The Celebrities Are at War With the Paparazzi

It is war in LA between the celebrities and the Paparazzi. In the last two weeks the celebrities are telling the photographers that they are fed up and are not going to take it anymore. And, the anger towards the Paparazzi has never been so intense.

Ashton Kutcher had a run in with a paparazzo who just wanted to take his photo. It seems that Ashton was in no mood and wasn't going to have it. When the snapper started taking photos without asking, Ashton saw red and decided to take the matter into his own hands. He physically went after the photographer who was still in his vehicle grabbed the photographer’s shirt and ripped it right off the photographers back. It was all caught on video tape and is being peddled to tabloid TV.

Cameron Diaz was with some friends this week when a paparazzo started taking photos of her. The "Charlie Angels" star got pissed and started kicking him with her foot. She ended up kicking him 3 times before leaving. The photographers all know Cameron is not nice when it comes to the Paparazzi. She has had run-ins with a number of photographers and is getting meaner and meaner with the photographers.

Lindsay Lohan seems to be fed up with the ever present Paparazzi. A few days ago she was out with friends and a few photographers started taking her picture. She also had enough with these guys and picked up a glass bottle and hurled it at a photographer, hitting him in the chest. Lucky for her, the photographer was not hurt.

And, Hugh Grant who is known to be downright nasty to the Paparazzi was on Robertson at the Ivy restaurant when the photographer’s spotted him and tried to take his photo. The Ivy is famous in LA. It is the place for the Hollywood movers and shakers to be seen. It is known that a good number of photographers hang out there in the afternoons. Celebrities who want to be photographed always go to Robertson near the Ivy. So, Hugh should have known better.

He went after one unlucky photographer who was snapping away but stopped before any blows were thrown. And, while leaving in his vehicle swerved and hit a photographer with his vehicle. The shaken photographer is deciding whether he going to sue Hugh. It was also caught on videotape and was shown on some of the tabloid TV shows.

The celebrities are frustrated with such an intense microscopic look into their lives. And, they seem to collectively decided they have had enough.
