Right/Wrong Way To Deal With Paparazzi

1. >> While it's clear that handling the paparazzi can be a stressful situation, it doesn't take a brainiac - or even a Hilton - to know violence is never the answer <

You've gotta be kidding. Who gives these people the right to stalk them with cameras during their private moments with their families and post online??? You think it's right that Brad and Angelina should have to drape their home in fabric to give them privacy from prying and snoopy photographers?? That a celebrity can't enjoy a latte with a girlfriend or shop in peace ... that the contents of their shopping bags are listed and posted online ?? It's nutz. Our obsession with celebrity is SICK. Anyone who finds that kind of stuff interesting needs to get a life instead of watching someone else live theirs!!! GET YOUR OWN LIFE!!!!

2. At least Ms. Parker has reserve. Others that run up on phtographers and act like they can push, spit, scream, slap, etc., these photogs that are doing their job is just ridiculous. You asked for this busihess and you have to take the good, the bad, the bitter, and the sweet. BUT, I do agree that when it comes to taking pics of a celebrity's child, that is definitely crossing the line. The child didn't ask for this life, the parent did, and photogs should remember and respect that.

5. Note to La Lohan....... You get more flies with sugar than you do with vinager. SJP knows her way around the "photogo beast" and that is why she is respected like she is. She's more willing to give someone a photo op if they ask her first.... SJP is someone that little girls can look up too (unlike Lindsay, Britney, and even Jessica)......Sorry.. the truth does hurt

7. Oh my god! I am so sick of everyone whining about the paparazzi! They need to get paid too! It is a part of the celeb lifestyle and I think they should just get over it already. Granted they may take it too far by photograghing the kids, but they should really expect it. I think we cater to them as it is, so let there be at least one drawback. So stop all your bitching!

9. "hey, you can't handle the lifestyle that you CHOSE then get a new job as an accountant."

that has been an argument used by the paps and tabloids to make themselves immune of attacks. there's room for debating, and there's place for civility even if celebs are going to have their photographs taken. if we can't debate this anymore then we're handing out all control to the media, which by the way doesn't care about US anymore than they do about celebs.

10. "hey, you can't handle the lifestyle that you CHOSE then get a new job "

If this justifies the continual harrassment of celebrities by paparazzi then surely it justifies the occasions when the celebrities strike back. If the paparazzi are whining about the people they stalk turning around and getting angry, maybe they are the ones who should find a less confrontational job. So what if a star hits them? Suck it up, it's part of the job.

11. Yep,# 4 said it all.If you don't like what is being said here then go away. yeah,I think the paparazzi can take things a little too far sometimes but we would'nt be on this web site if they did'nt do their job now would we.Maybe there should be a law that they can only come within so many feet of them.Celebs should'nt have to trip over them getting into their car or something but when your out in public then your just fair game to have your picture taken.

12. I am not even a fan of Britany's, but for Godsake leave her alone. If all the scum bag ppl would stop buying paprazzi trash, then the stars can live a private life. Even tho they chose to achieve stardom doesn't negate them from having a private life. When will it stop? Another Princess Diana? I believe thats what it will take, a life, to make the photogs stop. Yes it is a free country and they are doing their jobs. But where has The Golden Rule gone? Lets put ourselves in a stars place, and see if we like being stalked all day and night. That what it is STALKING! We are all human beings, please paparzzi remember next time you stalk someone.

13. F*** the paparazzi and f*** the people who don't have a problem with them invading every part of someone's life. Yes it's ok to take pictures of celebrities if they are out on the street. Once you start going onto private property, following them around as they shop and eat, that's just rediculous. No one needs to watch anyone that closely. Hell even people on parole/probation don't get watched that closely. While I agree that getting photographed is part of the celebrity life style and something that they should have to endure, the paparazzi shouldn't be so forceful about getting their picutres taken. When a person doesn't have enough room to walk, can't see because of the flashes, can't hear because of the paparazzi shouting, that's a real problem. Let's just put it this way. How would you feel if you had someone stalking you and taking pictures of you every day. Just one person, not a group and they are a stranger you've never met before. Imagine them sneaking around your house, watching your every move. Imagine them taking pictures of your kids and every ugly face you make. Now imagine a group of people like that. How the hell would you feel?

14. Stop yer bitchin... they wanted to be in the spotlight, and they succeeded... deal with the spotlight now.. you're in the publice eye... you have people called paparazzi who take your picture. if you don't like it, don't become famous...the same people watching your movies/concerts/buying cds/dvds/clothing, are the same who buy the magazines... you have pretty much given away most of your privacy once you step in front of the spotlight... celebs complaining about losing their privacy is the most backward thinking... period. better than complaining about being hungry or homelessnes, or cancer... deal with it. if a pap gets hit, that's assault.. control your anger.. or pay..
