She is uploading a clip onto her website every week of a member of the baying photographic horde who chase her making a fool of themselves. The so-called 'paparazzie' award will go to the shutterbug who most gets her goat that week. The first clip shows a photographer falling over backwards as he tries to snap her (captioned "This photographer eats some dirt while trying to get a shot of Britney").
Some stars have tried to confront their camera-wielding poachers face-to-face (see the infamous clip of mechanically-reclaimed singer Cher getting off her motorbike to challenge a photographer or the footage of lukewarm funkateer trying to bully a snapper and getting bashed in the nose). Often times these moment backfire as there are a hundred other photographers there to capture the argument. But this gives Britney (for the first time) editorial control over how this is presented, which is a delicious irony she is clearly savouring.
Obviously Holy Moly! took a stand against overly-aggressive paparazzi and their pictures last year. And she has a new album out next month (coincidence alert!), but good on her, the game lass.
