Britney Spears and the paparazzi
p2pnet news | Music:- Yesterday, we ran Mark J. Terrill’s pic on the top right, published by Associated Press.
It’s Britney Spears. Stoned? Drunk? Who knows? But whatever her problem, photo-’journalists’ are all but climbing into the ambulance with her.
You can see some of the results in the picture on the bottom.
We suggested the caption should be along the lines, “Paparazzi hyenas jostle and shove in a fight to get a picture of a desperately ill woman as she’s rushed to hospital.”
Today, “Britney Spears was hospitalized as a Los Angeles court commissioner Friday barred her from visiting her two young sons,” says the Los Angeles Times, going on, “But it was the behavior of the paparazzi that was generating debate after a bizarre media standoff outside her hillside mansion.”
It goes on:
While photographers have long followed Spears and other stars around when they shop, hit the clubs and hike, the 24/7 stakeout is something relatively new.
“There are about 50 to 60 guys who follow her wherever she goes. If it is the middle of the night, five or 10 of them will be on her,” said Frank Griffin, a veteran paparazzo and co-owner of the Bauer Griffin agency. “What you saw last night, it has been like that for a while wherever she goes. She has nothing left but those moments.”
The incident began around 8 pm on Thursday, “after bodyguards from her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, went to her house to pick up Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1,” says the Los Angeles Times, continuing, “They were scheduled to return to their father’s custody, authorities said. By the time officers arrived at the home, Spears had turned over her older son to the bodyguards but had locked herself in her bedroom-bathroom suite with Jayden James, according to officials.
“Officers reported that Spears was incoherent and arguing with officers, sources said.”
Adds the story, quoting Griffin, “”Britney has a symbiotic relationship with the (paparazzi). There is no longer a degree of separation. There is a link that cannot be broken.”
