Kanye West and his tour manager Don C were arrested this morning at LAX airport for smashing a photographer’s camera to the ground.
Kanye apparently was not feeling very photogenic this morning and tried to get the paps away from him. Being as persistent as they are to get their footage, a fight broke out against Kanye, his assistant, and the photographer. Kanye’s tour manager Don C ran after the pap and threw the camera to the floor and Kanye tried to grab the tape. Kanye and his tour manager Damu were both taken in for booking on the charge of felony vandalism.
The agency that was involved was TMZ. Footage of the attack will no doubt be shown on TMZ soon.
Halle Berry has filed suit against pap photogs for taking pictures of her and her baby because they got them in a shady way.
These sleeze balls trespassed onto her private property! Creepy! I am sorry, but that is a stalker move if I ever heard one!
The Oscar winner was in her own backyard with her newborn daughter, not out and about in public streets, when the pictures were taken. She (of course) flipped out when she saw the pictures on the internet and in two celebrity mags.
Her lawyer said a criminal complaint has been filed and an investigation is under way. Those guys are lucky they didn’t get shot! Her lawyer also said there are witnesses who saw the photographers in the middle of a “very blatant and invasive trespass.”
Something has to be done; it is one thing to be out shopping in public streets and having your picture taken, it is quite another to have your privacy invaded when you are in your own home!
What do you guys think? If you are a celebrity does that give the paparazzi free reign?
Hayden Panettiere used to be this star struck rookie that loved the fact that people knew who she was and was fortunate to meet people that she looked up to and admired while going out at night. Recently the whole paparazzi thing has gotten the best of her. Sunday Mirror interviewed Heroes hottie recently and was told of how she hates going out since the paparazzi love tostalkher residence.
‘I don’t ever go out,’ she says, of her life in Hollywood, where she drives everywhere to avoid being recognized on the street. ‘I stay at home. I go from garage to garage, and keep myself out of sight.’ The 18-year-old, who has been catapulted into the A-list since taking on the role of cheerleader Claire Bennett in the top-rated US drama, admits she finds being famous ‘a pain in the ass’.‘I love where I live and that I have wonderful friends there and I love what I do, but it really has a major impact on your life. This business is very intrusive. People want to know what you’re doing every day, and it becomes less about your craft and your art, and your love for acting, than it is about when you put food in your mouth, or when you’re walking your dog.’
Kim Kardashian has become a paparazzi favorite this past year. Hanging out with her is just insane because there are always at least 10 paps following her around at any given time. If she hits up a really trendy spot, such as Robertson or Mr Chows, then hundreds might appear. These pics were taken while her hit show on E!, “Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s,” was filming…check them out to get an idea of what Kim K has become of since the success of the reality TV show about her and her family…
Last Saturday, Paris Hilton was photographed and made headlines around the world when she walked the streets of Hollywood with an orange-robed, grey-haired “shaman” who proceeded to bless her and then encouraged her to donate a diamond necklace to a stranger.
Numerous stories were made up about Hilton wanting to change her ways and this guru was going to save her.
The real story is that Paris and the guru, actor Maxie Santillian Jr., are both part of Ashton Kutcher’s new prank show, “Pop Fiction,” which will feature 20 celebrities, including several superstars, who are all in on the joke.
Kutcher and his business partner Jason Goldberg produce the new program, which highlights the gullibility of the paparazzi and the media and is set to premiere on E! on Sunday.
Goldberg says, “We live in a culture that’s driven by media and obsessed with celebrity, to the point where they don’t have private lives anymore.
“Two people going out to eat turns into, ‘They’re engaged.’ It’s a feeding frenzy. It’s dangerous and it’s irresponsible in some cases.
“We’re having fun, but we want to say to people, ‘Can you really believe everything you read and see?’”
I think this is a really good idea for a show. I’ve thought about the concept myself. It’s about time the paparazzi get whats commin’ to them. I can’t wait for the show to air.
