TMZ.com reported Sunday it has been told it will be subpoenaed to turn over videotape showing troubled celebrity Britney Spears, her children in the backseat and a text-message device in her hands, driving through a red light last week.
A judge in Los Angeles is currently considering a request by the children's father, Kevin Federline, to prohibit Spears from driving with the children in the car. Her license has reportedly been suspended, although the video shows her at the wheel last week.
The video, shot at the intersection of Mulholland Drive and Coldwater Canyon Boulevard, shows Spears inching the car through a line of phalanx of paparazzi who had surrounded the car. The driver, identified by TMZ and the photographers as Spears, appears to be busy typing a message into a cellphone's keyboard, and the sleeping children are visible in the back seat.
As photographers yell "red light, red light," Spears inches into the intersection and turns left against a red arrow, as oncoming cars honk. That intersection, at the crest of a hill, has been the scene of numerous crashes.
TMZ reported Sunday that Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, has contacted them and said he will subpoena the tape, which was broadcast last week on the TMZ television show.
