| UndyingSoul. Really Not Okay  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 722 | I think that the paparazzi is pretty crazy, but your privacy is something you sacrifice when you become famous, and people have to realize that. If you plan on acting, or singning or whatever, you have to realize that with all that fame and fortune comes you face in a tabloid with nasty rumors as the headline. That's just how it is. It's not right that it has to be that way, but you just have to accept that the paparazzi will probably always be this way. |
| lady gaga. Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 4471 | NotOkay22: exactly celebrities know exactly what they're getting into when they enter the buissness yes some gossip is unfair and the paprazzi do take it to far sometimes but thats what happens when you're famous |
| sailor emo Killjoy Age: 32 Gender: Female Posts: 4 | Clebs need the paparatize-can't spell sorry-to exsist. I say clebraties not people. Some, like Linsy lohan, crav for the fame. Big Borother contestants, strive for it. There fake and plastic and i bet they've forgotton what they were in it for at the beginning. Real pople-I hate the word clebraties there fake-,Like Johnny Depp, are still it for real reasons they love their job, their talent. They get pissed of when people photograph of them and their kids because it's not there job. Going on holiday isn't their job. The Pap. can be really inconsidarate some times. like when River Pheonix died johnny depp closed his nightclub for two weeks in respect, some dick head went and tryed to take photographs of the club, jd chased him of with a plank. you can't say that he was in the rong!!! |
| Thug Life. Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 33 Gender: Male Posts: 1315 | the thing about celebs that gets me the most is that they get all the attention the news was drawing more attention to paris hilton landing in jail and failed to address certain issues in our community that matter its generally about celebrites. i hate how kids now think its cool to be in rehab and how paris hilton and her little band of super skanks are the rolemodels of little girls everywhre. another thing. people who wear "Free Paris" t shirts to me are morons. they know nothing about why shes there they just want her to be free but none of them have justified why they should "Free paris" celebs are not above the law. |
| melodramatic fool Salute You in Your Grave  Age: - Gender: - Posts: 2568 | It's hard to say,on one hand it's an invasion of privacy and it sucks for the celebrities. Innocent bystanders could get hurt,or even the celebrities themselves (Princess Diana any0one?) However,sometimes I feel the the people complain a bit a too much. If you really hate being photgraphed like that,maybe tone it down. Don't go out EVERY night,it's the price you have to pay for fame. And if you think it's too high,then leave. But again,the paparazzi are getting out of control and the tabloid magazine lies are getting ridiculous. |
| xXDrop.The.DaggerXx Killjoy  Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 71 | I couldn't believe the other night that on the local news Paris Hilton's imprisonment took precidence over the death of five children in an apartment fire. I hold nothing against celebrities, at least the ones that keep to themselves and lead almost normal lives. The celebs like Paris Hilton, or Lindsay Lohan, though, that act outrageously and break laws and endanger lives, and then expect special treatment... those celebrities irritate me to no end. What's worse is the fact that people actually pay attention to stuff like that. When Anna Nicole Smith died, yes, it was sad that she left behind a baby and her life was oh so difficult and whatnot. But the single woman with cancer and three kids who's living on the street corner and makes money selling fake cocaine because that's the only way she can get it is shoved to the back. Which one could use the help and the attention? We have fifty different magazines about which celebrity has the best style, but no magazines about giving warm clothes and coats you don't use to a charity that distributes them to the homeless. We have access to hundreds of articles on celebrity dieting, and what works and what doesn't, but we can probably only find one or two about what kind of food to send to the orphans in Africa that are starving to death and are so skinny you can count their ribs and vertebrae. We are so focused on what pants Tom Cruise wore while jumping on Oprah's couch, or what Britney Spears could possibly have been thinking all these years, that we have lost track of what's important. It's pathetic that Paris Hilton is more important on our news than the trading of women as slaves in parts of the world, or the fact that insugents are strapping suicide bombs to nine-year-old children. Perhaps it's time for the celebrities to stop driving while intoxicated or jumping on Oprah's couch or trying to shove their heinus beliefs down the throats of everyone else and start drawing attention to things that actually mean something. I apologize for the rant, but if I hear one more story about Tom Cruise or Britney Spears I am going to smash their heads together... |
| sparklinggrey Jazz Hands  Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 327 | Celebrities is always gonne be there. I don't even care. People say "OMG they should just leave paris alone, there's biggest issues to be concerned about" without realising that they'r spending a lot more time ranting on bout that, than actually concerning themselves over the real issues. So whatever. |
| DIE! DIE! DIE! Bleeding on the Floor  Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 1067 | Haha, my hate for celebrity gossip and my love for Paris Hilton make this a very touchy topic for me If I was famous *ehem..WHEN I am famous* the last thing I want would be a bunch of creepy 40 year old men stalking me and telling fake stories about me. No one deserves that. I don't understand how America eats it up so vulgarly! It's like..*insert celebrity's name here's* wedding is more important then the enviorment or the bodycount in Iraq. What a laugh >_> And just on a personal level, people's lives have been ruined thanks to America's need to drool over these lives. |
| sparklinggrey Jazz Hands Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 327 | America's? You ppl don't release that celebrities is famous all over the world right? Man I hate that American Idiot song. DOn't you guys get it? America isn't ruled by the media... america is the media! |
| DIE! DIE! DIE! Bleeding on the Floor Age: 33 Gender: Female Posts: 1067 | I understand it's an epidemic, but im not very concered with the rest of the world. I live in America, so im going to discuss the issue on my own soil. I think that song is very on target myself. |
| dee dee ramone. Always Born a Crime  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 5369 | No idea what you mean.[to sparklinggrey] My opinion is that whether we like it or not, celebrities and the paparazzi and all that is pretty much here to stay. Countless magazines would go out of business if the paparazzi didn't follow celebrities around and snap them. I mean, look at the covers of any magazines like Heat or something, there's bound to be a celeb on the cover who's "anorexic" or "self-harming" or "cheating on her boyfriend" etc, etc. There's nothing we can do about it. |
| sparklinggrey Jazz Hands Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 327 | Sorry, what I meant is: America is the media cause... everyone around the world watches Hollywood movies. We dress the way our stars dress, do the things they do, sing with them bout stuff from their daily lives... Hollywood is in America isn't it? Oprah is the most famous chat show in the world. WE, here in Africa, ppl in Asia, everywhere watches Oprah. You won't get it I'm sure, my english is to bad for me to try and explain. And this might be a might off-topic. But the world really tries to follow Hollywood - Americans |
| Thnks fr th vnm Demolition Lover Age: 34 Gender: Female Posts: 15766 | sparklinggrey:I think what you're trying to talk about is the influences that famous people have on everyone everywhere. Like what Oprah thinks is affecting people all the way over in Asia and what dress Jessica Alba wears to the Fantastic Four premiere is adored by people all over the world and in countless magazines, when really, what someone who's famous in Hollywood wears shouldn't really matter. And, yes, Hollywood is in America.. |
| sparklinggrey Jazz Hands Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 327 | ^ Yeah. You said it. But my point is, that for example Oprah and her opinion that's affecting people, and Jessica Alba... Oprah and jessica is American. I'm know more bout America and clubs in Hollywood than I know bout my own country. America is all we see on TV, in the movies, in the tabloids. Celebrities are out there promoting the US. Do you know how many South Africans go to the US to visit stuff they saw in the movies? For example, one of my friends recently went to LA and just had to stop by the Ivy to take some pics... celebrities are mostly American, and they promote LA by just simply living their lifes. It might be a little off-topic, but think about it. Atleast theyr doing something good |
| dear matthew Joining The Black Parade  Age: - Gender: Male Posts: 186 | to all the people who are against it, bringing celebrities into this is just making the situation worse ;] |
| HU4L Jazz Hands  Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 351 | honestly if the celebrity doesnt want the camera there then they should respect that. Also i find it so MEAN AND CARELESS that the pavarattzzi(spell) take pictures of the celebs kids. thats not nesseserry(i cant spell). |
| writerGrrl Salute You in Your Grave  Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2286 | I think it's one of the things that makes celebs so crazy. I mean there must be a reason why some of them don't eat, drink too much, or don't act like "normal" people. One of the reasons is how rich they are and another is that people judge them for everything they do. Plus the paraprazzi are probably just annoying. |
| John St. John Shotgun Sinner  Age: 31 Gender: Male Posts: 7145 | The Cameras Lying: I do agree with the celebrities kids part , they didnt ask for the celebrity tag, however, the parents did , they knew what they were getting themselves in for |
| Person0001 Always Born a Crime Age: 43 Gender: Female Posts: 5099 | I resurrected this old topic because it seemed to better belong in here rather than the "Privacy of Photos on the Internet" thread as it is not really just about photos. If the mods disagree, please accept my apologies in advance. Neil Gaiman linked his followers on twitter to this rant, which I personally think that this fanbase in particular really needs to see and absorb. The stalkerism that I have seen since following this band has shocked and dismayed me to no end. Of course I was already aware that the paparrazzi overstep their bounds and that anyone can have a random obsessive fan, but I the sense of entitlement I have seen displayed here (and by here, I in no way refer only to INO, which I do tell people is, for the most part, chockful of some very decent people, but more of the collective fanbase here) has left me ashamed to call myself a "fan" of anything anymore. I don't know how far reading this very well-written rant will go toward curbing that ridiculous attitude that quite a sizable number of people seem to have (and that band has in the nicest way possible suggested isn't healthy,) but I'm willing to try! And then there's this well-written piece on the subject by Trent Reznor. |
