Ask A Question
Who's the paparazzi favorite?
Who gets photographed the most by the paparazzi?
—Marie, Charlotte, North Carolina
The B!tch Replies: Is this a real question? Because if it isn't, I have a ton of serious Vanessa Hudgens queries to answer over here. Besides, there's a lady that keeps writing in to ask if Gene Hackman has grandchildren, and every time I don't answer, she writes back sounding more and more apoplectic. I'm trying to see how long I can avoid the question before she spontaneously combusts.
You're still there, aren't you? Fine. Your answer? Britney Spears, okay? Can I go now?
"At any time, Britney has perhaps 30, 40, 50 photographers assigned to her night and day," says Frank Griffin, co-owner of the 'razzi agency Bauer-Griffin.
And if you had to ask "Who?" you probably need to have the "why" hand-delivered to you on a tasseled pillow. Very well: Given how lame the new season of Heroes is shaping up to be, the most entertaining prime-time pursuit these days is Britney's ongoing freefall from proto-Madonna to Someone Who Wishes She Were Debbie Gibson.
Britney has kindly gone about her nosedive in an almost episodic manner, allowing us to follow a neat course of self-destruction on a day-to-day basis. Britney, selflessly, also has provided her own illustrations for her tragedy. She has allowed photogs to document every hair-mangling, fedora-abusing, fast-food-wrangling, club-invading, judge-snubbing moment, creating a train wreck almost as addictive as Danny Bonaduce's self-medicating odyssey of ought-five.
Even a trip to the DMV can be plenty interesting if it's Britney going in there. (Did you see? Her hair was all sad and brown.)
"There is no doubt she's still the paparazzi's princess," says Paul Tetley of Splash News. "The demand is all about the troubles going on in her private life.
"She'll get a flat tire, or she had coffee thrown at her car over the weekend," he adds. "She makes for a great picture opportunity every time."
And until she does something truly shocking, like stay inside, drink water and eat fruit, she'll continue to be number one for shutterbugs everywhere.
