Britney Takes Measures To Protect Her Kids From The Paparazzi
Britney Spears is now biting the hand that...uh, okay, maybe not quite correct, but there's just something so wrong with this report. It would seem that after all this time courting the paparazzi and trotting her offspring out for all and sundry to ogle, now Brit has had a change of heart and wants to keep her kids away from the photographers:
After Friday's hearing in which a judge ordered that Britney Spears is not allowed to drive with her children in the car, the pop star's lawyer has released a statement saying the decision to use a driver was one that Spears made to protect her kids.Spears attorney Anne Kiley tells Usmagazine.com, "Ms. Spears hopes that she and Mr. Federline will be able to reach an agreement as to all matters concerning their children. She hopes that by not commenting on court proceedings the media attention in those proceedings will subside, which she requests for the safety and well being of the children."
People is reporting the same thing:
"Recent aggressive actions by individuals who have followed (Spears) and blocked her access, with and without the children, have resulted in her decision to take certain security measures which she hopes will only be necessary temporarily, for the protection of the children," Sorrell Trope said in a statement Monday.No specifics were given on what those measures would be.
Aha. Brit is learning that you can't control the animal called fame. You can't poke it with a stick when you want attention, and then make it sit down and be good when you want privacy. She's spent all this time and effort actively wanting the media attention (even going so far as to alert the paps of where she is going) that she has created a bit of a monster.
In all fairness, I don't think it is all her fault. The media is obsessed with trainwrecks. To see someone soar as high as Brit did, and then to see her fall Icarus-like to earth in a flaming ball, is too irresistible not to report on. And I have to agree, after seeing video of the paparazzi swarming both her car and Brit herself, with and without kids, that certain people are just completely out of line. That's why they make the zoom lens, guys. I think I would have run over a few toes myself.
