George Michael and cars just don't mix. Neither do George Michael and clean rap sheets.

The perpetually-troubled British songbird's official record took another hit this morning, when he was formally charged with possession of cannabis and driving under the influence of "drink or drugs."

The dual charges stem from his headline-grabbing accident last month, when a photography storefront in his posh neighborhood of Hampstead lost control of itself and crashed into the front of his car (maybe it was the other way around).

The 47-year-old is due back in court Aug. 24.
