Britney Spears is in “cahoots” with the paparazzi in a bid to ensure that her every move is captured on film, photographer Alison Silva tells celebrity private eye Paul Barresi.

“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.”

Allison says Britney even tried to prevent four members of the paps from being arrested after they chased her down a Hollywood highway last week: “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 . . . Money, fame, the excitement. It’s part of her life.”

Paul tells the New York Post that after reviewing footage of Spears with Adnan Ghalib, “[he] 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.”
