Britney Spears

Britney has come back, and made it big! She is not only looking great, she has also won the MTV Europe prize for best album of the year with “Blackout”, an album that surpassed those of Coldplay and Duffy.

She was also voted the artist with the best performance of 2008.

Spears could not attend the Liverpool gala, as she is already intensely working to finish her latest album, called “Circus”, which will be out on the market in only a few weeks.

The other focus point of the night was Sir Paul McCartney, who was honored with the Ultimate Legend Prize, for his evolution and contribution to world musical culture. To honor him even more, this year’s MTV Europe Awards gala  was held in Liverpool, his place of birth.

Other trophies went to Rick Astley (best performance of all times), Katy Perry (best new artist), 30 Seconds to Mars (best rock or alternative artist), and Tokio Hotel (best live acting band).

Britney Behind the Wheel

Last August, Britney Spears “hit it one more time”….this time in a parking lot, and it was a classic case of hit and run. Unfortunately for her, the whole incident was caught on camera and the case went to court.

After many hours of deliberations, the jury could not reach a verdict as not all of the members were of the same opinion regarding this incident.

It is more than possible that some of them did not want to see one of their favorite singers in jail for six months and also paying a fine.

The surprise of this trial comes when one takes a look at the charges brought to the singer. She was not accused of causing an accident; she was trialed for not having a California driving licence when she is actually living in Beverly Hills.

As the jury could not make their mind, Superior Court Judge James A. Steele has ruled this as a mistrial and it is not sure whether this case will be trialed again.
