Two TMZ photographers were arrested by cops
last night in Hollywood. Whether they were technically in violation of any
specific law or not, what is for certain is that TMZ is essentially a paparazzi
outfit with an editorial division.
TMZ is an establishment Hollywood
production... The two camera operators apprehended last night are Warner
Bros./Telepictures employees from a show that airs on a broadcast network.
TMZ is the first example of a Hollywood
establishment getting into the renegade hounding business that the paparazzi
have created.
All shows have shot on the sidewalk before,
but not as a result of following a star wherever they go, every day, every
hour... While that may not qualify as "stalking" legally, it's
something pretty darn close in my opinion.
It's pretty outrageous.
In this world, since Warner Bros. is home to
a lot of stars, you have the hunters and the hunted on the same company
payroll.
My understanding is that most of the TMZ
photographers are young kids, handed cameras and told to go out and get it. It's
kind of a fun post-college gig at first look. What do they tell their parents,
"I'm a videographer, mom!"
If they're straight with themselves, it's,
"Mom, I'm a paparazzo... don't tell dad."
I just received another release from another
desperate magazine trumpeting their possession of some really "juicy"
Jamie Lynn Spears news. I shouldn't have opened it.
They have details on the different things she
has purchased for her boyfriend [and assumed father] of her unborn child,
Casey. They also have new photos and in the "personal" note attached
by the publicist, "you can see her
bump more than any other." Personal to us and any other TV show that might
mention their name.
Long has it been said about Britney and many
other young celebs that they are as much at fault as the paparazzi who follow
them because they seem to flaunt it in public.
In other words, if they were to "go away,"
the hounds would too.
Jamie Lynn Spears, most importantly, is 16
years old. She is a child. She is also
pregnant, which you can imagine carries with it a truckload of emotion,
uncertainty, prematurely activated hormones, and so on. But, she HAS gone away to little old Kentwood,
Louisiana. She's walking around her sleepy little town in sweats.
Leave her alone. Now it’s plain and simply
stalking a minor. Whether that can be defined legally or not, we all know its
true.
Too many celebrity
news outlets -- that kind of supply makes the standards of demand all but
disappear.
