Britney Spears Stricken With Mystery Illness That Prevents Her From Caring About What Happens To Her Kids
Oft-troubled mother-of-two Britney Spears, photographed yesterday wearing a pink wig on an aborted field trip back to the Hustler store (perhaps to return the fluorescent hairpiece to its rightful mannequin owner), has failed to show up to K-Fed attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan's offices today to deliver a deposition in her ongoing child custody dispute:
After months of court wrangling, Britney Spears was scheduled to go under oath and have her deposition taken Wednesday morning (December 12), according to TMZ.com, but at press time she had failed to show up for the meeting.
The singer was reportedly scheduled to appear at the Los Angeles offices of Mark Vincent Kaplan, lawyer for her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, along with her lawyers, Anne Kiley and Tara Scott, but an hour after the proceedings were slated to begin, TMZ reported that Spears was a no-show. Kaplan told the site that the singer was suffering from an undisclosed illness that prevented her from attending the deposition.
With access to her children hanging in the balance, we're certain the undisclosed illness must be a legitimately serious one: Admittedly, this is pure prognostication, but we'd go so far as to say that she wouldn't be the first Starbucks patron to suddenly suffer the onset of a severely unsettled stomach and acute brain-freezing after too-quickly sucking down the contents of a Venti Starbucks Candycane Eggnog White Chocolate Frappuccino on their way to the sexywear store.
