The Ventura County Superior Court in the United States has delivered its ruling in the DUI case involving pop star Britney Spears. The 44-year-old singer was given a 12-month probation sentence, according to People.

In addition to the suspended sentence, the court ordered her to pay a $571 fine and credited her with one day of time served, which had been completed during earlier proceedings. The artist managed to avoid an actual prison sentence after pleading guilty and spending several weeks in rehabilitation.

However, Spears is still required to complete a three-month rehabilitation program, attend weekly sessions with a psychologist, and see a psychiatrist twice a month. The court also authorized inspections and searches if necessary, including the possibility of confiscating the singer’s vehicle.

To recall, the incident began in March when police stopped a vehicle that was making dangerous lane changes. Britney Spears was behind the wheel. Officers determined that the artist was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

2000s pop princess Britney Spears has entered a rehabilitation facility. The 44-year-old singer is reportedly undergoing treatment for alcohol and drug addiction.

According to TMZ, after the artist was detained for driving under the influence in California, those close to her insisted on her hospitalization. Ultimately, Spears agreed to receive professional help at a rehabilitation center in the United States.

«She realized she had hit rock bottom. She understands that this will make a good impression on the judge — showing that she is taking the matter seriously,» an insider told the publication.

Spears has struggled with substance abuse issues before, with several difficult periods in her life contributing to these challenges.

Following her divorce from Kevin Federline in 2007, the singer experienced a severe mental breakdown, which became one of the most widely publicized scandals in the entertainment industry. This later led to 13 years under a conservatorship managed by her father, which was only terminated by a court ruling in 2021.

Britney Spears, the pop princess of the 2000s, has sold the rights to her biggest hits for an astonishing $200 million.

According to BBC News, while the official details of the contract remain undisclosed, it has been revealed that the artist and Primary Wave finalized the agreement in December of last year. Western media outlets are already calling it one of the most high-profile deals in the entertainment industry in recent years, drawing comparisons to Justin Bieber’s catalogue sale for a similar amount.

Representatives for the singer have declined to comment. And although Britney remains one of the most successful pop artists of her generation, she stated in a 2024 interview that she would «never return to the music industry».

Among the hits that have now passed to Primary Wave are iconic tracks such as Baby One More Time, Oops!… I Did It Again, Toxic, Gimme More, Everytime, Piece of Me, (You Drive Me) Crazy, and Hold It Against Me, among others. The company will be able to license these songs for use in films, commercials, and television series, or grant rights to other artists for covers and remixes.

It is worth noting that Primary Wave has previously acquired the catalogues of Prince, Whitney Houston, and The Notorious B.I.G.

Singer Britney Spears has publicly responded to excerpts from the memoir of her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, You Thought You Knew. The book is set to be released on October 21, but some passages have already found their way into the media. In them, Federline describes alleged moments from their life together –  including an incident in which he claims to have seen Spears holding a knife near the children’s room. The memoir also mentions Britney’s mental health struggles and her so-called «unstable behavior».

However, the 43-year-old artist refused to stay silent and spoke out emotionally, calling the stories in the book fabrications and accusing her ex-husband of manipulation and of trying to profit from her name.

«The constant gaslighting from my ex-husband is incredibly painful and exhausting. I’ve always dreamed of nothing more than a peaceful life with my sons. I wanted them to be part of my world. But sadly, they grew up in an atmosphere of disrespect toward me, created by their father. One of my sons has seen me only 45 minutes in the past five years, the other just four times. The so-called innocent lies in this book have hit me hard. If you know me, you’d never believe the rumors about my mental health or alcoholism. I’m an intelligent woman who’s been trying to live a quiet life for years. And I’m saying this because I’ve had enough – any real woman would do the same», Britney wrote on social media.

Spears’ representatives also issued a statement, noting that Federline is once again attempting to profit from her name, especially since he stopped receiving alimony payments.

«With the news of the book’s release, Kevin and a few others are once again cashing in on Britney. She’s focused solely on her sons – Sean Preston and Jayden James – and their well-being. She has already shared her true experiences in her own memoir The Woman in Me», said the artist’s spokesperson.

For reference: Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were married from 2004 to 2007. The couple had two sons, who remained in their father’s custody after the divorce.

The 2000s pop princess Britney Spears has two sons with her ex-husband Kevin Federline: 19-year-old Sean and 18-year-old Jayden. The boys live with their father, and Britney has rarely had the opportunity to see them.

However, this Christmas, Britney finally reunited with her sons. She shared the news on her personal blog, saying she was finally very happy. As it turned out, Spears had not seen her children for two years.

«The best Christmas of my life! I hadn’t seen my boys for two years. Tears of joy and literal shock every day! I’m crazy, in love, and blessed! I have no words, thank you, Jesus!» — Britney wrote emotionally.

It’s worth noting that Britney’s children didn’t live with her due to her unstable mental state. For many years, the star was under the conservatorship of her father, James Spears, who believed it was safer this way. However, Britney managed to gain her long-awaited freedom through court proceedings.

Now, Britney Spears is free and happy. She frequently connects with her followers, often sharing quirky dance videos. As for her personal life, she is regularly rumored to be romantically involved with various men. Last year, she divorced model Sam Asghari, with whom she had dreamed of having a child. The couple might have become parents, but Britney suffered a miscarriage.

A notorious Hollywood mansion has been listed for sale in Los Angeles for $18 million.

In 2009, actress Brittany Murphy passed away in this house due to pneumonia and a drug overdose. Just five months later, tragedy struck again: her husband, producer and screenwriter Simon Monjack, was also found dead in the mansion.

The couple purchased the property in 2003 from Britney Spears, who had claimed the house was haunted. According to her, ghosts were driving her insane and trying to push her down the stairs.

In 2011, Murphy’s mother sold the property for $2.7 million. By 2013, the original house was demolished, and a new six-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion was built in its place. However, rumors persist online that the issue is not only with the house but also with the «cursed» land. As a result, there aren’t many buyers willing to acquire the property today.

Britney Spears has decided to try her hand at being an entrepreneur. The 42-year-old singer announced the launch of her own jewelry brand called B Tiny.

«My first line of jewelry is coming out soon! Elegant, extraordinary, and unique! I’m so excited! I understand how amazing it feels to be an artist», — the singer remarked, disabling comments on her post for unknown reasons.

Additionally, she revealed the logo of her business project and the first piece from the new collection.

«Girls, I’m sure you’re going to love it!» — assured the celebrity.

It’s still unclear when the jewelry will go on sale or what the prices will be.
