Hit me baby one more time…
Is it possible to go an entire week without hearing about yet another Britney Spears fender bender?
Apparently not.
The reforming pop diva gives new meaning to the term repeat offender.
Less than a month after she slammed into a SUV in L.A. Spears rear-ended a red Ford Explorer in Beverly Hills this afternoon.
Witnesses on the scene described it as a “minor” car accident.
Reports indicate that the 26-year-old singer was driving her white Mercedes-Benz SL65 from her Studio City home to downtown Beverly Hills when she rear-ended the Explorer.
“I think she was just distracted,” said a witness. “She just tapped the other car in front of her.”
Hmmm… “Distracted.” Nice spin on “completely out of it.”
Witnesses tell news reporters that Spears was stopped at a red light but, for some reason, accelerated before the light turned green and hit the Explorer that was stopped in front of her.
No injuries were reported, though both vehicles sustained minor damage. According to reports, Brit didn’t even bother getting out of her car. Rather, her bodyguard who was riding in the front passenger seat got out and gave his business card to the female driver of the SUV.
Police were not called to the scene, instead witnesses say the driver of the Explorer followed Spears back to her gated community to exchange insurance information.
Less than 24 hours prior to Brit’s latest incident Drew Barrymore was also involved in a fender bender, only she was the one at the who got hit and the person who rear-ended her didn’t bother to stick around to exchange niceties.
Apparently that didn’t sit well with the actress. According to police reports, Barrymore hightailed it after the offender and took down the other driver’s license plate number.
Sheriff deputies say the 33-year-old “Charlie’s Angels” star wasn’t injured when her car was rear-ended Monday in West Hollywood.
As for Barrymore’s pursuit of the other driver, police say they don’t recommend motorists chase down offenders after an accident as it could lead to a volatile and possibly deadly situation.
Still, police emphasized that getting a license plate number is instrumental to tracking down a hit-and-run motorist.
Do you think Barrymore did the right thing in following the person who hit her?
