There is even more evidence to support the common belief that Britney Spears' run as the paps' main target is over, and that Miley Cyrus has taken her place. It comes to us from Rush & Molloy:
Dare we hope? The paparazzi are over Britney Spears, a top photo agency head tells us. "Over the weekend, there were less than a half dozen covering Britney" despite her imminent sitcom debut on "How I Met Your Mother" says BuzzFoto founder Brad Elterman. "Yet there were 30 in the pack covering Miley Cyrus. Most of them were Britney regulars, but they want something new and fresh. It's moved on to Miley."
This is all clearly a result of Britney's family stepping in to manage her affairs. If Sam Lutfi were still in charge, Britney would still be acting like a maniac all over the place, and the paps would still be following her hoping for a meltdown.
The only reason they're following Miley is because she's the flavor of the month. No one actually believes she's going to lose it on-camera. That kid is so programmed and controlled, she probably doesn't take a leak without permission.
In the end, Miley will prove far too boring for lasting pap-attention. Someone wilder will have to emerge...or, Britney will have to get desperate, and do something really nuts like toss one of her kids off a roof or maybe get a third ear grafted onto her forehead.
