Recently, Lady Gaga mentioned in an interview that if you don't want the paparazzi following you, it is very easy to do, with the proper security people and a little ingenuity. SHe actually said that those stars that get chased by the paps are allowing it. With Kristen, this picture on the web showing her with a cigarette dangling from her mouth and TWO middle fingers in the air, is just an awful image that her YOUNG PRE-TEEN FANS will easily see on the web. The worst of it is that it was taken when she was on a hotel balcony. If she didn't like their presence, she could have turned around and gone inside. I have also read that she uses foul language. Bottom line, if the paps take your picture, your young impressionable fans will see it and you should behave responsibly.

To compare her invasion of privacy to rape is insulting and indefensible to all rape victims. I am also taken aback by pictures (yes, I look at them, damn it) of her toking, flipping off photgraphers, smoking, and drinking. Whether she likes it or not, she is being scrutinized by young men and women who see someone they want to emulate involved in harmful activities. At 20 years old.

Honestly...she's a bit right. She probably could use a better word for it, being that rape is such an understandably sensative issue, maybe say she feels violated, but really...we have no idea what it's like to be hounded by those photographers. I'm sorry, but the whole "you want to be famous, deal with it" excuse is overrated and getting old. How would you feel if someone watched your every move and made money off photos of you?? We enjoy their movies and love looking at their pictures, but the second they say they want privacy or complain that they are being hounded we go on attack. Seems a bit extreme.

Oh & as for you calling her rude, she's not. She has every right to say what she says. You don't like it get over it, & piss off.

I think she is right, the paparazzi have gone to far, let all celebs have their fucking privacy. If they don;t want their picture taken, then walk away, don't hassel them. How would you like it if I followed you 24/7, taking pics, & asking you a million questions. you wouldnt like it so stop.
