166. I wouldn't be surprised that if their parents were killed, the paps would be at the funeral shoving cameras into their face saying "come on, cry for the camera... we get more money for grieving shots". Dopes say "they chose this when they became celebrities", but where is the line drawn? Should the press be allowed to follow them into bathroom and film them taking a dump? I'm sure celebrities know that fame means they have to give autographs out on the street or have people come up to them while eating in restaurants, but come on... as human beings don't they get a break for some privacy during a traumatic time in their lives?

167. The DUffs, Hiltons, Spears, etc are all rich because of their fame, but (A) that was hardly a beat down - I would have done much worse, (2) a lot of them are just wealthy losers (esp Spears/Hilton) but they are nowhere near the level of the a-holes that follow them around everywhere they go. TMZ & their ilk should be ashamed. They can't even go to their parents' divorce proceedings withouts these chumps harrassing them. And the self-righteousness of the paprazzi ("Did you just curse?") - Yeah, and f**k you and the horse you rode in on you camera-weilding leech POS.

168. Does anyone else think that maybe TMZ is encouraging this kind of behavior from photographers. They're the ones paying for these videos, and people like us are the ones who watch . . . including me, I'm ashamed to say. I think I won't click on anything TMZ anymore.

169. This should have been consider stalking. The photogs were going too far. I don't blame the bodyguard for ruffing that guy up.

170. As a news videographer who has been roughed up before, that was not a roughing up. That was an assault. And their lawyer should have charges pressed against him. Plus that cop was in dereliction of his duty. They were in a public place where cameras are allowed. Unfortunate that for those poor Duff sisters, that the plan to sneak them into the courthouse was discovered.

171. I thought this was highly invasive. There should be some respect when famous people are out and about on personal stuff. At an event, sure it is probably fair game, but I don't think we should see every moment of these people's lives.

172. First I feel sorry for these girls. Why should they have to stay home because the photogs are morons? This was obviously something serious that needed them to be there and they couldn't even be left to that. It's just a matter of time till they screw with a disturbed or a star that's drug induced and they get seriously hurt or killed. It's not impossible... Sid Vicious murdered long time girlfriend Nancy and he actually liked her. Maybe then they'll learn to leave them alone.

173. I think if a person doesn't want their picture taken the we all should respect that. How would you feel if you had a people in your face all the time. We all need to remeber that celebs are people to.

174. ok, this is for anyone from the Houston area... Is that Isaiah Carey from Fox 26 news?? If so, what the HELL is wrong with him?!?!? Has he lost it or what???

175. Hilary and Haylie deserve their privacy. I wish that I was dating Hilary. :(

176. The difference is- these are NOT paparazzi, but supposed REPORTERS from a Houston news station.

That is NOT Journalism. What happened to actual journalistic integrity? That guy supposedly won an emmy?
What a dirtbag,

They should fire his ass.

177. 6. Please, if you don't want anyone in your business, stay the hell at home.
When the hell will the fake little tartletts learn.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! They went to the litigation of their parents' divorce....it's not like they were out shopping on Madison Ave or something. Unbelievable.

178. Nice one thanks the for the good info!!!!!!!

179. oh my gosh...Hilary is still a good person even though she swore, kids.

To be quite honest, I would have swore too if I had to go through that.

There's a difference b/tw taking a photo, crossing the line, and just plain being an overpungent psycopath of a stalking paparazzo.

(I bet 'paparazzi' is French for 'pain in the @$$')
