SPEARS CALLS IN SICK TO COURT DEPOSITION

Britney Spears was unable to attend her court-ordered deposition Wednesday morning due to an illness, a lawyer for Kevin Federline announced.

"I was told of a general [medical] condition, and [Spears] felt she couldn't attend," Mark Vincent Kaplan said outside his Los Angeles office.

Spears's friend Sam Lufti told People magazine in an e-mail: "She's sick, both physically and high anxiety. Millions of press outside. It's too much."
