Paparazzi Spotter Seriously Injured While Chasing Britney Spears
It was just a matter of time.
According to That Other Blog, a paparazzi spotter (someone who rides behind the cars and tails the star, then tips off the paps on where they go) has been seriously injured while following Britney Spears:
An X17 paparazzi has just ran over another paparazzi on a motorcycle while chasing Britney Spears who had just come out of The Four Seasons Hotel. Our source tells us that this ocurred as the caravan of chasers were making a right turn on Santa Monica Blvd. and Rexford Dr. in Beverly Hills. The paparazzi was hit by a silver range rover and was literally smashed under its wheels. From what we hear, the body went into seizure and then it just stopped moving. It doesn’t look like he made it, according to our source.7:35 PM PT Update:
We were just informed the paparazzo is alive, but in critical condition. He suffered broken legs, broken arms and a broken back, according to our source.
This has gotten totally out of control. I'm not blaming Brit directly for this, because she is not the one who hit the guy. But like I've pointed out before, you can't court the press and then turn off the attention when you don't want it. In the past, Brit has either herself phoned in tips to where she is going to be or had one of her people do it for her, so that the paps could meet her there and create a photo-op. There are even rumors that a certain agency, whom she asks for by name constantly and who always has "EXCLUSIVES" on her stories, is actually on her payroll (although lately, I'm not so sure, and after all it is just a rumor).
