No jury service for Madonna

Madonna has escaped jury service in Los Angeles after a four-hour court date.

The pop superstar turned up at Beverly Hills Courthouse on Monday morning prepared for her civic duty, but a judge dismissed her just after lunch.

Ever-fashionable, the 'Material Girl' changed outfits during her lunchbreak, according to TMZ.com - from a brown velour tracksuit to a pair of black pants and a black jacket.
