The incredible media coverage given to Britney's fender-bender earlier today isn't just a sign that media interest in her hasn't gone away. If any one of us had had the same accident, the whole thing would've been over and done with in 15 minutes. There would've been no drama with the person who was rear-ended stopping their car on the center of the freeway and calling the police.
But here we have this guy claiming that she hit him at "15 to 20 mph" and she "may have been putting make-up on just before the crash" and now he has to see a chiropractor urgently. Well, pal... if she hit you at 20 mph the back of your car would be bashed in by about 3 feet and HER car would be undriveable. In fact there was barely a scratch on either car. I would estimate the ACTUAL impact speed at around 1 to 2 mph.
About the "make up" story? Well, it's a traditional scam to pile the pressure on someone who is clearly to blame for an accident. If you can throw some rumors around that they may have been doing some dangerous or careless driving, they'll be in a BIG hurry to pay up and pay well, won't they?
And as for the chiropractor..... Just about EVERYONE who gets hit gently from behind says they're OK - and indeed they ARE OK, but when they think about it later they realise they can claim for back pain because nobody in the entire medical profession can prove or disprove their claim.
Anyway, that's all standard stuff. What's disturbing about this "story" is that it IS a story at all. The media still want a piece of Britney, despite her Dad's best efforts to impose a low profile on her. They're hungrier for Britney news than ever, and getting increasingly desperate.
But because they're getting so little from her now, every tiny little thing that happens in her life is being picked apart and blown out of all proportion. If she scratches her butt on the street now, it'll be a news story. And I'm not joking or exaggerating.
