Britney barred from visiting sons

A court commissioner has today given sole physical and legal custody of Britney Spears’ two sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline and suspended the troubled US pop star’s visitation rights.

Los Angeles Commissioner Scott Gordon issued a ruling the day after paramedics hauled Spears away from her home. Police had to intervene when she refused to return the children to Federline after a court-monitored visit.
