TMZ has learned LeAnn Rimes will NOT face criminal charges for an alleged hit-and-run incident last month in Brentwood.

As TMZ previously reported, the LAPD questioned Eddie Cibrian's plaything at her home on August 21 -- moments after she was accused of fleeing the scene of a minor fender bender.

We're told LeAnn claimed she didn't know she clipped another car -- but she was cooperative with police and handed over her insurance information when they came to her pad.

Wednesday, cops officially closed the case after deciding no crime was committed.

The good news: It was a rental.

We're told Sean wrecked the Bentley on Sunset Blvd., near Boa Steakhouse. It happened at around 3 PM PT. He was renting the expensive ride from Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car for $2,500 a day.

The rental place tells us they don't sell coverage on high end vehicles ... so it looks like Sean may be in the hole anyway.

UPDATE: A rep for Sean tells us he was a passengerin the car and a female was driving at the time. We're told she lost control and hit the curb.

TMZ obtained the footage of a movie crew shooting an action sequence in L.A. for the upcoming Seth Rogen flick, "The Green Hornet" -- and the footage could reveal a very expensive screw up.

In the first clip, The Hornet's car -- the Black Beauty -- speeds around the obstacles and escapes into the street.

The crew resets to shoot the scene again, except this time the Black Beauty appears to lose control -- hits the obstacles and crew members scramble to remove the driver from the wreckage.

You never know what's intentional on a movie set -- but so far, we're unable to reach a rep from Columbia Pictures to confirm that this crash wasn't planned.

United Royal Coach confirms they'll be picking up immediate family members at the Jackson Encino compound this afternoon -- and will deliver 'em to Forest Lawn in five stretch Phantoms. We're told Katherine and Joe will ride in the first vehicle.

Since the family members are regular customers, they even got 'em at a reduced rate, which no doubt helped lower the already "extraordinary" burial costs.

We hear the expensive whips were meant to be wedding presents for Michael's three children someday -- but none of the Rolls we spotted looked as if they'd been driven recently.

All the items removed from Jackson's home were moved to an L.A. storage facility -- some will be used for an upcoming memorabilia tour.

We're told the actress is fine and there were no injuries -- her car was towed away from the scene.

At least one cop arrived on scene to help out.

It appears one of the headlights from Renée's car was shattered and one of the cars lost a license plate in the smash.

Sources close to Renée tell us, "This is not her fault. Someone made a U-turn into her."

UPDATE: Cops tell us the call came in at 11:00 AM PT -- no one was cited for the crash and there were no injuries.

FYI -- One of her massive bodyguards got his own cart.

George Michael's bad luck behind the wheel continues -- he was arrested in England early Saturday morning (different time zone, people) after being involved in a nasty car accident.

Michael -- who lost his license in 2007 after admitting to driving under the influence of drugs -- smashed his Land Rover into a seven-ton truck at around 1:00 AM in Newbury, Berkshire ... this according to Sky News.

UPDATE: Cops tell TMZ alcohol was NOT a factor in the crash. We're told cops interviewed Phelps after the accident and determined that a field sobriety test was not necessary.

We're told Michael refused medical treatment and left in a "personal vehicle."

Michael Phelps was just involved in a three-car accident in his hometown of Baltimore.

Phelps reportedly emerged from the wreck unscathed, but a woman in the other car was shaken up and taken to a local hospital. We're told she complained of "head and arm pain."

The accident occurred around 9pm local time.

A police spokesman says the Olympic Gold Medal winner was driving a Cadillac Escalade, which collided with a Honda accord.

We're told by witnesses on the scene -- the two cars collided after someone ran a stoplight -- and then hit a third car that was not moving at the time.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash.

One of the local papers is reporting that a passenger in Phelps' car was also injured, but it's unclear as to the extent of that person's injuries.

We're told there is already a tow-truck on scene removing Phelps' ride. We're told Michael's car received "heavy damage."

Story developing...

The ride is an upgrade from his the busted up 1989 BMW he used to drive -- a car he couldn't keep track of and even joked about losing.

Who knew emo hipsters loved German luxury vehicles?!

But fear not animal lovers -- according to local news, the horse only suffered minor injuries ... the car, not so much.

TMZ has confirmed "Criminal Minds" actor Shemar Moore was hit by a car while riding his bicycle in L.A. on Saturday.

A rep for Moore -- who once dated Halle Berry -- tells us the actor was rushed to a local hospital and treated for a broken leg.
