Britney: Wicker, We Hardly Knew Her!

61. Oh, Q, you're so smart. Since you know they BOUGHT the pic, how much did they pay for it? Let's see...they paid a photog to sit in a tree and stalk a baby shower, just a guy from another agency not their own guy. Pretty much the same thing, don't ya think? But, yeah, thanks for setting us dummies straight on the payroll end of how it all works.

63. You know, TMZ...the Spears family does NOT live in a rathole. Your insistence on contextualizing their Kentwood home as some sort of redneck barn is frankly on a level with a ten year old boy telling fart jokes--immarture. Most Americans live normal, everyday lives. And that family residence is anything but ordinary--it's a virtual palace compared to many American homes. Lay off the "trailer trash" talk, already.

64. Jules you obviously have no idea about how new media works. Blogs like TMZ and Perez don't pay these agencies like they pay their own employees. No hourly rates or salaries. These agencies post the pics on their websites and you can buy them for a flat rate. That is why u see TMZ and Perez naming who they got their pic from, b/c it's apart of their agreement. Welcome to 2008 lame-ass.

65. wow there are some real haters on here today

Posted at 2:33PM on May 4th 2008 by As I said....

66. what's really interesting, is that, even though everyone here seems to be scolding the paps for invading such a personal event...they are all on this website, looking at the picture and reading the story...hmmm. supply and demand. if there weren't a demand for these pics and stories there would be no reason to supply them. give that a run through your brain.

Okay, like I said they PAID an agency, not their own employee! Either way, they PAY for the picture.

I never mentioned anything about hourly rates or flat fees. Either way, they PAID for the picture.

Now, do you disagree with the fact that they PAID for the picture? And since you know all about it, why didn't you answer my question. I'll ask again...How much did they pay for it?

So far you've called me a dummy and a lameass...and you're doing nothing but arguing my point that they paid a guy to sit in a tree and stalk the shower. Who cares if they paid their own guy by the hour or if they paid an agency a flat fee. It's the same thing in end.

I'll refrain from calling you any names, but I do wonder if you are anal retentive.

70. Just another Hypocrite: Great point... I think it's all comedy. If folks take this stuff too seriously, then they seriously need a hobby. Celebs know the game they're getting in. I'm sure their mansions and millions of $$ makes the annoyance a lot less hard to deal with! I don't understand ppl who come on this site and spit so much hate at TMZ, but take the time to leave a comment on the posts. You're just proving that ur interested in what they post, and they'll just keep doing it! U don't have to agree with what they are doing...as long as u come on this site, they get paid!!!

71. TMZ i am really disappointed in this site. You guys have slipped to the ultimate bottom in journalism. Come onnnn! Put yourselves in Britney's shoes for one second; I'm sure none of you pathetic ppl can handle it. She's just relaxing in the comforts of her family's home... why won't you leave her alone?? or if you decide to continue reporting on her you do not have to make such remarks about her. We all know she's in a very sensitive state now and you're adding fuel to the fire FOR YOUR OWN BENEFITS!!! is that what the world have come to?? a few extra dollars for lashing out on someone who has gotten MORE than her fair share... come on find REAL STORIES with SUBSTANCE.. make a DIFFERENCE.

73. Jules my disagreement with u isn't the fact that they paid for the picture, the point is there is a difference in paying for a pic and sending an employee from ur company to go take the pic and "climb trees" as u stated.
It's a lot less work to just buy a photo from an agency than it is to fly someone to Kentwood, pay for hotel,etc. It's no big deal if they just bought the pic and post it. That's their job right?!!! Pics, articles, and video is why YOUR here right?! So what's the big deal?!

74. DAM! And I thought Q was going to tell us how much the picture went for? guess not.
