Can We All Get Along?
We need paparazzi peace! Yesterday, a videographer was getting some footage of actor Ed Harris eating lunch alone at the Newsroom Cafe in Beverly Hills. As he was finishing up the meal, he got a little overzealous about stopping the filming and lashed out at the videographer. Ed grabbed her camera and just yelled at her for minutes with a fiery tone. We are upset by these recent acts of verbal and sometimes physical assaults of the paparazzi recently. If you don’t like to see us, that’s fine. Yell, give us the finger, taunt us, whatever: it’s your choice. But there is no need to promote violent interactions between the press and the celebs by damaging equipment and hitting them. We need to find ways to restore a healthy relationship to keep us both happy and thriving, because we need each other to succeed.

… “actor Ed Harris eating lunch alone at the Newsroom Cafe in Beverly Hills …”
… eating alone, leave him alone … or take some pictures, if you really need to do, in the way he will not see you ! There is no need to make him angry, because you will not make any bucks anyway …
Do not complain about violence … you deserve it guys !
Dear BuzzFoto, your team is not real paparazzi team, it is a bunch of very untalented photographers, get real … I feel sorry for you pals …
As someone who lives in the area and runs on a regular basis up and down Robertson I applaud those who strike back against folks like you.
You have every right like everyone else to be on the sidewalk. But you shouldn’t be allowed to camp out loitering outside these establishments. I’ve seen you guys with cameras in hand stand and photograph someone during the entire meal.
I’ve also ran a few years ago at the LaCienega Park in Beverly Hills when Tom Cruise’s kids are playing little league and you folks block the path for runners and walkers.
LA and the local area needs to place restrictions on folks like you. Not only in respect of the people you stalk but in respect for the rest of us trying to life our lives around you.
People in LA need to get over themselves. Actors are the most self-absorbed people ever. Paparazzi are scum, but blame the media for blowing up the industry and making everyone and their mom wanting to be paparazzi.
