The Worst Part of the Entertainment Industry

From Princess Diana`s death to fights with George Clooney and almost every other entertainment A-lister, the life of a paparazzo is not an easy one. Sure, they get to enjoy some of the benefits of the entertainment industry, assuming of course they are a decent paparazzi and not extremely sleazy ones, but still, regardless of their range of sleaze, there are few Hollywood entertainment stars who enjoy seeing the paparazzi.

Who can blame these entertainment industry A-listers? With the paparazzi there is no family time, no privacy, absolutely nothing. However, isn`t also true that without a paparazzo taking your photo, putting you on the front page of the biggest entertainment mags and so on, that these so called "stars" would never exist. So, where is the limit, when do we say to an actor that he/she signed on for this, and when do we tell the paparazzi that they have gone to far?

Frankly, the first step in making the life of celeb less stressful is to get the paparazzi away from their children and all other family members that are not directly involved in the entertainment industry. Recently a paparazzo was arrested for snooping in the bushes behind the pre-school of Maddox Jolie-Pitt, Angelina and Brad`s adopted son. Sure, the kid is cute and all, but he never signed up for the business, and thus should not be photographed as if he is Superman. Perhaps if entertainment hounds left this children of the stars alone they wouldn`t be showing up in rehab centers at the age of 9.
