BRITNEY SPEARS - O'DONNELL FEARS SPEARS WILL DIE LIKE DIANA

O'DONNELL FEARS SPEARS WILL DIE LIKE DIANA

BRITNEY SPEARS will suffer the same fate as DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES, if the paparazzi don't leave her alone, outspoken actress-turned-U.S. TV personality ROSIE O'DONNELL has warned. In her daily online blog, O'Donnell expresses her fears Spears will die trying to flee the press mob that follows her every move. Princess Diana was killed in a Paris, France car crash in 1997 as she attempted to get away from the press pack chasing her. And O'Donnell admits she has flashbacks to the Diana tragedy everytime she sees Spears being chased by an army of photographers. She writes, "I remember the tunnel as it appeared on the news, lit by headlights, flashlights, red lights. Between the cement tall pillars was a heap of twisted metal. I saw it then, and I can see it now. Diana dead." And the crazy events of Monday (14Jan08), which saw Spears trying to escape the paparazzi following her home from a Los Angeles courthouse by running into a Sherman Oaks, California church, made O'Donnell fear for the troubled pop star, She adds, "She (Spears) will be trying to get away, but they will chase her, just as they chased her into that church yesterday. "There were dozens of them, jostling their way into sanctuary, elbowing past each other, just to creep closer to her. "Not a girl, barely even a woman yet, they chased her. A mob of stalkers for whom no stalking laws have been written."
