Troubled pop star Britney Spears threw a baby bottle and threatened to kill two photographers after they took pictures of her leaving a Las Vegas spa, it has been alleged.

The Toxic hit maker has been accused of threatening to kill Andrew Deetz, who has now instructed his lawyers to sue the star for compensation.

In a lawsuit filed in Las Vegas, Deetz claims he and his colleague Kyle Henderson were attacked by Spears' bodyguard Julio 'JC' Camera as they attempted to take photos of the singer and her children Sean Preston and Jayden James on Thursday (26Jul07).

In a statement read by Daniel Kogan, a spokesman for Deetz's lawyers, Spears ran towards Henderson and threw a bottle at him before being stopped by security.

Deetz also alleges Spears recommended he get a restraining order against her because she was either going to kill him herself or hire a hit man to do the job for her.

Las Vegas police issued a summons for a charge of battery to Camera on Friday (27Jul07). He could face up to six months in county jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted.

Spears' lawyer Gary Stiffelman declined to comment.
