The wildfire that has taken over the usual serene coastal village of Malibu is nearly under control. Some residents say they wish the same could be said for the paparazzi. Residents have told reporters that while the blaze was destroying structures and forcing evacuations, the snappers were oblivious to the human suffering, and continued to chase Britney Spears around town while she performed her daily task of going to get coffee.

That infuriated some residents who were a bit more concerned for their families and their homes. Still the circus that surrounds the pop wreck stayed right on track as the former pop princess cruised all over town.

According to a report from the New York Observer (of all places) one resident saw five to ten photographers chasing Britney all over town trying to get their shot. "Basically, all the paparazzi are still out there trying to get their Britney shot," said one resident of Malibu as cited by the Observer. "They don't even care much about the burning houses. It's insane. Just as bad as it was before, only now there are burning trees."
One report even claims that Malibu Mel Gibson's wife Robyn was stunned. The report claims she was overheard saying that it was a bit more than annoying that people were more worried about Britney's house than their own safety. For the record, brit's house and her kids are fine.
