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.

91. Every body needs to lay off Britney.....she is a very troubled young woman......... give her some peace and let her get her problems strighten out...........
The public and publicty is'nt helping her get it together one bit, But, only adding fuel to the fire........
She is hounded day after day like a rabbit........she does'nt have one bit of privacy....and this must be very stressful to her......could it be she is suffering a near nervious breakdown?
A human can't only handle so much, and she has had her share of trouble.....Oh, some of the problems she has had, she brought on her on.........But, hounding her and yaking, and yaking about her only makes her situation worse.........
This is a beautiful young woman, and very talented......But, being populer and talented has about distroyed her.........by the public.
Let her handle her life,problems, with out all the publicty......she needs to get good counseling and support in order to get her life back on track.... leave her alone to do so.

93. #65 how do YOU know she left her info? And she didn't lose her license as result of the "accident" she didn't have a valid license to begin with! Are you her little sister or something? If you are - stage an intervention for the sake of those children. And stop calling her a child or a young gir. She is a 25 year old grown woman and it's time to stop blaming her mother for everything. At 25 it's damn well time to take responsibility for her own actions. She ought to be thanking her mother - if not for mom Britney would still be a hillbilly in podunk Louisiana.

97. HERE'S WHAT THE OWNER OF THE CAR SAID

"I found out it was Britney Spears who hit my car and I was sort of amused…Of course she’ll get to me," Robard-Rifkin remembers thinking, “because obviously there was a lot of paparazzi there and what kind of person wouldn’t realize that wasn’t going to be on TV and she had to be responsible and contact me?"

As it turns out, Spears did not contact the nurse. Instead, Robard-Rifkin found out about the accident when an Australian reporter showed up at her door at 8:00 a.m. the morning after the accident for comments.

Robard-Rifkin’s husband then went online and saw the pictures of Britney hitting his wife’s station wagon. “I saw pictures of exactly what happened,” says Robard-Rifkin. “It was bad enough that she hit my car, but then when she got out and slammed her car door into mine, that was sort of slightly annoying.”


She DID NOT LEAVE A NOTE, wake up you brainwashed Brit fans

Oh and isn't it interesting she went to the house of a nurse today...the owner of the car is also a nurse...hmmmm?

98.
With all the real problems that are going on, it seems people would spend their energy doing something constructive about them, such as trying to bring the publi's awareness of Homeless people, homeless Mother's and Children, Right's of family, CPS' false alligatations, and child stealing, messed up Justice System, Social unjustice, and so many other Issues that need to be changed ..... the public can make a change in these and other Issues....by demanding a change......Those are real Issues that must be changed, because they affect us all in some way.........Brittney S. is just one person, a intertainer, who you can do nothing about.........

99. Hey Dottie, why don't you contact Britney and her people and see if she will use her celebrity to help bring attention to any of those worthy causes you mention. Or maybe she can dontate much need funds to them. She could be a spokesperson for change and all the evils in our society.
LOL

100. This is September 21, 2007 so August 9th is old news and you are trying to senationalize it! Once again, TMZ is desperate for news, you are scrapping the barrel. It is obvious your reporters are extremely bais toward Britney Spears. Your reporters didn't learn about the importance of timing and real time news when they graduated from grammar school or did they ever graduate? TMZ, is this the best you can do?

The difference between 8/9/07 and 9/21/07 is that she could do 6 months in jail NOW!!! BRITNEY's dumb ass never made a police report or even contacted the owner of the car that she hit. It's on video, she's busted, the only thing she could say to the judge is "Im not that innocent" hahaha

102. I think Britney Spears is dangerous to herself and her children. She is a crazy white person and needs help.

103. Re: #109:

Puleeze. Brit can't even take care of her kids, drive a car, go booze free and fix her life.

And you're asking her to be a responsible spokesperson to save the homeless?

America's no. 1 girl gone wild needs a 10 inch vacation, not PC role model status.

104. Just like everybody else, the district attorneys office is using Britney Spears for publicity. This is what they did to Paris too. They should be ashamed of themselves. Britney is in the middle of a custody battle and they want to get their 15 minutes of fame. These lawyers are like other people in her life... trying to milk Britney for all they can get. No wonder she is in the state she is in!

105. I'm not surprised by anything she does anymore. When Mariah Carey went crazy, they put her in the loonie bin for a few weeks until she pulled it together. Doesn't anyone remember that? Why don't they just stick Britney in a mental hospital until they figure out what's wrong with her. One thing is for sure, she's miserable being a mom. She probably has too much pride to just tell Kevin Federline that he can have them.
