Britney sex tape claim 'not defamatory'

A judge has ruled that a story claiming Britney Spears and husband Kevin Federline made a sex tape was not defamatory, saying the star had put her sexuality “squarely and profitably” in the public eye.

Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole threw out the singer’s $10m (€7.8m) lawsuit against celebrity magazine US Weekly, which reported last year that the couple were worried a member of their entourage planned to release a video they had made.
