Earlier this month, Desperate Gossip reported that Britney had accepted an invitation to host the Scandinavian Style Mansion Gala on Feb. 16, a fashion fete thrown by her pal, Claus Hjelmbak. Today's hospitalization of Britney changed that..... Hjelmbak has decided to issue an uninvitation.
"Due to recent events, Britney Spears will not be hosting the Scandinavian Style Mansion event on Feb. 16 as recently announced," the Danish fashion executive tells E! News exclusively. "As a friend, my primary concern is for Britney's well-being and giving her the love and support she needs."
While Hjelmbak, a participant in Spears' late-night Kitson shopping run earlier this month, is rescinding his offer for the singer to host the swank fashion gathering, he said Spears was more than welcome to attend the do in a less taxing capacity.
"I still hope she will be well enough to attend the gala event as my personal guest," he says.
The gala is set to feature the crème de la crème of Scandinavian fashion houses.
In Spears' honor, Hjelmbak says he will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the evening's pricey VIP passes to the charity of her choosing.
Earlier Thursday, the fashion-forward foreigner told E! News that his thoughts were with the troubled star and that he supported the decision—apparently made for, not by, her—to seek treatment.
"I have been in touch with those close to her, and all I can say is my foremost concern is for her to get the help she needs," he said.
Hjelmbak was slated to head to UCLA Medical Center to visit Spears later this afternoon.
