Britney in Tears, Faces Year in Jail for Car Accident
Britney Spears‘ bad week continues. The singer, 25, was charged Friday with one count of hit and run causing property damage and one count of driving without a valid California driver’s license, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office. Each misdemeanor charge, stemming from a fender-bender in a Los Angeles parking lot on August 6, carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in jail.
When asked by Usmagazine.com in what state Spears might have a valid driver’s license, city attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan replied: “Not in California.” Mateljan would not confirm whether Spears even possesses a valid driver’s license in her home state of Louisiana.
“According to DMV records in California, no license has ever been issued to her,” he said.
Spears is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges on October 10.
Earlier Friday afternoon, Spears was spotted fighting back tears as she entered the L.A. building housing the offices of her attorney, Sorrell Trope.
Wearing a sheer lace top, straw hat, and her new preppy-chic glasses, Spears was ushered into the building by a woman as paparazzi swarmed around her.
Trope is Spears’ third lawyer of the week. On Monday, Laura Wasser removed herself from the pop star’s custody case with ex Kevin Federline. Attorney Marci Levine filled in for a short time afterwards, before Spears settled on Trope on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, a Los Angeles judge called Spears a “habitual, frequent” user of controlled substances and alcohol, and ordered that she submit to biweekly random testing for illicit substances.

Ok……She’s got more money than the frigging Pope. All she had to do was tell one of her lackey’s to call an attorney and take care of the other person’s expenses. But….She’s too selfish and self-absorbed to even bother. Karma has given this little girl a big kick in the rear.

I just noticed that it looks like she is wearing blue colored contacts, on top of glasses. I wonder if the glasses have prescription lenses? Strange…I do like the glasses though.

Britney has oviously hit a brick wall. We need to stop eating at this woman. I wish someone could convince her to move somewhere out of the spot light for a few years. She needs to heal, focus have quiet time and find spiritual peace and happiness in being a mother. No one is perfect it’s just that unless your famous no writes about it. God Bless you Britney, you will recoup if you desire.
