Britney Spears has issued an apology to the paparazzi whose car she whacked repeatedly with an umbrella earlier this year around the same time she decided to go for the “light and breezy” look for her scalp…

She claims that it was in preparation for a movie role that she never got, but that excuse doesn’t exactly pass the smell test… Hey Britney, part of the step program is admitting the truth, and we’re not buying that this was it…

Denise Richards took matters into her own hands when two paparazzi showed up on the set of her new movie, ‘Blonde and Blonder.’ She took their laptops and tossed them off the hotel balcony. Unfortunately, she forgot to yell ‘Look out below!’ before she did so, and ended up hitting two elderly women.

Neither woman was seriously injured, nor do they want to press charges. However, police haven’t ruled out any charges as of yet. Given that the women don’t want to pursue the matter, and Denise Richards doesn’t have a previous “troublemaker” reputation, I’d be surprised if any are filed.

But back to the issue at hand, once again we have a situation where paparazzi are instigating trouble by being somewhere they don’t belong. Granted, Richards responded badly to their presence, no doubt about it. The resort told police that they had no permission to be on the property, so where are the trespassing charges against them?

I’m feeling like a broken record today after just blogging on this topic yesterday, but something needs to be done or people are going to get seriously hurt…

…and not in a good way…Lindsay Lohan was rear-ended by a paparazzo after leaving a nightclub. She drove a little way and called a friend to come pick her up. She’s OK, but I’m steaming mad.

Lindsay Lohan has definitely done enough to put herself in the media spotlight, but the paparazzi are clearly out of control. This is at least the second, and possibly third, time that their antics have caused her to have an automobile accident.

I’m almost totally against government involvement in most aspects of anyone’s lives. But since these morons are endangering people and can’t get their acts straight, I’m beginning to think that requiring that they be licensed or something. I don’t know what the solution is, but there is quite obviously a problem here that is going to get somebody killed sooner rather than later.

Ever wonder why some celebrities keep appearing on the front pages of tabloids and we know pretty much every intimate detail of their lives while we rarely see and know very little about the personal lives of others?

Emmy Rossum has the answer:

“If you want to avoid the paparazzi you can… If you go to the Coffee Bean + Tea Leaf (coffee shop chain) on Sunset and Fairfax (Los Angeles), you’re going to get your picture taken…If you eat at The Little Door (media-unfriendly Los Angeles restaurant) or a trillion other great restaurants, you won’t have a problem…I don’t live a life that encourages attention. What am I worth to the tabloids if I’m not sleeping around or falling down drunk?”

See Lindsay, it’s not that difficult…
