It’s a good job that nobody listens to Kevin Federline. He hates the paparazzi following him and Britney around, even if he does bewilderingly call them Pavarottis. But the paparazzi are a useful bunch.

Just ask Britney Spears. When her Ferrari had a breakdown recently on a California highway, who was there to help her push the car to safety? Kevin? No. Baby Preston? No. The paparazzi? Why, yes.

The paparazzi are usually blamed for causing accidents – like making Lindsay Lohan drive into a truck or smashing cameras into the faces of children. But it’s rare to hear about the other side of the paparazzi – the warm, cuddly, caring side.

That was the side that Britney Spears (CDs) saw for herself when she and
her brother Bryan were driving through Malibu in a Ferrari when trouble
struck and the car had a breakdown. As usual, badly-dressed Britney was being trailed by the paparazzi – but they turned out to be Britney’s guardian angels in disguise.

A source close to the Spears family told Access Hollywood that the
paparazzi stopped and actually helped Britney and Bryan push the car off to the
side of the road, then stayed to comfort them until police arrived.

And then the paparazzi took loads of pictures of Britney. Sure, they’re helpful – but they’re not stupid.
