Britney Spears has criticised Us Weekly magazine for publishing snaps of her and Kevin Federline's honeymoon in Fiji, taken by staff members at the resort where they stayed.
In a statement, Spears told reporters: "Kevin and I chose a resort location where we were promised absolute privacy and seclusion. Unfortunately, staff members took photographs of us, which we allowed them to take once we were assured they were being taken only for private use in a scrap book they gave us as a souvenir. Other magazines, including Star, contacted us when presented with these photographs and refused to publish them. Kevin and I thank those other magazines for respecting our rights of privacy."
Responding,
Us Weekly weren't in any mood to make amends: "Coming from a celebrity who sold pictures of both her wedding and her stepdaughter, it's unlikely the issue here is privacy. Could it be that Britney is seeing red after not seeing the green from these photos?
Britney Spears should start a magazine if she'd like to dictate her own coverage."
