Britney Spears Charged With Hit And Run

Pop tart Hot Britney Spears is in yet more trouble in Los Angeles after being charged for a hit and run. The 'Toxic' hit-maker will face two charges stemming from an incident in August when the star drove her black Mercedes convertible into a parked car.

The car, also a Mercedes, suffered damage in the crash but Brit failed to try and find the owner or leave a note, prosecutors alledge.

Hot Britney Spears was also charged with one count of driving without a valid California license.

Both charges carry a maximum of 6 months in jail.

Spears hit the parked car on August 6 while she was shopping at a Los Angeles pharmacy.

Cameras that caught the collision showed the star was not wearing a seatbelt at the time and was clutching her new Yorkie puppy, London, while navigating her turn into a parking spot.

In the process she hit Kim Robard-Rifkin's silver Mercedes station wagon.

Robard-Rifkin, a Beverly Hills nurse, only learned of the incident when photographers who offered to be witnesses contacted her.

"I found out it was Britney Spears who hit my car and I was sort of amused, sort of shocked, sort of like, 'Oh, only this could happen in La La Land," Robard-Rifkin said at the time.

Hot Britney Spears' arraignment on the charges is set for October 10.

The Los Angeles Attorney sent Spears a letter notifying her of the charges.
