Britney Spears sets up shots with the paparazzi because she gets a kick out of it, a photographer has claimed. The troubled singer wants to make sure her every move is chronicled, lensman Alison Silva said.
The New York Post reports that Silva - who once accused actor Keanu Reeves of assault and battery - told private eye Paul Barresi that Spears is in cahoots with the press pack.
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."
Silva also claimed that when four photographers were arrested last week for chasing the Toxic star, "one of [them who] works for my company told me that Britney sent him a text message and said she was sorry. She tried to talk the cops into not arresting them."
Silva added: "Money, fame, the excitement. It's part of her life."
Barresi said he had watched footage of Spears with photographer boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.
He said: "[Ghalib] appeared to purposely position Britney in full view of fellow paparazzi to help them get the shot.
"It appeared that Britney is in on the sham."
A spokesperson for Spears was unavailable for comment.
The 26-year-old pop star was stripped of her visitation rights to see Sean Preston, two; and Jayden James, on January 14 after she failed to show at court.
It comes as Spears appears to have split from her British paparazzo boyfriend Adnan Ghalib after a brief relationship.
It has been claimed that Spears dumped the Birmingham photographer - who is still married to his wife AzLynn Berry - and has taken out a restraining order against him.
And she seems to have wasted no time finding a new man - she invited paparazzo Felipe Teixeira into her home over the weekend where she then asked him out on a date, according to reports in the US.
