Anti-paparazzi handbag prevents celeb photos

An anti-paparazzi handbag has been designed which could help celebrities who don't want to see pictures of themselves, staggering out of a nightclub, splashed across a magazine cover.

Designer Adam Harvey claims his bags prevent paparazzi from taking photos by creating a glare in their lens to obscure the star.

It works by using a extra-bright LED which is triggered by a light detector, meaning that whenever the photographers flash goes off so does the one on the handbag.

This creates a white glare which is big enough to cover most of the celebrity ... if only Britney had been holding one when she got out of that car without any underwear.
