Britney Spears is apparently loving all of the press attention, so I wasn’t buying it when she got out of the car for her court appearance and said that she was scared and left.

According to reports, Britney Spears sets up shots with the paparazzi because she gets a kick out of it, one photographer claims.

The troubled singer wants to make sure her every move is chronicled, snapper Alison Silva said.

The New York Post reports that Silva once told private eye Paul Barresi that Spears is in cahoots with the press pack.

Silva said: “Britney is in on it. [She] calls the paparazzi before she goes out. “We know 15 minutes before she leaves the house. It’s all staged.”

Silva also claimed that when four photographers were arrested last week for chasing the Toxic star, “one of [them who] works for my company told me that Britney sent him a text message and said she was sorry. She tried to talk the cops into not arresting them.”

Silva added: “Money, fame, the excitement. It’s part of her life.”

Barresi said he had watched footage of Spears with photographer boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.

He said: “[Ghalib] appeared to purposely position Britney in full view of fellow paparazzi to help them get the shot.

“It appeared that Britney is in on the sham.”
