Celebrity Feuds
Right/Wrong Way To Deal With Paparazzi

Posted Jun 15th 2006 1:38PM by TMZ Staff

Sarah Jessica Parker has become the latest celebrity to exchange words with the hounding paparazzi -- but this time, the pleas of a celebrity actually worked.

While walking with her son, James Wilkie, in New York on Tuesday, Parker, frankly yet politely, asked the surrounding photogs, "Could you please not take pictures of me and my child?" Remarkably, Parker's request was granted and the paparazzi, heads down, quietly walked away.

While SJP demonstrated a reserved way of getting the paparazzi to leave her alone, other celebs have chosen to use the more volatile Sean Penn method.



Wednesday photographer Anthony Goodrich filed a police report alleging that Bruce Willis assaulted him by smashing his camera into his face while the star entered West Hollywood restaurant Koi. A spokesman for Willis denied the allegations, saying that at no time did Willis "hit, push or hurt" a photographer.

In April, Jude Law chose to flex his Hollywood muscle on an intrusive photographer, when he caught the cameraman filming him, his ex-wife Sadie Frost and their three kids in LA. Law bitch-slapped the photographer's camera before lashing out: "You don't film my f***ing children!"

Even shutterbug queen Lindsay Lohan has a breaking point. Earlier this week, the teen sensation screamed at photogs when they wouldn't stop snapping pics of her and her friends through the glass window of a NY restaurant.

With paparazzi being part of the Hollywood game, other publicity-prone celebs - knowing which side their bread is buttered - have actually chosen to embrace the photographers.

In May, everyone's favorite "Ghost Whisperer" Jennifer Love Hewitt came to the aid of a fallen photographer by asking for a hug before remarking "You have to be careful."

Tuesday night, Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis showed up to Hollywood hotspot Hyde bearing hats for all the waiting paparazzi. Probably not the worst way to get on their good side.

Even Paris Hilton - who could single-handedly employ a nation of paparazzi - kept a calm and cool composure signing autographs as fans (young and old alike) and photographers swarned her SUV in New York on Tuesday.

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.

16. If they didn't want to be followed by the paparazzi in the first place, they should have never gotten their stupid faces on the t.v. Am I right?

17. Of course you want to say violence is not the answer. You guys don't want to get your nosy asses kicked!

18. 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!!!!

Obviously you are reading this, and you had to be looking at pictures on here. So, you eat up the good that the paparazzi has to offer, why else would you be on this site?

19. OH POOR POOR CELEBRITIES! THEY WANT THE ATTENTION BUT ONLY WHEN IT WORKS FOR THEM! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE EVER GOTTEN INTO THE BIZ! TRY & REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A NOBODY & WOULD DO ANYTHING TO GET A MENTION IN THE RAGS!!!! STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

20. Hey if it were not for the photogs, this site would probably be non-existent. Just remember that when you are browsing this site or flipping through a People magazine.

21. To person angry about photos of celebrities - one question - why are you on this site then if you find the pictures so so wrong?

The money these people get paid comes at a price. They dont have to be famous, they fought hard to get there - and I'm sure they know that they will be photographed. Its their choice.

22. Becoming famous isn't a choice. If it was you'd all be famous right now. Violence goes both ways. The celebrities and the paparazzi need to grow up and act mature. Celebrities, don't hit. Paparazzi, don't stalk.

24. i think that SJP is a wonderful person. i truly love her and every thing that she does. she is so orginal. she seem to have a wonderful way about her. i think that every one should take a few lessons from her

25. #13...I would love the paparazzi all over me, especially if i had the bank account to go with it. If someone said "i'll give you 20 million dollars, and a future movie contract, but you have to have the paparazzi hounding you." I'LL TAKE IT"
plus I'm not so bad lookin'....it would be a nice way to waste film.
I think Paris Hilton would not be as famous if it wasnt for the paparazzi, i would use them to my advantage like she did.
But that's just me. he he

26. seriously... i'm a new pap.. great job.. photograph.. sell.. celebs (the ones who don't need more money) hate you.. upcoming celebs love you... either way, I'm selling a shot.. I wait countless hours, only to get a celeb doing whatever they can to not give me a shot.. I take a few shots, I leave.. on to the next mark.. some paps don't get enough... maybe they take bad pics and want every possible angle.. they follow the celeb and shoot until it's really annoying... but they get their pics.. it's a two-way street.. if both parties were more cooperative, celebs gave a few shots, paps took a few and let them be.. this argument would be over.. when one celeb screws me after i wait 8 hours for a shot.. you better believe the next one is gonna get hosed until i'm done.. shooting kids should go under the same law as modeling.. if the parents do not consent, they can't be published for money (at least blur them out).. celebs are just mad because they fake like they're this perfect being, and paps show that they're slobs like the rest of us...

27. Let's see....who will Lindsey fight with next?? How bout Shannon Doherty??? Now thats a powder keg in the midst of exploding if that ever happened and you know one of them will be walking out of that and it isnt going to be that spoiled brat underaged drunk ....

28. The real movie stars and celebs with talent don't go out everywhere like attention hounds. Give me a break - with that kind of money and hoardes of minions to do their every bidding, why do they need to be at the supermarket looking horrible with no makeup? The no talents are generally the ones getting all the play because they want it, plain and simple. And we shouldn't fuel it by buying the rags and keeping them in business. Cheers to REAL stars who know we don't want to get sick to death of them and their overexposure!
