Paula Abdul has been charged by the Los Angeles city attorney with one count of hit and run, reports TVs Celebrity Justice.According to city attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan, a Mercedes-Benz belonging to the American Idol judge clipped another vehicle on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley on Dec. 20, 2004. The driver apparently failed to look while changing lanes and did not stop to exchange information, Mateljan told the Associated Press

There were no injuries. The driver and passenger in the car that got clipped took down the Mercedes' license plate number and photographed it with a cell phone camera, Mateljan said.

Celebrity Justice reports that the driver of the clipped car called the California Highway Patrol on Dec. 21, and the CHP contacted Abdul ? who said her car was in the shop on the day in question. She said the vehicle suddenly died on the freeway, though mechanics could find nothing wrong.

CJ says that Abdul, 40, told the CHP she only remembers hitting a pothole around the time of the incident.

The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum punishment of 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

"Straight Up"

Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
If you are all that you seem
Then baby I'm movin' way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

::Chorus::LyricsCafe.com::
Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run

Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
I keep getting chills
When I think your love is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information--please

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say--bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me
Do do you love me ?

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history-book

I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

{Chorus cont.}

I've been a fool before

Or am I a page in your history-book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information--please

{Chorus out}

3. Hitting a pothole yeahsure

[Lavender Brown]

5. Maybe she was on the phone with DJ Scat Cat and got distracted

[warrens]

7. At most, that's leaving the scene of an accident

Hit and run usually means hitting a pedestrian.
