Britney Spears Jury Leaves For Weekend Without Verdict
The following italicized article is from www.accesshollywood.com:The jury in Britney Spears’ misdemeanor driving-without-a-valid-license trial has left for the weekend without reaching a verdict.
Jurors left late Friday afternoon after deliberating for a little more than two hours.
The eight women and four men received the case after prosecutors and defense attorneys made their final arguments.
Spears hit a parked car last year while driving in California on her Louisiana license. Her attorney says she didn’t meet the state’s residency requirements and was within the law.
But prosecutors say the 26-year-old needed a license because she was married, had two children and filed for divorce in Los Angeles — and was ostensibly a California resident.
Spears did not attend any of the two-day trial.

Billboard Reviews 'Womanizer'
The following italicized article is from www.billboard.com:Everyone loves a good comeback, though it's ironic that commercially, Britney Spears never went anywhere. If anything, her personal troubles heightened interest in last year's "Blackout" album and top five smash "Gimme More." This year has seen a less public Spears —certainly none of the bizarre behavior of the past couple of years. "Womanizer" from new album "Circus" (Dec. 2), finds Brit in futuristic electronica mode (similar territory to peer Christina Aguilera). Credit producers/ writers the Outsyders for injecting a bit of reality into her lyrics, in this case directed at a certain ex, in which Spears chastises, "You say I'm crazy . . . I got your crazy." While the repetitive hook might affect chart longevity, the best news here is Spears' engaged vocal, unlike last year's tracks, which focused more on production tricks to cover unfocused delivery. After triple-play wins at MTV's Video Music Awards, where a coherent Spears appeared grateful and surprised —and a creative (albeit gratuitous) video that's igniting blogs—could it be our Britney is truly back?
