Last December, Britney Spears filed a $20 million lawsuit against US Weekly magazine because of a story it published about an alleged sex tape of her and her much derided husband, Kevin Federline. Spears alleged that there was no tape and that the details of the article were false. US Weekly responded by filing a motion seeking to have the case dismissed, and last Thursday a California Judge said she was not ready to rule on US Weekly’s motion yet and that more information was needed. Thus, the Court gave Spears’ attorney an opportunity to depose an US Weekly editor and a former attorney, although the Spears camp is not going to be allowed to depose the article’s author or the article’s alleged source. The next hearing is set for May 3, at which time the Court will likely rule on the motion.
For the love of all that is good in this world, as much as I hate celebrity lawsuits, I really hope that Spears wins this case. Not because I care about the outcome of the case, per se. Rather, if she is successful, it means that there probably is not a tape showing Spears and Federleezy doing dirty things, and the world would be a better place for the nonexistence of such a tape. After all, as I understand it, for every person who see Britney Spears having sex, an angel loses its wings.
