Pop superstar Britney Spears is furious with the tabloid US Weekly Magazine over the publication of unauthorized photographs of her honeymoon. The magazine, which is more or less dedicated to celebrity gossip, offers readers, “The first-ever glimpse inside Britney Spears's post-wedding escape to a tropical island,” and claims the snaps inside are Britney’s “private honeymoon album”. Britney and her husband Kevin Federline specifically went to a Fijian island known for its seclusion and privacy to avoid the paparazzi. She allowed staff members of a resort to take photos for her as a souvenir of the honeymoon, “Unfortunately, staff members took photographs of us, which we allowed them to take once we were assured they were being taken only for private use in a scrap book they gave us as a souvenir.” Staff then sold the photos to US Weekly, which was only too happy to boost its profits by ignoring Britney’s privacy. Another magazine, Star, was also offered the photos, but refused to publish them. US Weekly hit back at claims of abusing privacy, accusing Britney of being greedy, “Coming from a celebrity who sold pictures of both her wedding and her stepdaughter, it's unlikely the issue here is privacy. Could it be that Britney is seeing red after not seeing the green from these photos?” This again raises the issue of the legality of the paparazzi being able to hunt down celebrities and cash in on their superstar status.
