One revelation from "The Woman in Me" has already made headlines: with Spears saying she felt pressured into having an abortion while dating fellow popstar Justin Timberlake between 1999 and 2002.

Justin Timberlake is backing out of some scheduled gigs in the wake of the explosive claims made about him in ex-girlfriend Britney Spears’ memoir, which hit shelves last week.

The SexyBack singer, 42, will no longer appear at some clubs early next year, as previously scheduled, sources told TMZ.
