There’s no Federline-Spears tape: Lawyer
From Dan Whitcomb

LOS ANGELES—There is no “sex tape” involving pop star Britney Spears and estranged husband Kevin Federline, his lawyer said on Tuesday.
After Spears filed for divorce from the fledgling rapper this month, reports surfaced in the tabloid press that Federline had in his possession a videotape of the couple having sex and was considering making it public.
“There is not a sex video of Kevin and Britney in existence,” said Federline’s divorce lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan. Representatives for Spears had no immediate comment.
“It goes without saying that the stories of Kevin attempting to sell such a video are patently false and anyone who reports that they have information of such attempts is either lying or reporting the lie of someone else,” Kaplan said in a statement.
Earlier this month, Los Angeles judge dismissed a lawsuit that Spears filed against Us Weekly, claiming that the magazine defamed her when it reported the existence of a sex tape. Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole ruled that Spears, 24, could not be defamed because she had “put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye.”
After two years of marriage, Spears filed for divorce on November 7, citing irreconcilable differences with Federline and seeking sole custody of their children, 1-year-old Sean Preston and James Jayden, who was born in September. Federline, 28, responded the following day with court papers seeking spousal support and custody of the children.
Rumours had swirled for months that the marriage between the pop princess and aspiring rap artist had turned rocky. The duelling court papers and accompanying remarks by Kaplan that Federline was trying to “protect and safeguard the children” suggested a bitter split.
Spears shot to fame as a teenage sex kitten in 1999 and has sold more than 70 million albums to become one of the best-known celebrities in the world. Federline, who was a dancer in her music videos before their secret 2004 wedding, has lived in her shadow, often referred to as Mr. Britney Spears, or K-Fed.
