"Britney Law" proposed to curtail paparazzi—"Britney Motherhood" still shockingly legal


It's just a coincidence that a photographer happened to get a picture of this particular sign.

Due to the debacle surrounding Britney Spears' $25,000 taxpayer-funded escort to a Los Angeles hospital from her mansion, LA councilman Dennis Zine has decided to introduce the oddly apostrophe-free measure tentatively called the "Britney Law." The measure would give the target of a paparazzo's lens the right to confiscate all profits from any photograph taken without signed consent within a "bubble of safety" around any celebrity.

The proposal has gotten so much attention, the City of Angels is already preparing a dozen more celebrity-specific laws. 23/6 has the inside scoop on some of the upcoming regulations.

Amy Law: No videos can be released of a person smoking crack within 30 days of the Grammy Awards.

Jude Law: Nannies must be under 25, blond, large rack-ed, and horsey looking.

Sherri Law: As a public service, local cable providers must offer customers a special function that mutes Sherri Shepard's incoherent ramblings on "The View."

Matthew McConaugh-law: Bad actors who love to take off their shirts not allowed to receive onscreen credit.

Lorenzo Law: No law here—Lamas paid his councilman $25 to help get his name back in the news.

Aniston Law: Cap on number of pitying, schadenfreudist articles written about you in Us, OK!, and Star per year.

Tom Law: SPs are prevented from assisting in any way at a car crash.
