As if Britney didn't have enough problems at the moment, she now has to deal with the repercussions of having had run over a paparazzo's foot. Last night, as the pop star was pulling out of a parking garage in Beverly Hills, she attempted to slowly drive off when suddenly a man in a camouflage jacket fell to the ground. The swarm of photographers documented the entire incident and in reaction, Britney's hand rose to her mouth and she began crying. Driving off without talking to the man in question, Britney also did not file a police report with the Beverly Hills police--in fact, they claim that no one did.
In other Britney-driving news, she had just reached a financial settlement that day with the owner of the car involved in Britney's hit and run, that took place on August 6th. Additionally, Britney's arraignment for two other charges related to driving incidents will take place later this month. I know they swarm her like bees on honey, but maybe it would be best if she didn't drive at all. I don't know--just a thought.

Ok, I've seen the way these photographers surround her and other celebrities. They have ZERO boundaries. I'm surprised that more of them haven't been run over.
peachpie says:
i agree T-bone -- i'm surprised one or more of them hasn't been just flattened like a pancake -- accidentally or intentionally.
the thing i don't get in this case is why she just drove off. wtf? no reasonable person runs over someone's foot, bursts into tears, and then drives off. how about -- hopping out of the car and asking the dude if he's ok? need a lift to the er? can i at least help you up off the ground? SOMEthing.... sheesh.
T-Bone says:
In a way, peachpie, I think celebrities are torn between being human and covering themselves. If Britney would have gotten out of the car and said "I'm sorry" then she would have admitted guilt and opened herself up for more legal troubles and a possible lawsuit. On the flip side, she could get sued because she DIDN'T get out and acknowledge it. Catch 22, if you ask me. I'm sure she ran home and called her lawyers. But I still think many of the photo-ogs are completely out of line and they put themselves at risk by getting so close.
Chaz says:
I think given the obviously reckless behavior of these photographers (no sympathy for them here--what a useless way to make a living), Britney would have had clear sailing legally had she bothered to talk to the police. But I guess that would have interfered with her all important Cheetos-and-meth break.
Julie says:
Good! Why are they able to get so close without expecting to get run over?!?!?!? I wouldn't have stopped. I wouldn't put myself in danger because he/she wouldn't back off. I think I'd start making a habit of accidentally running them over.
peachie says:
catch 22 indeed, T-Bone. it's a tough position to be in; point well taken. i'd feel a little less cynical if i believed that she DID go home and call her lawyers. but i don't. i just don't think she has the mental capacity to understand that she did something bad and there might be a price to pay for that. i'm not saying it's all her fault. in this instance, the pap's as much at fault - maybe more - than she is. they're ruthless. just ruthless. and overall, it's not all her fault b/c she just didn't have the training and upbringing that most human children do -- being taught the diff b/w right and wrong; what responsibility is; how to handle yourself in a variety of social situations; learning how to behave in a professional setting; respecting authority; how to create and nuture personal relationships..... all those things she just did not have.
as a result, she has a very long history of ignoring problems: k-fed's philandering, her mother issues, financial issues, parenting issues, legal issues. i just read this morning that the parenting coach has called it quits. she is not going to brit's house any more b/c brit didn't show again for a schedule appointment at her home. she thinks the judge is unfair. on and on and on. many times, when someone acts in a manner that you don't understand or feel is appropriate, it's b/c the person doesn't know what to do or how to act. you see it with young children all the time.
it's pretty sad, really. and i'm not sure who, or what, can help her. she certainly is not equipped with the tools to help herself.

I agree T-Bone... I'm surprised more of them HAVEN'T been ran over.

It serves that Pap right for getting too close to her car!
Her hit and run....was as much her fault as the pap's following her. This little chitlin bearing tramp is only firing on 1 cylinder any-how. Toss in a constant parade of camera toting MexiCAN's it's no wonder the doppey Ho can't tell if she's coming or going. and lastly. I would love to feel her freshly injected plump lips wrapped around the shaft of my corndog. Her making that painful MRRGGRUMMPPHH sound with each slobbering stroke up and down my rod. Ahh but her reward...my warm soothing tartar sauce squirting all over those swollen babies.

Nice Capt. Corn.
Perhaps you should envision your mother in a housecoat with giant curlers in her hair. That should take care of your rather disgusting fantasy life.
Applespice says:
LMAO T-Bone
Logan says:
Anyone that wears white athletic socks with those sandals deserves to get their foot run over. It's okay when you're like 2 years-old. Universal law..........
capt cornhole says:
Yo T-Boner....if you would like, I can launch a load in your cornhole. If you are very polite, I might let you give me sloppy wet rim job after I was done working over your turd squirter.
Eyes of Green says:
Well, I see the upper class posters have finally arrived.
anyway, maybe if she runs over one or two of these guys a day, she'll have them wiped out in a month or so. If you are stupid enough to stand that close to a moving car, it's your own fault. I think it's the best thing she's done in a while.
green cardigan says:
capt cornhole - go stick it where the sun don't shine dear.

If I was her I would have driven over all those paparazzi. They are just the garbage of society and they are making money out of her human weakness and misfortune. Britney needs help and humanity.... but not this cruelty!
