Britney told to report to police - Oct 10 2007
Britney Spears has been ordered by a judge to report to a Los Angeles police station over an alleged hit-and-run.
Commissioner Rebecca Omens said the 25-year-old must be fingerprinted and photographed before October 25, when she is required to appear in court.
Britney was charged last month with hit-and-run and driving without a valid licence after she allegedly crashed her car into another in a car park in August.
She was not present for the arraignment.
She was represented by attorney Michael Flanagan, who said his client "must go to any LA police station for fingerprints and mug shots".
"She will do that, but I don’t know when," Flanagan told the celebrity website CelebTV.com.
The charges relate to an August 6 car park crash during which paparazzi filmed Britney apparently steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a space in Studio City.
After assessing the damage to her own car, a paparazzi video shows her apparently walking away.
The owner of the other car, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report three days after the incident.
She learned it was Britney who had allegedly hit her car through a video posted online.
Britney’s video to be shown - Oct 7 2007
Britney Spears is reportedly going to release her first music video in more than two years.
The video, for her new single Gimme More, which is currently the most downloaded song on iTunes, will be shown exclusively on MTV TRL at 3.30pm ET on Monday, the network’s spokesperson said to People.com.
In it, the singer plays a sexy brunette pole dancer and a curious blonde watching her.
Like videos for her previous sexy hits, I’m A Slave For You and Boys, this one is just as raunchy.
In the video, a toned ’Bad Girl’ Britney, sporting a tattoo on her bicep and dressed in a black leather vest and skimpy panties over ripped fishnet stockings, dances erotically around a pole and up against a mirror. She flips her hair as special effects lights flash around her.
Brit, sporting a seductive and confident look on her face, dances alone, and is joined by other female dancers.
As she moves, the ’Good Girl’ alter-ego watches from the bar, giggling and sometimes stunned.
Gimme More has headed up the Billboard charts to No 3.

The song, released to radio stations in August, also topped the US magazine’s Hot Digital Songs chart at No. 1 with 179,000 downloads,
Gimme More is the first single from her new album, set for release on November 13.

During the early years of her career Britney made millions thanks to merchandising deals and successful hits. But she faced controversy throughout with rumours of plastic surgery and feuds with other stars. Her third album, which saw her take a sexier and more adult turn, was a relative disappointment while her critically panned but box office friendly debut movie Crossroads was a fleeting highlight. Meanwhile her long relationship with Justin Timberlake came to an end in 2002 amid claims that her reputation as a virgin was false and in fact that she had cheated on the N*Sync star?Britney responded by sharing a kiss with idol Madonna on stage at the MTV Awards ? an act which saw the pair criticized more than admired.
The kiss signaled the end of Britney?s pop-childhood and with the release of In The Zone and the hit single Toxic she began building a new fanbase. A drunken Las Vegas wedding to childhood friend Jason Alexander ended in annulment after just fifty five hours but, rather than concentrate on her career, Britney continued leaning on the lovelife self destruct button. She, despite advice to the contrary, married dancer, aspiring rapper and all round rat-faced bad boy Kevin Federline in a trailer trash wedding in 2004 and within months announced she was pregnant.
