Candy Spelling to Celebrity News Media: Back Off Britney!

All the non-stop coverage of Britney Spears' recent traffic troubles and parenting mishaps is driving some people crazy. Among them? Candy Spelling.

T.H. GOSSIP NOTE: Candy Spelling sucks. As mothers and people go, she may even have Britney Spears' own mother, Lynne Spears, beat by a long shot.

Candy Spelling: Standing up for Britney Spears. 

In a column on The Huffington Post Sunday, Candy Spelling cited a November 16 Los Angeles Times article about Britney Spears driving over the feet of a sheriff's deputy and two photographers. She's not pleased. She writes:

"Enough. It's time to leave this girl alone ... She didn't run over the feet of the two paparazzi or one sheriff's deputy on purpose. I've seen 'breaking news' of her driving on many networks, and I don't think her aim is that good... Feet must not count. We've already learned they are just misdemeanors. Fortunately, the foot faults do not seem to have resulted in any injuries to the three victims."

Candy Spelling's ridiculous rant continues ...

"That can't be the case for Spears, or her children [Sean Preston and Jayden James] whose terrified faces we see each time the paparazzi invade her car to get photos. Three feet is enough. We all know that something terrible is destined to happen to Spears, her kids, one of the photographers or innocent bystanders if she isn't given a few feet of space and privacy. How about a time out?"

She might have a little bit of a point.

Britney Spears clearly asks for it by parading around with no pants and going to public places at all hours, but maybe celebrity photo agencies should back off a little, too. As long as they don't give us Candy Spelling nude pics instead.
