George Clooney Defends Britney Spears Over Red Light Running

George Clooney has leapt to the defence of Britney Spears over her recent red light running incident.

Spears was being pursued by paparazzi in Los Angeles when she drove through the red light while texting on her mobile phone.

In a video of the incident the paps can be heard shouting “Red Light! Red Light!” but Spears ignored the warnings and drove on through.

Clooney however says the incident was all the fault of the photographers chasing her who he says are a massive distraction while driving.

He told Entertainment Tonight: "You look at the 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. It's getting to a point where people that are not involved are getting hurt."
