PAPARAZZI 1 BRITNEY 0

Events are still kind of sketchy because they are happening right now, but what seems to have happened is that after an evening wandering around showing the world her tits, getting changed five times and popping in and out of that weird English accent, Britney's mother turned up along with a psychiatrist who evaluated her as being slighty barking and in need of help (erm, the world has been saying that for the past six months - Ed).

Now I'm no police co-ordination expert, but I would assume that if you need to get someone to hospital quickly and with the minimum of fuss then two helicopters and 12 police cars probably isn't the right way of going about it. What the fuck did they think was going to happen? Al Qaeda strike? Britney doing a Dr. Richard Kimble and going on the run after crashing her ambulance onto a train track before clearing her name at some convention of paparazzi and court judges? LET'S HOPE SO!

But seriously - she's ill, she's lost her marriage and kids, she doesn't know what the fuck she's doing and hasn't done for some time. Let her be.
