TMZ Photog to Brit -- Remove Tire from Foot

Posted Oct 19th 2007 9:15AM by TMZ Staff

Britney Spears got intimate with a TMZ photog yesterday -- she ran over his foot!

It happened -- ironically -- as Spears was leaving a Bev Hills medical building.

With one hand attempting to cover her freshly acquired Jolie-esque lips, Spears attempted to exit the parking lot in her Pumpkinmobile while using her other hand to steer. As she tried to make a quick left, with paparazzi by her side, Spears' tire ran over our sandal-wearing photog's foot. Spears stopped the car, trapping our guy for what must have seemed like 4 hours. Ouch!

Spears looked shocked once she realized what she'd done ... but didn't get out of the car to see if he was okay. Our photog went to the emergency room and fortunately, nothing was broken. But, in tire terms, it has not been a very Goodyear for our guy. It's rough out there!

Tune in tonight to TMZ TV to see how it all went down -- and Britney's reaction!

1. Maybe next time they will not swarm all over her car while she attempts to drive...don't blame that on the trainwrecked Brit...blame that on the fool who was standing too close to her car....IDIOTS.

2. for once i actually feel i need to side with brit brit on this one...if the paps would back off a teeny tiny bit this wouldn't have happened. I hope the pap makes a full recovery but think of "normal" life and what you would do if a crowd of people surrounded your car and would not move...scary

5. I don't see how she drives with all the cameras stuck in her face and the flash's
popping off. Gee back off.

6. Well I know and it will be all her fault...... It is about time they get the hell out of her way and let her be. Just more money Britney has to spend and it wasn't her fault. If you don't want to get run over then stay out of the way! I bet that pap was smiling all the time that tire was on his foot. Should have been on his brain.

7. Good for him. I wish she had broke it. If my car was swarmed like that I would seriously just plow right through. I just don't understand why she even bothers to drive. Can't she afford to hire someone or get things delivered to the house?

8. I think the law should revise the pap laws. I'm not a Britney fan but I truely can see why some celebs have breakdowns. The paps take away celeb's freedom and right to live a normal life. They often destroy a person's whole being and make of it what they want.

I say OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!

10. The Paparazzi need to back off when people are driving their cars. Anything can happen just like this story.

11. Britney must be an easy going person, with all the paps she has to put up
with, she is usually very polite unlike some of the other stars.
Back off paps give her a BREAK.

definately the paps fault...

hiring someone, means someone else to tattle on her in her books
delivery?! but that means she can't go out and get her pics taken daily! not gonna happen.. she probably still come out despite the new asinine lip job.

14. That guy got his foot run over because he was too damned close to her car. If I had 50 people surrounding my car at all times taking video and popping flashes in my face I'd probably hit things and run things over, too. Get out of her way!
