A cameraman chasing Britney Spears last night is in critical condition this morning after he was hit by another cameraman. The accident occurred as Britney was leaving the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. As a caravan of paparazzi was turning onto Santa Monica Blvd., the victim–on a motorcycle and acting as an independent “spotter” for various photo agencies–was literally ran over by a silver Ranger Rover driven by a paparazzo working for the X17 agency. A source told That Other Blog:

“We were just informed the paparazzo is alive, but in critical condition. He suffered broken legs, broken arms and a broken back.” (Source)

Damn dude, Britney Spears is getting more and more dangerous to follow by the day. When she’s not hitting the paparazzi, the paparazzi are hitting each other. It’s like Iraq out there–they’re more “embedded” with her than they are following her. Obviously the next logical step is to start giving these guys medals for bravery, valor, or in the above case, injuries suffered while in the line of duty–the Purple Heart. Only the Britney Spears Purple Heart is made of pastries and has a cream-filled center. I just think it’s appropriate. And it has sprinkles. Can’t forget about those sprinkles.
