Filipe, the X17 paparazzi who partied at Britney house last week, gave an exclusive interview to this week VEJA, Brazil's best-selling magazine (which isn't a gossip mag, btw). He is Brazilian, so that's why he was interviewed.

Anyway, here is the interview translated by me (so sorry for any mistake)

FILIPE TEIXEIRA, a 27 years old paparazzo from NiterĂ³i, is part of the group that follows BRITNEY SPEARS, 26, day and night. Bizarrely, they created special bonds - she is even dating one of them. Last week, Britney took Filipe to a ride in her car and them to party at her home. There, he had the permission to call his "friends" (other photographers) and, together, they sipped champagne till the wee hours. His impressions:

How is Britney relationship with the photographers? Usually, about thirty of them follow her. Some are closer to her and apparently I'm one of them. Many times, at night, she appears to be photographed only to help us. Sometimes we show her the pics and she delete the ones she doesn't like.

How is her house? It's huge and Britney take care of it alone. She has no maid. Everything is fancy and very organized. I've never seen clothes on the floor or anything like that. She has lots of pictures of her sons, but she does not speak about them very much. When we ask her about them she gets sad.

Do you think she is normal? I do. She does not go out to drink, the required drug tests she did came out negative, she does not drink and drive, she speaks softly and not very loud. People say she's crazy just because she goes to the market in her pajamas and eat hamburgers in public but I've seen lots of Americans doing things like that.

But she shaved her head and attacked a photographer car with an umbrella... She had lots of problem, had just divorced, afraid of losing her sons. Everybody go crazy because of their problems sometimes.
Do you know her current boyfriend? Everybody knows it's pure interest. All he wants is exclusive pictures.
