Jen, Liv and Uma Push Back at Paps

Halloween is a day for the ghoulish and garish, but it was the paparazzi who were especially scary yesterday, pushing two of Hollywood's sweetest mommies -- Jennifer Garner and Liv Tyler -- to the edge in New York.


Garner was out for a walk with baby Violet on the Upper West Side, when a couple of photogs got right up in Violet's face, forcing Jen to give them a stern stiff arm.

Later on, Liv Tyler brought the kids home after a night of trick-or-treating in the West Village, only to find shooters crawling all over her stairs. After demanding that they scram, Liv was polite enough to thank them for not trespassing on her property.

But it was a couple of Uma Thurman's youngsters who truly knew what's what, feeding the flashers a series of raspberries before retreating into a Manhattan house, following the lead of Mama Uma.

They want their pictures taken when they are on the job. That IS part of their job.

Here's when you know they are on the job:

They are on the red carpet;
They are dressed up and looking good;
They call you to tell you they are ready for their photo op;
They appear at camera calls;

And *ding* *ding* here's the biggest hint of all:

THEY ARE SMILING AT YOU and not trying to slap the camera out of your grubby little fingers.

The rest of of their time belongs to them...just like their faces. If you want to see them up close, sit in the front aisle at the theater.

17. First of all, none of these scenes was a "to the edge" moment. Mama bears protects their cubs, bottom line. The ONLY way this is going to stop, is if entities such as you, TMZ!!!, cease putting this type of photos and video on your site. Call it off, if you folks don't print it, they won't shoot it!!
How can you elude that you are not supporting the "paps" by calling them "especially scary" and still put the video on your site? Maybe we readers need to boycott your advertisers until you quit stop supporting this type of situation!!

18. OMG JEN IS SUCH A pathetic mother putting her child in danger. CAN'T SHE JUST STAY HOME FOR ONCE. MAYBE BEN SHOULD JUST FILE FOR SOLE CUSTODY OF HER AND BASH HER TO TMZ.

19. There are alot of people who visit this site. You would think that collectively they could
track down Harvey's address, then publish it all over the net. Track his day to day goings,
follow every member of his family, delve into his history (legal track record, arrests, school records, etc). The "wealthy" could offer "rewards" for the information. Obviously, there are no laws prohibiting same, as evidenced by this site. And the "Paps" would feel safer, although
there would still be some that would quiver at the thought of being bitch slapped by a midget...especially the one on TV who recently wailed "The bad celebrity twisted my arm and caused an owie. WHAAAAAA!

20. Way to go Moms! Give the papparrazi a shove when they get too close to the kids! Those idiots need to be reminded to mind the Momma Bear Instinct!

24. #16 - To OCD - Love your posts - couldn't agree with you more. rotten predators?
When a mom (Any Mom) is unable to go trick or treating with there kid on Halloween without being HUNTED it is getting ridiculous.About a month ago TMZ posted a story of Brad Pitt taking Maddox for a Hot Dog in Manhatten.... Ok when did buying a hot dog become a storY? But Brad had the Audacity to ask the photographers to use a zoom lens and let him get a hot dog. It's pretty sad when a parent has to beg not to be stalked. What are we actually waiting for, we know what happened to Princess Diana... And there is no way anyone can convince me the Paps did not contribute to the crash. New Legislation anyone?

25. How DARE you bloodsuckers stalk children.

26. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! These are mom's just trying to take their kids trick or treating like every other child in america does on Halloween and they cannot do it without the paps respecting that or their space!!! Ridiculous!!!! These are children with decent parents who desearve to be allowed that time and space without you blood hounds in their faces!!! I would rather not see any pic's of these celebs with their children in you magazines in websites if it means you sparing those children that treatment.
THE PAP'S ARE GETTING OUTRAGEOUS
LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE!!!!
THEY DID NOTHING WRONG

27. Oh, and another thing to all of you who are accusing Jennifer of putting her kid in danger, WTF???? Seriously??? What do you see her do??? She takes her daughter to the park, out to lunch, trick or treating!!!!! Same things I do with my kids and if you have kids you do it too!!!! Why the hell should she not have that same right? Because she makes movies???? Bull!!! Perhaps, you that are insulting her and other mom's are bit jealous because you are not making money like they do?? I for one certainly, as a military spouse do not make that kinda money. But, MAMA BEARS ARE MAMA BEARS!!!!! BACK AWAY FROM THE CHILDREN!!!!! IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE MONEY BY HARRASSING CHILDREN THAN YOU TRUELLY ARE A LOSER!!!!

28. The overbearing paps need to be arrested for assault and laws instated that you have to stay 100 yards away. If you cannot behave safely then you need to be lawfully kept as safe distant. LONG LENS are the future for TMZ!!!!

29. What's with the misleading headlines? "Jennifer Garner Flips Out"? Um, she barely acknowledged the idiots harrassing her child. I would hardly call it flipping out. If she actually did flip out I'm thinkin' there would be paps with broken bones and bruises.

30. If a strange person came up in my child's face/space, they'd get more, much more than a "stiff arm".
