I desperately want a new LJ layout but I think I might have lost my drive. Bugger. *wants sexy layout with Dom goodness rather badly*

Just saw a BBC documentary about paparazzi. It's an issue that really pisses me off. The whole thing is just so hypocritic. And no, I don't mean the every day people who claim that papparazzi is bad and then sneak out to buy the latest issue of Hello Magazine. The celebs are who piss me off.

You ignorant fuckers, you live on publicity. You chose this job. You decided to become famous. No don't come running around complaining. If paparazzi are so unbearable, then quit your jobs. And give your poshy mansions and English castles back.

Maybe you didn't consider loss of privacy was such a great sacrifice when you dreamt of being a famous actor/actress/singer/whoever. Well, that's bad luck. Be careful what you wish for is all I've got to say to that.

ETA: Managed to do snazzy new top graphic for my LJ. *drools*

Lost your drive, says you...? Well.... why don´t we see if we can´t come up with something inspirational for your layout later then? :o)

As for the paparazzi thing... well, I think there are reasonable limits to everything. Being famous do mean you have to be prepared to accept the media taking an interest in you on a professional level. However, I do not think that means you have to accept an invation of your privacy.

I agree with [Unknown site tag] on this paparazzi thing.
I mean there are reasonable limits, but sometimes you wonder... many famous people manage to not get their children photographed,like Ewan *g* And I can understand if people like him would get angry with paparazzi(s?) But people like Madonna... I mean... they behave like they want to be photographed all the time. It's just a thing of attitude.

Argh it's too early to discuss something like that.

I almost completely agree with your comments, but the paparazzi can go too far sometimes. I agree that by choosing to become an actor/singer/whatever, you invite publicity, but I heard about an instance involving Lindsay Lohan, where paparazzi were so eager to get news, they crashed into her car while she was driving, and then took photos of her distress. There needs to be a line drawn between publicity and news-mongering (did you just think of Eomer and his 'war-mongering'?!)

I agree as most celebraties are so in your face about things. If it was not for us they would not be famous and have the life they have!
Hugs!

Oh wow! Your lj header is droolsome!!! You are so good at graphics!!

Yes, that's true about celebs. I don't buy celeb magazines, they just don't interest me that much. They often say they've always dreamed of being famous, but it's not a choice you can just turn off when you've had enough & they don't seem to understand that.
