Judge to Britney: You're Too Sexy

Britney Spears was deemed too sexy for her lawsuit yesterday, as a judge threw out a libel suit Spears brought against Us Weekly for allegedly fabricating a story about some homemade porn cooked up by the pop princess and her husband Kevin Federline.
In tossing out the suit, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Lisa Hart Cole ruled that the article wasn't defamatory because Spears had, in her videos and reality TV series, "put her modern sexuality squarely, and profitably, before the public eye." Thus it would be unlikely for the magazine article to be found defamatory.
The Us article said that the couple was concerned about a sex tape getting leaked, and that they'd watched the tape with her lawyers, with Britney acting "goofy" during the viewing, a detail that Spears had objected to in the original suit. "It is clear that plaintiff did not bring this lawsuit because she was falsely accused of acting goofy," wrote Hart Cole.
