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

The always paparazzi-friendly (ha!) Jessica Alba got royally pissed when one photog got a bit too close on Rodeo Drive yesterday.


TMZ caught the pregnant-yet-dour starlet getting her shop on, ignoring paps as they tried to snap pics of her growing belly. One photog got real close though and attempted to get an unflattering shot from below -- prompting Jessica to cuss him out!

91. All famous people must remember this--You don't gain anything without losing something.

93. 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?

94. 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.

95. 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!

97. Damn! I’d have been ticked too. Hello!!!! What those paps were doing borders on assault. Try sticking a camera where it doesn’t belong around me and see what happens. I’d get physical – in self-defense of course.

As for these actors seeking fame and therefore being deserving of this crap – well that is utter nonsense. The Paris Hilton’s of the world are deserving of it maybe because they court it and are in fact desirous of being confronted by the paps everywhere they go. But Jessica tries to live a fairly quiet life and she has that right, without changing her career path.

Some of you idiots posting on this need to never have children – we don’t want the genepool any more polluted than it already is with you in it!

La Vonda – you probably don’t even have a job, you lazy slob
Stian – you’re just a dumb-a$$
Tamtam – you are a problem, go solve yourself
Roughdaddy – you’re probably some scrawny piss-ant who wears a toupee
she smiled – get a clue you moron

I'm sure there are many more idiots who are posting but I'm done reading your BS

98. Jessica Alba wasn't being an A-Hole, she was being a concerned mother-to-be, that felt a camera was almost up her ass! Please... The paparazzi has been getting out of control lately, and you can tell that many celebs don't want their pics taken, yet the paps are right there, snapping every little photo... Why?? So they can have presidents as their friends, in their pockets.......... Think about it....

100. first of all jessica alba isn't an a'hole she is one of the most beautiful celebs i know....and i would be pissed off too if i was pregnant and a paparazzi shoved a camera in my face when i dont feel like being bothered,,,,,being pregnant is a rough/emotional rollercoaster and its not a pretty site....i know b/c i went through it!!! she is not being an a'hole b/c of a paparazzi is in her face its b/c she doesnt fell good....the first 3 months of a pregnancy is the toughest so how can she be an a'hole when she doesnt feel good???? i would just end up throwing up in the paparazzi's face!!!!

101. Paparazzi is rediculously invasive. My god, to have all that crap in your face everytime you try to go somewhere. No wonder people get rude. They are being just as rude, so, so hwat if someone makes a rude statement to the paprazzi. Good for Jessica. I would not have been able to be that nice watching that whole situation.

102. Some people here are idiots (tamtam...stian). Seriously, harrassment shouldn't be a part of the package. Dealing with people autographs and such is one thing, having photogs getting uncomfortably close is another. Nobody should have to put up with garbage like that or comments like yours. Grow up.

103. I think they should have left her (Alba) alone. I mean she is a celebrity but come on now she was out shopping. How would all of you like it if a camera was shoved in your face or other place every time you walked outside. The press just needs to back off, that is why they schedule press conferences to answer questions and photos. I think it has gotten way out of control and is total BS..............
