I caught the last 20 minutes of Britney: Speared by the Paps on Sky 1 last week. It was a candid look into the world of the paparazzi who follow Britney Spears everywhere. Britney Spears has her own agenda and apparently laps up the attention and encourages the “photographers” but how low do you have to sink to crave this attention? Sickening and weird.
If you’re wondering just how bad it is, watch this short clip which was featured in the show. Britney visits Rite Aid and she’s mobbed by paparazzi.
So, is anyone taking bets on how long Britney will survive under this constant onslaught? She was taken to hospital in January while Paparazzi waited for her ambulance after she refused to hand over her kids to Police. You don’t even need any training to do what these guy do. They just buy a decent DSLR, a powerful flash and point it in the right direction.
Is it worth it? What’s the payout for these guys?
Celebrity gossip magazines and websites say that they will pay $10,000 or more for an exclusive photograph of Britney – three times as much as for an image of Angelina Jolie, the next most bankable star.
I’ll happily live in obscurity and photograph unknown strangers for no money at all! 🙂
I liked this commentary by Craig Ferguson on Britney Spears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bbaRyDLMvA
BTW, your comment form has white text on a white background in Firefox on OS X. So please excuse any spelling errors – it’s hard to proofread obviously.
Kevin – I’ll watch that tomorrow. l’ll watch that tomorrow! I don’t see what you’re seeing. The comment form in Firefox on my Macbook looks exactly like it does in Linux. Strange.
I caught a few minutes of that show as well, and it really does show how much the paps hound and harass her. And probably a lot of others as well!

Thanks Chris – updated to 2.5 again. I need to track that bug down.
The paparazzi can be scums and it’s crazy the lengths they will go to when they want a picture. Of course that’s the life you get when you choose to be a celebrity.
Of cousre they say she courts it but you don’t know her if you think that. She does her best to get away.
Hence running tha red light and driving too fast.
Just like lady diana
