Julia Roberts Scolds The Paparazzi

Julia Roberts and her two babies have been spending a lot of time in New York City. The Paparazzi have been trying to get a first photo on the street of Julia and her babies. Julia told one Paparazzo "It will never happen!" She, is just one of the many top celebrities that hate the Paparazzi photographers.

That does not deter the photographers. One day two photographers thought that they were being "slick" by staying back when she was walking around the neighborhood where she lives. The two were staying in their SUV with dark windows and shooting from the vehicle.

A lot of Paparazzi use this technique. Most have SUV's with very dark tinted windows so that no one can see into the vehicle. In Los Angeles it is the norm among the photographers. But, the problem is that many celebrities are smartening up and becoming aware of who and what is around them when they are "out and about" on the streets. They know that if a dark tinted vehicle is nearby the celebrity assumes it is filled with a couple of Paparazzi.

Julia is one of the best at spotting the Paparazzi because when she is in LA, they are stalking her on a 24/7 basis. And, in LA, these guys are very aggressive and not subtle.

So, Julia spotted these guys from the "get go". And, she put up with it for a little while. But then all of a sudden she decided she had had enough and ran straight for the parked vehicle and knocked on the closed window and started yelling, "I know you are in there! Open up. I want to talk to you!" in the middle of the street.

Finally, the photographer opened up and tried to tell her a story. He wasn't a photographer, just driving by and spotted her. But, she wasn't buying it. She told him in a loud angry voice that she knew there was someone in the back of the vehicle photographing her and she wanted them to stop and leave her alone.

The two Paparazzi photographer's sheepishly agreed to leave her alone for the day since she "Busted" them. With their promise to leave her alone, Julia quieted down a little and told them that if she sees them again around her house there will be "Hell to pay".

As a final threat, she jotted down the vehicle license plate and walked away from the two very stunned and embarrassed Paparazzi.
