Britney Spears has failed in her latest bid to regain the right to see her two young sons after again ducking a court hearing on the issue, Los Angeles court officials said.
Spears, 26, who has either not turned up at numerous hearings or has turned back because of a media crush, was filmed by news media arriving at the Los Angeles court building on time.
But she did not make it to the courtroom where her lawyers and her ex-husband, dancer Kevin Federline, went ahead with proceedings without her.
