George Clooney joins anti-paparazzi club
p2pnet news | Movies:- “Paparazzi” is the plural for camera persons who make their living by stalking celebrities to capture ‘candid’ still and video images and resale to the lamescream media.
They’re like a pack of hyenas and they’ll do anything to get their pictures —- ask people such as Britney Spears who is constantly pursued by paparazzi looking to get ‘the’ shot.
They’re loathed and detested by their victims, but they wouldn’t be able to operate were it not for the fact there’s a ready market their ‘product’.
Now George Clooney has joined the anti-paparazzi brigade.
Clooney, on a motorcycle, “was infuriated when photographers, who were chasing in the star in a gaggle of cars, put the actor and other road users at risk by reckless driving,” says visordown.com.
A video clip posted on TMZ.com shows him pulling to the side of a street, then saying to photographers, “You can drive all you want, you can take my picture all you want, but what you cannot do is put people in danger.”
A “quick-thinking Clooney takes down the photographer’s license plate.,” says Inside Edition.
“As Clooney recites the number, his longtime publicist, Stan Rosenfield records the plate on a notepad.”
But there’s another reason for Clooney to stay away from two-wheeled motorised transport.
Last month he fractured a rib and his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, broke her foot when the two were knocked off his motorcycle by a car in New Jersey, says Reuters.
Spears, however, is among the chosen who’ve been singled out for special paparazzi attention and she was recently accused of leaving a ’spotter’ – someone who follows stars to tip off photographers – “seriously injured”.
It turned out the only injuries sustained were bumps and bruises.

I think its time for some laws and rules to be put in place to protect the celebrities.
These fucking Paparazzi should not be allowed to chase in a car ever.
So what George is driving a motorcycle. Unless he was carry a loaded gun and firing it madly, how the fuck is it news.
People need to get lives and stop buying those fucking magazines that buy those photo’s.

What these celebrities need to do is have a few dirty trick artists make the Paparazzi’s life miserable. Lasers are very cheap and can be very destructive to cameras. Ties are also very expensive and can be easily destroyed with tire spikes. Tire spikes can be made very inexpensively from fence wire. They can be easily thrown in the path of the paparazzi’s vehicles. There are many ways of dirty tricking the paparazzi, and celebrities can afford most of them.

Or maybe they could hire a mob of their fans to chase the Paparazzi around with camera’s so we can see what kind of low lives they are.

The paparazzi are scum, there does need to be a law that stops this shit.

Perhaps he could sue all the paparazzis for “copyright infringement”, that’ll stop them!
They shouldn’t be “distributing” pictures of him!
Cheers!
