Just the Facts

Here's ten facts about my topic, the paparazzi:

1. The paparazzi get paid up to $100,000 for a photo based on the event or celebrity.
2. There are laws in California that restrict the paparazzi from completely invading privacy.
3. Stars constantly avoid specific "hot spots" in order to get away from the paparazzi.
4. Paparazzi use high-tech devices to get pictures. These include longer photo lenses or video cameras.
5. Paparazzi cause a heightened level of danger to the general public. Once, a paparazzo hit Lindsay Lohan's Mercedes to get a picture of her putting anyone on the street in danger.
6. There has been a syndrome diagnosed that is almost like a disease. This disease is "being celebrity obsessed." Many paparazzi have this "syndrome."
7. A paparazzo took a picture of Princess Diana while she was lying dead in her Mercedes after the crash. He intended to sell the picture.
8. Many different government officials are trying to pass laws forbidding the paparazzi in many areas of the nation.
9. Celebs are trying to conceal their family from the paparazzi. Photographers try to get photos of babies too much and may hurt the children in the process.
10. Paparazzi go way too far in their tactics and they deny a celebrity of their civil right.
