Celebrity Justice
"Secret Witness" in Britney Custody Case

Posted Sep 7th 2007 10:46AM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned attorney Gloria Allred is on her way to court in the Britney Spears/K-Fed custody fight.

We're told Allred will inform the judge that she has a secret witness who wants to testify at the Sept. 17 hearing. Allred will tell the judge the witness is "intimidated" and concerned about revealing his/her identity (TMZ is told the person is a he).

Here's our take: Gloria's gonna be unceremoniously thrown out of court. We're told last Tuesday, K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, also informed Judge Scott Gordon that he had a "secret" witness. Judge Gordon basically said, "We don't do secret witnesses." Do Gloria and Mark have the same "secret" witness? It sure feels that way.

Britney's lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, told TMZ: "With all due respect to Ms. Allred, she's attempting to bring her own ring to what was already a three ring circus."

5. Can I give you some advice, please stop posting Brittney news, you guys are overplaying it now, we don't care what happens to her. Remember what happened when you guys overplayed Paris, this is getting old. It's a pain in the butt to scroll through your page and 3/4 of it is all Brittney, stop! Thank you

7. There's enough witnesses in this case already. Britney may have had a few slipups, but she's not a bad person. With help and some time, hopefully, the girl will find her way back again. But must the other side make it so hard for her?

13. Lets see... What side is this comming from? Well, If it were someone helping Britney I would think she would have wanted him to be seen by now. She needs a image boost .what could she gain by keeping it a secret? ( And she is to stupid to keep a secret.) On the other hand we all know how desperate she is right now. If KF is about to drop a bomb ( and there HAS to be one somewhere) It might be dangerous.There are ALOT of people who make their living off of Britney. And we have seen them get physical. Desperate people WILL do crazy things. Interesting... but so sad. I wish it were over. I hate being so drawn to all of this drama but it is so delicious.
