    Default How would you feel if you were being followed around by the paparazzi?

    So I lived in Hollywood before..and I'm not that far away either now-a-days..
    Anyways, since it seems like entertainment now-a-days that paparazzi follow around celebs......and that makes a tv show

    Would you like to be famouse and being followed around by the paparazzi every day, ever moment, ever step you take, every move you make including taking a shit? They're getting that good at invading celebrities profiles...

    How would you feel if you were being followed around by the paparazzi?

    In to many cases the celebs who make the most effort to complain about it are the same people SMSing their schedules to the paps to increase their press exposure. I have sympathy for those who have celebrity thrust upon them (relatives, etc.) but anyone voluntarily entering the public eye knows precisely what to expect. It's part of the job description - you can't take a job as a mailman and the complain about all the early mornings and long walks, and you can't solicit public attention and then complain when people try and find out stuff about you.

    Arrgh, I'd freaking hate it... I prefer the dark corners of solitude... that would just be too annoying. But as Mindgames said, if you take the job, you know what's coming.

    when i was working for jackie treehorn i would occasionally have to deal with the paps... i found a good sense of humor and treating them nice got better results when i would ask them not to photograph or video my boss... occasionally i had to "talk" louder... but grandma always said "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar..." or was it vaseline? ... or maybe astroglide....

    I don't really mind what people know or see when they're not threatening forceful intervention of some kind. I think I'd be bothered only if they were capturing me doing things that'd get me in legal trouble.

    Dude, Johnny, you use to work for Jackie too? No way! Very few people know it, but I was in Log Jammin! I played "Der Dispatcher" I got to fuck Bunny too.

    Seriously though, I can't see much desire to be in that much public limelight. Especially since I do so much stupid shit that I'd just be fueling the poparazi.

    I would be pretty boring. There's only so much time anyone could watch me read, drink coffee or smoke.

    I thought Jackie Treehorn was just a character in the Big Labowski, I didn't know he was a real guy.

    I must admit I can be a bit self centered and do like attention but I think being followed around constantly would get pretty annoying pretty quickly. Especially if you were getting asked the same few questions over and over again.

    There is a service in I think New York where regular (well-off) folks can hire paparazzi to follow them for a while to see what it feels like.

    I have to echo some of what Mindgames said and agree that many of the celebs who complain about how mobbed they are by paparazzi are the exact same ones whose publicist just got off the phone with Warner subsidiary TMZ.

    I think are situations where some famous people get sucked into that privacy invasion against their will. The most common is when you get someone like a Britney Spears whose manager family got the paparazzi interested in her and, once magazines found that humiliating her paid, couldn't get away from them. (Not dating one might have helped though.) The most extreme example was when Ben Affleck, who didn't want to be harassed, was dating Jennifer Lopez, who sent out a press notice every time she left her house.

    I think that, as a society, we need to figure out what some acceptable boundaries are. I think it is pertinent if a public figure who holds office,and agitates against gay rights, gets arrested in a bathroom soliciting gay sex. I do not think it is pertinent if an actor, whose job is assuming a particular role on-screen to entertain, goes to a gay bar one night with friends.

    In the age of the internet, almost everyone has some bit of themselves publicly accessible. That does not mean they are all public figures and deserve no privacy of any kind.

    Jackie Treehorn isn't real. It was a joke.

    Unless I'm just an idiot and there really is someone he worked for named Jackie Treehorn. I dunno.

    well, I suppose I could make a lot of money endorseing products shamelessly while they followed me around to the hardware store or wherever.

    I'm sort of boring to the average person who wants what the papperazi is selling

    Most people are. The papperazi's job is to make people think the celebs are exciting by making them look constantly drunk or drugged out.

    I don't think exciting's the right word..........never could figure out exactly what thier 'purpose' is (in the whole cosmic equation of life the universe and everything)

    I think people should keep in mind, its not about having your picture taken.

    Paparazzi mob you, they sit outside your house, rifle through your garbage, stand outside your front door, back door, surround your car... and for the most part, do so 24/7. Get drunk and fuck an ugly girl? Paparazzi snap it. Have a wedgie? Paparazzi snap it. And they are allowed to!

    Agreed. I'm glad at least one other person on the planet seems to think that people deserve some small amount of privacy. I'm so sick of hearing people say that someone 'deserves' to be harassed all the time because they dared to be an Actor/Musician/Celeb.

    have you seen the paprazzi, a bunch of bearded fat guys
    the pictures they sell to mags will be used in unflattering articles about whos obese/anorexic/slut/cheater/drunk/drugaddict/etc
    a cashed up harrassed celebrity should get photos of the paparazi and the staff of the magazines that buy the pics and distribute them in the same unflattering way

    Jackie Treehorn is not real...

    i was using his name in place of the REAL name of a man i worked for... another famous known pornographer... we used "treehorn" as an alias just for fun because the boss got a kick out of it and loved the movie big lebowski....

    And another thing, why do all these retards chose to live within 5 square miles of one another?

    Really? Should I be obligated to shoot/dig up an unflattering photo of every person I photograph in a flattering way? Just because someone has been immortalized in an attractive way, does that mean they deserve to also be immortalized in an unattractive way to even things out somehow?

    None of us are as ugly as our worst photo or as beautiful as our best.

    Agree that there are/should be limits, but it'll never be possible to agree, nor to stop the press pushing them, because every case is different. In Europe the concept of privacy is better-defined than in the US, and in the UK it's better-defined than in Europe, but we still get court hearings every few weeks. The Max Moseley case shocked the paps into stepping back a bit, but still didn't set any rules. You can publish stuff if it's "in the public interest", but you can only define that by showing the public what you got.

    Good idea. That would certainly change the equation in an entertaining fashion, if nothing else.
