Brandy Navarre, the dealer of paparazzi pics, chats with Radar about how her agency X17 doesn’t just stalk Britney Spears, but acts as her best friend: “Sure, you do start to feel for her. It may sound ridiculous, but I think of her almost like a friend. In a way, we’re her only friends at this point. Which is kind of sad. The photographers are worried about her. When they have the video camera on her, they’re always very friendly to her. They always say nice things and compliment her. They say nice things because they feel for her and they want to boost her morale.” This is the same person who denies she has a financial deal with Britney, hires less-than-professional photographers, and whose lensmen have such questionable driving capabilities other agencies claim they’ve been driven off the road.

But are there some lines she won’t cross? Maybe! There are some photos she absolutely refuses to publish.

Says Navarre, without an ounce of incredulousness: “We self-censor sometimes. It’s your editorial discretion that decides what you’re going to put up and what you’re not going to put out. And it changes from moment to moment. We’ve certainly gone too far sometimes. We’ve made mistakes. But everyone in the media makes mistakes sometimes. The other day we had Jennifer Garner bending over and her butt-crack was hanging out of her jeans, and I was like no way we are using that. She was there with her kids and I don’t want to see her butt-crack; it’s not necessary. Whereas with other stars that would be the focus of the entire story. I can be plenty tasteless, but everyone has their limits, and I’m a mom and I feel like that happens to the best of us. Jennifer’s not Britney or Paris Hilton.”
