You know, it's boring getting a flat tire. That's why Britney Spears, upon discovering that a non-round tire makes for a bumpy ride, simply left the Mercedes where it sat and hitched a ride home in a following paparazzi photographer's vehicle. The police, however, were less than sympathetic about her choice of parking spots (blocking a lane of Sunset Boulevard), and hitched up their dirty ol' tow truck for a trip to a very expensive parking lot. No word on whether the incident took place in front of Norma Desmond's house. [ShowbizSpy]
