The Hairspray actress will answer to counts of fleeing the scene of two crashes - one in April and another last month - when she appears in court for arraignment on September 27.
The 26-year-old initially avoided prosecution over the first smash on the Los Angeles Freeway on April 10 due to the absence of an independent witness. However, the case was re-opened after the second incident August 4.
Los Angeles City attorney's spokesman Frank Mateljan is bringing the charges against Amanda after dents on her black BMW car appear to match those of a damaged Volvo, which was rear ended. A witness had subsequently reported seeing Amanda leaving the scene without giving her information following the incident.

Glenn Close Wears Her Movie Costumes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrity Gossip,
The 65-year-old actress "hates" shopping and doesn't buy many clothes for herself, so she likes to wear the costumes donned by her screen alter-egos. "I really hate shopping. Maybe a handbag. I don't spend a lot of money on myself. I'm very lucky I can wear some of the costumes from the Patty Hughes character in the series Damages," she admitted.
Glenn has enjoyed a career which has spanned four decades, but she believes social networking website Twitter has had a huge impact on the film industry. The screen icon thinks micro-blogging site has made it harder to get certain types of movies commissioned, meaning independent films face more "challenges" than ever before.
"Studios make their money with Spider-Man and Transformers. The big movies make the money and they can't afford to make the smaller movies because of things such as marketing costs. There will always be independent films and there are the film festivals that are important venues for those movies but it's never going to be easy. It's challenging and I know there's an audience for independent films - but they're not in the 18 to 25 demographic. There are so many different ways to watch films now. If you don't have a movie that's Tweetable in the first five minutes you're told you've got a problem. People are always fascinated by stories. The challenge is there are a lot of things competing for people's attention against films."

Russell Crowe Rescued by Coastguard
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Kind Acts,
The 48-year-old actor and a friend were stranded on Saturday when they lost their way in the waters off New York's Long Island and had to be ferried to a harbor by a rescue boat. US Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert Swieciki said the pair got lost as the sky darkened and beached their kayaks in Huntington Bay, almost 10 miles east from where they had set out.
The US Coast Guard was patrolling the area, and heard the Noah star call out to them from the shore around 10pm and paddled over to the boat. "He just needed a little bit of help, he just got a little lost. It wasn't really a rescue, really, more of just giving someone a lift," the coast guard said.
Russell - who was described as "grateful and friendly" - later thanked his rescuers on Twitter: "Thanks to Seth and the boys from the US Coast Guard for guiding the way ... 4 hrs 30 mins, 7m. (sic)"
