Britney vs the Police: The Claws Come Out!
Filed under: Britney Spears
A Los Angeles county commissioner is attempting to pass new legislation - dubbed "Britney's law" - that aims to crack down on those paparazzi that are out of control..
Well, LAPD chief William Bratton thinks that's a crock of shit.
"What we need is Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town. That would solve the problem. We don't need additional laws…. I've got laws coming out my ears to deal with this issue.
What you have is several young women in this town and several young men basically making fools of themselves and tying up not only my resources but the resources of the media that would do better covering legitimate stories instead of a bunch of airheads running around out there….
Quite clearly some of these characters so favored by the paparazzi are clearly in need of services. Not police services, but psychiatric services.
We agree with the Chief - to a point.
Yes, these celebretards are partly to blame, but you gotta face the issues at hand. Though we wish they would, they aren't gonna get all boring and stay home. They live for the attention and you gotta deal with it.

first or not…
ok.. i used to liuke briney and then i think she got herself into this and now i wonder if i thought wrong.. is she who she used to be or not anymore
go wey me?
Britney oh britney
when are you going to stop with the paps
kk fed wants you to have your kids back yet you dont want them
you getting marrried in mexico.. man.. what r u thinking. do u want to go through what you did with kfed? dumb girl
First !!!!
She needs to stay a fuck home!
You go Chief. He's right!
1st!!!
GO OBAMA! Go obama!!!!!!
OBAMA 2008
Oh my gosh people. Stop talking about me like that. I am not like that. So what if I did get married in Mexico. I married a nice guy. Unlike kfed, he actually cares. So come on people, dont be hating..
um - not just that they want the attention but this man can not ask that Brittney become a recluse!!!! That's unfair to her, her family, and her friends. Just because she is famous, does not mean she needs to stay at home because crazy psycho paps choose to follow her all day long.
i TOTALLY agree with the chief…. can we lock her away under some rock forever…. there a law against that?
OBAMA BABE!!!
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
YA I AGREE BUT STiLL……GiVE HER SOME SPACE. I MEAN DAMN THOSE PAPS R CRAZY!
what a fucked up thing for the police chief to say. sure, a lot of them love the attention, but the attention (especially by the hundreds of paparazzi that follow britney around) is largely at blame for driving these celebrities to do insane shit.
That's bullshit. the paps are out of control. They stalk her. Should she be locked up in her house? That would make them even more crazy. The would just lurk outside waiting for a snap.
what the hell does "first" mean?
Why does it have to be me
It's not only that they are craving attention. Celebrities can't be expected to just sit at home all day. Everyone goes out, grocery shopping, clothes shopping, shoe shoppings, partying. Everyone does it! Not just celebs. Just because they are known all over the world for their singing, acting, dancing whatever, that shouldn't mean the paparazzi get to be in their faces with cameras, yell shit at them to get a reaction, or even just block their cars from moving. I agree the law should be passed.
I wish they would stay home
I'm so proud of her getting it together, she doesn't need some pig to try and bring her down.
How would he like to be told to stay home all of the time. She goes out maybe for attention, but she shouldn't be held up at home never to be seen. She's human. No one likes to be cooped up all of the time. The paps have incredible cameras, can't they just shoot from afar?
A law wouldn't hurt. It is getting crazy, but having celebs stay home to solve the issue takes away from thier freedom. Easy for a jelly eating pig to say. Here is a thought, get off your fat a@# and do your job.
These jerk-offs go to the same 5 places, where they know the paps will be. I'm guessing in a city as big as L.A.,there are plenty of other places to go. Bratten is right. If you DON'T want to be seen,you won't.
theres no way to fight the paparazzi
To William Bratton: WORD.
That shit should be available somewhere stitched on a pillow.
The world would be such a better place if these young stars were not so out of control. I agree 110% of the officer.
Brit Brit needs to stay home, for our sake, and her own! She needs to get better, so we can enjoy her music again, and not laugh at her for being a complete moron and taking off her clothes in a mall!
What the hell has happened to our world…..and I am just as bad for reading this shit.
Re: maria –
read it like it is darling. first means first.. not second or third but first.. got it sweeti.. good
perez hilton you rock my gay world…
Starved for attention…yes…
Using up public resources….yes…
Paying HUGE tax dollars as a result of their big ass properties?
Also yes. The way I see it, they are paying their own way with their tax dollars.
And really, should you be forced into being a hermit because the police don't want to do the job they are paid to do?
BLAH
thats complete bullshit
1st!!
PEREZ POSH SPICE IS PREGGERS.SOMEONE FROM A DC RADIO STATION HEARD SHE WAS'NT DANCING CAUSE SHE IS PREGGERS WHY ARE'NT YOU REPORTING THIS CALL HOT 99.5 IN DC THEY ALREADY ARE BREAKING IT
That Chief is a crock of SHIT!!! What we really have here is a bunch of individuals (IDIOTS) who can't make a real living and constantly infringe on the civil rights of these celebrities and invade their personal space and make it difficult for them to live their own lives without being hounded all the time!!! Why should Britney or any other celebrity out there be forced to stay at home just because they are followed everywhere they go by these FOOLS! That makes me sooo mad for him, YOU Perez or anyone else to say they should just stay at home, that's obserd!! They have every right to go out in public and go shopping and live thier lives just like you and I!! Mr. Police Chief you need to have some compassion! Sure Brittany has been a little on the excessive side but she has a serious diagnosed problem that she is finally getting help for thank GOD! She is not out like she was but that has not stopped these morons from stalking her and that is exactly what they are doing!!! Which is btw AGAINST THE LAW!!!!!!
that's awful to expect someone to just sit at home. they can try to live their lives, too. going to starbucks is not asking for attention and it doesn't make them airheads.
Itch*** NEEDS TO STAY HER CRAZY A** HOME.
Regardless if the celebs want to go out or not, it is their RIGHT. I agree as well to a point, that Britney is NEVER at home, and if she would just stay home a bit, it would help. But she also has the right to shop whenever she wants, she has the right to go out to dinner. The paparazzi indanger not only the celebs, but the locals of due to the highspeed chases, blocking traffic and disrupting every store/restaurant they flock to. It should have been illegal a long time ago.
They do live for the attention and since that's their problem then I say let THEM deal with the majority of the repercussions. He hit it right on the mark. It's not like they are harassing her as she goes to the studio. This bitch goes gas station and rite aid hopping. Fuck that.
Re: Britney –
whatever.
britney needs to grow up or somethin?
I'm all for this law! It would push even a stable person over the edge being followed like they follow Britt. That being said. She does sort of ask for it….she doesnt have to go out 20 times a day for frapps and cheetos, smokes and redbulls. Its called an assistant….get one Britt.
haha Chief said it best!
I agree completely with the police. It is not fair to use tax dollars to help some cunt who can't stay home and watch tv a couple of nights a week. Real people with real issues need the services of the police, not talentless, attention-whoring unfit parents.
The chief says it all quite precisely, completely, and succinctly. He need to be put in charge of the "team of handlers" handling Britney. Put him in charge. He'll tear that ass up. Good & proper down home Louisiana discipline. Take her out behind the wood shed and TEAR THAT ASS UP…!!!
I agree, LOL that he stated the truth so baldly. I think she should not be allowed to manipulate police services, the court, or any other agency paid by the taxpayers. If people don't like Unfitney, just ignore her, avoid her, and let her keep on raving and raunching. She's a sicko and is aging rapidly. Sooner or later everyone will find a more interesting target.
No Perez. It should be They live for the attention and they should have to deal with it themselves. It's not the police's job to accompany twats like Britney to starbucks and rite aid. If she wants to go there, she should hire her own bodyguards. The police should be protecting average citizens, not stupid bitches who go out to get their picture taken by the paps on purpose. If Britney wants to court the attention, she should deal with the consequences and if that means threats to her safety, she should stay the hell home, not expect everyone else to accommodate her.
I love it! He spoke his mind, told them basically that that law was just some lame attempt to make the public think the county commissioner is actually making a damn difference. Way to go Chief!

um im sorry isn't hollywood part of the united states of americs, yeah thats what i thought. So now people have to stay home instead of the police doing their jobs to make sure irratic and unsafe drivers are not following this girl. I mean is he serious. Britney does command alot of attention but i have seen tape after tape and these people are fricken obnoxious, BOO YOU POPO
hey bitch,,, ztay home…the lazt thing thiz country needz/////
iz more effen lawz…we already lozt our rightz..now y'r cauzing
more lawz…how about put zome fucking energy into getting
or at leazt zeeing your kidzz..U fuck..U make me fucking zick.
Huh? What a freaking idiot. There are so many celebs stalked by the paparazzi that aren't "airheads". So everyone needs to stay inside now? How about you protect your people in the city and do something about the paparazzi stalkers? That's the most retarded thing I have ever heard. Apparently they need a new LAPD chief who can actually do his job.
If that is how you feel about it Perez, then they also need to pay for their own security … and not call the cops for help. It's a waste of taxpayer money to protect these morons. I wish the paparrazi would stop following her. Do we REALLY need to know what Britney, Lindsey, etc. are doing every moment of the day???? It's ridiculous.
Ok this is so fucking stupid!!!!!
Why the fuck should they stay at home if the want to go to the fucking store to get someting, like a coffee or some gas(LIKE WE ALL DO) why should they not be allowed!!!!!
Blaming what the paparazzi does on a Britney Spears is fucking horse shit!!!!!! The on ones to blame are the paparazzi but then again its there job like everyone else, maybe who is to blame are the mag's, shows and blogger sites that are using the stupid pictures.
If i was Britney i would get the worlds best team of Laweys together and start sturring up some shit, for comments made by the cheif of police, she is a human and has her right of freedom like everyone else????
or are Celebrities hostages of there own home????? if so just thow them all in a big or concentration camp and let them out when need be!!!!!
It's not up to the police to tell people how to live their lives– I recall something about PROTECTING and SERVING? Just because someone's got a greater net worth than you and a lesser common sense doesn't mean they're no longer deserving of the same legal services as another. Should doctors stop treating OD-ing addicts because they did it to themselves?
I don't really agree with the Chief….I mean, come on, it's Hollywood! There will always be celebrities around. I think they need some serious laws about the paparazzi…they are out of control, and scum of the earth. Britney's definitely got issues of her own, but I do think the constant hounding by the paparazzi definitely contributed to her downfall.
Um….NO WE DON'T! These celeBRATards (Brit, Lohan, Paris) think their sh*t don't stink and people eat it up. GROSS. We have laws. I agree the stalking outside homes and in stores are out of control. But, just b/c a celeb is "addicted" to attention doesn't mean you make laws to protect THEM!
They already are boring. That's why they are running around town and flashing their genitalia to paparazzi. It's the only way they can get attention. However, their mental illness is their problem and I am sick of our law enforcement being tied up with this crap. And for the politicos who are also attention whores suggesting that we create special laws for them is nuts.
I've gotten to the point that I am looking for one of these celebrity bimbos to finally kill themselves. Maybe, the rest will take a hint and stop making life miserable for the police and citizens just trying to get to and from their jobs.
Get the Britney law, the f-ing paparazzis crosses the line ALL THE TIME. And theres nothing stopping those a-holes. What the fcuk???!!! Is Britney and all the other celebs supposted to sit at home ’cause the paparazzis cant get a normal job and stop harassing people???!! God I hate them. OH SO THE CHIEF GOT LAWS COMING OUT OF HIS EARS??? STICK 'EM UP YO ASS 'CAUSE WE AINT SEEN SHIT
You can't force people to just stay at home all the time cause their famous.I mean yes, the obviously take it too far, but you can't expect everyone to just stop going out. That's stupid.
Britney is costing the people of Calif. more tax money than realized.
She's an attention whore, what person goes out everytime their hungry or wants a cup of coffee?
Go freakin grocery shopping Britney!
Buy a coffee machine!
/
I can't imagine sitting here thinking, I'd like some coffee, lets go!
Never mind, knowing you'll be followed.
/
She could prevent all this, she just dosent want to……
It's all she's got.
The chief is absolutely right. Why should the taxpayers fund personal protection services for these celebretards? These "kids" aren't actors or singers in the real sense. Perez, you say it best. What they do they do for publicity-seeking purposes … PERIOD.
" They live for the attention and you gotta deal with it."
______________________________________________________
PLEASE. Get Real, Mario.
What the police are saying is correct.
People who need the kind of attention that takes away from precious community resources NEED PSYCHIATRIC CARE.
There are a few nut jobs out there who don't care that the police would be better served saving victims from violent crimes….and they need serious interventions.
Kinda like you using your 'entertainment blog' to post pics of yourself with 'celebrities.'
A law DEFINITELY needs to be passed….this problem is getting out of hand and we need to try and at least slow their process down
I'm fine with less celebrity news…but if its offered(like this site), sure, I'll take it
To be honest I see what this guy is saying but it sounds like he's got a major problem with these celebrities. If he has such issues with them then shouldn't he be chief in some other state where theres less celebrities seeking less attention? I don't completely agree with the way some of these famewhores go about getting the public's attention but at the end of the day it is part of their jobs to be in the public eye and in the papers, maybe this guy should stick to doing HIS job and stop making mean comments about people he doesn't even know.
Re: hammer girl – Britney should be in a large comfortable cage in a straight jacket. With all the amenities. Some one to feed her, someone to change her diaper. By her own crazy, out-of-control behavior, drug use, sexual promiscuity, head-shaving, snatch-showing, gash-flashing, and all around irresponsible behavior—she has proven she is a danger to herself and others. She should NOT be on the streets. On the contrary, she should be institutionalized until herslf destructive multi-personality issues can be neutralized. Preferably by lobotomy. Just like Frances Farmer and the wild Kennedy daughter.
Re: Devin – It's their job to protect and serve EVERYBODY. Not just people with money or celebrity bimbos which they can't do because they waste too much time with the daily Britney Bimbo Eruption.
I hate paparazzi….they should seriously lock all of them up. They'll do anything, including putting a person's life in danger, to get a fricking picture. The police need to do their job, not try to pass blame.
Why should Britney be forced to stay home just because she is a celebrity? I'm not a fan, but good God. I wouldn't want to be trapped in the house all the time.
This guys a dick! Look at what happened to Princess Diana…shes certainly no air head that was parading around. These celebs are being stalked for christs sakes. They are only human like all of us! Give them a break and cut them some slack…if they choose to go out for dinner they shoudl be able to without being blinded by flashbulbs and swarmed by a flock of paps….. Ick it makes me ill!
Re: Erin –
.
But why is it we ALWAYS read about BRINEY?
Where's Paul Newman, Julia Roberts, ect…..
It's Britney herself, she's her own biggest problem.
just because the chief can't keep his city in order, doesn't mean he should have a say in how other's, mental or not, choose to live their lives. she's not going to "just stay at home", or should she have to. laws against how the paparazzi go about attaining their images need to be strictly enforced and it's his job to make sure it's done so.
If he doesn't want to deal with these types of "laws" or issues let him move to Utah, and get out of Los F-ing Angeles.
Do you really think it is fair to stay home locked uop in your house and have to live this way just because the press can not learn to do the job in a proffesional and respectfull way. Nobody should have to live alife like this,locked behind the doors of their home just to be isolated to have peace .
The press will still be out doing it to another individual,so yes a law should be passed and maybe if this law had come earlier Princess Diana would still be alive
HERE'S AN IDEA BRITNEY:
MAKE A LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED: I.E. FOOD, BATH PRODUCTS, CLEANING PRODUCTS, "COFFEE", TAMPONS,
.
GO TO THE MARKET ONCE A MONTH!!!!!!!!!!
COOK FOR YOURSELF, OR HAVE FOOD DELIVERED.
.
STOP THE ATTENTION WHORING.
He should be fired for those remarks. Britney and whoever else should be able to live their lives and go and shop and do what they want to do without being mobbed by photogs. To punish her and make her stay at home for just being a celebrity is stupid. There should be a law that the photogs have to stay a certain distance, dont most cameras have a zoom option nowadays?
If she has a mental illness, then she needs the help that she has been getting. She has been looking better already. But to expect her to not live her life and just stay in the house is total bullshit. It's not even realistic as she is not a shut-in. I think that the paparazzi should have some more limits though. How would u feel if u were followed 24/7?
are you serious? celebrities should stay home? UM how about the paparazzi can't follow her. CRAZY CONCEPT.
I think that it is bullshit. If those paps can afford a decent camera they can afford a telephoto lens. First and foremost, you ability to drive your car, walk on a sidewalk, and live normally should not be obstructed.
He doesn't want it passed because they will have to do more work. If there are laws that help with it already then why aren't they doing more. Seriously… if it were normal Americans doing that they have us slammed on a sidewalk and getting f^&&*( up. People shouldn't have to be held up in their houses because of the freaking paps. You aren't fixing the issue. Your telling people to go into hiding so you don't have to deal with it.
I think in Brittney's case she does need to stay home more often & lay low for a while!!! But there's no way any person can just stay the hell home because the police don't want to deal with this problem. She has the right to go out just like everyone else, it's just ashame what she has to go through for simple trips out of the house!!!
HAHAHAHAHA britneys law… HAHAHAHA what a good one
can it read that she has to wash her hair before she can make her starbucks runs and rite aid shopping expeditions.. ?
I don't hink it solves the problem.. 'Cause if she is staying home, lets say, 3 times a week, the other 4 days, the paps will be following here that 4 days..
Not a good idea, i think
Even tho some celebs do go out for the attention, they can't be expected to just stay locked up inside their homes. Everyone goes out, grocery shopping, clothes shopping, shoe shopping, partying. Everyone does that! So why when celebs do it is it any different. And of course by being a singer, actor, dancer, w/e u r putting urself in the public eye, but u should not have to deal with the paparazzi shoving cameras in ur face, yelling shit at u to get a reaction, or blocking ur car. I think the law should be passed.
Also, um, it's kind of their right to move about as they please. I know how much the LAPD likes to "crack down", but the "Chief" has completely missed the boat on this one.
She can't stay home all the time.
That's stupid, so she's not supposed to leave her house anymore. I can understand being annoyed but she's allowed to have a life and go outside.
He is absolutely right. I don't want my tax dollars wasted on "protecting" celebutards that want to go out to drug stores in the middle of the night or starbucks or any other fucking place. Especially when thousands of dollars are being wasted that are needed for more essential things. I don't blame him for being pissed. I do think that there should be some boundaries that should be in place for "those celebrities that don't go out there whoring themselves to the press and then bitching about not have privacy". And it's not a matter of "staying home bored out your mind" not all attention seekers run around looking for that kind of attention. Many many many of them lead pretty normal lives considering there fame status. Look at Brangelina, Madonna, JLo……argueably some of the must famous celebrities do we have a brigade of police protecting them. NO CUZ THEY AREN'T OUT THERE WHORING THEMSELVE. Go somewhere for a month or two, be low key for a bit, have some normality in your life. BASICALLY "BITCH SIT THE FUCK DOWN"
have a great day all from snowy NYC
bull! if people were stalking me around town taking photographs of me, I would expect the cops to be at least sympathetic. I don't care WHAT celebrities are doing in their spare time, everyone deserves to be able to walk down the street without getting attacked by strangers with cameras trying to take pictures up your dress. It's about time the cops started doing their jobs and protect the public from this kind of abuse.
right on chief!!!
I agree with the Chief completely.
Just because a celebrity is an insecure, attention seeker who can't keep on the down-low, does not mean that laws should be made to accommodate THEM and their neurosis'. If suddenly they tire of the monster they have created, then they should move to a less paparazzi-filled town. People like Britney Spears demand this attention and then complain about the Hell they have created for themselves. Britney Spears, you wanted it, well, then-you've got it. Don't crave it anymore? Then don't eat lunch at the Ivy and do not shop on Roberston Blvd. It's as simple as that and good for the Chief for calling BullSht on spoiled brats like Ms. Spears. Spears should take a cue from celebs like Madonna and others who value their privacy and take positive measures to ensure it.
excuses, excuses.
That's dumb. So Britney is just supposed to stay at home and that's going to make everything better??? Yes maybe she sometimes takes unnecessary trips to Rite Aid but she has a right to go where ever she pleases. What about the celebrities that aren't driving around town trying to get attention and are still being chased by paparazzi??? The ones that are out with their families, the ones who are food shopping and just being normal people. It's just gotten way out of hand.
The paparazzi are the scum of the media but idiots like Britney feed them. She'd be doing all of us a favor if she stayed indoors!
Ok although I think Brit's a twit, and brings alot of her drama on herself, I think the copper running his mouth up above is a jerk too. The paps are out of control, they just don't "stalk" the Brit's of the world they are in ALL celebs faces, driving dangerously, jumping around in traffic. Excluding Brit from the equation (like I said she brings it on herself), Celebs are people and should be able to go out and do their shopping or whatever without some freak crawling up their ass with a camera.
No, I agree celebrities need protection too. DO YOU REMEMBER HOW PRINCESS DIANA DIED?
ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRYING TO TELL ME THAT THIS GUY THINKS BRITNEY SPEARS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO GET OUT OF HER HOUSE ANYMORE???
IS THIS ASS KIDDING ME???????
WHAT A LAAAME LOSER AND MOTHERF*CKER!
Well, then how does he explain the papz on private property, in a gated community filming Britney in her undies, through her bedroom window? The video was posted on another site and then they promptly removed due to public outcry and/or people calling the police, advertisers etc. Britney wasn't prancing around town then. She was in the privacy of her own home. The papz are just way out of control. It's too much now.
Amen to the Chief.
First you loose all jobs to the Japs, then you sell your proprty to the arabs.
Now you cant take care of your celebritys?
It´s fine if they move over here and take the music and movie indusry with them.
Then your polischef will have a calm LA to ride around in with millions of unemployed americans! Way to go, idiots!
Chief is right. About time too. If ordinary people broke as many traffic laws, constantly engaged in flashing our nether parts, tried on clothes naked in a store–that's NOT just "attention hungry" — she should have been arrested. Many times. And any "celeb" who alerts paps as to their whereabouts should automaticaly forfeit protection and possibly be liable for public nuisance.
Hey Rick #49, you really really like using that f-word, dontcha? Try using some civilized language to convey your point of view. You really sound like a dumpster diver with twisted panties.
what she's not supposed to leave her house ever. she cant have s life because she's famous. thats nuts. get off your fat cop ass and stop complaining.
I'm so bloody sick of hearing that Spears deserves to travel paparazzi-free.
If Britney Spears kept her mouth shut and her panties on inthe presence of the paps, the paps would be a helluva lot less interested in her. End of story.
YOU AND THAT FUCKFACED LOHAN/BLOWHAND. STAY THE FUCK
HID, NO ONE WANTS TO KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. WE ALL WISHED
YOU WERE 6 FEET UNDER.
YOU DO HAVE KIDS ASSFUCKER, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM FOR
ONCE IN YOUR SPOILED UGLY RATNEST FUCKING AIRPLANE LANDING ON YOUR FOREHEAD..DAMN YOUR FUCKING UGLY.
so britney is not allowed to have the normal freedoms the rest of us have? thats fucked up. she doesn't make the best decisions, but then neither do I. still she should be allowed to go place if she wants…….
This is all of our fault, we want to see what britney and celebs are doing at all times. yes some chose that career, but they should still be able to go out, shop around, not doing anything of real importance whenever they want, just as no-celebs such as you and I can do on a daily basis in peace.
He's absolutely right! Now, I agree the police need to help protect the public from what's going on, b/c it's going to keep going on - but he has every right to be pissed off that it has to be dealt with at all. Britney and the rest are fucking idiots in need of constant attention….they thrive on the pap, the live for it, and they don't give a shit what it's doing to the public. If Britney Spears (or Linday Lohan for that matter) stayed home, what the hell would she do with herself? She doesn't know how to function as a normal person outside of the public eye. It's pathetic.
