Nicole Richie Is Pissed That Paps Stake Out Her Daughter’s School

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comOctober 14, 2010 //

“THANK YOU so much for posting the video of your employees sitting outside of my daughter’s school, because now the entire world can see how creepy and disgusting you are. You do not get to spend 200 dollars on a camera, and think that gives you a free pass to shadow my child. These are strangers, grown men, stalking young children. You think that’s ok? Here’s a better visual: Pulling up to school and seeing grown men slouched in black windowed cars outside of a preschool, all day. I’m not even there, so you cannot say you are following me as you always do.”

—Nicole Richie has declared war on X17 on her blog, after getting sick of seeing photographers outside Harlow’s preschool. She’s vowed to do a background check on every photographer there. You go, Nicole! [NY Daily News] Keep reading »

Russell Brand Protects Katy Perry’s Honor

Ami AngelowiczSeptember 20, 2010 //

Don’t mess with Russell Brand’s woman or he may attack. That’s exactly what happened at the Los Angeles airport on Friday when he was arrested for misdemeanor battery after sticking it to a photog a la Adam Lambert. Apparently he was provoked to action when the pap was trying to get upskirt shots of his fianceé, Katy Perry. “If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me,” Katy tweeted. It’s almost kind of sweet. He doesn’t want anyone else to see Katy’s vag. A little bit of machismo chivalry never hurt anyone. [NY Daily News]

All Hail King Spencer Pratt!

Susannah BreslinJune 28, 2010 //

Bow down before Spencer Pratt, women! Last year, the former star of “The Hills,” all-around nutcase, and crystal devotee declared he would be legally adding “King” to his name, and his internet home at KingSpencer.com (I felt slightly ill just writing that) certainly suggests the megalomaniac is reaching new heights in his megalomania. The King of Absurdistan has tweeted that he’s going to start his own “PAP” (read: paparazzi) agency: “anyone tweet me any celebrity sitings I’m starting my own PAP agency! I will pay for good tips if they get me the photo hahaha.” Ah, I love a literate man. But it wasn’t until this past weekend (OK, it was a slow weekend, what can I say?) that I actually visited KingSpencer.com! Which features this awesome image of King Spencer. I don’t know why they didn’t Photoshop the crown right on his head. I hope it launches soon. Keep reading »

The Real Reason Why Perez Hilton’s Upskirt Shot Of Miley Cyrus Is Wrong

Jessica WakemanJune 16, 2010 //

Every blog and media outlet in existence has weighed in on Perez Hilton‘s fixin’-for-a-jail-cell tweet that linked to an up-skirt photo of Miley Cyrus. Perez quickly deleted the tweet, so most of us have not actually seen it. But, apparently, Miley wasn’t wearing any underwear while she was exiting a car and … well, you know what happened next.

Miley Cyrus is only a few months shy of turning 18 years old, so everyone is wondering if Perez will be busted for “child porn.” Now, nothing really shocks me anymore, but as deep as my utter cynicism can be penetrated, I’m shocked that so many smart, compassionate people are missing the real story here:

It doesn’t matter if Miley Cyrus is a few months shy of 18 or she’s 100 years old. When a photographer distributed, and Perez then posted, a crotch shot, Miley was violated. Keep reading »

Quotable: Kristen Stewart Apologizes For Comparing Paparazzi Pics To Rape

Jessica WakemanJune 4, 2010 //

“I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously. And I’m really sorry about my choice of words. ‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought. People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake.”

— Kristen Stewart pulls her foot out of her mouth after comparing paparazzi photos to rape in British Elle magazine. K-Stew played a rape victim in the 2004 film, “Speak,” based on a great young adult book by Laurie Halse Anderson about a teen girl who stops speaking after she is raped at a party. Stewart has also filmed public service announcements for sexual assault awareness groups the Rape And Incest National Network and for Security On Campus. Now, can we all please move on and be pissed off at actual rapists instead? [People] Keep reading »

What happens when little kids run gossip blog/tv show TMZ? Grover is not happy to be trailed by pint-sized paparazzi and teaches kids colorful new (bleeped-out) phrases like “f**k you!” and “I don’t give a s**t!” [Babelgum] Keep reading »

Will A New Paparazzi Law Save The Governator From Photos Like These?

Jessica GoldbergOctober 13, 2009 //

California’s Kindergarten Cop has pumped up a decade-old law for fining paparazzi who illegally take photos or recordings. Now, in addition to the photographer, celebrities will be allowed to sue the outlets who buy and use the offensively obtained material. That might not strike most of us as an extreme measure, but lawsuits are daunting. They’re already a major expense for media outlets whose bread and butter is broadcasting private moments celebrities try to indulge in.

The Daily Ovulation: Kingston Rossdale Will Bite Your Butt Off

Amelia McDonell-ParrySeptember 25, 2009 //

Do not f**k with Kingston Rossdale. TMZ caught the redonkulously adorable spawn of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale showing off a little ‘tude. Part of me feels guilty for posting this video, because the kid clearly doesn’t want the paparazzi taking photos of him, yet I also want to celebrate his inate badassness. [ONTD] Keep reading »

New Clutch Helps Celebs Beat Paparazzi At Their Own Game

Annika HarrisJuly 8, 2009 //

Most of us insignificant peons have no idea what it’s like to be hounded by the paps. And I on occasion have thought celebs should just suck it up because if no one cares about you, then your celebrity is over. But they can soon mount a counter defense against the paparazzi: Adam Harvey is the genius behind the Anti-Paparazzi Clutch that gives off a bright flash when it detects a flash from a camera. The result is an obscured photo, which for the paps means no check. The clutch will have a limited release in early Spring 2010. Until then, annoyed celebrities will continue to scowl and hide behind a hood or bodyguard. Or they could just render paparazzi photos useless by hiring a photog to follow them, and then give the photos to the tabloids. [Ed Note: SNAP.] Keep reading »

Lily Allen Does More Than Get Photographed By Paparazzi

Catherine StrawnFebruary 6, 2009 //

In the two years since Lily Allen released Alright, Still, the girl managed to get into a fight with Elton John, dye her hair blond, dye her hair black, dye her hair pink, get pregnant, have a miscarriage, have an affair with a married man, get help losing weight with hypnosis, and continue expressing herself on her blog. Oh, and she also made a new album. It’s Not Me, It’s You hits stores next Tuesday, but you can listen to the whole thing on Lily’s MySpace page. While it’s not as catchy as her first record, this album will help you get through today, at the very least. Just put on your headphones, and the weekend will be here before you know it.
