No more hit, run charges for Britney’s ex-boyfriend Tabloids, LA Times, the AP get tricky, distort facts
Tabloids and unofficial Britney Spears fan Web sites swelled over the weekend with reports of Adnan Ghalib pleading no contest “regarding” hit and run charges. A press release issued by the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office states he plead no contest to leaving the scene of an accident, not hit and run as charged by the prosecution in February. Meanwhile, when Richard Winton of the Los Angeles Times reported the update, he not only made it seem that he spoke to Jane Robison, news secretary of the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office, but omitted a key word from the press release where he allegedly got his information. “They must have got that from the press release and added my name,” says Robison.

Meanwhile, celebrity news outlets such as TMZ continue to perpetuate the false story on...
Ex TMZ paparazzo wants more than medical expenses
While TMZ broke the story on medical expenses and general damages claimed against Britney Spears by ex-TMZ employee Ricardo Mendoza, they left out what Mendoza is really after: punitive damages. As reported earlier Spears’ attorney, Benjamin C. Alvarez, made a motion to strike Mendoza’s claim to punitive damages last August. Alavez says that Mendoza hasn’t made a case based on fact and uses conclusionary unsupported allegations. Mendoza, who worked for TMZ at the time of the accident, claims Spears ran over his foot and, “…operated a motor vehicle recklessly, wantonly, unlawfully, maliciously and with conscious disregard for the rights, health and safety of others.” Spears’ attorney fired back in his attempt to dismiss the claim that Mendoza ...
