Britney Spears, Charlie Sheen Names Involved in Computer Hack Case    ·    May 24th, 2006

Talk about your odd couple. Both Britney Spears and Charlie Sheen’s names were brought up in the allegation that the a woman who runs an LA paparazzi agency computers were used to illegally hack into the computers of Us Weekly magazine to obtain information about celebrities, reports TMZ.Com.

In a story that has sparks written all over it sources tell TMZ the U.S. Attorney obtained the search warrant several days ago.

TMZ reports it this way:

Law enforcement went to the home of Jill Ishkanian, a partner at Sunset Photo and News. We’re told the Feds seized computers and other items. As of now, the official file is sealed.

We’re told Ishkanian founded Sunset Photo and News last year after leaving Us Weekly where she had worked as a reporter.

In a related development, TMZ spoke with former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss, who tells us the Feds contacted her and accused her of being involved in the alleged hacking plot. Sources say Fleiss and Ishkanian are close friends. Fleiss told TMZ the allegations against her are “ridiculous.”

In a late afternoon development in California Ishkanian’s lawyer, Glenn Feldman, contacted TMZ to say that his client has been subpoenaed by Britney Spears’ lawyers in her suit against Us Weekly.

The update reveals that Spears claims that an article in Us Weekly alleging she made a sex tape with husband Kevin Federline was bogus.

Feldman says he finds it “coincidental” that his client is suddenly being targeted. Feldman adds Ishkanian “did not receive any information from Us Weekly by hacking into any computer, especially information about Charlie Sheen.”

Charlie Sheen, Heidi Fleiss and Britney Spears and computer being hacked - this has drama and movie rights written all over it.
