Paparazzi Crush At Britney's House, Police Called

LOS ANGELES — Police were called to Britney Spears' neighborhood after someone reported a swarm of paparazzi trespassing in the singer's gated community.

Los Angeles police Officer Mike Lopez said officers received a call around 7 p.m. Monday about a group of photographers "stepping onto the grounds" of the private neighborhood while following the 26-year-old pop star.

When officers arrived, they didn't see anyone trespassing, Lopez said. He said citations were issued for several illegally parked cars.

Lopez said he didn't know how many photographers were following Spears.

Spears has spiraled downward since filing for divorce from Kevin Federline in November 2006. Her bizarre public antics include shaving her head bald, attacking a car with an umbrella and bringing along a paparazzo pal on trips to a courthouse in her custody case with Federline.

She was taken to a Los Angeles hospital by paramedics earlier this month after police were called to her home because of a dispute involving her sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1. She has lost custody and visitation rights with the boys.

One day she'll wake from the trance she's in, look around, and the shame will drive her to be a recluse. No, this girl needs hospitalization before it's too late.

She was photographed last week exhibiting her mentrual blood...no kidding. You could see it seeping through her fish net panty hose. She was showing off her lower half---the part of the body usually covered by slacks or skirts. She wore a blouse and the fish nets. That was it.
And she walked into a restaurant that way.
As one blogger said..."At least she's not pregnant!"

The Courts have to keep these 'people' away, it is getting ominous.

Enough already! I am so sick of hearing about this crazy chick. Please everyone ignore her so she goes away!

britney may have gotten hit by some associate or other. that may have been the edge County is looking for to get her into some kind of relationship with mental health professionals. we hope so because we (selfishly) want more britney music. improbably to huffposters i'm sure, britney is by far the most popular musician in the world. i think "breathe on me" on the remix is the best way to try to understand why britney unlocks the modern complex dance beats and makes them expressive and about something. britney offers some kind of narrative that her contemporaries understand. they are deeply involved with the fate of britney. love has played britney false; and she must be redeemed from that.

She was looking for a new paparazzo to bed, and these guys went berserk while getting in line. It's not their fault. In fact, she should pay them for their services.

Oh, that Britney. What wild, crazy thing will she think of next? Maybe she'll shave her head and waltz around without any panties... y'know, just for kicks.

I can think of a more than a couple previous 'objects of special attention' who, to end the ordeal, put a gun in their mouths and pulled the trigger. If that happen to Britney its guarantted the press will spend the next decade blaming everyone BUT themselves. Just like the did with princess 'lets chase her car into a concrete abutment' Di.

If only half as much media attention went to warrantless wiretapping as photographing the vapid Britney $pears....

The story's not about Spears anymore, its about the gutter press. 'Entertainment Tonight' turns my stomach these days with its celebrity-chasing footage. Want to see the true face of the 'new millenium'? The Press swarming around Spears like flies on crap. That just about sums it up.
