Britney Spears Loses Sex Tape Lawsuit

A news story said that Britney acted goofy while watching a sex tape she and Kevin Federline had made of themselves. She sued for libel. And lost.
“It is clear that plaintiff did not bring this lawsuit because she was falsely accused of acting goofy,” Hart Cole wrote. “The issue is whether it is defamatory to state that a husband and wife taped themselves engaging in consensual sex.”
The judge went on to conclude that Spears has “put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye” in a way that would make it unlikely for the magazine article to be found defamatory.
