Britney Spears has filed a $20 million libel lawsuit against celebrity magazine Us Weekly, charging it published a false story reporting she and her husband, Kevin Federline, made a sex tape and were worried about its release. According to the lawsuit, Us Weekly refused Spears’ request for a retraction saying it stood by the story. Spears is seeking $10 million in libel damages and $10 million for misappropriating her name and image to promote sales. The article was published on October 17th in the magazine’s Hot Stuff column and claimed that Spears and her husband had viewed the tape with their estate planning lawyers on September 30th.
