Britney: Magazine says oops!

London, July 19 (Reuters): The National Enquirer celebrity magazine has apologised to Britney Spears in its British edition for reporting that the pop star was ready to divorce her husband Kevin Federline.

“In the 5th and 12th June 2006 issues of the UK Enquirer, we published articles under the headlines ‘Britney Marriage is Over!’ and ‘Britney and Kevin: And Now Their Divorce!’” the Enquirer said in its latest edition on newsstands on Tuesday.

“Contrary to what our articles might have suggested, we now accept that their marriage is not over and they are not getting divorced,” they said.

“These allegations are untrue and we now accept Britney’s position that the statements are without foundation. We apologise for any distress caused,” it added.
