Cher has told Britney Spears to "blow up" the paparazzi.

The 'Believe' singer advised the troubled star to escape unwanted attention from photographers by planting a car bomb, as she was pursued by snappers herself.

When asked if she had a message for Britney, Cher said: "Yeah, she should blow you guys up with a car bomb!" Cher, 61, isn't the only star to have words of advice for 'Toxic' star Britney.

Heidi Klum, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, Brooke Shields and Britney's ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake have all offered to help get Britney back on the straight and narrow. The 26-year-old singer's erratic behaviour has included shaving her head, attacking a paparazzo's car with an umbrella and stealing underwear from an adult store.

In January, she refused to return her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline and was taken to a local hospital for psychiatric treatment. She was prevented from visiting sons Sean Preston and Jayden James until the court order was lifted on February 23.
