Britney considers suing magazine

Britney Spears may take legal action against an American magazine.

US Weekly published photographs of the singer's recent holiday with husband Kevin Federline. However, the magazine did not have permission to print the pictures, which were stolen from the couple by an "unknown perpetrator".

An investigation is underway regarding the theft of the photos, but US Weekly denies it obtained them illegally. "The magazine acquired the photos strictly through legal means," a spokesperson commented.
