Britney Spears resting at L.A. hospital
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Pop star Britney Spears was resting at UCLA Medical Center on Thursday, her mother said, hours after police escorted her to the hospital from her Hollywood home.
A long convoy of police and a Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance transported the 26-year-old singer to the hospital after midnight, acting on what the Los Angeles Times reported was a “mental evaluation hold.”
It was the second hospitalization for Spears this month. The police operation was planned far in advance and, according to the L.A. Times, followed a phone call to police from Spears’ psychiatrist.
Asked if her daughter was resting, mother Lynne Spears said “Yes” to a throng of reporters as she departed the medical center.

Iran to limit execution in public
Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahrudi also banned the publication of photographs or films of executions.
Human rights groups say Iran executed nearly 300 people in 2007 as it tries to improve security and reduce what it calls immoral behaviour.
Most executions take place inside prisons but some criminals have been hanged from cranes in public.
Correspondents say it appears Ayatollah Shahrudi wants to lower the profile of executions as Iran has been widely criticised by Western countries and international organisations.
Iran has executed at least 28 convicts so far this year, according to media reports.
Capital offences in Iran include murder, rape, armed robbery, serious drug trafficking, apostasy, adultery and male homosexuality.

Luis Gispert’s weirdly captivating “Pony Show.”
An African litter in the homemade painted-plywood shape of a Mercedes limousine is propped atop booming speakers, from which hip-hop rhythms blare. (The music was salvaged from a pirate radio station in Miami.) A small flat-screen TV inside the limo-hearse plays a continuous loop of snapshots gleaned from personal Internet websites, most of them showing white families, white hobbies, white parties and other white-pleasures.
