Britney's Bookstore Hysteria

Britney Spears caused chaos in the most unlikely of places last night -- a bookstore! No, she wasn't picking up the latest additions to the bestseller list -- she was just gettin' her coffee on.



Barnes and Noble has a Starbucks, y'all! And as the percolated popwreck weaved through aisles of books, paparazzi literally jumped out at every turn, causing utter insanity inside the usually quiet location. Apparently, Barnes and Noble has no issue with paps running amok through their aisles!

Brit took refuge in the Starbucks kitchen and hid in the bathroom until her order was ready. It took eight, yes eight, LAPD officers to escort her safely to her car -- now there's taxpayer money put to good use! Britney, shockingly, purchased no books.

46. The paps have a job to do and we all support it because we are here looking at the pictures and videos..if there wasn't an outlet for the pap's footage, they would become obsolete..having said that..Britney knows what will happen when she goes out into public...she knows that it will be chaos and she likes it, that's why she continues to move about the way she does...she should take a cue from Kevin and stay home until everything settles down and the custody thing is over with...

47. Yes, the paps act like they are on a feeding frenzy. Out of control.
Yes, Britney should be able to go where she wants.
BUT, she knows she's stepping into the middle of a feeding frenzy when she really doesn't have to.
What would a normal person do? Probably have someone else go in and get the unnecessary frap! She's done it other times when it suited her--stayed in the car and covered her face while scuzzy Sam ran her errands or pumped her gas.
She doesn't HAVE to wade into the crowd of paps if she doesn't want to. But she loves it. In whatever sick way, it makes her feel important. "Oh, look at me! Getting all this attention!" Of course she doesn't care about the "little people" getting pushed and shoved out of the way by the paps, cuz she's "Britney, bitch" . Doesn't care about the possibility someone will get hurt.
It's been said a thousand times on here that she could buy a coffee maker. Right now she lives in a hotel and could order room service, even pay someone to go to Starbucks for her. No one will argue that the paps are acting like wild animals and are a menace. But who in their right mind would keep wading into that crowd if they didn't have to? It's obvious that she likes it, so stop whining about leaving her alone. It's what she wants, whether we understand that or not.

48. Both Brittney and the paparazzi are to blame for this. The paps need to BACK OFF and give this girl some room. If she is going to go out in public, then she needs to take a shower, wash her hair, put on some clean clothes, etc., or just let someone NOT famous go in and get her stuff for her a couple times. I wish the paps would just leave her alone altogether, but somehow I bet she would find a way to be photographed again. The good news is, ten years from now, no one will give a rat's furry butt about her anymore and some wont even remember her. Britt, better enjoy this while you can. Oh, and I would also put some cash in savings NOW, unless you want to be broke and homeless in 10-20 years.

49. If she makes her own money should she not be entitiled to spend it any way she wants? She has the right, as we all do, to go wherever we want, whenever we want. After all she keeps up two kids and an ex, GayFed. so if she wants to buy coffee, tacos, dildos or whatever she has that right. Got to love............

50. If this imbecile insists on going to get coffee where she knows damn well she's going to cause a scene she should get tinted windows and have Sam the Enabler go buy her coffee. She LOVES the attention, that's why she doesn't do what any other NORMAL "celeb" would. She's the biggest dumbass in L.A.

52. TMZ, GET A REAL JOB. YOUR PEEPING TOM ACT WITH BRITNEY AND OTHERS AIN'T A REAL GIG. THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN THE CELEBS YOU GOSSIP ABOUT IS YOUR SMUG, STUPID ATTITUDE AND YOUR SMART-ASS, KNOW-NOTHING INFERIOR SCRIPT YOU ATTEMPT TO PEN ABOUT THEM. MAYBE YOU CAN SECURE WORK BY WRITING TODAY'S SPECIALS FOR LAST WEEK'S FISH MARKET AT TOMORROW'S PRICES. THEN EVERYBODY CAN GET A WHIFF OF YOUR JIF.

53. I haven't seen a pic of her getting coffee in a few weeks. So no, she doesn't need a daily fix, or maybe she is sending someone out for it more often now.

BTW, that story and statement,
"she calls the paps" is a crock... Iv said it before and I will say it again the bald hair cut fetched over 100k every one and their MOTHER in hollywood with a camera wants that money shot. Many...many celebrities call the paps, when they are not in the rag- mags daily, so, they will call when going out to a club, sometimes the paps dont even show up, so the celebrity tells them something BIG will happen..This is the reason Britney can not defend herself against this rumor, no celebrity can defend themselves in regards to calling the paps and the media knows it.

She has not had to do that for some time now,maybe before the baldy but definitly hasn't had to call anyone,after the bald haircut....over 100k...for one photo is plenty of incentive to show up and take a photo. They wait outside her house and follow her and taunt her to mess up all the time. BTW.. she goes to hotels to get privacy, she can be social, mingle, eat, swim and workout all in peace and normalcy away from the stalkerazzi. She feels safe because she has security there as well to protect her from real stalkers. She does not want or trust body gaurds now so its a temporary fix to her bad media attention and lack of security.

With all due respect, I can see where you believe that Britney is a "wasteful person with money and has no respect for it".

My only comment (and it is not a snide comment, either), is that it really is her money. She has apparently sold her soul and sanity for it, so I suppose she's entitled to do with it as she will.

55. Kevin should stay home and take care of the kids. It's not like he has a job that requires him to put on his big boy pants and work. We've seen pictures of his mammy taking care of his two kids, never him.

56. Why are you people b*tching at her for going to get coffee? She can if she wants. She is not creating the scene, it's the paps like TMZ that are causing the scene. She didn't waster taxpayers money, the paps did. She isn't to blame for running over someones foot, it's the freaking pap that was too close to a moving vehicle.

Lay off of her and it would be amazing how many scenes she doesn't cause, how many red lights aren't ran, how many people aren't having their foot ran over.

You freaking paps deserve to have someone stalk you like you do to others. This isn't news - it's harrassment.

57. I'm sure Starbucks would deliver to her.

58. Why can't this person go into any establishment she chooses ? So many posters make it sound as she has no right to, or that its simply an attempt to get attention. Since when is getting a cup of coffee a cry for attention ? TMZ as well as all the idiot Paparazzi are the ones who sensationalize her every move. Give the woman a break and some breathing room and you may find she is more like you than you think. No better or worse.

59. Britney and Sam Lufti, her manager obviously hunger for the attention and get high off the frenzy of the paparazzi every time they go out to such public places for coffee, constantly gong to public bathrooms, Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and the list goes on. Everyone keeps blaming the paps and the media for this insane constant fiasco that occurs every time Britney goes out, but please some of you other fellow people commenting --wake up and smell the coffee she constantly seeks. The constant publicity brings in more and more MONEY.

60. READ THIS IT'S HYSTERICAL!!! SHE IS SUCH A PRIMADONNA!!!

Erratic Britney Spears has been accused of shoplifting a wig just hours after stripping down to try on a pair of briefs in an adult store in Los Angeles.
It is alleged that after an altercation with staff, the troubled singer snatched a wig off a mannequin and left without paying for it.
The incident happened in the adult shop Hustler shortly before 1am on 18 November, the American magazine Us Weekly is reporting.
It also says that while in the store Spears, 25, picked up some saucy knickers and headed for the changing rooms.
But, much to her disgust, she was told by store employees that she could not try them on.
A source at the store, in West Hollywood, told the magazine: "They told her they don't allow people to try on underwear and she was really upset."
At that point the singer's behaviour allegedly took a turn for the worse. She decided to take off her own underwear - in the middle of the shop floor - before trying on a pair of pants with 'Barely Legal' stitched across the rear.
Fifteen other customers looked on in shock at the mother-of-two's antics. One witness told Us Weekly: "The employees said, 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room!' It was just like dealing with a child."
Spears's tantrum continued. "The staff told her she had to pay, and she rolled her eyes, but paid with a credit card," the source went on. But on the way out Spears allegedly went up to a mannequin, snatched its wig, and stole it.
