Paparazzi: A Malibu Headache

Posted Jun 14th 2006 10:15AM by TMZ Staff

Mel Gibson / Britney Spears Internet reports have surfaced that Britney's neighbor Mel Gibson has decided to sell the multi-million mansion he purchased last year in order to escape the onslaught of paparazzi and fans that have taken over the neighborhood.

Mel's not the only Malibu resident irritated by the influx of paparazzi. A local shop tells TMZ that the paparazzi is the worst it's ever been and its starting to wear on the residents of the seaside town. Employees at a nearby restaurant commented that they have seen the paparazzi swarming around town -- mostly just getting in the way.

Is Mel Gibson a sign of the times in Malibu? Or will the paparazzi posse fade into the dunes? For the residents of Malibu, we hope the latter will happen.

Calls to Mel Gibson's publicist were not returned.

1. Maybe Mel and the rest of the neighbors should take up a collection and offer to buy Brittany her own trailer park. Send her packing and then Mel and his neighbors can have their lives back.

2. The funniest thing is that, hasn't these young stars ever heard of having a driver?You pay them a good wage (which they can afford) and you don't have to worry that your going to break the law. If Brittany had a driver, then her worries would be over, 'cause the paparazzi are waiting for her to screw up. Without the chance of her doing something stupid there just might be less paparazzi and the neighbours might not want to flee...Having been employed with a family who had a driver,it is such a great way to get around. The driver is there early in the morning, they'll help you with your belongings, drive you where you need to go, they'll wait nearby and when you want to move onto the next place or go home, they come pick you up. It's so simple...

6. Malibu just needs another good, hard mudslide. It drives the paprazzi out like rats.

7. I love how you feigned concern for Malibu with the "we sincerely hope the paparazzi stay out of Malibu" line. I seriously doubt we'll see you withdrawing from the town any time soon.

8. Mel... Your the only one I know who could and did turn a FILM ICON into a PISS ANT.The only one who could snatch Disaster from the Jaws of Success.I think it`s time for a WALKABOUT for you. The Outback may find you new friends,but I doubt it.Hopefully you would become part of the FOOD CHAIN out there. See Ya T
