Clarifying a few things…Read this, it may apply to you.
If, after seeing some of the videos (especially recently) that have been circulating that reveal paparazzi behavior when they are trying to take pictures of celebrities like Kristen and Rob, you are slightly bothered or even quite upset, and you do not like how the paparazzi behave, then that also means this:
Choosing to circulate ANY intrusive & disrespectful pictures taken by the paparazzi, no matter who is in them or how cute people are in the picture, DOES NOT align with what you’re saying you don’t like.
See, saying you don’t like how rude and aggressive the paparazzi get and then turning around and posting the pictures they just took, no matter the means on how they attained them, on your blogs and/or circulating them, I hate to say it, makes you look like a hypocrite, and it’s just…no.
Now, you have choice and IF you are going to choose to keep circulating those types of pictures, then do yourself a favor and don’t go shooting your mouth off about how you don’t like how the paparazzi get when they take their pictures. Most are typically the same way..rude, intrusive, aggressive and uncaring. They are competing with each other and their only agenda is making as much money as they can with the pictures they take. They seriously do not care what the repercussions are or who they put in danger. Circulating the very pictures they take means they are supported because the pictures they take are still being bought at ungodly rates.
According to a buddy of mine who happens to work in the film industry, picture opportunities should be organized into 2 categories:
Category 1: Work time - which is okay to take and circulate (Any event where the person/people are working..promoting a movie, interviews, press junkets, events, movie premieres…)
Category 2: Personal/private time - which is not okay to take and circulate (Yes, that includes pictures of Rob and Kristen going out, running errands, spending time with friends/family, aka ANY time they are not officially working qualifies as PRIVATE/PERSONAL TIME). *If fans choose to circulate pictures they had taken with the celebrity/celebrities then that’s a different situation.*
So, I guess all I’m saying is don’t be THAT GUY who says one thing and does another. No one respects a hypocrite. Integrity is where it’s at, guys. :)
