Paparazzi: pals or problems?

Looking back at the $ellebrity video we watched I think that the paparazzi debate is a serious issue that gets over looked a lot by most people. The thought of random people hopping your fence to take a simple photo on their phone strikes a bit of doubt and fear into my mind when I think about how I feel when paparazzi harass celebrities over anything possible. it surprised me a lot, when JLo mentioned that she asked everyone to respect her privacy because she wanted to have her own private wedding, and then people still tried to sneak into her house and get pictures so they could try and sell them. I understand why someone would do it, but the fact that she asked for her privacy for a moment she felt was very intimate is sad, because someone just wanted to make some easy cash at the cost of her happiness. I think that people overlook the fact that celebrities are people too, and that they should be treated the same as anyone else should. Even though they are celebrities, I believe that if they ask for the privacy and respect that they try to give everyone that it should be granted the way anyone else would want. I also think that if someone has events in a public manner, such as the incidents to Jessica Simpson, or Lindsey Lohan consisting of mental or emotional breakdowns, I believe it could be documented although it is not morally or ethically right to.
