Although the video of Kanye beating the living poop out of the guy is awesome, it's the price you pay for being a celebrity. Granted, I think the paparazzi take it too far sometimes, but it IS the job they chose. I would never do it, but that's what these people do in order to feed their families. If they're just taking pictures of you for magazines and not acting too obnoxious, I think you have to respect their livelihood. Unfortunately, we as an American culture eat up celebrity gossip, and for some reason there are millions of people in this country who DO care when Britney Spears goes through a drive-thru. It's stupid, but I think we've all been guilty of it as one time or another. I think these celebrities need to back off on hating the paparazzi - you can't pick and choose when you get publicity, because publicity is up to the PUBLIC. And if they really don't want to be bothered, stay out of LA as much as you can. Notice how Brad and Angelina aren't on TMZ much? Maybe it's cause they don't live in California. If you're going to live in the glitz and glamour capital of the world, you best be prepared for the negative aspects of it.
