Paparazzi - How would YOU handle it?

[Filomena]

Ok, here's a question about the paparazzi.

I think it really sucks that celebrities can't go about their business without someone shoving a camera in their face all the time. And what they did to Reese Witherspoon recently, when she came out of the gym and they practically ran her off the road is unforgivable, not to mention dangerous.

What would you do if you were famous and were being stalked all the time?

On the one hand, you want to make your fans happy so a few photos shouldn't be a major problem.

But you also want to have some privacy, and not everything you do should be in the press.

How would you handle it?

-avoid eye contact
-wear glasses
-wear a baseball cap (its also good sun protection for the hair-too much sun exposure makes gray hairs come in).
-slouch (forget all that stuff that your mother said: "Don't slouch-stand up straight, shoulders back, chest out, and suck that tummy in!")

Someone suggested a Supersoaker with Tropical Punch once here I think.

That sounds good to me.

a few pictures are okay but if they came on aggressively, out come the Tommy Guns. I have a temper and I wouldn't put up with it. I'd blow some tires out and maybe start killin' the paparazzi who are involved. but then again maybe not. I know I'd go insane the minute it happens.

Cheryl's suggestion, if non-aggravating.

Quirky's suggestion, if aggravating. Would be fun to soak the camera lens in gooey liquid

Maverick....I forget who posted that now. But it's not my suggestion. Someone described a scenario where it was actually done. Was it wonderbunny?

Hmmm...I can't remember.

I mentioned it. My friend used that tactic. Also, chapstick on the lens works well.

[quirky]

I apologize for not remembering. And I apologize for being too lazy to search.

The best revenge is being involved in a movie like "Paparazzi".

I would try to look good when they take a picture of me-

And I don't agree them stalking a celeb. at their house-

[Gouliovandamn]

i would let them take all the pictures they wanted.....i have nothing to hide

Yeah but taking pictures of you in your house-that is just too much stalking.

Here's my question about the chapstick. By the time they are close enough for you to finger their lens...haven't they already gotten an interview with the large booger in your left nostril?

What's the worst cologne in the world? You know...the one with the secretions of civet cat glands in it? I think THAT in a super soaker would be entertaining.

Then....provided you were downwind of them...you could always smell them coming.
