76. This has gone way to far. Are pictures really worth getting a beat down???

77. We are your clients and we say ENOUGH! Leave these new parents alone. There is nothing as fragile as a newborn baby. Liev was just doing what any father should and must do. You should be ashamed of yourselves. If TMZ doesn't distance itself from these paps behavior, I might just be the beginning of a public demanding prosecutors to start prosecuting these paps.

78. #70 You are completly correct!

Leave the kid at home, its not like the child is enjoying the ambiance. Screaming babbies really ruin an evening out.

If my well behaved dog cannot sit at the table with me, than neither should your kid. At least my dog is potty trained!

79. Kim - Get over yourself! of course celebrities expect a certain amount of publicity and press. And they know they are held accountable publicly for every move they make. Get real.
Who are the photographers and Paparazzi held accountable too? No One. They are paid, Very well I might add to get the Money shot. Even if they have to fabricate it for themselves. No matter what injury they may cause. One of these days someone will get seriously hurt do to this. And you know what, again it will be the celebrities fault.

I also doubt that the baby knows what the gesture means - so what. I'm sure that the photogs "taunting" was not profane either.

Why in the world is Shiloh - Jolie Pitt important to Paparazzi? Who cares about Suri Cruises first Bowel movement, and Why is a shot of Baby Shriever worth harrassing the parents in this way???? Other than the "Oooooh what a beautiful Baby moment, Leave the children alone. They haven't had a chance yet. I don't worship any celebrities, and quite frequently laugh at there stupidity. But make no mistake about it, Paps are bottom feaders, who will resort to most any means to get (or make up and stage) What they need.
Celebrities are attention whores who would rarely pass on a chance to expose themselves to publicity, meaning they are more than willing to deal with the Paps and even pose for them. But there is a line of human decency that is totally ignored , when you shove a camera down someones blouse, up a skirt or in a babies face. Thats what pisses me off.

80. Prince Harry summed it up beautifully in the Matt Lauer interview when he said, The Press is not interested in who we are as people, or what we do. They will portray us in a manner they want us to be, to sell there news.

This is exactly the same thing. Wow, Two famous actors are in a relationship and have a baby. They Go out to have a very normal dinner, and are confronted with photographers, some of which got to close for the new fathers comfort, he starts protecting his newborn.
And now... hmmmm , The parents are the Bad Guys.... Wow thats the headline.

What good parent anywhere would let strangers do what the photographers did without permission? Only bad ones would. Tmz May try to spoon feed us into believing that The parents are the bad guys, but it is clear to me who is at fault.

81. Liev is a papa bear protecting his kid. More power to him.

The paps are roaches. Kill them off, they're not missed. But they never go away.

82. There is a picture in People magazine of a happily SMILING Naomi Watts holding her 2 week old baby so a photographer can get a picture of the two of them. So what was the big change of heart, now Naomi gives the photogs the finger AFTER smiling so sweetly for other photogs and getting her and her baby's photo in People? Something fishy here, and I'll bet it has everything to do with how Naomi looks when the photogs appear. And Liev has certainly been a happy "victim" of the paps himself for years, but suddenly they both go bazonkers this one time? As for Liev loving his baby so much he doesn't want to let paps take pictures of it, well, that doesn't fly in light of the photo of SMILING Naomi and their 2 week old baby in People magazine. Guess the paps now have to have a working crystal ball to see when these idiot celebutards are in the mood for a picture. Just because they are all smiles one day, doesn't mean they won't go bonkers on paps the next! Stupid snotty celebebutards, more money than brains AND they are reproducing!

83. I think that it's become retarded how photogs swarm, taunt, and constantly photograph these people, celebrities. These celebs are surely entitled to private lives, as we all are, BUT - when they signed up to become actors, or singers, or whatever and became famous, rich beyond their wildest dreams, and pampered with all kinds of access, then I say too bad. Also, when THEY and their PR machines/the studios/record companies want to promote their latest projects, they use all the press they can to get themselves even more fame, wealth, and access. If you don't want your picture taken, don't become famous!!!

84. If it had been just Liev and Naomi the paps would've had every right to photograph them. They're movie stars in a public place, they know that goes with the territory. But a child? He didn't ask to be born into that madness, just give the new family a little privacy.

85. There should be laws for this- that's downright disgraceful! Good for Liev! Granted they are celebrities, but who really cares where they have lunch- there's much more important things going on in the world!

86. What a bunch of jerks these paparazzi are. I know that if you are in public, then anyone can take your photo if they like, but they need to make some laws regarding these guys. It's getting friggan ridiculous, and it seems that it is getting worse week after week. It would have been great had he knocked one of them out!

87. WHATEVER! HE LOOKS LIKE A MEAN JERK ANYWAY. WHAT HAS HE DONE LATELY EXCEPT LIVE OFF OF NAOMI'S MONEY. HE'S A NO BODY HIS 15 MINUTES OF FAME WERE UP A LONG TIME AGO. HE SHOULD BE LUCKY SOMEONE WANTS TO GET A PHOTO OF THEIR LITTLE BLOB.

88. Well, Anne, if Naomi had already posed for paps in an agreeable manner, like she did for a people magazine photo with her 2 week old baby, maybe Liev's behavior could be justified. But how ARE the paps supposed to know when these two don't want photos taken of the kid when there are already photos of the kid in magazines with the baby's mother looking quite pleased. These two need a reality check, Liev hasn't done much that can even be remembered (In Showtime's "Spinning Boris," GREAT actor Anthonly LaPaglia and quirky loveable Jeff Goldblum carried the ever comatose Liev on their shoulders (figuratively speaking) through the entire movie!) and Liev can be easily replaced in anything he does do, he is rather boring and forgettable. If it's a career he wants, he needs the paps. And yeah, maybe he is venting at them because his girlfiend has a more successful career. As for Naomi, this mother didn't even know where her baby was, LOL, and she is flipping off the paps AFTER she has appeared with the baby in People AND obviously enjoyed being photographed for that? Prozac anyone???

89. Supposedly, the paparazzi are photographing what celebs are doing in public; but a lot are now threatening and abusing celebs so they can film the ensuing fracas. I agree with a previous comment; "make it legal to attack the pappos'

90. Papparazzi are pathetic. Is there anyone out there who even wants the type of shots they get through this type of aggressive, anti-social behaviour? There should be laws against this type of thing. Even famous people have a right to a quiet meal with friends and family.
