Overview

The life of a person in Hollywood used to be all about glamour and glitz. It now comes with a lot more then that. Stars are not only in the spotlight on the red carpet, but rather ALL of the time. The paparazzi constantly follow these celebrities so they can get a shot of every thing they do. In the eyes of a photographer, it is necessary to track these stars' every move. But this tracking has turned into a much bigger issue, to the point of harassment. These famous people have trouble having a private life because they are constantly being stalked by these people with cameras. At times, the paparazzi may even do extravagant things just so that they can get a good picture to sell. A single photo can bring them up to $100,000.

All a paparazzi person is worried about is following these people so that they can make some money. But what they don't think about is how the lives of the celebrities are effected. They are afterall, just trying to be like normal people, and don't always want to be in the spotlight. The picture taking is now interfering with these peoples' lives. Are the paparazzi simply doing their jobs? Or has it gotten to a point of crossing the line?
