Former Iwo Jima Sailor Is Britney’s ‘Manny’

The Associated Press reports Britney Spears’ new bodyguard Perry Taylor, who has been referred to as a “manny”, served in the Navy on the USS Iwo Jima and at the end of his five-year commitment decided to pursue private security jobs, hoping to go to Iraq or Afghanistan as a private contractor. But he ended up doing security work in California. Friends from Taylor’s former hometown of Easton, Maryland were astounded by Taylor’s new career move. “I think we’re all in shock,” said Bill Champion, whose son grew up with Taylor.
