On the same day she compared her life to someone in jail - only worse, because at least those lucky stiffs get to be released at some point - Britney Spears continued her menial existence by hitting up a dance studio in Van Nuys, Calif., on Monday ...

Lifting the restrictions on Britney's life would also be a welcome boost to the hard hit paparazzi business. Paps sorely miss the halcyon days of last year when opportunities for taking photos of Britney doing crazy things (attacking cars with umbrellas, 'going commando', committing moving violations, etc.) were frequent, and the resulting photos often sold for $100,000 and up. Since the conservatorship took over Britney's life in January, all that has been left are occasional photo opportunities of a sane-looking Britney that don't have anything like the same kind of market value.
The result has been a serious decline in the income of paparazzi photographers, many repossessed BMWs, and a serious decline in business for some Los Angeles area collision repair shops. Paparazzi have been also badly hit by the near-simultaneous decline in interest by the public in Paris Hilton, as well as a prolonged period of good behaviour from Lindsay Lohan. Hopes that Miley Cyrus might evolve into a similarly valuable source of material remain unfounded. It is rumoured that unofficial talks are being held with government officials regarding a bailout of paparazzi photographers to prevent a complete collapse of the industry.
The paparazzi are hopeful that the restrictions on Britney will soon be lifted, and that pink wigged, faux British accent crazy Britney will be back on the road. Shares of Starbucks (stock symbol SBUX) increased moderately in anticipation.
