The paparazzi are becoming more and more bold and aggressive
with celebrities. The stars decided to take some action against them but officials said
that the problem wasn't with the paparazzi but with the stars who offer them
material and opportunities. According to Reuters, Los Angeles Police Chief
William Bratton said that if celebrities acted in a decent way, there would
be no more interesting subjects for photographers.
The proposal which was designed to establish a limit between
paparazzi and celebrities was not at all sustained by William Bratton. While
Councilman Dennis Zine says that paparazzi need to keep their distance from
celebrities, mentioning Britney Spears and other celebrities who can’t take a step
without the paparazzi swarming around them, Bratton says that celebrities
should behave themselves.
“If celebrities behave themselves, that solves about 90
percent of the problem. Britney, the last couple of days, has started wearing
clothes again. The paparazzi are leaving town because she's not as interesting
when she's not running around without her underwear on,” said Bratton,
according to CNN.
Bratton also mentioned Lindsay Lohan, who “evidently found a
new love life” and was somewhere in New
York, and Paris Hilton who has “disappeared from the
scene.”
On the other hand, Dennis Zine said that the paparazzi were
“like a pack of wolves stalking their prey, creating havoc in the streets and
are nuisances to innocent bystanders.” He was also the one who convened the
hearing in order to “hear testimony from key stakeholders to develop proposals
to consider in the legislative process,” which was attended by Los Angeles
County Sheriff Lee Baca, officials from West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and
Malibu and celebrities including Mayer and actor Eric Roberts.
Apparently no one seems to hold the truth here, because the
situation is not at all black and white. Even if celebrities behave, there will
always be situations when things get out of control like in the most notorious
incident involving the two parts, Princess Diana’s death which was apparently
caused by the attempt to get away from the paparazzi. Another example is that
of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who had their property trespassed by
paparazzi, just to get some photos. It seems that in both cases, celebrities
did behave but things still got out of hand.
