32. As for the racial comments, they are completely out of line. And as for that Green Day guy that you wrongly accuse WHITE people "seen to love as God", I am white and have never even heard of him. However, I have heard of Taye Diggs and seen his movies and quite frankly, I don't care if he's white or black, because anyone who acts like that needs an ego check. It didn't even say that the guy was a papparazzi, it was a fan asking for an autograph. Stick with the article, this is not a racial issue.

33. The guy said no and no means NO!! Gawd!! This idiot kept bugging and begging for an autograph. NO where in a AMERICA should we be forced to do something like signing an autograph. He has every right to turn this loser down who was only in it for a buck anyhow.

I think taye handled it like a champ. This guy was obviously harrassing him. I would punched dude in the face after telling him NO 15 times!

34. If you don't want to be bothered, then you should probably find another career (if you can even call acting a career)...

Celebrities get paid millions of dollars to be in the spotlight and play pretend, and no matter how much they complain and whine about the hard life they lead, they seem to really enjoy the publicity. Take the cameras and paparazzi away and what do you have? Celebrities who will find another way to have their useless faces plastered everywhere.

Nowadays, celebrity can be summed up quite easily...trash with cash.

35. If you don't want the publicity and the exposure, then perhaps you should find another career (if acting can even be considered a career...)

It gets mighty old hearing about how tough their lives are being hounded by cameras and fans, especially since most celebrities wouldn't know what to do if the limelight were taken from them. I am sure that if the paparazzi and cameras were taken away, most of the celebrity losers would be desperately seeking other ways of getting their face plastered out there...they live for it, despite how much they whine and complain.

Getting paid millions of dollars to play pretend doesn't make you special or really even newsworthy. Hollywood and the average celebrity can be summed up quite easily...trash with cash.

36. I am say good for Taye. He makes a living as an actor, and gets paid well. This does not mean that the public has the right to hound and try to make him feel like he owes anyone anything. He entertains us, and if we think that gives us the right ti expect more, then we have the problem.

Dont we all get paid for the job we do? We wouldnt like to be hounded by some dumb-ass. Imagine how many times a day they (stars) get stopped by all kinds of weirdos.

Good for you Taye!!! That guy WAS AN OBNOXIOUS PUNK!!
Autographs are a gift and you are lucky if you get one. They dont owe you their signature.

38. That guy was out of line. Taye doesn't need to sign 50 pictures just so he can just sell them and make money off of them. If Taye's fans, like myself, want an autograph from him, we can save our money and write to him ourselves.

Come back to Broadway, Taye. We're nicer.

39. he sells them in bulk to a autograph dealer,,,hes the middle man,,,,he gets around $5 bucks an autograph for anybody thats not banned or blacklisted (to many in stock),that could be B,C,D,F stars,,,,the A stars dont get banned to much ,,,,he could make alot of money if they keep signing ,,,,

43. If he walked up to me and introduced himself I wouldnt know who he was. Shut the hell up Taye you damn whiner.

44. As for people who say that, "celebrities should stop complaining about being so famous, it comes with the territory..." they need to think again. An actor signs up to WORK. That's it. It's everyone else that makes a big scene. Don't get mad at the celebrity who can't even get to their car without being attacked. Blame all those people who have nothing better to do with their time then bother others for their own selfish wants.

Are you kidding!!!! You sound like you work for him...If you don't like being famous and being paid millions of dollars then pack your sh*t up and get out of acting otherwise shut the hell up and do what ever other actor has to do, suck it up and go home to your million dollar house. It is part of there job to keep fans happy w/ out us they are nothing...

45. Is Taye a little pissy another of his sitcoms got the axe? Jesus dude don't take it out on the people who pay your salary! Dumb dingdong twit.
