Director Chris Marrs Piliero talks about working with Brit and his favorite scene from the fun clip. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Hugh Swingle Britney Spears in her “I Wanna Go” music video Photo: Jive Britney Spears looks like she’s having a blast in her new “I Wanna Go” video . It’s full of fun pop-culture references and has Brit seeking vengeance against the paparazzi . Now, the director of the kitschy clip, Chris Marrs Piliero, has opened up about working with the pop megastar. “Meeting Britney for the first time was really rad. She was really cool. I don’t think anyone has the right to be a diva, but there are some artists out there, they’ve been in the game long enough [that] if any one of those artists … might have the permission to be a diva, she definitely has earned it — and she wasn’t whatsoever,” he told the MTV Buzzworthy blog . So what’s Spears like? “She’s super polite; she’s ridiculously polite. She’s soft-spoken,” he said. “She’s really cute. The way she talks and interacts, you want to hug her. She was super professional, super game. … It was rad. It was awesome working with her. She’s a rad chick.” Another highlight of the shoot for Piliero was working with “Weeds” star Guillermo Diaz on one of the final scenes. In the last part of the video, Spears and the actor are riding in a convertible in the desert as Brit dances around. Diaz displays his comedic chops by doing things like pouring milk all over himself. “It was definitely a funny moment of the shoot. We let the cameras roll, and the reaction that you see from Britney is definitely a genuine reaction,” the director recalled. “When I was going through the footage, I loved the way that she responded. It’s so genuine and so funny. It’s perfect [and] it definitely is a perfect description of how we all felt about that scene.” Let us know what you think of Britney’s “I Wanna Go” video in the comments!
