Paparazzi Gone Wild

Posted Jun 24th 2006 6:00PM by TMZ Staff

Paparazzi are part of the Hollywood game. If you have a new project to plug they can be your best friend, but try and hide a new relationship or a baby bump and they can become your worst enemy.


With millions of bucks on the line, photographers will stop at next to nothing to get the money shot. From climbing trees to swarming celebs, TMZ has video evidence of what happens when the paparazzi goes wild.

Nicole Kidman: Click to watchNicole Kidman

A flashbulb frenzy erupted when the typically private Nicole Kidman greeted paparazzi outside her home in Australia. Down under for her birthday and nuptials to Keith Urban, Kidman sent water and beer over to the photographers. The paparazzi returned the gesture by singing Happy Birthday to the Oscar winner.

Paris Hilton: Click to watchParis Hilton

As the patron saint of paparazzi, Paris Hilton knows how to work it for the camera. Paris, never one to turn down free publicity, was in full promo mode when TMZ shot Paris pulling away from an LA club dancing and singing to her new song "Stars are Blind." Hopefully the cops were too since the heiress wasn't wearing her seat belt - again.

16. Hard to imagine why anyone would care if these celebrity pieces of human sewage live or die.

18. I think paparazzi are sick... stars do not have to be stars every place they go. Paparazzi should respect stars' rights as prive citizens. Similarly, we should respect their careers. But to hold up traffic and trespass means they are breaking laws, and they should not get away with this stuff--and certainly encouraged by publicity prostitutes like Paris Hilton.

19. I feel after some time it must get annoying cameras in your face trying to make everyone happy all the fans , I would think time to time , i would be pissed off , but then again i am a producer/host of a MTV Show in NYC I have no ego I am humble also I am so friendly to people I would love to sign a autograph for a fan I am really so down to earth with people I love the attention though , i wish I had more fans then i do now ,,,,, it's funny how before you are famous your nothing nobody seems to care you have no money you can't find work and even that your even alive and as soon as you become famous everyone wants you and you become so marketable your making millions and companys throw money towards you way to use your image

20. I think they should leave them alone, the pics are ugly, but, honestly, nothing is worse than reading the potty language coming from the previous post on the board. You know which one it is. LOL I'm glad they're npt taking pics of that person's funky self.

I think that Paris Hilton has an ego that could kill an elephant.

21. I think that Angelina and Brad are a disgrace. I can see why Jennifer Aniston didn't want to have children with such an inmature two timing fool. Just imagine if she did have a child and the same thing happened to her (Brad cheating on her). SHe would be a lot worse off right now. I think that Jennifer Aniston is a wholesome pretty, while the rest of Hollywood needs the fake boob jobs and lip enhancements (Angelina) just to try to match what she has. I think that Brad was a fool to have cheated on her. They could have been one of the rare Hollywood couples that could have grown old together. Oh well, some people learn the hard way.

22. They all know the deal when they put their face in front of the cameras. No use fighting them like old Danny Glover did here in London when he got caught with a "lady" on the street in the West End section. He was fighting and cursing the pararazzi for taking his pictures with the "lady". Of course he was mortified at the world seeing what he does at nigh when he was here acting in a play at Riverside Studios. He should be ashamed to be so old still running women like they are toys, then trying to fight photographers. Please keep his sort in America, He is looking quite old and rundown. Too many young wild girls, I reckon.

23. Some celebs want the publicity, some don't. But that is the price for being famous. I have to admit though that the paparazzi has gotten worse with the invasion of privacy. If a celeb is in their home or on their own property, leave them be.

24. Well...It seems to me that no one respects anyone anymore. That's what this all boils down to. Regardless of whether they are stars and knew that this was the path that they chose, there is a point where stalking should be labeled as such. If I were a star, and someone was lurking outside my home...they would be shot on sight. That's how it is in the real world out here. Come to Indiana and try that same stuff...it wasn't that long ago that people were lynched for that type of behavoir. Especially in this state.
Personal space isn't a privelege...It's a right. If there wasn't such a demand, and if people weren't so obsessed with what they saw on television...None of this would be an issue. The stars are JUST PEOPLE. THEY BEND OVER AND USE THE TOILET THE SAME WAY THE REST OF US DO. WE NEED TO QUIT PUTTING THEM ON PEDESTALS OR LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO ROLE MODEL FOR THE REST OF SOCIETY. BRING YOUR KIDS UP WITH SOME VALUES AND MAYBE THIS WOULDN'T BE OCCURRING.

25. Do as I do.
Don't buy the magazines or watch shows like Entertainment Tonight.

26. If the American public didn't have such a lust for the lives of actors the Paparazzi would go away.
Why do people even care about actors ??? Most of them are asses, extremly liberal and, lets face it, they are overpaid, and over privilaged.

None of them are better than you or I, they just make more money and have screwed up lives like the rest of us.

27. These people know what they're getting into when they become "stars". Of course they are going to be photographed, touched, screamed for, whatever. Its pathetic, and you're all stupid for feeling sorry for these people.

I support the paparazzi who are just trying to make money, and crash some star's vehicle (who cares, they can buy a new one to add to their other 5 or 7 cars, or drive to their next "chairity event" which they only support by supporting themselves to get you mindless retards to think that they actually care).


I hate this generation.

28. With fame come paparazzi. Celebrities would be wise to accept this immutable fact and deal with it tactfully. No one has the right to privacy when out in public, and this applies even to, and especially to, the rich and famous. The intelligent way of dealing with this fact is not to deny it but to make the best of it. Wouldn't it be smarter to behave nicely with the photographers and cooperate rather than run away? Won't the pictures come out better?
The late Princess Diana provided the best example of foolish interactions with the paparazzi. She married the Prince of Wales, yet expected privacy when she was out in public. Instead of preparing her children for public life, she made them despise the photographers they will have to deal with almost every day of their lives. As Prince and King, William gets billions of pounds in wealth, including multiple royal palaces. It's not such a tough job--all he has to do is accept his role as a public figure. It's very unfortunate, because Princess Diana did lots of good in her public role, but ultimately she was killed by her own foolishness.
Movie stars, politicians, and other public figures should either embrace their public roles or bow out and find some other vocation. Of course, paparazzi who tresspass or stalk on private property should certainly be arrested. Any paparazzi lawbreaking should be dealt with by our legal system. The subjects of paparazzi photographer, however, would be wise to deal with lawful paparazzi activity in a rational manner.

29. Isn't it funny how the Paparazzi will take Pictures of Britney Spears with her child and get her at bad moments and have Family Services end up being sent to her house...Whats funny about it is that sometimes on my way home from work I stop and get gas and it's 11:30p.m. and I see a bunch of kids about 6 or so years old riding their bikes and smoking cigarettes. What are they even doing out at that time of night? Why doesn't the Paparazzi do some good and take pictures of these kids and have Family Services sent to their parents? So I think they should just leave Britney Spears alone. Anyway her child will have more in life than most of us will ever dream of..............

30. Mattie you are retarded, what the hell are wedding vols, did you mean wedding vows? Well maybe if (I forget her name since she is so unforgetable not being married to Brad Pitt) the chick from Friends, oh yes, Jennifer Hag-iston would have been more interested in making a family and not trying to make something out of her bogus career, she could have held on to her man. It is obvious that a family is what Brad was interested in having adopted Angelina's other two children even before Angelina had conceived.
