Two paparazzi have been arrested near pop star Britney Spears' home in Los Angeles and charged with suspicion of loitering.
A police patrol spotted the two photographers illegally parked on a city-owned fire access road off limits to the public.
Although they were told to leave, the pair had not moved when police returned to the area 45 minutes later, and were promptly arrested.
The paparazzi were taken to North Hollywood Station, where they were booked on suspicion of loitering and released.
Their vehicle was towed and impounded by the Los Angeles Police Department.
The street where the arrest took place is near the Spears residence in Los Angeles' Studio City, which is often staked out by paparazzi and reporters seeking the latest glimpse of the 26-year-old icon or gossip about her troubled personal life.

Britney Spears' record label are trying to force her into recording a new album. The troubled 26-year-old singer - who was recently photographed emerging from a recording studio with her manager Larry Rudolph - wants to concentrate on her acting career, but is reportedly being pushed to make a new record.
A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Britney wants to focus on her TV and movie career right now. Jive Records and Larry are having trouble getting her to record, so they forced her hand by releasing the photo of her and Larry and a statement saying she is working on a new album this summer." Earlier this week, Larry revealed Britney was busy recording her new album.
He said in a statement: "She is spending her summer in the recording studio, working on a brand new album. She's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters, and we're very excited about what she's accomplished so far. No album release date has been confirmed yet." Earlier this year, Britney received rave reviews for her two cameo appearances in US TV show 'How I Met Your Mother', prompting speculation she may return to the role in future episodes.
The mother-of-two also enjoyed success with her 2002 movie 'Crossroads' and was in negotiations to star as Daisy Duke in 'The Dukes of Hazzard'. The role was eventually filled by Britney's pop rival Jessica Simpson. Britney's last album 'Blackout' was released in October 2007 and proved a hit with both critics and fans.

Network executives for U.S. sitcom HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER have slammed reports BRITNEY SPEARS' guest role on their show saved it from being canned.
Spears was snubbed for her stint on the show earlier this month (Jul08) when she was left off the top 10 list of Emmy semifinalists in the Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category.
And though show ratings soared when the pop star played a ditzy secretary in two recent episodes, CBS bosses insist it wasn't Spears who saved the show.
Network entertainment president Nina Tassler explains: "It (How I Met Your Mother) was never in danger; we just took a while to make the announcement (of its renewal)."
Chiefs at Spears' record label JIVE were rumoured to be questioning her dedication to her comeback album when reports surfaced on Friday (18Jul08) the Toxic star was more interested in focusing on her acting career.
CBS heads have not confirmed Spears will be making another return to the show.

Pop princess Britney Spears looked more her stunning self when she attended a charity bash hosted by actor Jim Carrey and his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy.
Six months back the Toxic singer's condition was so bad that nobody expected her to recover from it, but the singer has proved everyone wrong by getting back on her feet.
Spears had reached a position in which she had to be hospitalised, as she had become a drug-crazed wreck, dogged by controversy.
But Britney's most recent pictures show that she's finally put her past behind and is on the road to recovery.
The Los Angeles bash came just days after her amicable custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline, which gives her more access to sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Most, especially Spears' family members believe that her father Jamie is the one who has kept her alive.
"He has been her saviour. It was a horrible period and she was on the brink of disaster but she looks wonderful now. You can see the happiness in her eyes," the Sun quoted one as saying.
Jamie put an end to Spears' all-night benders on Red Bull and amphetamine-based prescription drug Adderall, the erratic drives around LA and the late-night shopping sprees.
For Spears getting rid of her demons is a big issue and she has been doing it by dancing. She is a regular visitor at Hollywood's Millennium Dance Complex and has been teaching kids.
"Britney is using dance as part of her therapeutic efforts to come back," owner Robert Baker said.
"We are all excited and happy that she's getting her life back," he added.

X17 can exclusively report that while Britney and Kevin's lawyers were hashing out a new custody agreement last night, Britney was at Ben Kitay productions in Hollywood. Photogs say she was at the studio from 9pm until 10:30 at night, auditioning dancers presumably for a music video for her next single!
But as excited as we are for a new Britney album, is this really what she wants or needs right now? According to the Post, she'd rather concentrate on her acting career, but Jive records and manager Larry Rudolph are forcing her to spend "the summer in the studio, working on a brand-new album"!

Following this morning court proceedings, where lawyers for Britney Spears and Kevin Federline announced to commissioner Scott Gordon that they had agreed on a final settlement in their drawn-out custody battle, Laura Wasser, Brit's attorney spoke to OK! about the resolution to this long legal feud.
"It's a victory for both sides," claims Wasser. "They both want what's best for the kids and they both wanted to avoid a trial. They thought it wasn't necessary or cost-effective."
Wasser also confirmed that Britney still has Sean Preston, 2, and 1-year-old Jayden James for two day visits and one overnight visit per week, adding, "She will have more custodial time by the end of the year."
As for her client's state of mind, the legal eagle says, "Britney's doing great. She's very excited to have her kids overnight today." This is a slight break from the pop star's normal schedule with her boys, which had previously seen them having their overnight visits on Saturday evenings.
And to those who might see this agreement, which has K-Fed maintaining sole physical custody, Wasser clarifies, "There was never a fight over custody; That wasn't the issue... The issue was about getting more time [with the boys.]"
Meanwhile, Kevin's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan tells OK! that his client is "very happy" with the agreement and with being able to avert the "economic and emotional cost" of a trial.
Currently, the agreement between the Spears and Federline camp is still awaiting approval from Gordon, though he is expected to ratify the deal early next week.

Britney Spears's custody settlement with her ex Kevin Federline, in which he retained sole custody of the couple's two sons, came at a price.
A source close to the singer confirms she'll now pay Federline $20,000 a month in child support, an increase from $15,000.
Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, also demanded and received $250,000 for his work on the case, the source adds.
"All Britney was seeking was a formalization of her increased visitation that she's obtained over recent weeks, and the additional overnight," the source said. "She won both of those requests."
Spears, who is represented by lawyer Laura Wasser, currently sees her sons twice a week with one overnight. The source adds that she will get an additional overnight by year's end, barring any setbacks.
At a press conference following Friday's hearing, Kaplan declined to address any monetary settlement. "This has been a long ordeal [for Kevin]," Kaplan said, "and for it to be over makes him very happy."

In a shocking new development, OK! has learned exclusively that Britney Spears has ended her battle to win back custody of her children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, from ex-husband Kevin Federline.
In an exclusive interview with OK!, Kevin's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan says both Britney and Kevin reached and signed off on a settlement in their custody case today.
Kaplan tells OK!, "At about 8 p.m. PT, a final settlement in the Kevin Federline-Britney Spears custody case was signed. All parties have agreed to the following: Kevin will retain sole legal and physical custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James. Britney will continue to have visitation rights which may increase over time. The agreement will be presented to the court in the morning for approval by the commissioner."
Kaplan adds, "Kevin is ecstatic and the boys are thriving."
Britney, who remains under the legal conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears, lost custody of her sons to Kevin last October. At the time she had visitation privileges but they were severely restricted following her January hospitalization for psychiatric evaluation.
She currently has monitored visitation with her sons two days a week and one overnight.

Britney Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline are headed for a custody trial next month - but some legal experts say a settlement is more likely.
"If Britney goes to trial, it's a gamble," says L.A. family lawyer Lynn Soodik, who's not involved with the case. "Yes, she could win more time with her kids, or she could lose what's already in place."
The former couple, who are parents to Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden, 1 1/2, are due back in court Friday for a routine custody hearing.
Spears currently has monitored visitation with her sons twice a week with one overnight. In January, after a forced hospitalization at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Spears lost all visitation rights with her kids until the following month.
"It's extremely rare for a parent to be under conservatorship during a custody battle," adds Soodik. "Because of this, it's in her best interest to fight for more custody only after she regains her health. A settlement can happen at any time."
A source close to Spears says the singer will likely get increased visitation as time goes on.
She remains under her father's legal control until July 31, when a court will decide whether to extend his powers.

Britney Spears is attempting yet another comeback: Reps have confirmed that she is at work on the follow-up to 2007’s Blackout. A statement from Jive Records and Spears' manager Larry Rudolph says that “Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio, working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters. We’re very excited about what she’s accomplished so far.”
So is Sean Garrett, who happens to be one of those producers. “We’re trying to take her stuff to the next level,” he tells EW.com. “I’m going to come up with something crazy for her.” Spears has sold 83 million albums worldwide in her career, but Blackout only went platinum in the U.S., likely due to declining CD sales and her status as last year’s most permanent tabloid fixture. But Garrett -- who’s also worked with Usher, Beyoncé, and Chris Brown -- welcomes the challenge. “I like to work on an artist when they count them out...and bring them back.”

Madonna has asked Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears to perform together during the finale of her upcoming world tour, it's been reported.
The pop star, who begins her Sticky & Sweet tour in Cardiff next month, is understood to be keen to team up with both singers, who used to date each other, on stage.
Spears spokesperson has already confirmed that the singer is to shot a promo video for Madonna's tour, which will be shown during the show.
But Madonna now wants Timberlake to join her in person, according to the Sun newspaper.
“Madonna is always trying to raise the bar and Britney and Timberlake on the same stage would be perfect,” a source told the newspaper.
“They have both been asked but I think both are a bit reluctant. Britney would find it all a bit emotional and JT might not fancy it. More likely is that they both appear on different dates.
"But if anyone can make this happen it’s Madonna.”
Timberlake makes a guest appearance on Madonna's latest album 'Hard Candy' and performed with her during a secret show in New York earlier this year.
Piers Morgan has revealed that his dream chat show guest would be Britney Spears.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge says he feels sorry for the 26-year-old singer -- but he thinks she can bounce back.
'She still got ability,' he says. 'I feel sorry for her. She needs someone like me to take charge of her career. I'd sort Britney out in a heartbeat.'
Piers also has a few words of warning for Simon Cowell, claiming he would win hands down in a fight between the two.
‘I’d beat Simon to a pulp,’ he tells OK! USA. ‘He’d only be able to punch my stomach because that’s as far as he can reach.’
Piers, 34, is currently filming America’s Got Talent with David Hasslehoff, 55, and Sharon Osbourne, 55.

Britney Spears's summer won't be all rest and relaxation this year: The pop singer will be spending time hard at work on her yet-untitled next album, according to her manager.
"Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio, working on a brand new album," manager Larry Rudolph announced Tuesday in a statement released by Jive Records.
"She's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters, and we're very excited about what she's accomplished so far. No album release date has been confirmed yet."
Spears spent time in and out of the studio in the spring, fueling rumors of an upcoming album. But at that time it was "recreational," Rudolph insisted.
"She's been going to the studio, she's been having some fun. But it's all recreational for her," he told PEOPLE in May. "She's like, 'I want to go to the studio because I want to have some fun' and that's what it's all about. There's no schedule, there's no agenda, there's no anything. She is just enjoying herself."
In the studio, "She's giggly," he added. "Some days she'll go in and get nothing done. Some times she'll just play around a little bit."
Planning Ahead
But Rudolph said there was a reason behind the playtime. "She's the type of person who has the eye of the tiger," he said. "She'll likely wake up one day and decide she wants to do more than that. Whether that is a day from now, a month from now or a year from now or five years from now, I have no idea."
Lucky for her fans, she woke up sooner rather than later.
After a difficult year that included an ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline and two well-publicized visits to the hospital, Rudolph says Spears is feeling strong and her old self again.
"She's got people around her that really care about her and are there to point her in the right direction in respect to the things she should be concentrating on -- her life."
Last week, Spears filmed a video segment in Hollywood that is expected to be part of Madonna's upcoming Sticky & Sweet tour.
"Britney is getting back in touch with Britney," Rudolph said in May. "And she's doing an amazing job at that."

The Material Girl hitmaker was set to meet with Spears in New York on Sunday to record a video, which will be broadcast on big screens during her upcoming Sticky and Sweet tour, due to kick off on August 23.
And according to reports, the 49-year-old has even invited the Toxic star to join her onstage at some of her world tour dates.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "They are recording a video together on Sunday that will provide the backdrop for part of Madonna's show.
"And they are talking about Britney taking the stage on a few of the dates too.
"It's hoped that Madonna can help Britney get back to her old self."
The singers previously stunned fans at the 2003 MTV Music Awards when they shared a passionate kiss onstage.

You want a piece of Britney Spears? It won't come cheap.
Seven articles of clothing once worn by the pop star are among the pieces being offered to the public by online auctioneers Gotta Have It! as part of their upcoming Rock & Roll Pop Art Auction.
One of the featured pieces is a T-shirt worn by Spears, 26, while she was a cast member on the New Mickey Mouse Club and signed by her costars, including Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Keri Russell. (Spears had given the shirt to her grandmother.)
"Something like that has never come up for auction before," Gotta Have It! owner Ed Kosinski tells PEOPLE. "We expect it to go for between $15,000 and $20,000."
Other Spears items include costumes from her "Drive Me Crazy" and "Oops, I Did it Again" tours, a blue and white sexy Santa dress she wore in a Christmas ad for Pepsi in 2000, and the orange coat and pants she wore to the Billboard Music Awards that same year.
Also on the block: a pair of jeans that Marilyn Monroe wore in the film River of No Return, which Spears had received as a gift from Tommy Hilfiger. Kosinski expects them to sell in the range of $60,000 to $80,000.
Proceeds from the sale of the Spears memorabilia, which was provided by Tri Star Sports and Entertainment Group on behalf of the singer, will go to a charity of Tri Star’s choosing. The company’s owner, Lou Taylor, is a spokesperson for the Spears family.
In addition to the Spears items, more than 500 lots will be offered -- everything from an Elvis jumpsuit to Madonna's 1987-1988 datebook.
The datebook is "all hand-written and what she did day-to-day -- if she had dinner, if she had rehearsals," says Kosinski. It even includes phone numbers for Madonna's then-husband, Sean Penn, and her Dick Tracy costar, Dustin Hoffman. Estimated selling price: $6,000 to $8,000.
The online auction will be open from July 21 until Aug. 6.

Britney Spears wants to move on up -- to the quiet side.
The singer is currently seeking new, paparazzi-free digs, according to court documents filed on her behalf by dad/co-conservator of her estate Jamie Spears and her attorney, Andrew M. Wallet, TMZ reports.
The ideal home for Britney would be a house with a larger backyard for her sons, Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, to play in and would be located in a "lower density, more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood, that is also more accessible to parks and recreation areas suitable for the...children."
Last week, Britney, 26, received the court's approval to put her current Beverly Hills pad on the market. Selling her current residence would be in the "best interest of the Conservatee, her Estate and her minor children," the document reads.
The house-hunting is the just the latest development in Britney's life. The recovering star earned overnights with her boys last week, but after a stalemate meeting, she and Kevin Federline are set to iron out their custody issues at an August trial date.

In part 2 of our interview with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, the super producer spoke exclusively to Rap-Up TV about reuniting with Britney Spears and Brandy for their new albums.
Jerkins was back in the studio with Spears for the first time in seven years to produce some tracks for the pop star’s as-yet-untitled sixth studio album, which he revealed is scheduled for an early 2009 release. With this album, the trackmaster behind Spears’ “Overprotected (Remix),” said he’s “trying to reinvent her” and described the new sound as “very dancey, really uptempo, in the clubs, real aggressive, and catchy.”
Darkchild called the superstar a “professional” and cited a recent session where she completed a song in two hours. “She walked in at 8:30 and was out by 10:30.”
As for Brandy, he said that he will be done recording with the newly signed Epic Records artist in a couple weeks. The two have not worked together since 2002’s Full Moon. They decided to “put the egos aside” in order to go back to making great records.

Kevin Federline wants Britney Spears to once again play a major role in their children's lives. Just not a bigger role than his.
K-Fed's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, spoke exclusively to E! News in the wake of Thursday's all-day mediation session, in which both sides were seeking to hash out a custody agreement in advance of an August trial.
"Kevin is seeking to maintain the sole legal and physical custody that he presently has," Kaplan said. "There's nothing magical about 50-50. There's nothing magical about 60-40. What's magical is that whatever order is in place, it's the order that best suits the best interest of the children."
Which, ideally, would give the 30-year-old Federline full custody, simply making permanent the present temporary order.
"Kevin has had sole legal custody since January. He wants that to become the permanent order at trial, and the visitation to be consistent with what the court expanded it to this week."
Namely, allowing Spears, 26, overnight visitation with sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, which will begin Saturday night. In addition to the sleepover, she is also allowed two day visits per week.
For his part, Kaplan said Federline is more than happy to give the stabilized Spears not only more custody rights but the ability to be "involved in their lives in a very substantial and meaningful way," and credits the conservatorship with her recent turnaround.
"He wants to have an order...that takes into account a certain stability and structure for the kids...regardless of whose house they happen to be in at any given moment.
