Celebrity Justice
Spears Charged with Brit and Run

Britney Spears has been charged with one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California license. Both charges are misdemeanors, each carrying a maximum of 6 months in jail.

The charges stem from an August 6 incident in L.A. where Spears was in a private parking lot in the San Fernando Valley.


The Los Angeles City Attorney filed charges this afternoon.

Spears' arraignment is set for October 10.

The City Attorney sent Spears a letter notifying her of the charges. That letter was mailed today.

The victim filed a police report at the LAPD North Hollywood Division on August 9 and filed a report.

After leaving her lawyer's office, Britney went to a home in Bel Air.


A neighbor says the home is owned by a nurse. Ding dang, y'all, we don't know why she was there. After that, she went to a pet store in Malibu. We'll post that video tomorrow.

166. Obviously Brit has some serious problems. IMO they go beyond drugs or drinking. I'd say bipolar, or something similar. Drinking and drugs are only compounding the problem. I'm hoping that the judge, or hopefully there will be a GAL (guardian ad litem) appointed for the children's best interest, will order not only drug/alcohol testing, but also a mental health/psych eval. It's obvious she needs help. I'm not a fan, but I hope she gets help. The girl has two children, I'd like to see her get the help she needs so that she is able to raise the two boys. They didn't get to choose their parents, unfortunately. So, let's hope these two "adults" can get/keep their acts together long enough to get the boys into adulthood with the least amount of damage to them. Poor things!

168. Human beings are really cruel. You drove Princess Diana to her death, did the same to Anna Nicole, and now you are on the same path towards Britney Spears. God helps us all when you decide that someone has to go. I do not know this child, would not buy any of her records but I really feel sorry for her. You all keep pushing and pushing her to the brink so it is only a matter of time before you get the big scoop. If you had any decency, all of you would leave her alone, we all make mistakes but it is most unfortunate that hers are out there for you to salivate over. Leave the child alone before it is too late.

170. Infuriating! all the money in the world and she is worried about damage to HER car, never once taking a peek at damage to the other car!!!

171. Britney do not worry about the ladies car!!! Her insurance will pay to fix it and why should you be bothered??? The legal system for the rich is not the same as for the poor working person. Britney-You got the gold so you make the rules!!!!! Tell the police to kiss where the sun don't shine!!!! The police can just go bother some hourly worker and leave you alone. Britney you will find out being rich is great!!!!!!

172. For the love of God. I can't imagine being hounded 24-7 by money hungry photographers capturing my every move on film. Who wouldn't be nervous? And yes on occasion I have had my share of fender benders not that I am proud of it but it is not the end of the world. Besides, those without sin should be the first to cast the first stone. (Do I hear crickets?) Thought so.

174. RE Does anyone know? Please answer!

According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, Britney Spears has never been issued a California license. Ever!

BY LAW, California residents must get a California driver’s license within their first 10 days as a resident.

Britney never did that!

175. DAY-UM ....

176. Why does she have to go out in public every day in the first place. It's only to get more publicity!!. No one has to go "shopping" all the time. Most of the time she comes out of those places without any purchases anyway. Maybe a cup of whatever it is she's drinking is mostly what I see her carrying. So why should everyone feel sorry for her. She should stay home sometimes and take care of her kids.

177. I don't know what her excuse is for driving without a license.But I saw the tape of that accident, and that is just what it is, we all have them, She did go back inside the store she was at and did try and locate the owner of the car............Jeez we have all had an incident happen like this at least once in our lifetime. You know I just wish that you people would have pulled OJ apart like you are doing to her, That is a person that deserves it. You all must feel real good about yourselves right now. I just hope nothing like this ever enters your lives because you probably would not know how to handle it,
GOOD LUCK SCREWBALLS

178. The City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said "According to the DMV, Ms. Spears was never issued a California Drivers License - ever".

179. I can't even believe how clueless she is! It isn't like she nicked the bumper, she practically hit that car at a 90 degree angle!! And then she SLAMS her door into the side of the other car when she gets out. After she looks at her own car, she walks away WITHOUT EVEN GLANCING at the damage she did to the other car (in two clueless incidents)!!! Is she high, selfish, clueless or dumb as a stump? Probably all of them!!!

And she never wears a seat belt! Ding-dang!
