So, we have idiots with cameras taking pictures of famous idiots, and selling the shots to idiots with gossip rags, which are enjoyed by idiots everywhere. Sounds like a perfect system to me. Carry on.

Yeah so when someone wants to be an asshole, you should let them be an asshole until they get tired of screwing with you and move on. Great plan.

I totally understand it when stars snap and grab the camera and start photographing paparazzi back.

i had an idea to get every hipster with a dslr to rent lenses from samys and get 20-30 bunch of em hips across the street from the ivy preteding to wait for some star. then we suddenly run off all together to some other location nearby as if we got some tip on some better people to shoot at shitty stores like kitson. then we'll run around more and lie to the real papz that britney is at roscoe's and we're all going there. but too bad i already moved out of the country. i wish someone could continue my plan.

I agree, Elise. It will never end with them. When it comes to kids, you'd think that's where you leave them be, but it's always been the complete opposite. The kids are the money shot. These celebri-tots will most likely grow up paranoid and insecure, feeling as though their every move is being recorded and broadcast by heartless soul-suckers.

I dont know. People seem to have an insatiable desire for Brad and Angelina. Nothing against SJP, but people aren't as interested. They will never leave Brad and Angelina alone. I feel bad when I see photos and the kids seem scared. I'm impressed by their calm demeanor - they never seem to stress out, and hopefully that calm sends a message to the kids to relax too.
