Britney Spears
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: McComb, Mississippi, United States, 02 December 2020
The order did not spell out what directives the US star failed to comply with. A hearing was scheduled for October 26.
The pop princess is battling her former hubby for custody of their two young sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.
A message left with Britney’s lawyer, Anne Kiley, was not immediately returned.
Britney turns herself in - Oct 17 2007
Britney Spears has reported to a Los Angeles police station to face charges of hit and run and driving without a valid licence, US police said.
Officer Mike Lopez said the troubled pop star was fingerprinted and photographed before leaving about 45 minutes after turning herself in.
"She was fine, co-operative," Mr Lopez said. "She did her business and came out."
Britney, 25, was wearing large designer sunglasses and a black turtleneck dress and jacket. As she left the station, she told KCAL-TV that all went smoothly.
"They were nice," she said of the police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.
The charges stem from an incident on August 6 during which paparazzi filmed the Toxic singer steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a space in a Studio City car park. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.
The owner of the other vehicle, Kim Robard-Rifkin, filed a police report three days later.
Britney had been ordered to report for booking before an October 25 court appearance.
She has been spending a considerable amount of time dealing with legal issues lately.
On October 1, a court commissioner ordered her to temporarily relinquish custody of her two young sons to ex-husband Kevin Federline, citing concerns over drug and alcohol use.
She was in court last week to appeal against the order and was granted one overnight stay a week with her boys, but the visits must be monitored.
Britney’s sons allowed weekly visit - Oct 12 2007
Britney Spears has won modified visitation rules that allow her two boys to spend one night a week with her after taking her case to a US court.
The pop star’s lawyer requested her mother becomes the required court-appointed monitor.
Britney made a surprise appearance in the Los Angeles courtroom after Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon held a morning hearing on her emergency request to expand visitation but declined to rule.
He gave attorneys for Britney and her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, who was recently granted custody, more time to discuss the matter outside court.
Britney was previously allowed monitored visits with the children but no overnight stays.
K-Fed, who was not at the hearings, agreed to the modification, his lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said outside court.
"He agreed -- didn’t have to -- but he agreed that he would allow that additional time," Kaplan said.
Britney, 25, and K-Fed, 29, were married in October 2004 and divorced last July.
They must both appear in court on October 26 for a status hearing.
When Britney arrived at the courthouse dressed in blue jeans, a long black sweater and wearing aviator sunglasses, she said "I’m doing good."
The commissioner allowed her to keep her dark sunglasses on, telling her: "I understand you have a medical condition."
The condition was not disclosed.
She spent about an hour in the courtroom, then drove off in a white Mercedes-Benz swarmed by news media at traffic lights.
She escaped only after sheriff’s deputies ran from the courthouse to aid her.

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.
Having given birth to son, Sean Preston, Britney seems to have put her career on hold despite the success of a greatest hits album and the launch of her fragrance, Curious. Meanwhile rumours persist about the state of her marriage to Federline with the press accusing him of taking no interest in his wife and son and of cheating on the singing star.
