separate misdemeanor drunken driving and speeding charges. He has not yet entered a plea.

He is accused of driving his Lamborghini sports car 60 mph in a 45-mph zone before being stopped June 27 near the Las Vegas Strip.

A court document alleges he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent, the state's legal limit for drivers.
