paparazzi - why don't celebs get together and hire
their own to go after these annoying paparazzi - track them, photograph them, and dig up dirt on all of the people stalking celebs and publish it - I am sure these people who hunt celebs for tibits of pictures or news for the tabloids have lots of skeletons in their closets - fight back in a way that will let these intruders know what it is like to have your life flashed in public with lies and exaggerations

1. that would not be a solution.
there is papparrazi because there is a demand for photos.Until you eliminate the demand, you cannot eliminate the paparrazi

besides, you're essentially threatening to expose people who the public won't care about, so you accomplish nothing.

2. Not to mention that paparazzi aren't "public figures" under the law
Which means that it's a lot easier for them to defend themselves from libel.

5. I like "your" idea Dilligan,
Edited on Sat Aug-19-06 02:10 PM by OwnedByFerrets
and about the OP, most celebs do NOT mind the publicity, in fact, need it. What would PHilton be without it.
