George ClooneyGeorge ClooneyThe Britney Spears saga has the world of celebrity divided.

But George Clooney for one is behind the star.

Speaking on US TV show Entertainment Tonight, the Ocean's 13 star hit out at the tactics used by the paparazzi to chase stars such as Ms Spears.

"You look at footage of Britney running the red light - there's eight guys with cameras at night in the middle of the street. There are no rules now," he said.

"It's getting to a point where people that are not involved are getting hurt."

George went onto reveal that he'd almost collided with photographers himself, when riding on his motorbike in Los Angeles earlier this month.

"The guys that commit all these crimes are rewarded for it. It creates bounty hunters in a way."

Good on you, George - stand up for your fellow celebs...
