Britney was gone and as out of sight, out of paparrazi sight as she could manage to be, but boy did she ever come back in style. When she arrived back at LAX, the paparrazi were waiting like heroin addicts lined up outside of a methadone clinic before it opens. Everyone needed a fix. And tempers flared.
US Magazine says, “Britney's security was not equipped to handle the situation,” an eyewitness told Usmagazine.com. “It was mass chaos with photographers standing on the escalator with Britney and she literally had nowhere to go. Her bodyguards had no idea what to do.”
There were no real winners in this. Well, except blogs like mine and the people that got to watch the mayhem. Ahh the weirdness and randomness that isBritney Spears.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A paparazzo who pressed charges against Britney Spears after her car allegedly ran over his foot was himself to blame for any injury it may have caused, prosecutors said in refusing to pursue the case. After reviewing police records and a videotape of the incident last year, Deputy District Attorney Joseph D. Shidler wrote Friday that the "only way the victim's foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location."
The photographer, who was not identified in the report, filed a criminal complaint against Spears in early May, nearly six months after the alleged incident. A copy of the police complaint was not immediately available Monday, but it sought a felony charge of failing to stop after an accident involving an injury. Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley's office reviewed a videotape and photos of the incident, which don't show the photographer being hit. The report also describes a chaotic scene surrounding Spears, with photographers on all sides of her car and "a lot of noise and confusion." The report describes Spears' as "driving at an extremely slow rate of speed and in a straight path."
The 26-year-old pop star has had her share of trouble behind the wheel, including a highly publicized incident in 2006 where she was photographed driving with her son on her lap. A misdemeanor hit-and-run charge stemming from a 2007 parking lot crash was dismissed after she settled with the car's owner. In October, she pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license, and earlier this year was involved in a minor fender-bender on a Los Angeles freeway. Also Monday, documents were released detailing a request from Spears' father for payments relating to his conservatorship arrangement.
The document filed on behalf of James Spears seeks an undisclosed amount of money for helping his daughter shop for groceries, handle custody issues with her husband, Kevin Federline, and visiting her in the hospital in February and March. The filing also states that he held meetings to shore up security at Spears' homes and occasionally cooked meals.
Britney Spears is to make a cameo appearance alongside the Pussycat Dolls in their new video. Spears joined the girl group at the shoot in Burbank, Calif., on Wednesday, according to "Access Hollywood." The promo is for the band's latest single "When I Grow Up," from their forthcoming second album. It is the second time Spears has performed with the "Don't Cha" hitmakers -- she previously joined them on stage during a private gig at her older brother Bryan's birthday party in 2004.
Troubled star BRITNEY SPEARS' former manager LARRY RUDOLPH has refuted reports the singer is in secret negotiations to stage a major comeback spectacular in Las Vegas. Rumors of a Sin City performance emerged earlier this month (May08), after the pop star was spotted dining with Palms Hotel & Casino owner George Maloof Jr. in Los Angeles.
But Rudolph has denied claims the Toxic hitmaker will be appearing on stage in the Nevada city. He tells the Las Vegas Review Journal, "She's not here (in Las Vegas) and she's not coming in. I wouldn't lie to you."
