A court has refused to stop lawyers involved in Britney Spears' child custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline from speaking to the press.
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon rejected the request after Anne Kiley argued that media coverage was "emotionally and physically" dangerous to the troubled pop star.
Mr Federline's lawyer, Mark Kaplan, said the absence of a gag order did not leave Spears' children in jeopardy and that Spears was more concerned about the paparazzi frenzy that followed her.
