Spears' makes 1950s look sexy

-- Yahoo! Canada homepage on February 15, 2009

If the wording was rearranged to, Spears' 'provocative' new video makes 1950s look sexy, then yes, the apostrophe after Spears belongs. As it is, Yahoo! is merely identifying Spears, so there should not be an apostrophe. If you're still in doubt, consider: Britney's makes 195os look sexy. Wrong, right?
