Driving Miss Britney
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is investigating the
circumstances surrounding a foot injury suffered by one of its police
officers. The department is trying to determine whether the officer’s
injuries were caused by the wayward driving of none other than famed
citizen Britney Spears. Did Britney really run over the toes of an L.A.
County Sheriff deputy? Well, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office has
indicated that it is too soon to determine whether any charges will be
filed for the alleged foot damage. The injured cop was guiding Spears
past the paparazzi who were swarming her at her L.A. County Courthouse
custody hearing.
If true, this may turn out to be another
“Oops! I Did It Again” moment for the pop princess. In October, a video
recording was posted on Hollywood.tv that showed Spears driving over a
paparazzo’s foot. The squashed piggies incident occurred a few hours
after an L.A. judge had stripped Britney of her visitation rights.
Driving does not appear to be one of Spears’ strong suits. As a matter
of fact, she previously had to temporarily give up custody of her
children because of her driving in defiance of a judge’s order.
Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon had ordered Spears and
ex-husband Kevin Federline not to drive with their children in the
vehicle unless they had proper insurance and valid drivers’ licenses.
A
few days after the order, Spears was photographed at the wheel, driving
around with two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.
Papers recently filed with the court indicate that Britney’s income is
$737,000 per month, certainly enough to employ a full-time chauffeur.
Perhaps in the future there will be a starring role for Spears in
“Driving Miss Britney.”
