Britney Spears will not perform as part of the "True Colors" concert this weekend in Los Angeles, as announced earlier in the week. The 'Toxic' star was slated to perform at a benefit for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender organizations, alongside a star-studded lineup that includes Cyndi Lauper, Erasure and Debbie Harry.

Earlier this week, Britney's choreographer Misha Gabriel revealed that she would be joining the tour. Fans, including Rosie O'Donnell, who is set to present the show, reacted with enthusiasm.

"Brit, honey, you and me - we're gonna share, like, a backstage moment, 'cause I love you, kid," Rosie wrote in her blog.

However, the pop diva reportedly opted out because of being criticized for lip-synching during her recent comeback performances.

"Britney said she would only dance or lip-sync, and to be on stage with Cyndi, you have to actually perform," The New York Post quoted a source as saying. "It's not happening now."

A representative for the tour said that Spears was a no-show. "She was invited to appear on the first date in Las Vegas but we never heard from her."
