It's her against the music.

The would-be documentary filmmaker accused of donning camouflage and sneaking onto Britney Spears' property in hopes of capturing the Circus star on video proclaimed her innocence in an L.A. court today.

Miranda Tozier-Robbins, 26, pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor trespassing charges, which could net her a maximum of six months in jail.

Representing herself, the onetime American Idol hopeful entered the plea after briefly meeting with the prosecutor in Judge Jay Ford III's chambers following a dispute over one of the charges.

"I was detained at the residence, your honor. I wasn't asked to leave," she told the judge in response to an allegation that Spears' private security guards asked her to go away and she ultimately refused.

A pretrial hearing set was scheduled for July 17, but Ford indicated he expected some sort of plea deal to be worked out before then. The judge did not rule on whether to return Tozier-Robbins' confiscated video footage.

Ford remains subject to a temporary restraining order prohibiting her from coming within 100 yards of the "Toxic" singer and her home.

Spears, meanwhile, just returned to L.A. after wrapping up her tour of Britain and Ireland. It was during her concert in Manchester when, per the Telegraph, Spears took the stage and welcomed the crowd with a hearty "What's Up, London?"

Nice to know that even if Brit doesn't know where she is on a day-to-day basis, her overzealous fans do.
