HA HA HA, the Namibian government won't let press or paparazzi into the country to stalk Angelina Jolie and her new baby. That's great. Jesus, let the poor woman give birth in peace. I'm sure someone will eventually infiltrate and post paparazzi pics all over, but I love that they'll have such a hard time about it. :D
I was reading this book about Marilyn Monroe recently, and it was talking about how if she wasn't feeling well or wasn't looking her best, she'd just say to the paparazzi, "Come on boys, leave me alone, I'm a mess," and they'd actually leave her alone. Same with other stars back in the day. It's true. I mean, you never see pics of Marilyn Monroe or Bette Davis or Clark Gable looking anything but picture-perfect. The paparazzi still existed, but they actually respected people's privacy a little.
I'm not saying that famous people should never be photographed, but I'm a strong proponent of letting people have a little privacy. It tickles me pink when people like Sean Penn or Bjork lash out at reporters and paparazzi. Remember when Bjork freaked out and attacked that reporter in an airport? Well, what they didn't make clear in the news was that the woman had been following Bjork around for days, and trying to take pics of her son and wouldn't leave them alone. Finally, Bjork had enough and gave the wench what she deserved. :D And I say, rock the fuck on. More stars should do that. Here's a link to footage of it... (which is kind of wrong seeing as how I'm talking about how it's sad that stars get photo'd everywhere... and here I am posting paparazzi footage. :P Eh, you can't win them all...)

Damn I love Bjork. :D
Serously, the paparazzi need to lay off. Do we really need to see a photo every time Ashlee Simpson buys a new pair of jeans, every time Madonna goes for a jog, every time J. Lo buys a cup of coffee? They stalked poor Princess Di to her death. Fucking leave people alone sometimes. Man, I could never be famous. I'd seriously kill someone.
If, however, you wanna publish intimate shots of Alan Rickman buying organic bananas, go right ahead.
