Spears Parties With Speeding Paparazzi....

Britney Spears tried to make peace with her army of paparazzi followers on Saturday (19Jan08) when she invited a small group of snappers into her Los Angeles home to party with her.Four photographers were arrested and charged with reckless driving in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening (16Jan08) after a high-speed car chase in pursuit of Spears.And the troubled singer felt so bad for the snappers, she decided to make it up to them at the weekend.According to PageSix.com, the pop star picked out photographer Filipe Teixeira from the crowd and asked him to join her in her Mercedes-Benz so that she could personally apologise for Wednesday's events.Spears then invited Teixeira, who was one of the four men arrested by Los Angeles police, to follow her back to her mansion, where they drank champagne and partied with two of the other snappers for four hours, according to various internet reports.And Spears had a special interest in Teixeira - he is alleged to have first introduced the singer to her paparazzo boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib. Ghalib spent the weekend in Santa Barbara after attending a family funeral, and did not join the late-night party.It was reported earlier that troubled star Britney Spears has not lost her role in new movie Memoirs Of A Medicated Child, despite U.S. reports to the contrary.The Toxic hitmaker was reported to have been replaced by Canadian singer Samantha Falk in the movie after being dropped by producers.

But the film's director Tommy Parker denies Spears was axed from the picture.

He tells New York gossip column PageSix, "The rumours of Britney Spears not starring in the movie are false. We still are in negotiations and the possibility of Britney still being in the movie remains the same.

"Samantha has been cast in the movie, but her involvement in the film does not affect the part we would like Britney to play."

However, in a statement issued on Friday (18Jan08), Falk announced her intention to back out of the film and maintains Spears is not part of the project.

She says, "After reading some of the articles and interviews, I would like to say officially at this point that I am removing myself from all dealings with this film/project. I do not appreciate being misled by Tommy Parker in this manner.

"To my knowledge Britney Spears is in no way attached to this film at this time. Tommy Parker can choose to say whatever he wants. However, myself along with my clients will not be a part of it!".
