Britney Spears burbling and talking incoherently about time travel was the top celebrity video of 2006, watched over 3 million times, according to Viral Video Chart. Paris Hilton appears no less than 3 times in the top 10, with Lindsay Lohan, Pamela Anderson, Kevin Federline and British actress Keira Knightley also making the cut.

London, England (PRWeb) January 23, 2007 -- The public's appetite for those Oops! ... I Did It Again! moments involving pop princess Britney Spears shows no sign of waning as she scooped the number one celebrity viral video for 2006.

A clip of Britney Spears burping and talking incoherently about her belief in time travel was viewed more than three million times to take top spot comfortably, said Viral Video Chart.

Live TV footage of Spears' former husband Kevin Federline apparently getting a text message informing him the pop singer had filed for divorce was second with nearly two million hits.

Viral Video Chart says it scans several million blogs a day to see which clips are being talked about most and compiles a daily list of the 20 most-viewed videos.

Seinfeld co-star Michael Richards' racist outburst was third in the 2006 chart with over a million hits just four weeks after it was first posted online.

Richards sparked a public outcry for spewing a torrent of racial slurs at hecklers during his stand-up act at the Laugh Factor comedy club in Hollywood on November 17.

The incident was captured in digital camera video footage that was widely circulated on the internet and was broadcast on TV newscasts three days later.

Actress Lindsay Lohan talking less than generously about socialite Paris Hilton was fourth, while a video of Hilton crashing a Bentley claimed fifth place.
