Popstar Britney Spears didn't pull over right after speeding on her way to Las Vegas last night. The Los Angeles Highway patrol officer quickly accelerated up behind her in the fast lane and put on his lights. Britney, to everyones amazement, just casually continued on her way and it took her close to one mile to finally pull over and exit the freeway, where she pulled into a gas station to see another squad car waiting and ready to intercept her. As she stopped the officers took up defensive positions with hands on their guns and torches raised whilst one slowly approached the car and identification was requested. After a quick talking to, the female officer finally realized who Britney was. Britney pleaded innocence and used the old 'paparazzi were chasing me' line. Unbelievably, she was just given a warning and sent on her way. In fact, the sternest words of the whole incident were from one of the officers towards the ever present media.
She's Britney Spears. Celebrity - tabloid fixture - soap opera star - etc.
Her two guy friends love Brit's real life drama.
Meanwhile TMZ is reporting that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were out at Britney's house today to investigate why her dog was wearing a cast.
Madeline Bernstein, President of SPCA - LA, told TMZ tonight, "We have received various sources of complaints throughout the day. Some said that Britney's Yorkie dog was injured and had a cast on and some said the dog had a broken leg and was not treated. After the calls started pouring in, we did go to Britney's house today [on Mulholland Drive] but were just able to leave a note with the housekeeper. The matter is not if the dog had an accident, but if the dog is getting proper care."
Madeline also told us they haven't heard back from Britney yet. "Britney is out of town," Bernstein tells us, "but we hope to have an answer soon and get the matter resolved pretty quickly."
