Britney Spears' airport attack

Monday, 23 June 2008

Britney Spears almost burst into tears on Friday after a clash between her bodyguard and a photographer turned ugly.

The Gimme More singer was greeted at LAX Airport by a huge crowd of paparazzi as she arrived back in California following her brief trip to Louisiana to help her sister Jamie Lynn give birth.

More than thirty snappers swarmed around her vehicle as she attempted to make her getaway outside the arrivals terminal.

The media scrum soon turned aggressive and her bodyguard was forced to step in to keep the photographers at bay, as a clearly upset Spears kept her head down.

However, a fight nearly broke out when the bodyguard pushed a camera into a snapper's face, according to Airport Police Sergeant Jim Holcomb.

The photographer escaped unscathed, and has chosen not to file charges against Spears' employee.

Meanwhile, the biographer who tricked Britney into thinking he was a photographer has revealed that Britney thinks she will die in the next six months.

Amid all the claims of drug abuse, bipolar problems and suicidal tendencies, Ian Halperin states Spears told him personally she fears she will die at 27.

The biographer, who ironically penned a book about Kurt Cobain - who lost his life at 27, tells Life & Style magazine, "She told me she feared she'd die at age 27 (her current age), just like other music stars, like Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain."

Joplin and Cobain aren't the only members of the sinister 27 Club - rock greats Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Brian Jones all perished before their 28th birthday.
