Vanessa Grigoriadis reported in "The Tragedy of Britney Spears" (2008), her cover story for [i]Rolling Stone[/i], that "more than any other star today, Britney epitomizes the crucible of fame for the famous: loving it, hating it and never quite being able to stop it from destroying you."[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-Grigoriadis-172][u][size=21][color:6c1b=#0000ff][173][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] Grigoriadis wrote that "every day in L.A., at least a hundred [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Paparazzi][u][size=21][color:6c1b=#0000ff]paparazzi[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21], reporters and celebrity-magazine editors dash after her" and that paparazzi estimated Spears generated "up to twenty percent of their coverage for the past year."[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-Grigoriadis-172][u][size=21][color:6c1b=#0000ff][173][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] She further documented that in addition to tabloid journalists, the [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/Associated_Press][u][size=21][color:6c1b=#0000ff]Associated Press[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] declared that everything Spears does is considered news.[/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/l%20cite_note-Grigoriadis-172][u][size=21][color:6c1b=#0000ff][173][/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21] "The paparazzi feed the celebrity magazines, which feed the mainstream press, while sources sell their dirtiest material to [/size][url=https://algassania2.mam9.com/wiki/British_tabloid_press][u][size=21][color:6c1b=#0000ff]British tabloids[/u][/color][/size][/url][size=21], and then it trickles back to America," wrote Grigoriadis.
