Paps Run Red in Chase for Britney

Several paparazzi ran the red light outside the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills last night in an effort to keep up with Britney Spears. Looks like running red lights is contagious.


In the video, the popwreck can be seen making a right turn out of the hotel and crossing 3rd Street. After the light turned red, several cars sped through the intersection anyway -- one as much as 10 seconds late!

It's only Britney, people. She'll be back again tomorrow. And the next day ...

62. i am sure she is not as bad as people make her out to be.If she didnot want her kids she probably wouldnot even bother to get them.She can't move out of california because she cant take her kids out of california,plus they will follow her every where.And she is not going to lock her self in her house all day,because whether she hides for a few days or not they will make a story out of it and follow her when she comes out of her house.and whether she drives or hires a driver she and her kids are in danger..ALL of this nonsense has to stop.LEAVE HER ALONE!!!why do we need to hear every time she goes to the bathroom,gets coffee or gets gas..I get gas and coffee is that a big deal no!!!

66. While this alone does not completely restore my respect for TMZ, it does establish a tiny bit of new respect. I am happy to see TMZ reporting a bit of the story behind the story and a bit of what goes on behind the camera and out of sight of the camera lens. As it is so often, the paparazzi behaving like packs of wild jackals chasing a story is more shocking than the story they are chasing. Hats off to TMZ for having the decency to show everyone what a great many citizens of L.A. city and county see everyday, paparazzi running amuck in an uncontrolled frenzy on the roadways with little regard for the law or public safety.

72. Britney is an alcoholic and a drug addict who is going to harm herself, her children or somebody else one of these days.

She belongs in an asylum, where she can get the help she needs.

73. LA Woman,

Thanks for the info. Yes, we do have a great public transportation system (which includes not only rail service but MANY buses and taxis on the road) in NYC. If you have ever been here, you know that the roads in Manhattan are packed in the midtown area (especially at this time of year with all of the tourists). The laws here are very strict - if you block an intersection, 2 points on your license. If you walk against the crosswalk sign, you get a ticket as a pedestrian. You can’t even pull over to the curb to let someone out of a car without a traffic cop immediately pulling up behind you. There are also traffic cops on foot at almost every major intersection. If there are dignitaries or celebrities in town (which is quite often), the security and crowd control is phenomenal. There would NEVER be these “Wild West” type of chases in NYC – that is why I find it so absurd that the paps are allowed to get away with this. I really don’t think public transportation (or lack of it) is the main problem ~~ I think that the governor or the local municipalities have to pass some laws (quickly) and actually enforce them ~~ it seems from where I sit the paps are allowed to just run wild. Oh, and we don’t only have traffic concerns in NYC, our police officers and law makers also deal with crime issues, etc.

74. I bet you won't see any of these paps having to go to court to explain their actions....now will you? Kinda seems one sided doesn't it?

75. #####46. Hopefully the police can get the plate numbers off those vehicles from the video, and charge the paps with reckless driving. Revoke their drivers licenses, since obviously they are a danger to everyone on the road.


All The Cars Are Rented,,,,,, by the Photo Agencys so if they Wreck ,Oh Well,,,

Most Dont even Have Drivers Licences or IDs

Since they get Payed As a Freelance Photographer ,the Agencys Dont Get Blamed On This Action.....
