A Los Angeles court commissioner has denied a request from Britney
Spears' divorce attorney to issue a gag order in the pop star's child
custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Attorney Anne Kiley argued Tuesday that media coverage was dangerous to Spears "emotionally and physically."
Kiley contends the court should prohibit attorneys from discussing
the case with the media and not publish the dates and times of hearings
and dispositions.
Federline attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan says a gag order won't stop paparazzi from following Spears.
Federline and Spears weren't present at the hearing before Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon.
