LOS ANGELES - A judge said Thursday she needs more information before ruling on a motion by US Weekly magazine to dismiss a $20 million libel lawsuit filed against it by Britney Spears.
Spears filed the lawsuit in December, alleging the magazine printed a false story reporting that she and husband Kevin Federline had made a sex tape and were worried about its release.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole allowed Spears’ legal team to depose an Us Weekly editor and former employee, the magazine’s attorney, Al Wickers, said Thursday.
The next hearing is scheduled for May 3.
