I found this on Youtube. It's of Katie going shopping, and the paparazzi who followed her.

That is RIDICULOUS. They totally MOB her, and she can't even see where she's going!! They totally are in the way and annoying and... WTF is their problem?

I LOVE how she is so polite and civil with them, when she should be able to go about her business in peace. At one point she loses sight of her mother, but they tell her where she is. She could SEE her if their wasn't a huge mob around her!

I understand that this comes with being a celebrity, the cameras and the paparazzi, but this is a little over the top!! What in the world!

Again, I just am thankful she takes it all in stride and doesn't let it phase her too much and that she is nice to them. I'd be wigging out majorly.

I couldn't even FINISH the video! They were being really inconsiderate, mobbing her like that. You could SO tell that she was getting pissed :) I probably would have ended up going all mental and yelling at them or something :P

I'd likely have been taking that binder and WACKING them over the head with it. Several times.

Or just go all Britney Spears: Hop in a random car and run over everyone's toesies!

LMAO!! I forgot about that!!

You know sometimes stars ask the paps for help or for them to go do something for them, and they do!! So maybe that is a perk!

"You there, go jump off a cliff! And take the rest of the mob with you!"

LOFL :P I know, really? That would be rather funny if someone DID ask for that…

Aw, I feel bad for them, but at the same time they HAVE to know that thats going to be what they get when they go out in public, especially when you are as well known as her. She handled herself very well though, lol.

Yeah, but I don't see why they have to be such VULTURES. I mean, she had no breathing room!

Oh I totally get that that comes along with the job. But that is getting a little bit past what they should be doing. I mean really... Mobbing is bad.

Yeah, I'm not saying I'm like...for the mobbing haha. I think people deserve their privacy, but eh.

I mean, I love my tabloids, but what they do for their stuff… pisses me off!

They take things way too far. Poor Katie.

*cuddles her*

Poor Katie. :( I think it goes beyond picture taking. These paparazzi are an invasion of privacy.

I think the "paparazzi" is dangerous. I think the best example is Britney --when she was in an ambulence, it couldn't get to the hospital quickly because of all the paparazzi taking pictures. What if a celebrity like her or katie or anyone ele has an actual emergency, and needs to be taken to the hospital? I'd hate to see someone be sicker because they couldn't geyt to the hospital quickly enough.

like Maggie said, I'd run over them.

You know they are lobbying for a law to be made about paparazzi? So that this can't happen. Because, seriously, that is dangerous. What if there was an emergency? Or a shooting or any number of things that could happen. Imagine trying to do that with a child in tow. The kid could easily get lost/stolen/abducted and no one would realize until too late. *thinks of more overly imaginative mommy's worst case scenarios*

Yeah I actually saw the guy on Showbiz tonight talking about it. I hope that it gets passed. Stalkerazzi is ridculous.

My sister sent me the link to this one. She's far too nice to them. She needs to use that mouth of hers to verbally slap them. She even tells them SHE will walk SLOWER so that THEY don't get hurt because they aren't LOOKING where they are going and back up right into a street!!! "I don't want you guys to get hurt!"

At least they tell her where her car is.
