Britney libel lawsuit against Us Weekly on hold

Britney Spears' libel lawsuit against Us Weekly magazine is on hold because a judge says she needs more information to make a ruling. The magazine is trying to have the $20 million lawsuit launched by Britney dismissed. Ms Spears is suing over the story that she had made a sex tape with hubby K-Fed and that the couple were worried about it being made available publicly. A lawyer for the magazine confirmed last week that the judge hearing the case had allowed Spears' legal team to question Us Weekly's editor and a former employee outside the court room to help them expand their case. The judge says she needs more information from both sides before proceeding. With that in mind, all parties will regroup at the LA court on 3 May - hopefully with sufficient information.
