Britney Spears may actually be Deposed in 2008

Another year, another Britney story.  People is reporting that Britney will be deposed in early 2008.  Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan told PEOPLE outside Mr. Chow's in Beverly Hills late Saturday night, "we've got a lot to talk about."

Britney skipped her deposotion on December 12.  Though Spears cited physical illness and anxiety for her absence, Kaplan said, "She was, in fact, out later that day and night. It's not fourth grade where you get a doctor's note and it's all okay."  The attorney expressed hope that Spears will appear this time around so further measures, such as pursuing her in contempt of court or delaying the deposition once again, will not be necessary.

"Kevin isn't interested, nor am I, in punishing her," says Kaplan. "We just want to get information necessary to proceed further. I'm hoping remedies which include continuing hearings are all theoretical."

As for tabloid rumors that Preston, 2, and Jayden, 1, will also undergo drug testing, he says, "I haven't even heard about that, and I don't think that is true."

In fact, he says, the boys have been enjoying a wonderful holiday season. "It was a good Christmas for all," Kaplan confirms. "They were great. Kevin had all of his kids and it was a big, wonderful family setting. He was really happy, and the kids were happy."

Is it bad that I read "Britney will be deposed in early 2008." and wondered who would take her place as reigning public train wreck?

>.<

I think I need more coffee.

Gosh, y'all. I hope all this court stuff doesn't put a crimp in her party style, cuz that would be a real shame. I mean, just cuz she's them babies' mama don't mean she shouldn't be able to go party when she wants. Like some ole stupid judge can tell her what's what. Don't they know who she is? She will get deposed when she WANTS to get deposed, and no sooner. So Kevin and his law-yer can just take all that fancy legal talk and stuff it. Seriously, y'all.
