A lawyer representing Britney Spears has asked for a delay to the pop star's upcoming trial on the misdemeanour charge of driving without a valid licence. J. Michael Flanagan filed the request to the LA Superior Court yesterday. He has twice asked for the case to be dismissed, saying that the star should be allowed to pay a fine, and not be forced to face a criminal trial, especially in light of her recent difficulties, and the fact that her father is still in control of her personal and financial affairs. The charges relate to an incident back in August 2007 in which Spears was unable to produce a valid California license after hitting a parked car, and subsequently left the scene.
Elsewhere in Britney news, her ex, paparazzo Adnan Ghalib is reportedly attempting to sell that sex-tape featuring the singer again, which isn't very nice. As previously reported, he claims to be in possession of two hours of video footage of Spears wearing nothing but a pink wig, filmed while the pair were on holiday in Mexico earlier this year. Heat magazine quote him as saying: "There is such a tape, but I won't discuss prices for hypothetical enquiries. Unless there is a locked-in deal, I will go no further".
