Britney Spears returned to Los Angeles and immediately saw a member of her entourage get involved in an altercation with a photographer.

Between 30 and 35 photographers swarmed round her vehicle outside the terminal of Los Angeles International Airport before a bodyguard pushed a camera into a photographer's face, Airport Police Sergeant Jim Holcomb said.

Sgt Holcomb said the photographer complained that the shove left a slight mark on the cheek, but cooler heads prevailed and no charges were filed.
