The parasites that cloud around celebrities are expressing an element of remorse:
Now, though, even some of the photographers who make their living chronicling every step of her meltdown are beginning to examine their consciences, and their professional ethics. One British photographer based in Los Angeles, Nick Stern, became perhaps the first to make a public stand when he quit his job with the Splash news agency a few days ago because he could not bring himself to cover Britney another day longer."The Britney story is no longer about Britney," he said. "It's the media circus surrounding her... It's not journalism. Sooner or later, someone's going to get killed. Possibly Britney herself."
*shrug* I'm hoping it's a "journalist" that gets run over and killed by a celebrity that has a good enough lawyer to claim they never saw them.
But if ordinary citizens feel that their life is at risk from these predatory tactics, well, my suggestion is: defend yourself with a legal amount of aggression as necessary to protect your life.
What does Reporters Without Borders think of these parasites?

Hi there :)
I'm a noob just stopping by, the title of your blog caught my eye. LOVE it. I wanted to comment on this post because over here the tabloids are 100% crazier than they are stateside....I don't know why, maybe because over here it's less litigious? Anyway I walked into the store the other day and a HUGE headline on one of the papers leapt out at me, "BRITNEY DEAD!!!" and then in tiny letters underneath "in 6 months, says psychic..."
I am still, after 5 years living abroad, shocked by the lengths these "journalists" go to sell papers. I have decided the only way I can combat it is to not buy the rags. Which has been strangely liberating, as most of the "papers" here are 50% tabloid and 50% actual news :)
Anyhoo, that's my two cents. Or two pence. Whichever you prefer.
Byesies!
