George Defends Victim Britney

Britney Spears has got another celebrity fighting her corner - George Clooney.

The Ocean’s 13 actor’s sprung to her defence on the issue of being chased by paparazzi – something both are no stranger to.

George has told US TV show Entertainment Tonight: "You look at the footage of Britney Spears running the red light... there's eight guys with cameras at night in the middle of the street."

"There are no rules now."

He added: "What they're doing is illegal. It's high-speed chases and they're competing with each other. They're not trying to catch me doing something stupid, they're trying to create me doing something stupid. You don't get to break all these laws and then say, `I'm just doing my job.'"

"I don't want to restrict anyone's rights."

"Take your pictures but don't go 60 miles per hour down a one-way street."
