Only photo in wide distribution. Where is the passenger side door to this car???

Note hand grip to passenger side door (A). See the red no parking curb (B). Note pavement (C). Does this make sense to you if she is driving?

At least one of the pictures supposedly showing Britney Spears driving around with a baby in her lap clearly show the right (passenger side) door to be open and the car likely parked or part of a Photoshop job.

This entire story appears to be created out of nothing. Only a scant few of the reports have any of the pictures. X17, the Canadian picture agency (with the photos) tells a warped story, the Britney quotes about the incident may be part of a fabrication too. The problem I have it is that the news media outlets just went with this defamation with what looks like no evidence or reporting at all.

Even the Jon Stewart Show, which is cynical about these things, ran one of the pics to ridicule the woman.

The media as a whole used the incidents to run pics of Britney.

run down of reports:
Times of India. No picture of her driving with baby. Instead this newspaper runs hot photos of her on stage.

MSNBC. No pic here either, instead a pic of her and husband in a runway stock shot

Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel – No pic whatsoever, but a nice cynical headline, “Mother of the Year.”

USA Today, no pics here either, just as pic of smiling Britney and the caption, “What was she thinking?”

Mirror (UK) – Shows a pretty pic of Britney standing around.

You can go through a hundred sites and this is the typical way of handling it. Moan and groan then run some hot pics of Britney.

Sky runs a pic of Britney and the baby, but never ntoices that something is weird about the picture.

Then there is this article in the Ledger which discusses the whole incident with X17′s owner and the photographer who took the picture George Spaly. Listen to this explanation:

Britney asked George not to take pictures of her and the baby at the Starbuck’s and he agreed. In fact, on this particular afternoon at 1 p.m., it was so quiet that another bodyguard following in a car behind Britney’s left shortly after arriving at the Starbuck’s.”

Once Britney and her bodyguards had their drinks, she reportedly switched seats with one bodyguard and drove off with Sean Preston plopped in her lap.

“She had her right hand on the wheel and her other hand apparently holding her kid. That’s when George started shooting. He kept a respectable distance.”

How does this explain the picture of her seated with the bodyguard on the phone and the door open?

Again the only picture that accompanies the artilce is a sultry stock shot of Spears.

The National Enquirer Online, normally a buyer of such photos, mentions the incident in passing and ask readers what they think of it. There is a stock photo of Britney’s smiling face.

X17 problems, MSNBC had a story about Britney’s previous run ins with X17 here.

And let’s not forget the hoax regarding this woman last February when she supposed posed nude for Playboy and did not.

There may be other more conclusive photos, but the one above is not it. And I’d be suspicious of Photoshop at work to make any of these pics look better. The message here is that running stories like this with photos that do not prove anything along with quotes from the PR machine which are massaged to death; then running the item as news with hot pics of Britney to get attention is a pathetic indictment of the newspaper business in the information age.
