Her divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, resigned last month as her legal representative after telling reporters the singer "just wants to be a mom."She was there about 45 minutes while being booked on misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run and driving without a valid California driver's license, Lopez said.Each count carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail or a $1,000 fine.LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Pop star Britney Spears turned herself in to be booked on charges stemming from an August fender bender, police said.The two blocs were central to the 2004 protests against electoral fraud that swept Yushchenko to power in peaceful upheaval known as the Orange Revolution. But the team shattered when he fired Tymoshenko as premier after seven months in office.The charges resulted from an August 6 incident in which Spears allegedly hit another car in a Studio City, California, parking lot. The paparazzi captured the accident on video.Together, the parties won 228 seats in the 450-member legislature, Central Election Commission spokesman Konstantin Khivrenko said -- two clear of a majority. The rival party led by Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych won more votes than any other, but it was only enough for 175 seats.Spears' management company, the Firm, also quit after representing the singer for little more than a month.Reports of partying and bad behavior persisted.The traffic charges are the latest in what has been a difficult year for the former teen sensation.
