Britney Spears Apologizes for Umbrella Attack | Britney Spears
Britney Spears offered an explanation on Wednesday for assaulting a photographer's car with an umbrella in February: It was all for Hollywood.

"I apologize to the pap for a stunt that was done 4 months ago regarding an umbrella," Spears, 25, writes on her Web site.

"I was preparing my character for a roll (sic) in a movie where the husband never plays his part so they switch places accidentally.

"I take all my rolls very seriously and got a little carried away. Unfortunately I didn't get the part."

The umbrella incident took place during a period of strange behavior by Spears, during which she shaved her head, got two new tattoos and hit the L.A. club scene.

Shortly before she checked into rehab, she bashed a paparazzo's SUV with a green umbrella following a visit to estranged husband Kevin Federline's house.


"I was a shoulder for her to cry on when she broke up with Tom." (As in former husband Cruise) "I supported her a lot. You know she couldn't cry on his shoulder unless he stood on, well, a small stepladder, could she really? And I mean that in a very very nice way. I do."
