Just one day after it was revealed Britney Spears‘ tell-all autobiography was being delayed over concerns about her relationships with two A-list stars… one of those stars may have been revealed.
A new report from The Sun claims the book – which the 41-year-old Spears signed a $15 million deal for in February 2022 with Simon & Schuster – will delve into the singer’s brief fling with Oscar-nominated actor Colin Farrell in 2003.
Sources claim that the book will reveal that Farrell upset Spears after their fling, when he reportedly sent her a bumper sticker that read, ‘Honk If You’ve Slept With Colin Farrell.’
Farrell – who was one of Hollywood’s brightest rising stars in the early 2000s and had a notorious ‘bad boy’ reputation at the time as well – reportedly tried to make peace with Spears, admitting he was ‘wild’ during the early Aughts, though it’s unclear if he ever admitted to sending the rumored bumper sticker.
‘Britney has worked her way through the extraordinarily emotional challenges and troubles of her life in the 2000s for the book,’ the source said.
DailyMail.com has reached out to reps for both Spears and Farrell though they have not responded at this time.

‘Those were especially tough recollections and challenging days to cover those experiences. But during those heady days, Britney also had many other adventures as a single woman, including that experience with Colin,’ the source added.
‘And she is keen to get her time with Colin laid down on paper and presented from her perspective. She has been wanting to set the record straight for a long time,’ the source contended.
The source added that Farrell, ‘was the hottest young actor in Hollywood, and she was swept away by the romance of him taking a shine to her.’
‘People forget that then she was not that experienced with boys or the dating game, so when they had their fling, she was taken aback by how nonchalant and disconnected he was,’ the source said.
The unnamed source added that Spears was, ‘shocked’ that Farrell treated, ‘it all like a joke,’ adding, ‘when the car sticker came through, she was deeply annoyed and also angered. She hated the fact that some people were laughing at her.’
The source added that, ‘Colin did try and make peace later, trying to explain his over-the-top behavior was down to his own life issues and battles with drugs and temptation. But Britney will get the final word.’
Farrell has since come clean with his substance abuse problems during that time in more recent years, confessing to Ireland’s Late Show, ‘I had high tolerance for various drugs for years.’
There is no indication that Farrell is one of the reported two ‘A-list’ stars who reached out to publisher Simon & Schuster about the book.

The source added that Spears plans on opening up about other celebs she dated such as Justin Timberlake, Fred Durst, Jared Leto and Wade Robson.
‘Justin will be included in the book. It will be the first time fans will have her speak in full about the devastation of that split,’ the source said, adding the publisher’s legal team is also concerned about her hook-ups with women, following her famous kiss with Madonna at the 2003 Video Music Awards.
‘But the talk is also how Britney will address rumors of her hooking up with women. How much she will tell is down to the legal team,’ the source said.
Recently, The U.S. Sun revealed how Spears’ hopes of telling the full truth about her rollercoaster life in her memoir will be decided by lawyers – not the singer.
The book is expected to be released by the end of this year, though one of the publisher’s other concerns involves the singer’s father Jamie, who Britney has accused of abuse and maltreatment during him running her conservatorship.
