The continuing saga of aging pop princess Britney Spears has once again raised its troubled head in the chat rooms of online bingo. Charged over the weekend with a hit-and-run crime and driving without a valid licence, Britney faces a maximum penalty of six months jail time and a £500 fine.
The charges relate to an incident in which the career-challenged singer allegedly hit a parked car and drove away without doing anything about it. Paparazzi photographed the incident and she was later dobbed in by some upstanding citizen.
While not quite the train wreck witnessed by many free online bingo players watching the MTV Video Music Awards in which Britney catastrophically performed her latest single, the incident keeps the pressure on her troubled existence and her face in the tabloids.
