Posted by mulan 2 years 14 days ago

A judge has tossed out Britney Spears's $10-million lawsuit against US mag, ruling the popstar cannot be defamed by rumors that she and husband Kevin Federline had made a sex tape and feared its release. The magazine published an article in October 2005 claiming that the couple were worried about the release of a sex tape, and were "acting goofy the whole time" while watching the tape with their lawyers. A Superior Court judge said that Spears has "put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye," and that it would be...

"I think we're close to making a decision about how we're going to handle Perez," X17 V.P. Kelly Davis (the one Perez recently called a lying "cunt") tells Radar. She also adds via e-mail that other photo agencies who've been burned by photo-driven celebrity...

Last year Beyonce got sued by a lady who claimed the words from Baby Boy were stolen. After comparing the two songs, the judge found the songs "substantially dissimilar." In response, Beyonce said, "It's unfortunate that lawsuits such as this one occur, but I am grateful and relieved to have this behind me and I am eager to move on." Looks like Beyonce is having a good week. First partying with new BBF Gwyneth, then debuting her new clothing line and now this.
And Beyonce is moving on big time. One of the things on her list was showing off...
