Britney Spears At Center Of LAX Scuffle

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Britney Spears is back in Los Angeles, and it didn't take long for trouble to find her.

Within moments of arriving at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday evening, Spears' entourage was involved in a scuffle with a paparazzo.

Between 30 and 35 photographers swarmed her vehicle outside the terminal before a bodyguard pushed a camera into a photographer's face, airport police Sgt. Jim Holcomb said.

Holcomb said the paparazzo complained that the shove left a slight mark on the cheek, but cooler heads prevailed and no charges were filed.

The 26-year-old pop star was unscathed, and Holcomb says officers ensured she was able to leave the airport safely.

Thank god you guys reported this important story.

[sharonh]

There were no charges filed, but there should have been--against the stalking photogs. Leave the woman be.

She could avoid these human bloodsuckers by moving to Boston. Not only could she hang out with the Afflecks, Damons and Marky Mark, we'd also make her a member of 'Red Sox Nation' and an honorary World Champion 'Celtics' supporter.

...and the paparazzo still think we care because...?

I truly believe this young woman has Histrionic Personality Disorder

Hope she stays with her treatment

[bibimimi]

is she SO toasted that you have to use 2 year old file photos?

[hypnotoad72]

Hey papparonis or whatever you call themselves, leave her alone.

[GQTaste]

She invites this stuff. It's a sickness that she's afraid people won't care about her anymore if shes' not in the public eye. LIke Paris, Nicole, Lindsey, etc. There all the same. They'll do anything for attention.

Isn't this where we all came in? Britney in a scuffle - oh say it isn't so.

Apparently, Britney is through "helping" her little sister with her new baby.

[GerryS]

why was Brit at LAX? was she going somewhere with Mel Gibson again?

[JScott]

It's obvious she wants the attention of the paparazzi, at her income level folks like that can go to the private air terminal on the southwest side of the airport and board/arrive on a private chartered jet if they wanted to, or fly out of Van Nuys Airport and avoid the paparazzi completely.

i want the 50 seconds of my life back it took me to read this

[HopeGirl]

no kidding, me too. I actually need to some therapy or something to do-like clean my house for clicking on it to begin with. its a sign to make some serious changes. gotta go.

[andvoodoo2]

Don't feel bad you guys. What with the headline, we were all hoping for something really juicy. I was hoping Spears had caused a problem and landed in trouble.

[javaman]

Nothing from nothing, but being swarmed by 30-35 people doesn't sound like a great deal of fun.

[andvoodoo2]

It's called publicity. And, Spears' idea of hell is being "swarmed" by NO ONE.

[littlepuffycloud]

Whew...thank the lord Brit brit was 'unscathed'. But was she wearing underwear this time?

[Kenji]

That's what the photog was checking when he got his face bruised.
