Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have repeatedly groused about the loss of privacy they've endured at the hands of the hopelessly devoted paparazzi, but their disdain has apparently taken an aggressive new turn.
Seems the pop starlet-turned-prolific mommy is fantasizing about blasting her pursuers away, while her overly fertile rap-happy hubby is reportedly letting his minions use their meaty mitts to deflect unwanted flashbulbs.
First up is the lately reclusive Britney Spears, who not too long ago chatted up Q magazine about her love of uniforms, specifically, cop uniforms, powerful symbols that seemed to get her creative juices flowing.
"Maybe in my next video I'll be a police officer. And I could be shooting all the paparazzi!" enthuses Britney Spears, who poses seductively on the mag's cover in a polka-dot bikini, the better to show off her then-Sutton Pierce-packed belly. "That's a great idea. I love it."
You'll recall that the Britster not only blamed her much-derided decision to drive with Sean Preston on her lap on a supposedly scary encounter with the paps, but she also broke into tears a few months back when Matt Lauer asked her about being a constant shutterbug target.
"I would like for them to leave me alone ... [Y]ou have to realize that we're people and that we need -- we just need privacy and we need our respect," she sniffled to Lauer, eye makeup a-running, exposed cleavage a-heaving. "And -- and those are things that you have to have as a human being."
Federline, meanwhile, took a breather from daddy duty to hit Sin City last Friday for hot spot Tao's one-year anniversary bash. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, trouble began when the "Playing With Fire"-promoting K. Fed, who had skipped the red carpet, stepped outside for a publicist-approved photo op.
But when a nearby female shooter began snapping away, Kevin's burly minder purportedly warned her, "Oh, no you don't," right before she was bonked in the face with her own equipment.
"We were asked to come to take pictures of him," the photographer explains to Luxe Life. "I got two walking shots and then, inexplicably, as I took the third, his bodyguard yelled at me to stop, and next thing I knew was that he punched my camera right back into my forehead bruising my cheeks and eyes."
To his credit (or perhaps his lawyer's credit), Federline expressed regret over the incident. Luxe Life says he e-mailed the shutterbug a personal mea culpa, although the Review-Journal says the apology came from one of his people
