You know what? I understand that the paparazzi are just doing their job. They’re trying to make their living just as much as any of the rest of us are. And on top of that, their jobs exist to feed the fans like us who want to see photos of celebrities.
And I ‘ll never stop wanting to see the photos. I definitely prefer when Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Maddox, Pax, Zahara, and Shiloh are photographed with longer lenses so that the cameras aren’t right up in everyone’s face. I also prefer candid shots where photographers aren’t doing things like screaming “Hey Shiloh! Look over here!” at the top of their lungs.
But my goodness, some of them are just really invasive. As always, you can count on TMZ to be on the scene for anything and everything, and they managed to catch this video footage of Angelina Jolie trying to leave Marino restaurant the other day (in her beautifully bright yellow dress), and the security team has to ask the swarm of photographers to move back over and over. Even then, after Angelina gets in the car, the driver then has to lay on the horn so that everyone will move. The photo above appears to have been taken by an intelligent photographer who got the shot from the side, but alas, the others just kept crowding to the front.
I wonder if it’s worth it for the risk of getting (accidentally) run over. I hope they’re at least paid well.
Also, I really don’t know how Brad and Angelina and other celebrities handle the constant chaos. I’m a very friendly person overall but sometimes I’m just not feeling social, especially with a bunch of people I don’t know and I think I’d burst an artery if I was in a crabby mood and had to face a throng of people flashing cameras at me and screaming my name. I’m honestly not all that surprised when celebrities freak out and break cameras or shove photographers sometimes, and I offer up huge kudos to the celebrities who don’t.

Angie, take care! cant believe they are pushing it to the limit wiith a heavily preganent lady…. it is dangerous business…
:(
hello everybody!!!
i’m afraid when i see pics like these and i feel coupable sometimes.
i admire the calm of angie, if i was in the same place, i would scream!!!
i think that this kind of non-respect happens only when they are in NY or LA (fortunately)!
in france and belgium there is some laws about that: in fact, these laws are about the respect of private life: when a star is photographed with her kids at the beach (for example) and that the pics are in some magazines, she can lodge a complaint against the tabloid. the tabloid loose a lot of money and don’t buy anymore the private pics of this person. and if nobody buy the pics, the papz don’t take them!
i think a law must be adopted in usa, to protect the kids. we, fans, would be sad to see no more pics of the JP’kids, but we’ll survive! i think we are all happier to see pics who were taken from a long distance than close pics, cause we immediaty think “poor child” or “poor angelina”
It is disgusting the way they behave. I think they do it more with Angie than other celebs. Some of the pictures, looks like she is about to be knocked into the bushes. Surely they would get better quality pics if were 5 or 6 steps in front, instead of 1 or 2.
We as fans do feed it, but we would still appreciate less brutality, towards pregnant a woman and her children. I have seen the pictures of Jessica, Gwen and even Halle, Jennifer Lopez and Cate were not treated like that. They were more appreciative of them as human beings and showed consideration.
It seems that LA and NY have a different caliber of paps than anywhere else.
Yeah, I wonder if having a law about stalking people just to take photos would help. I’m kind of surprised that there isn’t one already.
We fans are attracted to Brangelina photos but its not like we demand them. Sure we’ll be more inclined to buying a magazine with them on it but we fans are perfectly fine with candid long lens shots. We don’t need the up close ones.
I blame the tabloids for this. I know everybody needs to make money but you can do it honestly and not through lies and photos 1 inch away.
I wonder if its possible to start a protest and have a law made about taking pictures of other people’s kids without permission.
It is crazy how the paparazzi has become so invasive. Yes, they have a job to do, and yes, in many ways, we fans are the reasons why they do this but it’s true that they’ve become really really horrible in the way they work just to get a shot. Some people no longer seem to care for safety, whether of the celebrities they’re taking photos of or even themselves. I guess the JPs photos fetch a very good price, which is why they really hound them. I feel bad for the kids especially, because they really shouldn’t have to be put through this.
I certainly don’t blame the celebs that fights back. It’s very understandable, especially when they are taken during times of grief or problems.
