Sick Britney Attacked Over Virgin Role....

Leaders of a Catholic group are outraged by claims Britney Spears is in talks to play the Virgin Mary in a spoof movie.French producers want the troubled pop star to take the lead role in new film Sweet Baby Jesus - about a pregnant 19-year-old who goes into labour alone on Christmas Eve.And officials at America's Catholic League are appalled the single mother-of-two is up for the role.President Bill Donohue tells the New York Daily News, "She is seriously miscast. She would be better suited to play the lead role in a flick called Monica (as in Lewinsky). If she did, the Catholic League would be delighted to send her a box of cigars".Meanwhile Britney Spears has been photographed out and about in Los Angeles in the early hours of Thursday (13Dec07) morning - after insisting she was too ill to attend her court-ordered deposition.The pop star was expected to give her deposition in her ongoing custody trial at the Los Angeles offices of her ex-husband Kevin Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan at 10am on Wednesday morning (12Dec07).But she failed to show up and Kaplan was told that she had a "general (medical) condition", meaning she could not attend.However, the 26-year-old was pictured leaving the Four Seasons Hotel in L.A.

with her assistant just before 2am on Thursday morning, according to tmz.

A new date for Spears' deposition has been chosen, but not made public.
