Britney Spears Denies Paparazzi Deal 8/6/08

Britney Spears has denied brokering a deal with the paparazzi to take pictures of her on holiday in Mexico.

The Toxic hitmaker has been accused of deliberately posing for photographers during a recent break in Cabo San Lucas - and taking a cut of the sale price.

According to New York gossip column PageSix, a photograph of her wearing a white bikini and swimming with dolphins was "set up by her camp".

But a spokesman for Spears has refuted the allegations. The representative says, "If someone is trying to sell photos of Britney in Cabo, they're doing so without her knowledge or permission."
