"Why are you asking to taking my picture right now, and you can see that I'm crying.. Are you that ignorant?" - Britney Spears
 

Paparazzi Images have been around for years, and whilst on some occasions the celebrity seems okay with having a camera shoved in their face, in many situations they are clearly uncomfortable. And yet, Celebrity fansites continue to show images of their chosen celeb clearly distressed or trying to avoid the paps. The question is, just because you are famous does that mean you have no rights to privacy? My personal opinion is that we should respect the celebrities and if we are truly fans then we would realise that many of these celebs find it intrusive and have to go to great lengths to avoid the paparazzi.

Fansites the world over are full of pap pics, and that is great for those that appreciate them, but I have noticed a growing trend for sites who are staying clear of these often tacky and intrusive pictures. Ask yourself, as a fan, do you really need to see Britney Spears crying in a restaurant clearly in distress at what was possibly the hardest time in her life? Please guys think more about where these images come from and the way in which your favourite celebrity may be being hounded by the paps to get that elusive shot.

If like me, you think it's time the celebs got a chance to get back some of their privacy then you can display  the button below on your site. Please do note that we are not talking about events pictures, photoshoots, movie filming etc.. We are talking solely about when your Celeb is going for dinner with friends/family, enjoying a relaxing holiday, going to the shops or worst still, when they are clearly in a huge amount of distress. That's what we like to call stalkerazzi - how would you like it ??
