Alba to Pap: Don't Be an A-Hole!

76. I agree these celebs should be left alone...BUT when you are a celeb and YOU GO to those famous restaurants where all the paps hang out and you take a stroll down Rodao drive OBVIOUSLY they are going to be there along with people on vacation wanting your picture. I personally dont care about celebs, the few times i have seen 1 I smile and say hi and am on my way. Basically if you want to be left alone and dont want all the aggrivation......Live in Valentine Nebraska NOT LA or Bev Hills.

77. Some of you complained about the fame and fortune that comes with being a celebrity and that if they don't like it, they should get out. If it weren't for celebrities, there would be no movies, TV, music, or anything else we spend hundreds of dollars on to entertain ourselves. Then you would bitch because you were bored. Either shut up and let them entertain us or go live in a convent. As for the paparazzi, they do go too far and there should be laws passed that says they can come no closer than 200 feet of any persons they plan to photograph without written permission.

79. She's probably just pissed off that she's not allowed to smoke anymore because she's pregnant.

80. What was she thinking? Going on Rodeo Drive the Saturday before Christmas and not expecting to get attention? That must be exactly what she wanted. Or she is stupid. I am so disappointed in her - I thought she might be one of the different ones.

81. Those photographers are WAY out of line as we all know...there needs to be a law passed to keep them several feet away...say 100 feet would be good I guess for a start...other wise they'll end up jailed or heavly fined...or giving the victom the right to sue!!!

82. She's pregnant and doesn't need to be stressed out by these jerks.

83. Well, what do the paparazzi freakin' expect?! The woman is in her first, possibly into her second, trimester; it's a VERY hormonal time for any woman, especially a star who gets stalked just taking her trash out, or food shopping! The photogs deserve whatever expletives she can throw at them and THEN SOME! Now she is expecting, they'll hound her relentlessly. These stars know what they "signed up for" but COME ON! Everyone deserves basic human respect and dignity, especially when pregnant.

84. I just find it absolutly RUDE of a lot of people thinking that JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS FAMOUS it gives people the RIGHT to know every thing about their life. How would they like to be hounded like that?? This must stop people, you all (and you know who you are) need to get a life and leave the celeb's. alone, then the pap's. will find some other way to be RUDE and OBNOXIOUS and totaly uncarring of peoples feelings....AND then they have the NERVE to be upset if they are yelled at or hit...me I'd run them over and back up to make sure I did the job right in the first place.

85. Taking pics of a celeb is one thing, getting in the way, and endangering her safety and that of her baby is another. Yes, being famous, getting your pic taken every step you take is part of the game, but get out of her way, let her walk, would you people be downing her if that camera man who was UNDER her had made her fall and something happened to the baby?

86. This is disturbing..... No one deserves to be treated that way. Celebrities have the obligation to deal with a certain amount of scrutiny and publicity but this kind of stuff is just downright rude and should be illegal. All of those photogs should have been arrested.

87. Who should have to live like that? Just leave her alone already.

88. You all are missing the real point here. This was just an advertisement commercial for NISSAN trucks. LOL

89. Hey paps, the girl obviously didn't want to be photographed at that particular time. Leave her alone and let her do her Christmas shopping in peace!
On the other hand, it seems some of the paparazzi were trying to be nice, congratulating her on the baby news and chattily asking if she had any ideas for baby names. She could have been a bit more accomodating--like said "Thanks" to their congratulations and allowed a few tasteful and non-invasive pics.
I don't blame her for cursing at the one that tried to get an unflattering photo of her pregnant belly, though. I would have done the same thing in her position.
Sure, as a celebrity, she's gonna be in the public eye and have people always wanting pictures and autographs...but that doesn't mean her privacy has to be invaded twenty-four/seven, like when she's out and about wandering the streets looking for Christmas gifts or something. What, is In Touch Magazine going to include her in a "Stars--They're Just Like Us" spread? "They go Christmas shopping with their friends." Um...shocker--and really, who cares?

90. These days, how can you pursue a dream in the spotlight without expecting this kind of drama? I'm not saying that the paparazzi are right in the way they handle their jobs - it's obvious they are fueled by some animilistic tendencies - this is true. However, if I were an actor and this was my dream - to be the type of person who stands on a stage, so to speak, well then, how can you expect to not be in the public eye outside of the stage? It frustrates me to think that certain people want to be famous, but only when it is convenient. Again, could the paprazzi be more humanistic in their endeavors? Of course. But, if you are an actor, be prepared for the lifestyle. Never forget that every waking moment will be filled with harsh realities - cost opportunities for getting what you want! Personally, everytime I see an actor hitting a cameraman or fighting or swearing, I lose interest in that person as an actor. If I happen to see a movie or television show with that same person In it, it becomes difficult for me not to remember that I may have just seen them punching someone on the street. Call it a scarlet letter if you will, or at the very least, a stigma of negativity. On the flipside, I understand actors are only human and their threshold for B.S. is probably as short as mine. Nevertheless, as an editor, basically working behind the scenes, and out of the spotlight, I see this type of behavior frequently. So, to all the actors out there - If the paprazzi are not endangering your life - DEAL WITH IT. THIS IS THE PATH YOU CHOSE, AND UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE WAY IT WILL ALWAYS BE. SO INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHANGE OTHERS, CHANGE YOUR OWN PERSPECTIVE ON THE ISSUE, AND FIND A HEALTHY SET OF COPING SKILLS TO MANAGE YOUR LIVES! IN THE END THE ONLY PERSON YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER IS YOURSELF!
