Is Britney Spears Having Trouble Selling Tickets to Her Vegas Shows?

By the way, another "source" tells the "New York Daily News" that Britney is probably going to lip-sync her way through all the shows . . . and adds, quote, "Britney does not sing."
But Britney's rep has said there's, quote, "zero truth" to this.
