Actors know what they're getting into...which is why they'll do anything to break into the industry. I certainly wouldn't be excited about the intrusion, but would tolerate it considering the rewards...waited on hand and foot, the surreal paycheck, etc. Let's not forget....the media attention is what contributes to their enormous paychecks...why is it when a singer/actor/athlete starts to get old, they somehow try to find their way back into the industry? Hmmmm...maybe for the $$$ and fame. While I agree this was a bad thing to do, we really must stop blaming paparazzi for everything.

I agree that it is absolutely abominable the way the paps get these pics, but it's important to note that it's a supply/demand situation.

The photographers are out of control and need some parameters. I think laws similar to the ones they have in France need to be implemented here.

There has to be evidence of the crime--not just the paps who were at the scene (who could claim that they had been there for ages, waiting to get a photo, and deny any responsibility.) And there could have been charges laid afterwards, if they could find the culprit. What this makes me think of, though, is Meryl Streep's recent remarks about how "appalled" she is that some celebs sell pictures of their newborns to the tabloids--that SHE would never have violated her kids' privacy in that way. Well, here is a prime example of what lengths the paps will go to to be the first to get the new baby's picture. And, I agree, much as I like her, Maggie Gyllenhaal is not normally a huge paparazzi draw. So what are people like Brad and Angelina supposed to do? If they do not give or sell pics of the newborns it is obvious the paparrazzi will not only surround and hound them, but might very well do something dangerous (shades of Princess Di, here) in order to get what will end up being a huge payday picture. Selling/giving the tabloids the pictures is the only way to gain some kind of control, rather than let your children be the target of a paparrazzi feeding frenzy.

At least Angelina escaped with her twins from the hospital even though paps were positioned at the entrances and on other roofs of the hospital in case she left by helicopter It was well thought out.

I could see this being realistic for let's say Britney Spears, but not her.
