Britney: “No Papparazzo, No Britney…”

by Gilad on October 2nd, 2007

The most recent Britney Spears rumor on the net is that since Britney fired her manager/PR person and took over the duty herself, she has been showing up only to places where the papparazzo is already waiting. In fact, she is (supposedly) calling places ahead of time just to ask if the papparazzo is there and then calls some of her favorite agencies to let them know where she will actually be. As the Chicago Sun-Times reported writes:

Spears or one of her posse members makes daily calls to all the hotels — as well as various popular restaurants, nightclubs and upscale boutiques — to “find out what’s going on … who’s there today,” her ex-aide told me Saturday night.”

Sources at both the Four Seasons and Beverly Wilshire told me the singer and actress often calls the hotels herself, asking “What press junkets are going on today?” — to determine if stars will be present, to guarantee the paparazzi will be lurking outside.

Sometimes, Spears’ approach backfires. A harried staffer at the Four Seasons told me she purposely told the entertainer “we were holding a [press] junket here for ‘Rendition,’ ” starring Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, who allegedly have been having a fling. In fact, those interviews took place Friday at the Beverly Wilshire, so when Spears arrived at the Four Seasons, there were no paparazzi to be seen.

“Britney walked in the front door and immediately turned on her heel, walked out and got back in her car and took off in a huff,” said my source, with a laugh.

That may explain the reasoning by the sea of photogs always around this girl.
