"@Wendy_Kroy: Did you know that a very high percentage of paps operating in LA are illegal immigrants and convicted felons in their respective countries of origin? The Atlantic once ran the mother of all paparazzi exposés--the writer spent a week embedded with a pack of LA paps at the height of Britney-gone-cuckoo frenzy: [www.theatlantic.com] Extremely illuminating piece. Some savvy (or well-advised) celebs retaliate for the hideous harassment by reporting paps by name to the INS so they get deported."

Anyone else I'm missing?"

"@Peter Feld: If she did break up the band, we could all be grateful rather than calling her a villain, because they would likely have gone on to do some embarrassing things in the 80s. This is the only place you might - might - have a point, and not because they'd do embarrassing things during the 80s, but that they'd be touring and performing in the same way Paul and Ringo and The Rolling Stones have been, which isn't to say they can't put on a good show, but it is to say that, fuck, there's something disheartening about it."
