Britney Spears, photographer settle suit

Ricardo Mendoza sued the pop singer in May, accusing her of assault, battery and negligently driving her car when she ran over his foot in Beverly Hills in October 2007.

Court records filed in Los Angeles show a settlement notice was filed on Monday. The records do not disclose the terms of the agreement.

TMZ, who employed Mendoza at the time, auctioned his tire-stained sock and donated the proceeds to charity.

The incident happened during a turbulent period for Spears, who hours earlier had lost custody of her two sons. She now has the No. 1 song on Billboard's charts with her single "3" and has since regained visitation rights.

"I don't know if Bob Dylan and Tom Waits are as authentic as I think they are. Perhaps they're not," Contactmusic quoted the 34-year-old as saying.

"Sometimes you start thinking that maybe Britney Spears or someone like that who's doing exactly what they want to do in the way that they best know how, is more authentic than any of those people you could mention," he added. (ANI)

Britney Spears' "3" Debuts At #1 On Billboard Hot 100 - All Headline News

Posted: 14 Oct 2009 10:44 AM PDT

October 14, 2009 1:42 p.m. EST

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Britney Spears is celebrating her third #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, coincidentally with her new single "3." Spears debuts in the top spot with her racy new track this week.

"3" sold over 255,000 downloads this week to also take #1 on the Hot Digital Songs chart. With the #1 debut of "3," Spears becomes the first artist to debut at #1 on the chart in over three years, when Taylor Hicks debuted with "Do I Make You Proud" in July of 2006. Spears might also become the only non-"Idol" artist to have a #1 debut this decade. (Carrie Underwood, Fantasia, and Clay Aiken also earned top debuts.)

The last non-"Idol" debut counted by Billboard is Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" back in November of 1998, when Spears was just hitting the scene with her first #1 single, "..Baby One More Time." Spear's single "Womanizer" also hit #1 on the chart last year.

Spears' #1 hits "3," "Womanizer," and "..Baby One More Time" all appear on her upcoming hits compilation, "The Singles Collection," which hits stores November 24th.

Britney Spears, Justin Bieber Score Top Hot 100 Debuts - Billboard Business News

Britney Spears, Justin Bieber Score Top Hot 100 Debuts
October 15, 2009 - Rock and Pop

By Silvio Pietroluongo, N.Y.

A s reported yesterday, Britney Spears becomes the first artist in over three years to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as her new single, "3," begins its chart life at the top. The track's arrival is fueled by 255,000 first-week digital downloads.

"3" is Spears' third No. 1, following her 1999 debut single "...Baby One More Time" and last year's "Womanizer." The latter set a then-record jump to the top when it soared 96-1 on the Hot 100 chart released exactly one year ago this week. That mark was later bypassed by Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," which flew 97-1 in February.

15-year old Canadian singer Justin Bieber has this week's second best Hot 100 debut, at No. 16 with "One Less Lonely Girl." The track immediately surpasses Bieber's current radio single "One Time," which itself reaches a new peak (26-21). Opening week sales of 113,000 downloads propels "Lonely Girl" to its impressive entry.

The "Glee" cast adds two more debuts to its chart take -- now up to nine appearances -- as the medleys "It's My Life/Confessions Part II" (No. 30) and "Halo/Walking On Sunshine" (No. 40) open in the top 40.

Other notable Hot 100 debuts include Chris Brown at No. 52 with "I Can Transform Ya" -- his first appearance as a lead artist since encountering legal troubles earlier this year -- the incarcerated T.I. at No. 54 with "Hell Of A Life" and the return of OneRepublic at No. 58 with "All The Right Moves."

Last week's No. 1, Jay Sean's "Down," falls a spot to No. 2 while also pushing Miley Cyrus' "Party In The U.S.A." from 2-3. Jason DeRulo holds at No. 4 with "Whatcha Say" while "Run This Town" by Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West slips 3-5. The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" falls 5-6, moving further away from the No. 1 rung it held for a decade-best 14 weeks.

Lady Gaga is the Hot 100's Airplay Gainer for a third straight week with "Paparazzi," though the song also moves down 6-7. Gaga is the only female artist to take the Airplay award for three straight weeks this year, matching her run with "Poker Face" in March and April.

Rounding out the top 10 is Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" (7-8), Owl City's "Fireflies" by (11-9) and Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" (9-10). Owl City's track is the act's first top 10, earned with its first chart entry. "Fireflies" also moves into the top 10 on Hot Digital Songs with 138,000 downloads. The chart's Digital Gainer honoree is Iyaz's "Replay," which rises 24-12.
