ANYBODY?

THE MAGAZINE SAYS THAT YOU'RE

STILL IN LOVE WITH NICK.

[ ALL CLAMORING ]

>> JESSICA, WHO ARE YOU DATING?

>> I LOVE YOU, JESSICA!

>> JESSICA?

>> JESSICA, IS IT TRUE THAT

YOU'RE STILL IN LOVE WITH NICK?

>> JESSICA...

>> IT'S A REALLY, WEIRD, SCARY

FEELING.

>> JESSICA, IS IT TRUE...

>> YOU'RE DISORIENTED.

YOU CAN'T SEE IN FRONT OF YOU.

IT'S FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

I CAN'T GET AWAY.

I CAN'T GET OUT.

I CAN'T GET OUT OF A STORE

BECAUSE THESE GUYS ARE BLOCKING

THE DOOR.

CAN'T GET TO MY CAR.

WHEN I'M IN MY CAR, THEY'RE

SURROUNDING ME.

I CAN'T SEE.

THEY FLASH LIGHT BULBS.

IT'S NIGHTTIME.

[ CROWD CLAMORING ]

>> I'VE BEEN SHOOTING SINCE THE

'80s, AND CELEBRITY PHOTOGRAPHY

HAS CHANGED A LOT.

WITH BIG AWARD SHOWS, THERE ARE

ABOUT 50, 60 GUYS IN THE PEN,

AND THEY'RE ALL FIGHTING FOR THE

SAME IMAGE.

THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A HEAD

SHOT OR A FULL-LENGTH FASHION

SHOT.

THEY'RE SCREAMING AT THE

CELEBRITIES, TRYING TO GET EYE

CONTACT INTO THEIR CAMERA.

>> RIHANNA, YOU DIDN'T LOOK...

>> I, ON THE OTHER HAND, I'M

OUTSIDE THE PEN.

I'M ON THE RED CARPET, WHERE I

GO RIGHT UP TO THEM.

I CAN MAKE THEM POSE FOR ME,

GIVE ME EYE CONTACT, OR SET UP A

SHOT.

YOU'LL TALK TO THE P.R. PEOPLE.

THEY'LL EVEN TELL YOU, FLAT-OUT,

"WE DON'T NEED ALL THESE

PHOTOGRAPHERS.

IT'S JUST FOR CAMERA AND SHOW.

BASICALLY, ALL WE NEED IS, LIKE,

FIVE OR SIX GUYS.

BUT NO, WE WANT ALL THESE

PHOTOGRAPHERS HERE BECAUSE IT

LOOKS GREAT ON CAMERA, AND IT

MAKES IT LOOK MORE GLAMOROUS."

IT'S HOLLYWOOD.

IF YOU LOOK IN THE MAGAZINES AND

ON ALL THESE WEBSITES AND

TV SHOWS AND SEEN ALL THESE

CELEBRITIES, WHERE DOES IT

REALLY COME FROM?

THE RED CARPET IS JUST ONE PIECE

OF WHAT'S BECOME A

BILLION-DOLLAR-A-YEAR INDUSTRY.

[ CROWD CLAMORING ]

[ CROWD APPLAUDS ]

>> THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE

SEEN THIS PICTURE.

I ADORE IT.

I THINK YOU WILL, TOO.

>> IN THE DAYS OF HEDDA HOPPER,

AT THE PREMIERE OF SOMETHING,

THE STUDIOS WOULD HIRE

PHOTOGRAPHERS, BUT IT WAS

GRACEFULLY WAITING.

"MAY I TAKE A PICTURE?"

IT WAS ALL AGREED UPON.

>> CLIENT WOULD WALK IN A ROOM

AND SAY, "HEY, HOW'D YOU GET ALL

THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS HERE?!"

YOU KNOW?

NOBODY BOTHERED ANYBODY.

I DIDN'T CROSS YOUR FENCE.

YOU DIDN'T CROSS MY FENCE.

>> NOW IT'S BECOME SOMETHING

TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

>> I'M GETTING A SHOT!

>> SOMEONE JUMPING OVER YOUR

WALL, OKAY?

YOUR WALL.

YOU KNOW, HOW IS THAT NOT A

CLEAR LINE?

YOU CAN'T DO THAT, RIGHT?

>> THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE --

MARC AND I GETTING MARRIED.

WE TOOK EVERY PRECAUTION AND

EVERY MEASURE SO WE COULD HAVE A

PRIVATE MOMENT.

DECIDED TO DO IT IN THE

BACKYARD, INVITE 20 PEOPLE.

THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE COMING TO

A BARBECUE.

SO, SOME OF THEM ARE NOT EVEN

THAT DRESSED UP.

>> WEARING SHORTS.

>> MARC BUILT THE RUNWAY.

>> LITERALLY -- HAMMER AND

NAILS, 'CAUSE TO GET A

CONTRACTOR TO DO THAT, IT WOULD

HAVE BEEN...

>> WE COULDN'T TRUST ANYBODY.

WE HAD TO DO IT ALL OURSELVES,

WHICH IS FINE.

IT WAS ACTUALLY A BEAUTIFUL

EXPERIENCE IN ITS OWN WAY.

BUT EVEN WITH THAT, THEY FOUND A

WAY.

HELICOPTER COMES OVER, RIGHT AS

I'M WALKING DOWN THE AISLE.

WE COULDN'T HEAR EACH OTHER

MAKING THE VOWS.

THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE

COULDN'T HEAR OUR VOWS.

>> TILL THIS DAY, I'M NOT SURE

IF SHE SAID YES, BECAUSE...

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> DID YOU?

YOU DID, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, TECHNICALLY, YOU CAN

GET OUT OF THIS, BECAUSE I NEVER

HEARD IT.

>> BUT THAT PLACE WASN'T EVEN

SACRED.

SHOULDN'T OUR HOME, AT LEAST, BE

SACRED?

>> YEAH, AT GETTY IMAGES, WE'RE

SELLING AN IMAGE EVERY SINGLE

SECOND.

AND WITHIN THE NEWS OR EDITORIAL

AREA, ABOUT 40% OF ALL THOSE

IMAGES ARE ENTERTAINMENT IMAGES.

I GET THE SAME NAMES THROWN AT

ME.

"OH, DO YOU WORK WITH

ANNIE LEIBOVITZ?

DO YOU WORK WITH

PATRICK DEMARCHELIER?"

BUT THE MOST PUBLISHED

PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE WORLD ARE

THE ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOGRAPHERS.

A LOT OF PEOPLE MAY NOT HAVE

HEARD OF THEM, BUT THESE FOLKS

ARE BEING PUBLISHED IN THE

THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS EVERY

WEEK.

>> PHOTOGRAPHERS -- THE

DIFFERENCE IN PHOTOGRAPHERS.

WELL, I GUESS THERE'S THREE

KINDS.

YOU GOT THE GUYS THAT YOU

REGULARLY SEE ON THE SCENE, LIKE

KEVIN AND GUYS FROM WIRE IMAGE,

WHERE YOU SEE THEM AT ALL THE

SHOWS.

YOU KIND OF BECOME FRIENDS WITH

THEM.

THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A BAD

SHOT.

THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING

INTERESTING.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

COOL -- NO PROBLEM.

THEN, YOU GOT THE

"STALKERAZZIS," YOU KNOW, WHO GO

THROUGH ANYTHING TO GET A SHOT

AND WHO SIT THERE LIKE YOU'RE

EATING LUNCH WITH A BAG WITH A

BIG CAMERA IN IT AND WHIP IT OUT

ON YOU, LIKE, A MOMENT'S NOTICE.

AND THEN SOME OF THE WORST

OFFENDERS ARE JUST THE CREEPOS

WITH THE CELLPHONES.

THEY'RE ACTING LIKE THEY'RE

LOOKING FOR A NUMBER WHEN I'M

BUYING A BOCA BURGER, WHICH I

DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO KNOW

ABOUT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I EAT STEAKS AND MEAT.

I'M A BADASS.

I'M IN THE BOCA BURGER SECTION,

LIKE...

[ GASPS ]

"FUCK!"

YOU KNOW?

SO, I'M LIKE THAT.

THOSE PEOPLE SUCK.

>> PEOPLE WITH MOBILE PHONES.

YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT

BEING PHOTOGRAPHED, BASICALLY,

NOW.

YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.

YOU HAVE TO ACCEPT IT, YOU HAVE

TO BE AWARE OF IT, AND YOU HAVE

TO BEHAVE ACCORDINGLY.

[ CROWD CLAMORING ]

>> NOW, THE REGULAR CITIZENS

HAVE BECOME PAPARAZZIS.

YOU'RE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE.

ANYONE CAN SELL YOU.

ANYONE CAN SELL A PIECE OF YOU.

>> THE KIND OF FASCINATION THAT

WE HAVE WITH CELEBRITIES CHANGED

OVER TIME.

WE USED TO GO AND SEE MOVIES IN

THESE AMAZING MOVIE HOUSES, MANY

OF WHICH WERE NOT ONLY BUILT TO

LOOK LIKE PALACES BUT WERE

CALLED PALACES.

AND WE WOULD SIT IN THE DARK,

AND WE WOULD WATCH THESE HUGE,

LARGER-THAN-LIFE PEOPLE -- IDOLS

THAT WERE LITERALLY LIKE

DEITIES.

[ MOVIE-HOUSE PIANO PLAYS ]

>> THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO APPEARED

IN MOVIES, THEIR NAMES WEREN'T

USED.

THE AUDIENCE HAD TO MAKE UP

THEIR OWN NAMES FOR THESE

PEOPLE.

MARY PICKFORD, FOR INSTANCE,

BECAME KNOWN AS "THE GIRL WITH

THE CURLS," BECAUSE THE STUDIOS

DIDN'T PROMOTE THEM.

THEY KNEW IF THEY PROMOTED THEM

THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM

MORE.

PICKFORD REALLY CHANGED THAT,

PERSONALLY.

SHE AND HER MOTHER INVENTED

STARDOM AND THE PERCENTAGE DEAL.

"THE MOVIE MAKES SO MUCH MONEY,

I MAKE SO MUCH MONEY."

UNHEARD OF, UNTHINKABLE.

AND SHE MARRIED

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, WHO, ON THE

MALE SIDE, DID THE SAME THING.

>> BACK WHEN HOLLYWOOD WAS IN

ITS GOLDEN AGE, IT WAS GLAMOROUS

AND BEAUTIFUL AND MYSTERIOUS,

AND YOU WONDERED HOW THEY

LIVED.

AND IF THEY DID A SPREAD IN

SOMEBODY'S HOUSE, IT WAS JUST SO

SPECIAL.

AND NOW WE'RE SO EXPOSED.

THERE'S NO MYSTERY.

>> TODAY, CELEBRITY IS AN

INDUSTRY, AND IN EVERY INDUSTRY,

YOU HAVE RAW MATERIAL.

AND THE RAW MATERIAL IN THE

CELEBRITY INDUSTRY IS AN ACTUAL

BODY, AN ACTUAL FLESH-AND-BLOOD

PERSON, WHO HAS FEELINGS, HAS

EMOTIONS, HAS A FAMILY.

THAT RAW MATERIAL IS SHAPED.

YOU HAVE TO LOOK A CERTAIN WAY.

SO, THEY HAVE A STYLIST AND AY.

PUBLICIST AND A MANAGER AND AN

AGENT THAT HELP FORM THE RAW

MATERIAL INTO THE FINISHED

PRODUCT.

SECOND OF ALL, YOU HAVE

AUTHORIZED PUBLICITY, THINGS

THAT THE CELEBRITY AND HIS OR

HER PUBLICIST HAVE DECIDED WILL

BECOME PART OF THIS PERSON'S

IMAGE -- INTERVIEWS, MAGAZINE

COVERS, THE ACTUAL FILMS, THE

PRODUCTS IN WHICH THE STAR

APPEARS.

AND THEN YOU HAVE THE

UNAUTHORIZED PUBLICITY, WHICH IS

PAPARAZZI PHOTOGRAPHY AND

GOSSIP, UNSANCTIONED.

BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, IT STILL

CONTRIBUTES TO THE FORMATION OF

THE IMAGE.

NEXT, MEDIA TAKES THIS IMAGE AND

GIVES IT TO THE CONSUMER.

AS FAR AS OUTLETS, THERE'S

PRINT, THERE'S TELEVISION, AND

THERE'S ONLINE.

SO, SOME OF THE AUTHORIZED

OUTLETS WOULD BE PEOPLE,

"ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT,"

"EXTRA," "ACCESS HOLLYWOOD," AND

THEN A STAR'S WEBSITE OR A

STAR'S FAN CLUB.

UNAUTHORIZED?

IN PRINT, WE HAVE

IN TOUCH AND LIFE & STYLE.

THERE'S GOSSIP BLOGS, LIKE TMZ,

PEREZ HILTON, DLISTED, GAWKER.

SO, BOTTOM LINE, ALL THESE

DIFFERENT PLAYERS -- THEY'RE ALL

INTERCONNECTED AND SYMBIOTIC ON

ONE ANOTHER.

[ BIRD CHIRPING ]

>> WATCH THE CARS BEHIND YOU

GUYS.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT WAS.

DO YOU KNOW?

>> NO. PRETTY HOT.

>> THERE SHE IS. LOOK.

>> AND SHE SELLS?

>> OH, FUCK, YEAH, SHE SELLS!

[ LAUGHS ]

>> YEAH, YEAH, SHE SELLS, FOR

SURE.

>> USUALLY, THEY RUN, WHAT,

$250, $500.

TRUTHFULLY.

>> USUALLY, THEY'RE $50, $250,

TO AS MUCH AS $250,000.

>> OH, THERE'S KEYSHAWN JOHNSON.

>> BECAUSE HERE'S THE DEAL.

YOU MAY GET NOTHING TODAY, BUT

YOU MAY COME TODAY OR TOMORROW

AND MAKE MORE IN ONE DAY THAN

MOST MAKE IN A YEAR.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

[ CASH REGISTER DINGS ]

>> THE PROBLEM IS, IT HAS TO BE

THE MOST AUDACIOUS, THE MOST

OUTRAGEOUS, THE MOST INTRUSIVE

BEHAVIOR MAY GET THE MOST

SALEABLE SHOT.

THE AGENCIES ARE TRYING TO GET

THAT TO SELL THEM TO MAGAZINES

OR VIDEO OUTLETS THAT WILL PAY

MONEY FOR IT.

AND THE PUBLIC BUYS THE

MAGAZINES AND WATCHES THE SHOWS.

SO, IT'S THAT WHOLE CYCLE.

>> HEY, GUYS!

GET BACK!

GUYS, GUYS!

MIKE, RIGHT HERE.

>> PART OF THE GAME IS TO

PROVOKE A REACTION.

>> GET BACK, GUYS.

>> BEST THING THAT WILL HAPPEN

IS SOMEBODY WILL TAKE A SWING AT

THEM, YOU KNOW, OR START PUSHING

OR SCREAMING.

THAT'S A BETTER SHOT.

IT'S MORE MONEY.

>> WHO ARE YOU DATING?!

>> THEY USUALLY BRING UP

EX-GIRLFRIENDS, EX-WIVES.

THEY SAY STUFF ABOUT PAM.

THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH THEY CAN

REALLY SAY TO GET MY GOAT.

IT'S MORE INVADING YOUR SPACE,

GETTING IN YOUR FACE.

YOU'RE LIKE, "WAIT A MINUTE.

I DON'T KNOW YOU, DUDE.

YOU'RE GONNA COME AT ME AND TRY

TO GET A REACTION?"

THERE'S MY REACTION.

WE'RE ALL GOOD.

>> I'VE GIVEN THEM ONE OR TWO OF

THOSE IN MY TIME.

BUT NOW YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW

THAT THAT'S THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT

THEY WANT, AND YOU JUST HAVE TO

NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.

[ CROWD CLAMORING ]

>> WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS

PROVOKE YOU.

LIKE, "OH, YOU WERE VOTED WORST

'THIS' OR 'THAT.'"

AND IF THEY DO PROVOKE YOU,

THEY HAVE WON, AND YOU HAVE

LOST.

>> ME, ON THE OTHER HAND...

>> YEAH.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> MARC DOESN'T HAVE AS MUCH OF

A TOLERANCE FOR THAT STUFF.

SO, WE TRY NOT TO PUT HIM IN

THOSE SITUATIONS TOO OFTEN.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> LINDSAY, BIG SMILE!

>> THEY KIND OF WANT

LINDSAY LOHAN TO MELT DOWN IN

PUBLIC SO THEY'VE GOT THEIR

PHOTOGRAPH.

>> THIS WEEK IN THE CELEBRITY

SPOTLIGHT, LINDSAY LOHAN IS

JAIL-BOUND...

>> AND, YOU KNOW, HALF THE TIME

SHE GIVES THEM THE THING THEY

WANT, AND IT'S VERY SAD, BECAUSE

IT'S LIKE, THIS GIRL WAS A GOOD

ACTRESS.

SHE HAD TALENT.

SHE MADE RECORDS, YOU KNOW?

AND NOW IT'S KIND OF SHE'S

BECOME THEIR TOY.

IT'S FRIGHTENING.

>> THERE IS A UNIQUELY AMERICAN

SPORT CALLED "GRANDICIDE."

WE BUILD SOMEONE UP TO

SPECTACULAR HEIGHTS IN ORDER TO

TEAR THEM DOWN.

>> IT'S A VICIOUS CYCLE.

YOU BUILD UP.

YOU BREAK HER DOWN.

THE NEXT FAMOUS PERSON COMES

BACK AGAIN.

NEXT THING, YOU HAVE TO BREAK

THEM DOWN AGAIN.

SO, YOU JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH.

>> I KNOW IT'S ONLY A COUPLE

DAYS IN, BUT THEY SAY IT'S GONNA

GO NUMBER ONE.

>> ...SUPERSTAR WHOSE SHOCKING

PRIVATE LIFE BECAME AN

INTERNATIONAL SOAP OPERA.

>> ...QUESTIONING WHETHER SHE

CAN BE A GOOD MOTHER.

>> ...SELF-DESTRUCTIVE COCKTAIL

OF COURTROOMS, PSYCH WARDS, AND

PAPARAZZI.

>> THAT MOMENT OF HER JUST

LOOKING IN THE CAMERA SHAVING

HER HEAD WAS SUCH A POWERFUL

MOMENT.

IT WAS LIKE, "FUCK YOU, GUYS."

I MEAN, THERE WAS SOMETHING

ABOUT IT THAT WAS JUST "FUCK

YOU."

YOU KNOW? SHE HAD ENOUGH.

SHE BROKE IN FRONT OF ALL OF OUR

EYES, AND THEN PEOPLE CAPTURED

THAT.

BUT IT WAS REALLY SAD TO ME.

>> PEOPLE USED TO BE ABLE TO

DEVELOP KIND OF QUIETLY, AND IF

THEY MADE MISTAKES, THE WHOLE

WORLD DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THEM.

>> GEE, MICKEY, WE DON'T KNOW

HOW LUCKY WE ARE.

>> BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY IT IS

ANYMORE.

NOW, REALLY HORRIBLE BEHAVIOR

AND PEOPLE WHO ARE DEFINITELY IN

TROUBLE AND NEED HELP ARE OFTEN

JUST SEEN AS PEOPLE WHO ARE

SUPPOSED TO ENTERTAIN YOU.

>> THIS IS A MESS.

>> OUR CELEBRITY IMAGES ARE

SUPPOSED TO BE SEAMLESS.

BUT WHEN THOSE CRACKS OPEN, IT'S

KIND OF DIRTY, BUT IT'S ALSO

FASCINATING.

>> I AM ON A DRUG.

IT'S CALLED "CHARLIE SHEEN."

>> BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, IF IT

CRACKS OPEN TOO WIDE, THERE'S

NOTHING LEFT.

>> YOU BORROW MY BRAIN FOR

FIVE SECONDS AND JUST BE LIKE,

"DUDE, CAN'T HANDLE IT!"

>> HE'S A TRAIN WRECK.

HE'S AN ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECK,

WHICH IS FABULOUS.

IT'S GREAT.

>> YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN'T LOOK,

BUT YOU'RE JUST CURIOUS.

>> COME ON, MR. "P."

I'M DARRYN LYONS,

"MR. PAPARAZZI," AND THIS IS MY

MINI-ME, MR. "P."

>> [ SQUAWKS ]

>> I STARTED AS A NEWS

PHOTOGRAPHER ON A LOCAL PAPER,

BUT MY PASSION WAS CERTAINLY

PHOTOGRAPHY.

A LOT OF THE WORLD, LOOKING FROM

THE OUTSIDE IN, LIVE REALLY

DISINTERESTING LIVES, AND I

THINK THAT IS WHAT'S CAPTURED

THE CULTURE OF CELEBRITY TODAY.

I'M A TRUE BELIEVER IN THE

IMAGE.

I'VE BEEN TO BOSNIA ON THE

FRONTLINE GETTING SHOT AT IN

FULL METAL JACKET.

I'VE WON PRESS PHOTOGRAPHER FOR

THE YEAR IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

TWO YEARS IN A ROW.

I'VE WON ALL THE AWARDS YOU CAN

IMAGINE BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS,

AWARDS DON'T PAY THE MORTGAGE.

I SAW CELEBRITY AS BEING THE

HUGE MOMENT OF THE FUTURE.

WITH mrpaparazzi.com, I EMBRACED

IT, AND I'M STILL EMBRACING IT.

CELEBRITY ISN'T GONNA GO AWAY.

IT'S BEEN AROUND SINCE TIME

BEGAN.

>> YOU KNOW, JULIUS CAESAR WAS

FAMOUS.

NAPOLEON WAS FAMOUS.

THEY WERE FAMOUS IN DIFFERENT

WAYS.

YOUR KEY IS MASS MEDIA.

IT HAD TAKEN NAPOLEON A LIFETIME

TO BECOME FAMOUS.

IT TOOK CHARLIE CHAPLIN A MONTH.

ONE DAY HE WAS NOBODY, AND A

MONTH LATER HE WAS KNOWN IN THE

DEEPEST JUNGLES OF AFRICA.

[ CROWD CHEERS ]

HE COULDN'T APPEAR IN PUBLIC

WITHOUT A MOB COMING AROUND HIM.

AND HE HAD TO INVENT STRATEGIES

TO DEAL WITH THAT.

>> * FAME, FAME

* IS IT ANY WONDER

YOU'RE TOO COOL TO FOOL? *

* FAME, FAME

* FAME

* BULLY FOR YOU, CHILLY FOR ME

* GOT TO GET A RAIN CHECK ON

FAME *

>> CELEBRITY TODAY MEANS ANYONE

WHO'S FAMOUS.

NOW, YOU CAN BE FAMOUS -- YOU

KNOW, GUY WHO WAS IN A BALLOON

WHO FLOATED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

IS THAT A STAR?

YOU KNOW...

IS JEFFREY DAHMER A STAR?

THE REAL NAME OF THE GAME IS

FAME.

>> * OH, FAME

* OH, FAME

* FAME, FAME, FAME, FAME,

* WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

* WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

* WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

* WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

>> HISTORICALLY, THE

AMERICAN DREAM MEANT THAT ANYONE

COULD COME TO AMERICA AND

THROUGH HARD WORK COULD OWN A

HOME AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR

FAMILY.

NOW, THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS

REALLY TRANSFORMED INTO ANYONE

CAN BECOME A CELEBRITY.

>> SAY SOMETHING WITH THAT GREAT

RADIO VOICE.

>> WHEN YOU'RE LISTENING TO

NOTHING BUT THE BEST OF

OLDIES...

>> * SO HOLD YOUR HEAD UP,

AND YOU'LL GO FAR *

>> THE WAY THAT PEOPLE TALK

ABOUT YouTube IS THAT ANYONE WHO

PUTS A VIDEO ON YouTube CAN

BECOME FAMOUS.

EVERYONE CAN DENY JUSTIN BIEBER

A CONTRACT, BUT THEN BECAUSE

ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED

HIM, HE CAN STILL BECOME FAMOUS.

IT'S THIS IDEA THAT IF YOU HAVE

TALENT, AND IF YOU MAKE THAT

TALENT VISIBLE, THEN YOU CAN BE

VOTED, IN OUR DEMOCRATIC

SOCIETY, TO BE A STAR.

>> I THINK A RECENT SURVEY OF

BRITISH CHILDREN UNDER 15 SAID

THEY WANTED TO BE A DOCTOR OR A

NURSE OR AN ARCHITECT OR A

PHOTOGRAPHER.

NO, THEY JUST WANTED TO BE

EITHER RICH OR FAMOUS.

>> I WANT TO BE FAMOUS, BUT,

LIKE, THE "JERSEY SHORE" PEOPLE,

LIKE ON A REALITY SHOW OR

SOMETHING.

>> I HAD SEX WITH VINNY.

YOU HAD SEX WITH VINNY.

[BLEEP]

BRING IT ON!

>> YOU KNOW, "JERSEY SHORE'S" A

HUGE SUCCESS BECAUSE WE'RE

NUTJOBS, AND WE DON'T CARE WHAT

PEOPLE THINK ABOUT US.

SO, I THINK THAT'S WHY EVERYBODY

LOVES US.

>> IN GENERAL, A REALITY

CELEBRITY IS LIKE A ONE-USE

CELEBRITY.

YOU PAY A LITTLE FOR THEM, BUT

THEN YOU CAN EXPLOIT THEM UNTIL

THEY DISINTEGRATE.

>> THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE

NOW THAT ARE COMPLETELY

CELEBRITIES AND ABSOLUTELY

FAMOUS WHO DON'T WORK...

WHO DON'T EVEN WORK.

THEY HAVE NOTHING TO SELL.

THEY HAVE NO PRODUCT.

THERE'S...

>> IT'S SO SCARY.

>> I HATE REALITY TELEVISION.

I THINK IT'S THE LOWEST COMMON

DENOMINATOR.

IT'S MIND ROT TO ME.

IT NUMBS MY BRAIN.

AND THE PEOPLE BEING CALLED

CELEBRITIES AND HAVE THEIR OWN

REALITY SHOWS, I WANT TO KILL

THEM.

>> TOLD YOU YOU WOULDN'T REGRET

IT.

>> I THINK WHAT PEOPLE

MISUNDERSTAND IS THAT WE'RE IN

THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.

WE'RE NOT THESE SERIOUS PEOPLE,

AND EVERYONE'S JUST GOTTEN SO

USED TO ALL THESE ACTORS TAKING

THEMSELVES SO SERIOUSLY, WHEN

IT'S REALLY JUST A JOKE

INDUSTRY.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN.

>> YOU NEED A KEG.

>> THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH

THE KIM KARD-- ALL OF THOSE

PEOPLE.

IF THAT'S HOW THEY CHOOSE TO

MAKE A LIVING, MORE POWER TO

THEM.

IT'S NOT MY -- MY LINE OF WORK

IS DIFFERENT.

I WANT TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE.

>> REALITY TV IS, IN A WAY, THE

NEW VAUDEVILLE.

THERE'S NOTHING REAL ABOUT

REALITY TV.

PEOPLE ARE LED TO BELIEVE THAT

IT'S REAL, AND IT'S THE BIG LIE.

THERE'S NOTHING REAL ABOUT IT.

>> I'LL TELL YOU THE FIRST TIME

IT BOTHERED ME.

I WALKED OUT OF MY HOUSE.

I WANTED TO GO AND GET MY

MOTHER-IN-LAW A BIRTHDAY

PRESENT.

AND I WALKED OUT, AND, FOR THE

FIRST TIME EVER, THERE WERE ALL

THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS OUTSIDE.

AND MY FIRST INSTINCT,

CURIOUSLY ENOUGH, BECAUSE WE'RE

KIND OF ALL ANIMALS, BASICALLY,

WAS TO RUN.

BUT THEN I GOT SCARED TO RUN,

BECAUSE I WAS PREGNANT, AND I

DIDN'T TRUST THE STREETS OF

NEW YORK TO BE MY ALLY.

AND I STARTED CRYING, AND I SAID

TO THE PHOTOGRAPHERS, "PLEASE

DON'T CHASE ME.

I'M PREGNANT.

PLEASE DON'T CHASE ME."

AND THEY KEPT FOLLOWING ME.

AND I WENT INTO A BUILDING.

I SAW A DOORMAN IN A BUILDING,

AND I SAID TO HIM, "IS IT OKAY?

CAN I COME IN YOUR BUILDING?"

AND HE TOOK ME DOWN TO THE

GARAGE.

AND THERE WAS A COUPLE, AND THEY

WERE ON A MOTORCYCLE.

AND THEY SAW ME CRYING.

AND SHE AND I TRADED CLOTHING,

EVERYTHING -- FROM HEAD TO

TOE -- AND I GOT ON THE BACK OF

HER BOYFRIEND'S MOTORCYCLE.

AND SHE WALKED OUT IN MY

CLOTHES, AND HE TOOK ME

ELSEWHERE AND DROPPED ME OFF.

BUT IT'S JUST GOTTEN

EXPONENTIALLY WORSE EVER SINCE

THEN.

>> HE GAVE UP -- QUITTER.

>> YOU'RE HOURS AWAY.

I START OFF VERY EARLY IN THE

MORNING, AND I GO LATE AT NIGHT.

AND I TRY TO DO IT SIX DAYS A

WEEK, IF NOT SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.

GOT TO DO THAT CELEBRITY RAIN

DANCE.

COME ON!

BRING THEM IN. BRING THEM IN.

BRING THEM IN.

I LOVE WHAT I DO BECAUSE I GET

TO DRIVE UP AND DOWN THE STREETS

OF MY FAVORITE CITY IN THE

WORLD, LOS ANGELES,

CALIFORNIA...

>> HOW ARE YOU?

>> ...INTERACT WITH

CELEBRITIES...

>> IT WAS AWESOME!

>> ...MEET THE TOURISTS.

I CAN TAKE A DAY OFF WHEN I

WANT.

I'M MY OWN BOSS.

I HAVE NO ONE TO ANSWER TO.

LOVING LIFE, MAN.

LOVING LIFE.

>> THEY WOULD WORK TOGETHER IN

TEAMS OF TWO.

ONE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHERS WOULD

AGGRAVATE THE CELEBRITY THEY

WERE SHOOTING, START SOME KIND

OF CONFRONTATION, SO THAT THE

OTHER ONE COULD TAKE THE

PHOTOGRAPH.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

[ HORN HONKS ]

>> THE ADVENT OF THE PAPARAZZI

TOOK ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT

NASTINESS.

PAPARAZZI WERE "I'LL GET YOU AT

ANY COST.

AND I'LL GET IT IF IT MEANS

KILLING YOU."

AND THE COMPETITION AMONG THEM

WAS SO FIERCE.

>> * I CAN'T STOP THIS FEELING

DEEP INSIDE OF ME *

>> RON GALELLA WAS PROBABLY THE

FIRST WELL-KNOWN PAPARAZZI, WHO

EVERY DAY WOKE UP AND DECIDED TO

FOCUS HIS LENS ON

JACKIE KENNEDY NO MATTER WHAT

SHE WAS DOING OR WHERE SHE WAS.

>> * I...

I'M HOOKED ON A FEELING *

* HIGH ON BELIEVING

THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE... *

>> AGE HAS BEEN GOOD TO RON,

BECAUSE HE GOT A LOT OF VERY BAD

PRESS.

HE WAS SEEN TO BE A PARASITE.

HIS PHOTOGRAPHY'S NOW BEING

COLLECTED BY SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHY

COLLECTORS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN RON WAS

WORKING, IT WAS COMPLETELY

DIFFERENT FROM THE WAY IT IS

NOW.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

>> GETTING YOUR PICTURE TAKEN

WENT FROM SOMETHING WHERE YOU

FELT THAT SOMEBODY WAS HONORING

YOU, A PART OF YOU -- YOUR WORK,

YOUR BEAUTY, YOUR YOUTH,

SOMETHING -- TO A HUNT.

AND MOST OF THE TIME, INSTEAD OF

CELEBRATING SOMETHING ABOUT YOU,

A LOT OF THE TIME IS TRYING TO

FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU.

>> I'M NOT OUT TO GET A BAD SHOT

OF LINDSAY LOHAN.

I'M OUT TO GET A SHOT.

NOW, IF SHE'S DOING GOOD, WELL,

I'M TAKING A GOOD SHOT.

IF SHE'S DOING BAD, WELL, IN HER

EYES, I'M TAKING A BAD SHOT.

TO ME, IT'S STILL THE SHOT.

>> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

[ HORN HONKS ]

>> YOU'RE ABOUT THE RUDEST

>> THANK YOU.

>> NO WONDER PEOPLE COME UP AND

SLAP YOU.

>> HE THREW THE FINGER AT ME.

>> I DON'T BLAME HIM!

YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE!

>> THEY USE US AS A SCAPEGOAT.

"OH, PAPARAZZI -- BAD.

WELL, YOU TOOK THE PICTURE, AND

THEY WROTE ABOUT IT, BUT YOU

SHOULDN'T HAVE TOOK THE

PICTURE."

WELL, OKAY, BUT THEY STILL SOLD

MAGAZINES, AND YOU STILL READ

IT.

HEY, I GOT A QUESTION.

WHO DO YOU THINK PEOPLE HATE

MORE, THE PARKING ENFORCEMENT OR

THE PAPARAZZI?

[ LAUGHS ]

>> YOU GUYS.

>> REALLY?

>> YEAH.

>> I THINK IT'S REALLY EASY TO

BLAME THE PAPARAZZI BECAUSE

THEY'RE ACTUAL BODIES RIGHT

THERE THAT WE CAN PINPOINT AS

THE CAUSE.

THERE ARE PHOTOS OF THE

PAPARAZZI GETTING IN

CELEBRITIES' FACES, WHEREAS THE

WRITERS AND EDITORS, COMPLETELY

UNSEEN.

AND WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO

BLAME OURSELVES.

>> I THINK THE PAPARAZZI HAS A

PLACE.

40% OF MANY OF THE MAGAZINES

HAVE PAPARAZZI PHOTOS.

THEY'RE AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE

INDUSTRY.

[ LAUGHS ]

GOOD GOSSIP, BASICALLY.

>> CONFIDENTIA GOES BEHIND THE

HEADLINES FOR ITS STORIES --

STORIES THAT WE FEEL, THAT I

FEEL, THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW.

>> ROBERT HARRISON PUBLISHED

KIND OF PULPY SKIN MAGAZINES OUT

OF HIS APARTMENT IN THE 1940s,

AND THEN HE STARTED CONFIDENTIAL

IN THE 1950s.

CONFIDENTIAL BASICALLY MADE

WHAT HAD TO THAT POINT BEEN

UNSPEAKABLE SPEAKABLE.

SO, WOMEN'S SEXUALITY, HAVING

RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN RACES,

EVEN HOMOSEXUALITY.

CONFIDENTIAL WAS OPERATING

ENTIRELY OUTSIDE OF THE SYSTEM

AND HAD NO QUALMS ABOUT

REPORTING ON THESE SORTS OF

THINGS.

>> SOME OF THE STORIES WERE

OUTRAGEOUS, LIKE, "I BOILED MY

BABY IN THE OVEN THIS MORNING"

AND THINGS LIKE THAT, TERRIBLE

THINGS.

AND THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO

BELIEVED IT.

AND OUR DAMAGE CONTROL WAS JUST

IGNORE IT, 'CAUSE IT WILL GO

AWAY.

AND MOST OF THE TIME, IT DID.

>> THE OUTLAW MAGAZINES TOOK

ADVANTAGE OF THE FACT THAT THERE

WERE SECRETS THAT THEY COULD

BASICALLY USE AS BLACKMAIL.

THE CLASSIC STORY, OF COURSE,

WAS THE STORY ABOUT

ROCK HUDSON'S HOMOSEXUALITY,

WHICH CONFIDENTIAL HAD ABSOLUTE

EVIDENCE OF, AND THEY SAID,

"GIVE US AN EXCLUSIVE STORY, AND

WE WON'T PRINT IT."

SO, THE STUDIO TOOK A MUCH

LESSER ACTOR, WHO WAS ALSO GAY,

AND THEY SACRIFICED HIM --

PRETTY SLEAZY STUFF.

BUT IT WAS BUSINESS.

>> CONFIDENTIA BECAME EXTREMELY

POPULAR IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT

OF TIME.

I MEAN, UPWARDS OF 5 MILLION

COPIES OF MONTH AT ITS HEIGHT.

BUT ALL OF THESE STARS,

INCLUDING MAUREEN O'HARA,

LIBERACE, AND DOROTHY DANDRIDGE,

FILED SUIT AGAINST CONFIDENTIAL

FOR THE VARIOUS THINGS THAT WERE

SAID ABOUT THEM.

>> IF THEY DON'T FEEL IT,

EVIDENTLY...

>> ROBERT HARRISON AGREED TO

BASICALLY STOP COVERING THE

STARS, AND THEN THE STARS AND

THE STUDIOS WOULD STOP SUING

HIM.

SO, HE SOLD IT OFF.

>> I THINK IT'S A PART OF

AMERICANA.

I THINK IT'S GONNA LIVE LONG

AFTER I'M GONE.

>> YOU'RE SO FUNNY.

I MEAN, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA GET

THE BALL...

>> YEAH, YEAH.

>> LOOKING FOR ALL THOSE SORT OF

FUN, LITTLE, BEHIND-THE-SCENES

KIND OF IMAGES THAT ARE GONNA

MAKE A READER FEEL LIKE THAT

THEY WERE REALLY THERE --

SOMEONE STEPPING ON SOMEONE'S

TRAIN, SOMEONE GREETING SOMEONE,

SAYING, "HI," NICOLE KIDMAN,

KEITH URBAN GOING OUT ON THEIR

DATE NIGHT, THINGS LIKE THAT.

>> WE CAN DO A WIDE SHOT OF THE

CAST...

>> FROM THIS WE PICK A FEW

HUNDRED PICTURES, AND I WOULD

SAY, IN TERMS OF OUR SPACE IN

THE MAGAZINE, WE HAVE ROOM FOR

SIX CONSECUTIVE PAGES OF

AWARD-SHOW COVERAGE.

NOW, SOMETHING REALLY JUICY

HAPPENS AT THE SHOW, YOU NEVER

KNOW.

YOU COULD GET A COVER STORY OUT

OF IT, OR IT COULD GO IN THE

"HOT STUFF" SECTION AND BE A

GOSSIP ITEM.

MILA KUNIS LOOKED AMAZING.

SO, WE MIGHT RUN A FULL-LENGTH

DRESS SHOT OF HER, IN WHICH CASE

WE CAN'T NECESSARILY RUN ANOTHER

PICTURE OF HER INSIDE WITH

NATALIE PORTMAN, EVEN THOUGH

IT'S REALLY CUTE.

SO, IT'S REALLY JUST A GIANT

PUZZLE.

>> ...WHETHER OR NOT THAT RUNS

IN A DIFFERENT SECTION OF THE

MAGAZINE.

>> RIGHT.

>> US WEEKL WAS LAUNCHED IN THE

1970s TO COMPETE WITH PEOPLE.

PEOPLE MAGAZINE WAS FIRST

PUBLISHED IN 1974.

ONE OF THE FIRST ISSUES HAD

GERALD FORD NOT, LIKE, IN A

SUIT, IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

HE'S IN A POOL, AND HIS SHIRT IS

OFF.

SO, IT'S REALLY TRYING TO GIVE

THIS INTIMATE LOOK INTO THESE

DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES' LIVES.

AND IT WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS

IMMEDIATELY.

US WEEKLY WAS ACTUALLY

PUBLISHED BY

THE NEW YORK TIMES COMPANY

ORIGINALLY AND EVENTUALLY SOLD

IT TO JANN WENNER, THE FOUNDER

OF ROLLING STONE.

IT HAS BEEN A MONTHLY, A

BIWEEKLY, AND A WEEKLY.

THEY HAVE CHANGED ITS FORMAT,

ITS TONE, WHO THEY'RE COVERING.

HE TRIED EVERYTHING, AND NONE OF

IT WORKED.

IT SEEMED LIKE PEOPLE WAS

INVINCIBLE.

>> AROUND 2002, BONNIE FULLER

TOOK OVER US WEEKLY, AND SHE

CHANGED THE FACE OF CELEBRITY

REPORTING.

A LOT OF THE MAGAZINES WOULD

FEATURE THESE GLAMOROUS SHOTS OF

CELEBRITIES, AND AT THE TIME

US WEEKLY WASN'T DOING THAT

WELL.

AND SO THE ONLY PHOTOS THAT

US WEEKLY COULD AFFORD WERE

THOSE SHOTS THAT MAGAZINES

WOULDN'T PRINT.

>> I WAS INTERESTED IN

CELEBRITIES BEING GLAMOROUS, BUT

THEN I ALSO WANTED TO SEE THE

HUMAN SIDE OF THEM, TOO.

AND SO, WE CREATED A SECTION

CALLED "STARS ARE JUST LIKE US."

>> * WHOO-OOH

>> * IF I COULD ESCAPE

>> * WHOO-OOH

>> * IF I COULD ESCAPE

>> * WHOO-OOH

>> BONNIE SNAPPED UP THOSE SHOTS

OF CELEBRITIES TAKING OUT THEIR

GARBAGE, PICKING UP THEIR KIDS.

IT WAS A HOME RUN FOR US.

>> I GUESS I WAS A PIONEER,

BECAUSE THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME

THAT PAPARAZZI PHOTOS HAD BEEN

PRESENTED THAT WAY.

>> SHE DEFINITELY HAS THE GOOD

HAIR AND THEN THE PRETTY --

HELLO.

>> YEAH.

>> SHE'S SO GORGEOUS.

EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW WHO

IT IS AND KIND OF BECOME THE

EXPERT AND THE INSIDER.

SO, WE WANT TO ALWAYS GIVE THAT.

THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY

THEY COME HERE, TO US WEEKLY.

THE WAY THAT WE LAY IT OUT, IT

ALWAYS DOES FEEL LIKE YOU WERE

LIKE A MEMBER OF THE PARTY

THERE.

AND THEY LOVE IT.

>> DO YOU KNOW IF THIS THING...

>> 'CAUSE IF NOT, I'LL TAKE IT.

>> IT'S NOT.

IT'S KEITH AND NICOLE.

>> IS THAT NOWHERE?

>> WELL, THEN I'M USING IT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

LET ME JUST CHECK...

>> CAN'T NOT USE HALLE BERRY.

IT'S A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY

NOT TO RUN...

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> EVERYBODY WINS.

>> WHEN BONNIE AND I WORKED

TOGETHER AS EDITORS AT

US WEEKLY, I BROKE THE STORY

THAT BRITNEY SPEARS AND

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE HAD BROKEN UP.

AND THEN THE NEXT WEEK, WE HAD A

FOLLOW-UP TO THAT STORY, AND WE

CREATED THESE SOAP OPERAS.

>> THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS

ON THE TABLOIDS EVERY WEEK FOR

MAYBE TWO YEAR STRAIGHT...

>> TRY EVERY DAY.

>> ...AND A SOAP OPERA.

[ "THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS"

THEME PLAYS ]

IF YOU'RE IN A RELATIONSHIP, AND

YOU'RE IN THE TABLOIDS ALL THE

TIME, IT'S LIKE, "WELL, MAYBE

THAT PART WAS TRUE.

MAYBE IT WASN'T."

THEN, ALL THE SUDDEN, YOU'RE A

VICTIM TO BELIEVING WHAT THEY'RE

SAYING AND WHAT THEY'RE WRITING.

>> GOSSIP IS ITSELF JUST AS MUCH

OF A PRODUCT AS A MOVIE IS.

ACTUAL PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE TURNED

INTO A STORY FOR US TO CONSUME.

FOR EXAMPLE, WITH THE LOVE

TRIANGLE OF BRAD PITT AND

ANGELINA JOLIE AND

JENNIFER ANISTON AND ALSO WITH

LIZ TAYLOR AND EDDIE FISHER AND

DEBBIE REYNOLDS IN THE 1950s,

EACH OF THE PEOPLE IN BOTH OF

THESE SITUATIONS WAS GIVEN A

ROLE TO PLAY -- THE TEMPTRESS,

THE INNOCENT MAN IN THE MIDDLE,

AND THEN THE VICTIM.

AND ONCE JENNIFER ANISTON WAS

MADE THE VICTIM, IT'S VERY

DIFFICULT FOR HER TO BECOME

SOMETHING ELSE, WHICH IS THE

REASON WHY THERE ARE STILL

MAGAZINE COVERS NOW, YEARS

LATER, SAYING JENNIFER ANISTON

CAN'T FIND LOVE,

JENNIFER ANISTON CAN'T GET OVER

HIM, BECAUSE THAT IS STILL HER

ROLE IS VICTIM, WHEN, REALLY,

SHE'S OF COURSE FOUND HAPPINESS,

AND SHE'S DATED OTHER PEOPLE AND

WHATEVER.

BUT THAT HAS BEEN THE ROLE IN

WHICH SHE HAS BEEN SLOTTED.

>> IN THE EARLY DAYS OF

US WEEKLY BECOMING SUCCESSFUL,

PEOPLE MAGAZINE BEGAN TO

FEATURE MORE OF THESE BREAKUPS

AND WHO'S DATING WHOM.

>> WHEN US WANTED TO SCOOP

PEOPLE, AT WHATEVER COST, SO

THAT THEY COULD CLAIM THE

EXCLUSIVE AND THUS ATTRACT

BIGGER NEWSSTAND SALES.

>> THERE WAS THIS GREAT PHOTO OF

JENNIFER LOPEZ READING

US WEEKLY, AND WE WANTED THAT

SHOT.

BUT PEOP MAGAZINE OUTBID US

ALL DAY.

IT KEPT GOING UP AND UP AND UP

AND UP.

AND PEOP NEVER PUBLISHED THOSE

PHOTOS, BUT THEY PAID TENS OF

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS JUST SO

THAT WE COULDN'T PUBLISH THEM.

>> WHAT HAPPENED IS A SERIES OF

BIDDING WARS FOR PHOTOS UNDER

BONNIE FULLER AND JANICE MIN

AFTER HER THAT REALLY ESCALATED

THE PHOTO PRICE FOR ALL PHOTOS.

EVEN SMALL PHOTOS INSIDE THE

MAGAZINE, THEY STILL WANTED TO

BE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD THEM.

BONNIE FULLER FLIPPED THE

DEMAND.

SO, INSTEAD OF JUST TRACKING

THE MOMENTS WHEN A STAR WAS

EITHER DOING SOMETHING

SCANDALOUS OR DOING SOMETHING

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY GLAMOROUS,

REALLY ON, THE PAPARAZZI NOW

NEEDED PHOTOS OF THE STARS DOING

EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, WHICH

MEANT NEAR 24-HOUR SURVEILLANCE.

[ HORNS HONKING ]

>> ONCE YOU SPOT A CAR, YOU LOOK

AT THE LAST THREE NUMBERS OF THE

LICENSE PLATE THAT YOU MATCH

WITH THE CAR.

NICKY HILTON -- BLACK

RANGE ROVER, 069.

>> PAPARAZZI KNOW ALL THE

LICENSE-PLATE NUMBERS.

THEY KNOW ALL THE TAIL-PLANE

NUMBERS OF THEIR PLANES.

>> FIND OUT AND THEN CALL ME OR

TEXT ME BACK.

>> THEY PAY PEOPLE OFF -- VALET

PARKERS, THE DOORMEN AT HOT

RESTAURANTS AND CLUBS.

>> WHOO! WE GOT PARIS HILTON.

>> THEY HAVE A NETWORK OF

INFORMANTS.

>> CHECK OUT WHAT'S HAPPENING.

WANT TO SEE IF OUR CROWD'S

MOVING ACROSS THE STREET RIGHT

NOW.

THERE'S A LOT OF PAPARAZZIS

AND THEIR CARS.

YOU SEE THE GUY'S GOT THE TRUNK

OPEN.

THERE'S A PATH.

GET DOWN IN POSITION OURSELVES.

>> SO, NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT...

>> WHEN YOU KNOW YOU SEE ONE,

YOU JUST GOT TO DEAL WITH ONE

GUY, AND YOU HOPE AND PRAY THAT

HE DOESN'T START CALLING ALL HIS

FRIENDS, YOU KNOW?

>> GO, GO!

>> WITHIN 15 MINUTES, THERE ARE

5 OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE.

LET THE TWO GUYS GET THE SHOT

AND BE DONE WITH IT.

BUT WHY THERE HAS TO BE

50 PEOPLE GETTING THE SAME

SHOT...

>> IF I SAW SOMEONE I WANT TO

PHOTOGRAPH WALK OUT OF THE

HOUSE, I SURE AS HELL WOULDN'T

CALL MY BUDDIES.

WHY NOT ENJOY THE ENTIRE PIECE

OF STEAK?

I DON'T GET THE WHOLE CALL

FRIENDS AND RELATIVES AND...

[ GROWLS ]

>> IT'S LITERALLY BEING PURSUED

LIKE PREY, LIKE AN ANIMAL.

>> WHAT'S "THE PRICE OF BEAUTY"

REALLY WORTH?

>> THERE'S NO KIND OF STRUCTURE.

THERE'S NO TYPE OF REGULATIONS.

THERE'S JUST "GET THAT PICTURE.

GET THAT SHOT.

I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES."

>> THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT

BREAKING THE LAW.

THEY'LL CLIMB A WALL AND TAKE

PICTURES OVER THE GATE.

THEY'VE DONE IT AT MY OFFICE, IN

MY BACKYARD.

THEY DO IT, THE HELICOPTER.

YOU'RE IN YOUR BACKYARD, AND THE

HELICOPTER'S COMING THAT LOW,

AND YOU KEEP RUNNING IN.

AND IT'S LIKE A STUPID GAME OF,

YOU KNOW...

>> HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO REASON

WITH -- I KNOW THAT --

>> I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO REASON.

OH, MY GOD, HAVE I TRIED TO

REASON.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

I HAVE TRIED TO REASON WITH

THEM.

I HAVE HAD TALKS ABOUT "COME ON.

THERE'S BETTER THINGS THAT YOU

CAN DO.

YOU CAN ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS."

I MEAN, IT'S STUPID.

IT'S JUST GOTTEN OUT OF CONTROL.

>> THERE ARE CERTAIN INSTANCES

WHERE THE PAPARAZZI ARE GONNA

JUST OVEREXCITE THEMSELVES.

>> MOVE!

>> YOU GOT TO MOVE!

>> CAMERAS GET BROKEN.

PEOPLE GET HURT -- THE

AGGRESSION, THE HITS, THE

ELBOWS.

>> YOU WON'T GET NO VIDEO, MAN.

>> I TRY TO AVOID IT, BUT THIS

IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

GET THAT SHOT, NO MATTER WHAT.

[ ALL CLAMORING ]

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

>> I HAD A VERY PUBLIC

RELATIONSHIP THAT FELL APART,

AND I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST

CANCER, AND I HAD NEVER BEEN AN

A-LIST CELEBRITY BEFORE.

I PRETTY MUCH WAS JUST

PHOTOGRAPHED ON RED CARPETS AND

MAYBE THE OCCASIONAL LUNCH AT

THE IVY OR WHATEVER.

BUT ONCE THAT HAPPENED -- ONCE I

WAS DIAGNOSED, AND I WAS GOING

THROUGH SUCH UNHAPPINESS AND

SUCH REAL DARK CHAOS IN MY

LIFE -- I COULDN'T LEAVE MY

HOUSE.

AND IT REALLY MADE ME, I GUESS,

START TO DISSECT WHAT IT IS THAT

WOULD MAKE THAT SUCH AN

INTERESTING THING TO PHOTOGRAPH

AND IS THAT WHAT SELLS MAGAZINES

IS SEEING SOMEBODY AT THEIR

LOWEST?

>> A WORD THAT HAS BECOME

ABSOLUTELY MEANINGLESS TODAY IS

"UNSPEAKABLE."

THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S

UNSPEAKABLE ANYMORE.

>> YOU KNOW, STARS' CELLULITE.

THEY PUMP GAS, TOO.

THERE ARE STILL LOVE TRIANGLES.

IT'S DEGRADING TO WOMEN,

ESPECIALLY THE WAY THEY SHOW

WOMEN CELEBRITIES.

IT'S JUST, LIKE...

>> I WAS IN HAWAII, AND I HAVE

THIS HORRIBLE BIKINI SHOT THAT A

PAPARAZZI GOT AND CRAP LIGHT AND

A WEIRD ANGLE, AND IT'S

TERRIBLE.

AND IT WAS EVERYWHERE.

AND THEY DID EVERYTHING TO JUST

MAKE ME LOOK LIKE I WAS JUST

THIS BEACHED WHALE WITH

CELLULITE THIGHS.

IT WAS JUST SO BAD, AND I WAS

LIKE, "OH, MY GOD, DO I LOOK

LIKE THIS?"

>> I HAVE A LITTLE GIRL.

I DON'T READ THIS IN FRONT OF

HER.

I DON'T REALLY READ ANY OF MY

MAGAZINES IN FRONT OF MY

DAUGHTER BECAUSE I DON'T WANT

HER TO GET THAT BAD BODY IMAGE

AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, AND IT

HAPPENS REALLY YOUNG.

I'VE HAD LITTLE GIRLS AS A

TEACHER TELL ME THEY'RE FAT AT

FOUR YEARS OLD.

WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THIS FROM?

I THINK THE MAGAZINES AND THE

MEDIA ARE THE CATAPULT.

THAT'S THE BREEDING GROUND FOR

THEM.

WHETHER IT BE PEOPLE, US,

InStyle, GLAMOUR, VOGUE -- THEY

ALL PORTRAY WOMEN AS THIS

UNTOUCHABLE GOAL.

>> YOU CAN CREATE THE ILLUSION

THAT SOMEONE IS A NORMAL,

ORDINARY PERSON.

IN OTHER WORDS, JOAN CRAWFORD

VACUUMS HER OWN HOUSE, OR SHE

HAS THE PERFECT FAMILY.

OR YOU CAN CREATE THE ILLUSION

THAT THEY'RE ALOOF AND

ARISTOCRATIC GODDESSES.

BUT CONTROL WAS THE NAME OF THE

GAME.

AND THE WHOLE APPARATUS GREW UP

AROUND THAT NEED.

>> THE STUDIO SYSTEM DETERMINED

WHICH MOVIES THE STARS WOULD

APPEAR IN.

IT ALSO DETERMINED WHERE THEY

WOULD LIVE, WHAT CARS THEY WOULD

DRIVE, AND, IN CERTAIN CASES,

WHO THEY WOULD MARRY.

IT ALSO PROVIDED THEM WITH

PROTECTION.

ALL OF THE IMAGES CAME THROUGH

THE STUDIO'S PUBLICITY

DEPARTMENT.

SO, IF YOU WERE RUNNING A FAN

MAGAZINE, AND YOU RAN A

PHOTOGRAPH WHICH WAS

UNFLATTERING, THAT WAS IT.

YOU DIDN'T GET ANOTHER

PHOTOGRAPH NOT ONLY OF THAT STAR

BUT OF ALL THE OTHER STARS THAT

WERE WORKING FOR THAT PARTICULAR

STUDIO.

>> IF ONE OF THEIR STARS WAS

INVOLVED IN A SCANDAL, THE

STUDIO WOULD RUSH RIGHT IN AND

DO DAMAGE CONTROL.

IT COULD BE HUSHED UP.

SO, THE CONTROL AT THAT TIME WAS

FAIRLY EASY.

>> IT'S JUST NOT THE CASE

ANYMORE.

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA CAN SAY,

"WE WON'T REPORT ABOUT 'X,'

'Y,' OR 'Z,'" AND IT'S STILL

GONNA BE WIDELY KNOWN BECAUSE SO

MANY ARE REPORTING IT ON THE

INTERNET.

SO, THE KIND OF CONTROL THAT

CELEBRITIES AND THEIR MANAGERS

AND THEIR STUDIOS USED TO HAVE

OVER THEIR IMAGES SIMPLY DOES

NOT EXIST ANYMORE.

>> TMZ IS NOT ABOUT GETTING THE

NEXT TOM CRUISE INTERVIEW.

IT'S JUST NOT.

AND SO, I DON'T THINK THERE'S AS

MUCH LEVERAGE.

>> HARVEY LEVIN GOT HIS START AS

A LAWYER AND CORRESPONDENT

COVERING THE O.J. SIMPSON TRIAL

IN THE 1990s.

>> POLICE ARE BANKING ON BLOOD

IN THE FORD BRONCO...

>> HE STARTED TMZ IN 2004, AND

WHAT TMZ IS DOING IS TAKING THE

TACTICS, THE FORM, THE COLORS,

THE GENERAL ETHOS OF

CONFIDENTIAL, AND JUST

TRANSFERRING IT TO NEW MEDIUM.

>> A LITTLE OVER HALF PAST THE

HOUR NOW.

HERE'S A LOOK AT THE STORIES

THAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED.

LINDSAY LOHAN...

>> CABLE NEWS PUSHED THE NETWORK

NEWS TO BE FASTER AND MORE

IMMEDIATE.

AND NOW THE NETWORK NEWS AND

CABLE NEWS ARE IN MANY WAYS

RESPONDING TO WHAT HAPPENS ON

THE INTERNET.

>> MEDIA HABITS HAVE TOTALLY

CHANGED WAYS OF GETTING

INFORMATION.

PEOPLE GO ONLINE.

THEY DON'T WAIT FOR A WEEKLY.

THEY DON'T WAIT FOR A MONTHLY

MAGAZINE ANYMORE.

WHEN SOME NEWS BREAKS, THEY WANT

TO KNOW NOW WHAT'S GOING ON.

>> WHENEVER SOMETHING HAPPENS TO

JUSTIN BIEBER -- LIKE, HIS

BIRTHDAY WAS YESTERDAY --

GOOGLE, SENT TO MY PHONE.

ROBERT PATTINSON GOT A NEW

HAIRCUT.

SENT TO MY PHONE.

TMZ JUST FASCINAT-- I'M OBSESSED

WITH tmz.com.

>> IN 2006, TMZ BROKE THE STORY

OF MEL GIBSON'S ARREST, WHICH

DROVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF

TRAFFIC TO THE SITE.

SINCE THEN, TMZ HAS GROWN INTO

AN INCREDIBLY WELL-READ SITE.

THEY THEN WENT ON TO USE THE

BASE PRODUCT, THIS RAW FOOTAGE

FROM THE WEBSITE, AND THEN CAME

UP WITH A WAY THAT HE COULD

REPACKAGE IT ON TELEVISION.

>> TODAY, ON "TMZ"...

>> FINALLY, SNOOKI IS GOOD.

>> NICOLE, YOU WERE AMAZING ON

"WRESTLEMANIA."

YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

>> IF YOU ASK AROUND, AND YOU

SAY, "WHY DO YOU COME TO TMZ?"

INCREASINGLY, WHAT YOU'RE GONNA

HEAR PEOPLE SAY IS, "THEY SEEM

TO GET THE STORIES FIRST."

>> WHEN I WAS RUNNING MSNBC, WE

WOULD DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE

THE SOURCE WAS CREDIBLE.

BUT THESE NEWS OPERATIONS SIMPLY

DON'T HAVE THE TIME OR THE

ABILITY TO FACT-CHECK SOME OF

WHAT THEY'RE REPORTING.

>> YOU KNOW, THAT WAS A TERRIBLE

MISQUOTE, AND IT'S VERY GOOD

THAT YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.

I NEVER SAID THAT IN THAT

CONTEXT.

>> HE NEVER TALKED TO THOSE

PEOPLE, AND I NEVER TALKED TO

THOSE PEOPLE, EITHER.

THEY MAKE UP THINGS!

YEAH, THEY DO!

>> IT'S VERY TOUGH,

UNFORTUNATELY, FOR A CELEBRITY

TO SUE A PUBLICATION.

YOU HAVE TO PROVE MALICE.

YOU HAVE TO PROVE NEGLIGENCE.

ALSO, A LOT OF CELEBRITIES DON'T

WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO A

STORY THAT IS COMPLETELY WRONG

OR DEFAMATORY OR GIVE PUBLICITY

TO SOME BLOGGER WHO'S WORKING

OUT OF HIS GARAGE.

IF YOU SUE THAT PERSON, SUDDENLY

YOU MAKE THEIR SITE RELEVANT.

>> I HAD A BIG, FAMOUS LAWSUIT

AGAINST THE SUN NEWSPAPER IN

BRITAIN A LONG TIME AGO, IN THE

'80s, WHICH DROVE ME CRAZY -- IT

WENT ON FOR A YEAR AND A HALF --

THAT SAID THAT I SLEPT WITH

UNDERAGE RENT BOYS, GAVE THEM

DRUGS, URINATED ON THEM.

I MEAN, IT MADE MY LIFE HELL.

BUT I GOT A FRONT-PAGE APOLOGY,

WHICH WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT

THING FOR ME.

"WE WERE WRONG. WE'RE SORRY."

NOW, PEOPLE CAN JUST MAKE UP

WHAT THEY WANT ON THE INTERNET,

AND AS SOON AS THEY PUT IT ON

THE INTERNET, IT GOES WORLDWIDE.

SO YOU'RE FOREVER DENYING

THINGS.

>> THEY DISCOURAGE YOU FROM

GOING AFTER THE TABLOIDS.

LIKE, A LAWYER WILL BE LIKE,

"IT'S GONNA COST YOU SO MUCH

MONEY, AND IT'S GONNA TAKE SO

MUCH TIME, AND IT'S NOT GONNA

MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND NOBODY'S

GONNA CARE ABOUT THE STORY

TOMORROW."

AND THEY CONVINCE YOU TO JUST

DEAL WITH IT.

>> WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN YOU'RE

HEARING RUMORS THAT ARE NOT TRUE

ON A CNN CRAWL, THAT -- YOU SORT

OF GO, "THIS IS CNN."

I DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY AT

THIS POINT, BUT THERE WAS

SOMETHING ABOUT THE OUTLET OF

CNN THAT FELT LIKE THAT'S A

PRESTIGIOUS CHANNEL.

>> IF YOU RESPOND TO CERTAIN

THINGS, YOU'RE RIGHT IN THE

SANDBOX WITH THEM.

IF YOU DON'T RESPOND, THE STORY

NOW GROWS BECAUSE OF THE VIRAL

WORLD AND BECAUSE OF 24-HOUR

NEWS CYCLE.

SO, WE'RE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO

FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT OUT A

FIRE.

>> PERFECT EXAMPLE IS

TIGER WOODS.

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

HE ISSUED A STATEMENT THAT HE

HAD "TRANSGRESSIONS," AND THEN

HE DISAPPEARED FOR MONTHS.

WOMEN CAME OUT OF THE WOODWORK,

AND IT ENDED UP BEING A GIANT

SCANDAL BECAUSE HE LET IT BLOW

UP.

>> THINK OF THIS AS A SYSTEM.

ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS HERE ALSO

HAS A CHAIN REACTION THROUGHOUT

THE REST OF THE INDUSTRY, LIKE

TIGER WOODS, WHO, WE WERE BEING

SERVED A VERY TIGHTLY CONTROLLED

IMAGE.

AS SOON AS THE SCANDAL BROKE, A

WATCH COMPANY OR NIKE DOESN'T

WANT THEIR NAME AFFILIATED WITH

THIS SORT OF BEHAVIOR.

>> THIS MORNING, TMZ REPORTS...

>> TMZ IS SAYING...

>> TMZ HAS LEARNED...

>> UNTIL VERY RECENTLY, MAJOR

NEWS ORGANIZATIONS WOULDN'T HAVE

CITED A TMZ AS A SOURCE.

AND NOW THEY DO.

>> THERE'S SOMETHING BEYOND JUST

REPORTING WHO'S MAKING OUT WITH

WHOM.

THEREIN LIES THE LOVE/HATE

RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH

SOMEONE LIKE LEVIN.

HE'S ILLUMINATING THINGS THAT WE

MAYBE DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT

THAT WE ALSO FEEL WE SHOULD KNOW

ABOUT.

BUT THEN, ON THE FLIP SIDE,

THERE'S A LOT OF SAGGING FLESH

AND GIVING THE CAMERA THE

FINGER.

SO, A BLOG WILL HAVE

UNAUTHORIZED CONTENT THAT MAY OR

MAY NOT BE FALSE.

MAYBE IN A POST RIGHT ABOVE OR

BELOW, JOURNALISTIC CONTENT.

>> IT'S DICTATING THAT WE LEARN

HOW TO DO OUR HOMEWORK, NOT

BELIEVE EVERYTHING WE'RE READING

IN BLOGS BECAUSE EVERYBODY HAS

AN ANGLE.

WE'RE AT A REALLY DANGEROUS SPOT

AS FAR AS OUR INABILITY TO

DISCERN WHAT IS FACT AND WHAT IS

FICTION.

>> YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO

BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ.

[ TAPE REWINDS ]

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO

BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ.

>> THIS ONE...

>> YEAH.

>> ...KIND OF SHOCKS ME.

>> YEAH, YEAH.

>> BUT IT'S PROBABLY NOT EVEN

TRUE.

>> AND WE'LL READ IT.

>> WE'LL STILL READ IT.

>> YEAH.

>> YOU CAN'T BEAT THE TRUTH OF A

CAMERA, AND THIS IS WHAT THE

CELEBRITIES ARE PARANOID ABOUT.

THE CAMERA DOESN'T LIE.

IT DOESN'T STOP THE BOTOX, IT

DOESN'T STOP THE SURGERY, AND IT

DOESN'T STOP YOU HAVING SEX WITH

A COSTAR.

THIS IS REAL.

NO ONE CAN LIE ABOUT THIS

PICTURE.

IT'S THERE.

AND THAT'S ONE OF THE GREAT,

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCES THAT

PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MEDIA BRING

TODAY.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE

CELEBRITIES.

IT'S INSTANTANEOUS.

THEY HAVE NO CONTROL.

>> EVEN WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

AUTHORIZED PHOTOS, THERE'S STILL

A LOT THE CELEBRITIES CAN'T

CONTROL.

>> * TAKE IT OUT, BABY,

AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU REALLY

WANT *

* THEY'LL NOT EVER SEE

THE BEAUTY INSIDE *

>> THIS IS PRETTY MUCH HOW WE

RECEIVE THINGS BACK HERE.

PRETTY MUCH THEIR ENTIRE BODY

GETS RETOUCHED.

WELL, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE.

HERE, WHERE IT ASKS TO CUT IN,

WE CUT IN.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL

THE RED CARPETS MATCH, AND IT

DOESN'T.

SO, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIX

THAT.

SOME OF THE TIME, THE PEOPLE IN

THE BACKGROUND THAT YOU SEE ARE

NOT REALLY THERE OR ARE

DUPLICATED.

WE GET RID OF STAINS ON HER

DRESS...

AND WE TRY TO GET RID OF HT

WRINKLES.

PAPARAZZI SHOTS NEED A LOT MORE

TLC THAN A PHOTO THAT WE GET

FROM A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER.

THAT'S DEFINITELY A LOT LESS

WORK.

AND LET'S HELP HER A LITTLE BIT,

'CAUSE SHE LOOKS A LITTLE TIRED.

SOMETIMES WE GET PHOTOS THAT

ARE, YOU KNOW, GREEN.

YEAH, BUT WE CAN FIX THAT.

>> THE IDEA THAT A PICTURE NEVER

LIES IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.

A PICTURE CAPTURES SOMEBODY AT A

PARTICULAR MOMENT IN TIME.

A CELEBRITY CAN TELL A JOKE AND

PULL A FACE OR SOMETHING.

AND THEN, WHEN THAT PERSON IS IN

TROUBLE, THAT IMAGE WILL APPEAR,

AND IT WILL LOOK LIKE IT WAS

SHOT AT THE SAME TIME IN

REACTION TO SOMETHING THAT

THEY'VE DONE.

SO, IMAGES DON'T ALWAYS TELL THE

TRUTH.

IT'S THE CONTEXT.

THE CONTEXT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

SO, I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO BE

MORE DISCERNING WHEN THEY'RE

LOOKING AT IMAGES.

>> RENEE ZELLWEGER'S PROBABLY

ONE OF THE TOUGHEST SHOTS TO GET

BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T REALLY COME

OUT AND BE SEEN AS OFTEN AS WE'D

LIKE HER TO BE SEEN.

>> HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A WHILE.

>> YOU'RE LOOKING GREAT.

>> THAT WAS EXHILARATING.

I ENJOY MAKING HER SMILE AND

LAUGH AND MAKING HER FEEL GOOD,

YOU KNOW?

THE RIDE IS ABOUT STAYING IN THE

PUBLIC EYE, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE

FORGOTTEN, THEN MY CAMERA GOES

DOWN, AND THEN THE WORLD DOESN'T

KNOW OR EVEN WANT TO CARE ABOUT

WHO THEY ARE ANYMORE.

YOU'LL BE GONE IN A FLASH.

IT'S CALLED HOLLYWOOD.

>> WHO MAKES THEM FAMOUS?

WELL, ACTUALLY, I DO.

THEY'RE RELIANT ON THE PAPARAZZI

TO PHOTOGRAPH THEM TO MAKE THEM

MONEY.

>> THAT'S DELUSIONAL.

THAT IS ABSOLUTELY DELUSIONAL.

PAPARAZZI DO NOT KEEP YOUR

CAREER ALIVE.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT SAYING,

"DON'T TAKE OUR PICTURES."

WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S A MARKET

HERE.

BUT A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU IN YOUR

BACKYARD SUNBATHING TOPLESS,

'CAUSE YOU CAN AND YOU SHOULD BE

ABLE TO, THAT'S A VIOLATION.

AND A PHOTOGRAPH THAT'S IN A

MAGAZINE -- THERE'S AN AGREEMENT

THAT THIS IS MY JOB, AND I'M TO

BE PHOTOGRAPHED.

ONE IS LIKE HAVING SOMEONE ROB

YOUR HOUSE AND GO INTO YOUR

PANTY DRAWER, AND THE OTHER IS

SOMETHING ARTISTIC AND

BEAUTIFUL, AND BOTH ARE IN

AGREEMENT THAT THIS IS GOING TO

TAKE PLACE.

MAINSTREAM.

>> FRANKLY, THEY STOPPED TELLING

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT THE WORLD,

AND THEY JUST TELL GOSSIP.

>> MAYBE YOU NEED A -- LIKE,

SOMETIMES, YOU, YOU KNOW, WATCH

SO MANY THINGS OR SOMEBODY'S

GOTTEN STABBED, LIKE, ALL DAY

LONG, AND THERE WAS A FLOOD

HERE.

THERE'S AN EARTHQUAKE THERE.

LIKE, MAYBE YOU KIND OF WANT TO

KNOW THE NEW SHIRT THAT

BRAD PITT'S WEARING.

>> WHO DOESN'T LIKE A GOOD

HOLLYWOOD ESCAPE FROM TIME TO

TIME?

>> THERE'S AN ARGUMENT THAT

CELEBRITIES ACT AS

"INFO-TAINMENT"...

>> ...PARKINSON'S AWARENESS

MONTH.

MICHAEL J. FOX...

>> ...ACTUALLY OFTEN HELPING

ISSUES OF REAL CONCERN GETTING

INTO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

SO, FOR INSTANCE, IF

TRAGICALLY, A CELEBRITY IS ILL

WITH BREAST CANCER OR SOMETHING

LIKE THAT, IT DOES RAISE

AWARENESS.

>> DOES SPEAK TO THE IMPORTANCE

OF SCREENING...

>> BUT THERE'S CONCERN ON THE

OTHER HAND THAT FOCUSING SO MUCH

ON THE MINUTIAE OF HOW FAMOUS

PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES IS JUST

DIVERTING ATTENTION FROM ISSUES

WHICH THE PRESS SHOULD BE

FILLING THEIR PAGES WITH.

>> SARAH PALIN, ENTERTAINMENT OR

JOURNALISM?

>> SARAH PALIN IS A VERY GOOD

EXAMPLE OF THE WAY IN WHICH

CELEBRITY CULTURE HAS INFLUENCED

POLITICS.

>> I'M READY, AND CROSS MY

FINGERS, HOPING IT WASN'T A

MISTAKE.

>> I MEAN, SAY WHAT YOU WILL

ABOUT SARAH PALIN.

SHE HAS BEEN BRILLIANT IN

MANIPULATING HER IMAGE.

>> WHAT AN ADRENALINE RUSH.

>> I THINK THERE'S REAL

INDECISION OVER WHETHER OR NOT

SARAH PALIN REALLY WANTS TO BE

PRESIDENT, OR IF SHE JUST WANTS

TO BE A CELEBRITY.

I THINK IT'S UNCLEAR.

>> IT CERTAINLY IS THE QUESTION

THAT'S UNITED HOLLYWOOD AND

WASHINGTON.

>> DEMOCRACY BECOMES ANOTHER

REALITY SHOW.

>> IS TRUMP ACTUALLY SERIOUS

ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?

>> THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR ANYONE.

>> IF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WERE

TO FOLD, AND CELEBRITY TABLOIDS

WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE OUT THERE

PUBLISHING, IT WOULD MEAN THAT

OUR ENTIRE SYSTEM OF DEMOCRACY

HAS COLLAPSED.

DEMOCRACY RELIES ON AN INFORMED

ELECTORATE TO MAKE EDUCATED

DECISIONS AT THE BALLOT BOX.

YOU CAN ONLY DO THAT IF YOU HAVE

ACCESS TO TRUTHFUL, TIMELY

INFORMATION.

THE PUBLIC HAS A LOT OF

RESPONSIBILITY HERE.

THE PAPARAZZI DOESN'T GET AWAY

WITH THIS IN A VACUUM.

SO, I THINK CITIZENS NEED TO

STEP UP AND START VALUING THAT

INFORMATION THEY'RE GETTING FROM

THEIR LOCAL NEWS GATHERERS.

>> ...THE PARIS HILTON STORY.

>> WAIT A SECOND HERE.

>> HOLD ON A SECOND.

I'M GONNA MAKE A POINT.

WE'RE NOT COVERING THIS, ALL

RIGHT?

>> YEAH, EXACTLY.

EASY, EASY.

>> I'M DONE WITH THE

PARIS HILTON STORIES.

>> WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST

PARIS HILTON?

>> I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST

PARIS HILTON.

THAT WAS NOT THE ISSUE.

THE ISSUE WAS THE STORY AND

WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS WORTHY AS

THE LEAD.

[ ALL CLAMORING ]

>> PARIS, I LOVE YOUR LIPS.

>> I THINK AT THIS POINT IT'S

GETTING TO BE SUPPLY LEADING

DEMAND, BECAUSE LOOK AT HOW MANY

MAGAZINES THERE ARE NOW.

IT'S LIKE, "DO WE REALLY NEED

THAT?"

BUT PEOPLE KEEP PICKING THEM UP.

>> I'LL WALK THROUGH AN AIRPORT,

AND THERE WILL BE THREE OUT OF

FOUR PEOPLE BURIED IN THIS

MAGAZINE, AND I'LL WALK THROUGH,

AND NO ONE WILL NOTICE ME, WHICH

IS GREAT.

BUT THERE IS SOME IRONY THERE.

AND I UNDERSTAND IT, 'CAUSE I

CAN GET SUCKED INTO IT.

I CAN SPEND 20 MINUTES ON AN

AIRPLANE AND FLIP THROUGH THAT

STUFF, AND I CAN BE IN THAT

WORLD, READING ABOUT WHO'S

DATING WHO OR LOOKING AT

SOMEBODY'S CELLULITE ON A BEACH

OR WHATEVER.

AND IT MAKES ME FEEL AWFUL.

>> YOU KNOW, THE CELEBRITIES ARE

FAMOUS PEOPLE.

THEY KNOW THAT.

THEY WORK HARD, I THINK, TO

BECOME A CELEBRITY IN THE FIRST

PLACE, AND THEN YOU GOT THEIR

PICTURE ALL OVER THE MAGAZINES.

I DON'T FEEL GUILTY AT ALL.

PLUS, I'M BUYING THE MAGAZINES.

IT COSTS ME A LITTLE BIT OF

MONEY TO EVEN BUY THE MAGAZINES.

SO...I DON'T FEEL GUILTY.

>> IT COMES WITH YOUR JOB.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS LIFE.

YOU WANTED TO BE IN THE

LIMELIGHT, IN THE SPOTLIGHT, SO

DEAL WITH IT.

>> YEAH, I KIND OF ASKED FOR

THIS LIFE AND KIND OF KNEW THAT

THIS WAS PART OF IT THAT COMES

WITH IT.

BUT THE SAME WAY THE MAGAZINES

MAKE MONEY, THEY MAKE MONEY FOR

ME.

THEY GET THE WORD OUT THAT I

HAVE A RECORD OUT THERE AND PUT

ME IN SOME LIGHT THAT HOPEFULLY

SHINES THAT PEOPLE CONNECT TO

AND MAKE THEM WANT TO HEAR MY

RECORD.

THERE'S A PRICE TO FAME.

ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY IT?

>> YES, THAT'S PART OF YOUR JOB

IS PROMOTING YOUR WORK.

BUT NOT -- I DON'T THINK IT'S

YOUR JOB WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO A

YOGA CLASS.

THAT'S NOT YOUR JOB.

THAT'S AN INVASION OF PRIVACY,

AND THEY NEED TO STOP.

>> LOOK.

I HAVE A GREAT LIFE.

I WOULDN'T TRADE MYSELF, EVEN

WITH THE PAPARAZZI FOLLOWING ME.

BUT NOT BECAUSE I HAVE A GREAT

LIFE THEY SHOULD FEEL LIKE THEY

OWN IT.

>> WE REPRESENTED

BARBRA STREISAND FOR MANY, MANY

YEARS, AND I GOT INTO THE HABIT

OF CARRYING A LARGE, BLACK

UMBRELLA, WHETHER THE WEATHER

CALLED FOR IT OR NOT.

AND IF I SAW PHOTOGRAPHERS

COMING TOWARDS US, I WOULD OPEN

THE UMBRELLA, AND LIKE TWO

FOOLS, WE WOULD WALK DOWN THE

STREET WITH THE UMBRELLA IN

FRONT OF ME SO THE PHOTOGRAPHERS

WOULD NOT TAKE HER PICTURE.

SHE DID NOT WANT HER PICTURE

TAKEN.

ON THE OTHER HAND,

FRANK SINATRA, WHO WE

REPRESENTED, CONTROLLED THAT

PART OF HIS CELEBRITY BY NEVER

APPEARING IN PUBLIC.

[ LAUGHS ]

SINATRA WOULDN'T WALK DOWN THE

STREET.

IF HE HAD TO GO FROM HERE TO

THERE, IT WAS IN A CAR.

>> DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE

IN THE TRUNK OF SOMEBODY'S CAR,

TRYING TO GET AWAY?

IN GINA'S CAR?

>> MM-HMM.

>> WE WERE JUST LAYING IN THE

TRUNK.

I'M LIKE, "WHEN DID THIS

HAPPEN?"

>> I WANTED TO GO SHOPPING.

>> I'M LIKE, "I'M IN A TRUNK

WITH MY GIRLFRIEND," AND I'M

LIKE, "THIS IS YOUR LIFE?"

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO

ABOUT IT.

I WAS LIKE, "I BEG TO DIFFER.

I BEG TO DIFFER."

>> YOU FEEL OUT OF CONTROL, LIKE

YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS,

AND THEN YOU REALIZE, "I HAVE TO

ACTUALLY CHANGE MY LIFE."

>> WE'VE MOVED OUT OF MIAMI.

WE'VE TAKEN MEASURES TO JUST

SORT OF CONCENTRATE ON THE

QUALITY OF LIFE.

>> THERE'S A LOT OF PLACES WHERE

YOU CAN LIVE, WHERE THERE ARE

NOT PAPARAZZI.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE

PUBLIC EYE.

THERE'S WAYS TO AVOID THE

CAMERAS.

>> AND THEN THEY'LL SAY, "WELL,

SHE'S ISOLATED.

SHE LIVES A RAREFIED LIFE.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE HUMAN

TOUCH.

SHE'S NOT..."

WELL, I'M DESPERATE TO BE LIKE

YOU AND YOU AND YOU.

>> THEY TOLD ME THEY'RE COMING

OVER.

>> THE BIG BLACK GUY?

>> YEAH.

>> YEAH, OKAY.

>> HERE COMES SPENCER.

HERE SHE COMES.

>> HEY!

>> HEY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPENCER!

[ CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK ]

>> MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT.

>> LET'S SEE IT. LET'S SEE IT.

>> THE PROBLEM ALWAYS IS THAT

CERTAIN CELEBRITIES INVITE IN

THE ATTENTION.

AND SO, THE RESPONSE OF THE

MEDIA IS, "WELL, WE'RE GETTING

CALLED."

>> THEY SHOULD HAVE AN

AGREEMENT.

WHETHER IT'S THE PARIS HILTONS

OR THE GIRLS THAT DON'T HAVE AN

ISSUE WITH IT, THE

"JERSEY SHORES," ALL THOSE

TELEVISION SHOWS -- THERE SHOULD

BE AN AGREEMENT.

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT

EVERYBODY ELSE IS A

FREE-FOR-ALL.

>> WHAT COULD ANY GUY WANT MORE

THAN THIS ON HIS BIRTHDAY?

>> WOW! LOOK AT THAT.

>> A LOT OF THE TIME, THEY'RE

TOLD WHERE TO BE AND WHEN.

YEAH, IT BECOMES KIND OF A GAME.

>> I'VE GOT DARREN COMING OUT.

I'M GONNA WALK HIM DOWN.

>> WELL, WHEN HE COMES, WE'LL

DEFINITELY...

>> OKAY.

>> PUBLICISTS EITHER TIP YOU, OR

THEY'LL GIVE INFORMATION OUT

INDIRECTLY, WHAT THE CLIENT

WON'T EVEN KNOW, JUST TO BUILD

MORE HYPE.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO.

THAT'S THEIR JOB.

>> YEAH, SHE WAS TWITTERING US.

>> SHE TWEETS. SHE TOLD US.

>> TWITTER HAS BECOME ANOTHER

SOURCE.

>> SHE WAS ACTUALLY TELLING US

TO COME HERE.

>> THAT'S FINE, BUT THE OWNERS

OF THE ESTABLISHMENT DON'T WANT

YOU ON THEIR PROPERTY.

IT'S NOT HER. IT'S THEM.

>> ONE TIME WE HAD A SOURCE THAT

WAS GIVING US SPECIFIC,

INCREDIBLE INFORMATION.

IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WAS

COMING FROM ANGELINA JOLIE'S

MOUTH HERSELF.

ON WHEN PITT FLEW INTO AFRICA --

PRIVATE, LITTLE RESORT -- WE HAD

THREE OR FOUR MINUTES TO GET THE

PICTURE THAT WAS BOUGHT IN AN

AUCTION OVERNIGHT BY US

MAGAZINE.

>> UNAUTHORIZED PUBLICITY

DEFINITELY HAS A ROLE IN

MAINTAINING A STAR'S VISIBILITY,

AND I THINK THAT TODAY

CELEBRITIES HAVE LEARNED TO

ALLOW JUST ENOUGH COVERAGE, SO

AS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU ARE

GIVING SOME OF YOURSELF BUT AT

THE SAME TIME MAINTAINING A

SEMBLANCE OF PRIVACY.

I MEAN, SOMEONE LIKE BRAD AND

ANGELINA HAVE A REALLY

METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED STAR

IMAGE.

BUT THEY ALSO ALLOW SLIGHT

MOMENTS OF AUTHENTICITY THAT

MAKE THEM INTERESTING.

>> ANGELINA JOLIE KNOWS EXACTLY

THE MOMENT THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE

THIS PARTICULAR PART OF HER

PERSONA EXPOSED TO THE WORLD,

THIS PARTICULAR PART OF HER LIFE

EXPOSED TO THE WORLD, AND SHE'S

BRILLIANT AT IT.

>> YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY BE

ABLE TO REINVENT YOURSELF, AND

THE ONES WHO STAY BEFORE US

REALLY ARE THE ONES WHO, ONE WAY

OR ANOTHER, MANAGE TO DO

SOMETHING THAT KEEPS US

INTERESTED AND FASCINATED.

>> THAT, TO ME, SMELLS CELEBRITY

DOUBLE STANDARDS.

I DON'T AGREE WITH IT.

I THINK IT'S COMPLETELY AND

UTTERLY WRONG.

LIKE, ANGELINA AND BRAD PITT

SAY, "UNDER MY TERMS, I'LL PUT

MY CHILDREN ON THE FRONT OF A

MAGAZINE FOR 15 MILLION BUCKS.

BUT WHEN YOU'RE PHOTOGRAPHING ME

IN A PUBLIC PLACE, UNH-UNH-UNH,

THAT'S NOT ON."

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> THAT WAS A VERY INTERESTING

CASE.

WE WORKED WITH THEM FOR FREE.

THEY WANTED ALL THE MONEY TO GO

TO CHARITY.

SO, IT WORKED PERFECTLY.

THE VALUE OF AN EXCLUSIVE IMAGE

IS VERY HIGH, BECAUSE THAT BABY

OR THAT WEDDING HASN'T BEEN

PHOTOGRAPHED BEFORE.

SO, IF WE CAN WORK WITH THE

CELEBRITIES AND GET THOSE

PICTURES OUT FIRST, IT IS A

MASSIVE DISINCENTIVE TO THE

PAPARAZZI TO CHASE AFTER THEM,

BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA GET A

LOT OF MONEY FOR THE THIRD

PICTURE OF THE BABY, WHEN THE

FIRST PICTURES HAVE BEEN

PUBLISHED EVERYWHERE.

>> PUBLICITY...

YOU KNOW, IT'S A GAME PLAYED FOR

THE BENEFIT OF EVERYONE

INVOLVED UP TO A CERTAIN POINT.

AND THAT CERTAIN POINT IS WHERE

IT GETS DANGEROUS.

>> DRIVE OUT THE GARAGE.

COUPLE YARDS DOWN THE STREET,

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR CARS.

THEY'D ALL BE SMOKING

CIGARETTES, WAITING FOR YOU TO

COME OUT.

JUMP IN THEIR CARS, AND THEN

YOU'RE OFF.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

>> THE MAIN CAR RUNS A YELLOW

LIGHT.

EVERYBODY BEHIND THAT PERSON,

THE TEN CARS, ARE RUNNING

LIGHTS UNTIL IT TURNS GREEN

AGAIN.

>> THEN YOU FIND YOURSELF

DRIVING KIND OF LIKE CRAZY JUST

TO GET AWAY FROM THEM.

>> ONE IN THE FRONT, ONE IN THE

BACK, ONE ON THE SIDE -- YOU

FEEL LIKE A TRAPPED RAT.

>> IT'S A MATTER OF PLAYING

CHICKEN.

EITHER YOU'RE GONNA STOP, OR

YOU'RE GONNA CRASH INTO THE CAR.

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

[ VEHICLES SLAM ]

[ HORN BLARES ]

>> NICOLE RICHIE WAS CHASED BY

A PAPARAZZI AND GOT IN A CAR

ACCIDENT.

THANK GOD HER CHILDREN WEREN'T

IN THE CAR.

>> IT CAN GET REALLY DANGEROUS.

LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO DIANA.

>> REPORTS SAY A VEHICLE

CARRYING THE PRINCESS AND HER

ENTOURAGE WAS BEING CHASED BY

PHOTOGRAPHERS.

SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THE

ACCIDENT, FRENCH EMERGENCY

SERVICES WERE STILL AT THE

SCENE, CUTTING PEOPLE FROM THE

WRECKAGE.

>> THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR

RECRIMINATIONS BUT FOR SADNESS.

HOWEVER, I WOULD SAY THAT I

ALWAYS BELIEVED THE PRESS WOULD

KILL HER IN THE END.

BUT NOT EVEN I COULD IMAGINE

THAT THEY WOULD TAKE SUCH A

DIRECT HAND IN HER DEATH, AS

SEEMS TO BE THE CASE.

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT EVERY

PROPRIETOR AND EDITOR OF EVERY

PUBLICATION THAT HAS PAID FOR

INTRUSIVE AND EXPLOITATIVE

PHOTOGRAPHS OF HER, ENCOURAGING

GREEDY AND RUTHLESS INDIVIDUALS

TO RISK EVERYTHING IN PURSUIT OF

DIANA'S IMAGE, HAS BLOOD ON HIS

HANDS TODAY.

>> WELL, IF THE PUBLISHERS HAVE

BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS TODAY, SO

DO THE READERS OF THOSE

MAGAZINES.

AFTER THE WHOLE SHOCK OF HER

DEATH, PEOPLE STARTED PUTTING

FLOWERS OUTSIDE

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.

AND SEVERAL LEGITIMATE NEWS

PHOTOGRAPHERS WERE ASSAULTED

BECAUSE THEY WERE TAKING

PHOTOGRAPHS OF PEOPLE PUTTING

THE FLOWERS THERE.

THE PEOPLE WHO ASSAULTED THEM

WERE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAD

BOUGHT THE MAGAZINES THAT MADE

HER IMAGE A VALUABLE COMMODITY.

PHOTOGRAPHERS WOULD NOT HAVE

CHASED HER IF THEY COULDN'T HAVE

GOT GOOD MONEY FOR THOSE

PHOTOGRAPHS.

AND IT WAS THE PEOPLE WHO WERE

BUYING THE MAGAZINES THAT WERE

ULTIMATELY SUPPLYING THAT MONEY.

>> WHEN PRINCESS DIANA DIED,

THERE WAS THAT SENSE OF "WOW,

THIS IS GONNA CHANGE

EVERYTHING."

WHAT WAS SORT OF THE IMMEDIATE

IMPACT, DO YOU THINK?

>> I THINK MEDIA INTEREST IN

PRINCESS DIANA AND PARTICULARLY

HER DEATH LED TO A CHANGE OF

CULTURE.

THE COMMERCIAL DEMAND FOR THOSE

KIND OF PHOTOS FELL.

BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE LAST

FEW YEARS, AS THE YOUNGER ROYALS

STARTING TO JOIN THE FAMILY, THE

MEDIA INTEREST IN THEM AND THE

INTRUSION IS ESCALATING AGAIN.

>> ...IS JUST 16 DAYS AWAY...

>> AND ON THE BIG DAY, A VIEWING

PARTY IN LONDON'S ICONIC

TRAFALGAR SQUARE...

>> ...THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR,

THE FIRST REAL...

>> ...MORE THAN A BILLION PAIRS

OF EYES.

>> ...ON A FAIRY TALE WE'VE ALL

BEEN LIVING AND BREATHING.

>> ...ECHOES OF DIANA'S "I DOs."

>> REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF DIANA'S

WEDDING...

>> WHAT I LOVE ABOUT TEACHING

HISTORY IS TO SAY, "WELL, THIS

ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS

HAPPENED."

YOU CAN GO BACK AND SHOW HOW IT

ALL HAPPENED BEFORE.

>> IT'S A MADHOUSE AROUND HERE.

[ ALL CLAMORING ]

>> GEORGE, WELCOME TO THE PARTY!

>> WE SHOULD RUSH THIS,

BRITNEY-STYLE, MAN.

>> I'M GOING IN.

>> THIS IS A GANG-BANG.

IT'S A GANG-BANG.

>> KIM!

>> VERY NICE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

>> I AM A PHOTOJOURNALIST.

IT'S AN ART.

>> NO, THEY'RE NOT JOURNALISTS.

PAPARAZZI ARE PEOPLE WITH A

CAMERA.

ANYONE CAN GET A CAMERA.

YOU CAN GO TO THE DRUGSTORE AND

BUY A DISPOSABLE CAMERA.

NOW YOU'RE TAKING PICTURES.

YOU'RE ALL THE SUDDEN THIS

JOURNALIST?

NO WAY ARE THEY A JOURNALIST.

>> IF THEY'RE ALLOWED TO DO

IT -- IF THEY'RE ALLOWED TO

CHASE YOU, IF THEY'RE ALLOWED TO

INVADE YOUR PRIVACY, AND THEY

KNOW THEY'RE GONNA MAKE MONEY

OFF OF IT, THEY'RE NOT GONNA

STOP.

>> IF YOU'RE A PHOTOGRAPHER,

TAKE A DECENT PHOTOGRAPH.

GO AND LEARN YOUR TRADE.

MAKE SOME BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS,

LIKE IRVING PENN OR SOMEONE LIKE

THAT.

WHAT YOU DO IS JUST CRAP.

IT'S CRAP.

>> IT MUST BE FRUSTRATING.

IT MUST BE FRUSTRATING.

WHAT I THINK MIGHT BE EVEN MORE

FRUSTRATING IS TO NEVER SEE A

PHOTOGRAPHER AGAIN.

PAPARAZZI ARE DOING JOURNALISM.

THEY ARE GATHERING INFORMATION.

THEY'RE TELLING A STORY OF SOME

SORT AND DISSEMINATING IT TO AN

AUDIENCE.

>> THE FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTS

ARTISTS IN THEIR ABILITY TO BE

CREATIVE AND SOMETIMES RISQUé.

AND IT ALSO PROTECTS THE

PAPARAZZI.

BUT IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN

THAT IT PROTECTS AGAINST EACH

AND EVERY ACTION.

>> THERE DEFINITELY ARE LIMITS

TO FREE SPEECH.

YOU DON'T GET TO PUBLISH FALSE

THINGS ABOUT SOMEBODY.

YOU DON'T GET TO PUBLISH

OBSCENITY, CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

YOU DO NOT GET TO INVADE

SOMEONE'S PRIVACY BY SHOOTING

WITH A LONG TELEPHOTO LENS INTO

SOMEBODY'S BEDROOM.

THE SUPREME COURT HAS SAID YOU

DON'T GET TO DO THOSE THINGS.

>> YOU TELL ME THIS KIND OF

BEHAVIOR IS COVERED BY WHAT

JOURNALISM SHOULD BE COVERED BY?

THAT'S JUST BULL.

>> [ LAUGHS ]

>> BACK OFF.

[ ALL CLAMORING ]

>> WOW, DUDE.

>> NO WAY. ARE YOU KIDDING?

>> THESE PEOPLE ARE BEHAVING

TERRIBLY.

IT'S BEYOND RUDE AND CRUDE AND

UNACCEPTABLE.

BUT IT'S VERY HARD TO LEGISLATE

GOOD BEHAVIOR.

>> I'M NOT SOMEBODY FOR MORE

LAWS, MORE LAWS, AND MORE LAWS,

TO SAY WHO CAN SHOOT A PICTURE

AND WHO CAN'T AND WHERE THEY CAN

PUT IT AND WHAT THEY CAN DO.

I MEAN, THAT'S PART OF THE

BEAUTY OF OUR SOCIETY IS THE

FREEDOMS.

BUT THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING

THAT WE CAN STAND UP MORALLY, AS

A CULTURE, AND SAY, "HEY, THAT'S

NOT COOL TAKING A PICTURE OF

THAT KID OVER THERE.

CUT IT OUT."

>> HOW?

HE'S THE MANAGER OF THIS BIG,

BIG, BIG...

I LOVE TO WALK MY SON TO SCHOOL

BECAUSE IT'S THE TIME OF DAY

THAT HE'S VERY OPEN.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS INTERESTING

TO HIM.

AND TO HAVE LONG LENSES AIMED AT

YOU, PURPOSEFULLY GETTING IN

YOUR -- NEVER MIND YOUR PHYSICAL

PATH BUT YOUR EMOTIONAL PATH --

IT'S ACTUALLY A SCARY

FEELING...

[ CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICK ]

...LIKE HAVING SHARPSHOOTERS

AIMED AT YOU.

>> ALL RIGHTY, HERE IT IS.

>> THE MORE INTIMATE SHOTS ARE

THE ONES THAT PEOPLE CRITICIZE.

"WELL, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE THEM

ALONE?"

BUT THERE IS A DEMAND FOR IT.

WE JUST SHOOT AND SUBMIT THEM

INTO THE LIBRARY.

IT'S UP TO THE AGENCIES, THE

PUBLICATION, THE TV NETWORKS,

THE WEBSITES AND BLOGS.

>> I WANT TO BE LIKE MY DAD WHEN

I GROW UP SO I DON'T HAVE...

>> WHEREVER YOU READ IT OR SAW

IT, ASK THEM WHY DO THEY PUBLISH

IT?

>> CUTE KIDS ARE POPULAR, AND

CELEBRITIES HAVE A LOT OF CUTE

KIDS.

A LOT OF WOMEN LOVE TO LOOK AT

CUTE BABIES.

>> NOW THEY'RE HAVING COVERS OF

THESE MAGAZINES.

IT'S LIKE, "WHO'S THE CUTEST

HOLLYWOOD BABY?"

THEY HAVEN'T DECIDED TO BECOME A

FAMOUS PERSON.

SO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO THEM.

>> THERE ARE SO MANY OUTLETS NOW

TO SELL PICTURES OF CELEBRITY

KIDS, AND THERE'S SO MUCH MONEY

TO BE MADE IN IT.

YOU CAN'T EVEN ARGUE WITH

SOMEBODY ABOUT THE ETHICS OF IT.

I CAN'T EXPLAIN TO SOMEBODY,

"I'M A HIGH-PROFILE PERSON, BUT

MY SON ISN'T.

AND JUST BECAUSE HE'S WITH ME --

IT'S NOT LIKE A HANDBAG.

HE'S A PERSON."

AND IT'S WORRISOME.

IT'S REALLY WORRISOME.

>> STOP! STOP! STOP!

>> HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING,

BRITNEY?

>> STOP.

>> WHOEVER FLASHES THESE LIGHTS

AT MY KID AGAIN, I'LL PUSH YOUR

FACE THROUGH THE BACK OF YOUR

HEAD.

YOU GOT IT?

>> GET BACK, BACK, BACK, BACK.

>> THAT INCLUDES YOU.

>> I KNOW. I KNOW.

>> JACK!

>> STOP IT!

STOP TAKING PICTURES!

STOP IT!

I'M NOT KIDDING!

STOP TAKING PICTURES!

STOP IT!

>> THE THOUGHT IS DEVASTATING TO

ME.

IT'S FRIGHTENING, TERRIBLY

FRIGHTENING TO ME.

WOW, IT REALLY JUST MADE ME

REALLY UPSET TO THINK ABOUT

THAT, RIGHT?

I MEAN, TO HAVE SOMEONE

FOLLOWING YOUR CHILDREN IS...

IT'S ENTERING A PLACE THAT JUST

NO ONE SHOULD BE.

>> LEAVE CHILDREN OUT OF IT.

THEY DIDN'T ASK TO BE FAMOUS,

AND THEY HAVE THEIR RIGHTS, TOO.

THE KIDS OUGHT TO BE DOING THE

SUING.

AND THAT MIGHT BE A WAY LEGALLY

TO GET SOME TRACTION ON THIS.

>> THERE ARE VERY DIFFERENT LAWS

OF PRIVACY VIA THE ENGLISH

COURTS THAN THE AMERICAN COURTS.

J.K. ROWLING BROUGHT PROCEEDINGS

ON BEHALF OF HER VERY YOUNG SON,

AND IT WAS HELD THAT HER SON HAD

A REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF

PRIVACY, THAT HE WOULDN'T BE

FOLLOWED AROUND BY PHOTOGRAPHERS

ON THE STREET, IN THE SAME WAY

THAT ANY ORDINARY CHILD WOULDN'T

BE PHOTOGRAPHED BY THE

PAPARAZZI.

AND IT WAS A LANDMARK CASE,

BECAUSE IT ESTABLISHED THAT THE

CHILDREN OF FAMOUS PEOPLE SHOULD

BE TREATED IN THE SAME WAY AS

THE CHILDREN OF ORDINARY

PARENTS.

>> A 3-YEAR-OLD SUING ME IN

COURT, I THINK, IS WRONG.

I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY

RIDICULOUS.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THE

J.K. ROWLING CASE -- I DIDN'T

LOSE THE CASE.

SHE WAS JUST GIVEN THE RIGHT TO

GO TO A TRIAL.

BUT IT WAS -- YOU TAKE ON THE

WORLD'S RICHEST WOMAN, AND IT

WAS DAVID AND GOLIATH.

>> IN FRANCE, THEY CAN'T TAKE A

PICTURE OF MY CHILD.

IT'S ILLEGAL.

IT'S NIGHT AND DAY, IF YOU

COMPARE PARIS TO LOS ANGELES OR

NEW YORK.

>> HERE, IN THE UNITED STATES,

PROBABLY ANY JUDGE UNDER THE LAW

IS GOING TO SAY, "HEY, NO, YOU

DON'T GET TO FOLLOW THEM

WHEREVER."

YOU KNOW, THE VERY FIRST CASE

OUT THERE -- JACQUELINE KENNEDY

HAD A LAWSUIT AGAINST

RON GALELLA BECAUSE SHE WAS

CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF

CAROLINE AND YOUNG JOHN.

AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT

DECLARED IN NEW YORK THAT HE HAD

TO STAY A CERTAIN DISTANCE AWAY

FROM THOSE CHILDREN.

SINCE THEN, THERE'S PRETTY MUCH

BEEN A TRUCE AROUND PRESIDENTIAL

CHILDREN.

BUT I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT

DIFFERENT FROM WHAT CHILDREN OF

CELEBRITIES EXPERIENCE.

>> I REMEMBER IT WAS NIGHT, AND

IT WAS REALLY COLD.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

SO, IMAGINE THE FLASHES ON A

BABY THAT'S, LIKE, TWO MONTHS,

THREE MONTHS OLD.

SO, I TOLD, "TAKE HER."

AND WHEN THEY WERE TAKING MY

PICTURE, THEY WERE ALL OVER, AND

THEY DIDN'T CARE.

THEY PUSHED THE BABY.

IT NEARLY WENT TO THE FLOOR.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, I CHARGE

AFTER THE PHOTOGRAPHER.

I MADE SURE THE BABY WAS OKAY.

AND I WAS JUST SO ANGRY.

MY CHILD COULD HAVE HAD A REALLY

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

WHEN YOU'RE TWO, THREE, ON THE

STREET -- HE COULD HAVE STEPPED

ON HER!

THAT JUST OUGHT TO BE ILLEGAL.

IT'S A LITTLE CRIMINAL.

THERE SHOULD BE CERTAIN RULES, I

THINK.

>> I JUST FEEL LIKE IT'S AN

INVASION OF PRIVACY AND THAT

THESE KIDS REALLY DON'T NEED

THAT KIND OF ATTENTION AT THIS

POINT IN THEIR LIVES.

>> EVEN IF THEIR MOM OR THEIR

DAD IS THE FAMOUS ONE, IT

DOESN'T GIVE THE PAPARAZZI NO

RIGHT.

THE CHILDREN AREN'T NOTHING TO

DO WITH IT.

>> YEAH, BUT THAT'S WHAT

EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE.

EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE THEIR

KIDS.

DON'T THEY?

THAT'S WHY THEY DO IT.

>> I SUPPOSE.

>> IT'S TRUE.

>> YEAH.

>> IT'S KIND OF SAD, BUT IT

MAKES ME MORE INTERESTED IN WHAT

THE KIDS ARE DOING BECAUSE,

LIKE, THAT'S THE NEW GENERATION

OF CELEBRITIES COMING UP.

>> THE PUBLIC HAS TO TAKE SOME

DEGREE OF SOME RESPONSIBILITY

AND DEMAND THAT THESE SORT OF

PHOTOGRAPHS NOT BE PUBLISHED,

THAT THEY PUT PRESSURE --

ECONOMIC, POLITICAL, SOCIAL

PRESSURE -- ON MEDIA ENTITIES TO

SAY, "WE DON'T WANT THIS.

WE WON'T HAVE IT."

>> COULD YOU JUST LET THEM BE

NORMAL PEOPLE?

>> YOU SHOULD BE NORMAL.

YOU SHOULD BE GOING HOME AND

ENJOY YOURSELF.

>> DISGUSTING WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

>> WE ARE WORKING.

>> DISGUSTING!

>> WOW.

I TOOK A TOTAL OF 289 PICTURES

TODAY.

>> HERE, AT US WEEKLY, WE GET

ABOUT 750,000 TO A MILLION

IMAGES A MONTH.

>> IMAGES ARE COMING AT US FROM

ALL DIFFERENT ANGLES.

AND ANYBODY WHOSE EYES ARE

WORKING WILL SEE ABOUT A

THOUSAND IMAGES A DAY.

>> WE SHOULD BE ASKING

OURSELVES, "WHAT'S HAPPENING IN

THIS PHOTO?"

WHERE IT WAS TAKEN, WHEN IT WAS

TAKEN -- CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING.

>> WE ARE DRENCHED AND PILED

OVER WITH MEDIA COVERAGE.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT'S GOOD FOR

US OR BAD FOR US.

IT IS WHAT IT IS.

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE THE

BEST OF IT.

>> WE WATCH TABLOID-MAGAZINE

TELEVISION SHOWS, AND WE BUY THE

MAGAZINES, AND WE'RE INVESTED IN

REALITY TV.

BUT WE DON'T HAVE AN

INTERCONNECTEDNESS THAT IS

ONE MAKES YOU FLY *

* SO I'LL TAKE BOTH SIDES,

>> WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH IT.

WE DON'T HAVE TO READ IT.

I'VE BEEN GUILTY OF IT MYSELF.

I TRY TO BE A LITTLE MORE

CONSCIOUS OF IT.

LIKE, IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE FUN

AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE

CELEBRITY WORLD, YOU SHOULD AT

LEAST BE A LITTLE MORE CONSCIOUS

ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE

REAL WORLD.

SOMEBODY IN THE ARMY OR

MARINES -- THAT'S A CELEBRITY.

DOCTORS THAT SAVE LIVES,

TEACHERS, COPS, FIREFIGHTERS.

YOU KNOW?

THAT'S A CELEBRITY, YOU WANT TO

REALLY GET DOWN TO IT.

AFTER SHE ALLEGEDLY RAN OVER HIS

FOOT.

>> YOU CAN STAND BEHIND ME BUT

NOT HIT ME.

>> LIKE, JESUS CHRIST COULD COME

BACK AFTER 2,000 YEARS, FORGIVE

US OF ALL OUR SINS.

SOMEBODY GET A PICTURE, PUT IT

ON TMZ.

THE FIRST COMMENT WOULD BE,

"JESUS IS A FUCKING DOUCHEBAG."

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

>> * DESI-I-I-RE

>> I'M JUST GLAD THEY AIN'T

FUCKING WITH ME.

THAT'S ALL.

>> CAN I RUN ONE OVER NOW?

IS THAT AGAINST THE LAW?

DO I GET -- IS THERE POINTS FOR

THAT?

LIKE, IF I TOOK THREE OR FOUR

OF THEM OUT, ESPECIALLY THE BIG

GUY -- GOT TO GET AT LEAST

5 POINTS FOR HIM, RIGHT?

>> * SHE'S THE DOLLARS

>> MY WIFE GOT "PAPPED" AT JFK

LAST NIGHT.

WELL, THEY SEE A BLONDE WITH

LOUIS VUITTON BAGS.

THEY WERE RIGHT IN HER FACE.

SHE GOES, "HE WAS RIGHT IN MY

FACE."

JUST BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP.

AND THEN JUST WALKED AWAY, LIKE

NOTHING HAPPENED.

[ LAUGHS ]

>> * ...STEALING HEARTS

AT A TRAVELING SHOW *

* FOR LOVE OF MONEY, MONEY,

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY *

* MONEY, MONEY, MONEY,

MONEY, MONEY *

* AND THE FEVER GETTING HIGHER,

DESI-I-I-RE *

* DESI-I-I-RE

* DESI-I-I-RE

* DESI-I-I-RE

ALL RIGHT.

* DESI-I-I-RE

* DESI-I-I-RE

ALL RIGHT.
