Report: Spears 'works with paparazzi'

Britney Spears works alongside the paparazzi in order to stage the footage that she wants covered, according to reports.

The troubled singer allegedly texts a number of photographers that are waiting outside her house to give them time to prepare to snap her when she leaves.

Photographer Alison Silva even claimed that Spears sent a message to one paparazzo after four of them were arrested for chasing her last week.

Silva said: "Britney is in on it. She calls the paparazzi before she goes out. We know 15 minutes before she leaves the house. It's all staged.

"One of them told me that Britney sent him a text message and said she was sorry. She tried to talk the cops into not arresting them. Money, fame, the excitement. It's part of her life."
