Julia Roberts snaps at paparazzi

roberts.jpgDon’t mess with this pretty woman! Hollywood actress Julia Roberts has joined the growing number of stars who are fed up with being tailed by the paparazzi incessantly. The mother-of-three reportedly lost her cool after seeing photographers filming her near a Los Angeles school and raced after them in her Mercedes four-wheel drive, blasting her horn and gesturing to them to pull over. Videotape of the incident was broadcast by U.S. television show Inside Edition.

She scolded them for filming near a school and ordered them to turn off a camera filming her. “Listen, you can turn your video camera off. You’re at a school where children go. Turn it off,” she said, according to Web site TMZ.com.

The list of stars losing their cool with the paparazzi is growing:

- Last week George Clooney struck out at the “bounty hunters” — accusing them of putting the saftey of bystanders at risk as they chased celebrities

-  British actor Hugh Grant was arrested earlier this year after he was accused of attacking a photographer outside his home with a tub of baked beans, but he did not face changes

- former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan is being investigated on possible assault charges against a photographer

- British actor Jude Law was cleared in October of assaulting a photographer outside his London home

Bet none of them were too sad when they saw Britney Spears in October driving over a photographer’s foot as she tried to negotiate her way out of a car park, leaving him crumbled up on the floor as she drove off.

I totally agree with her actions. Children shouldn’t be photographed weather its directly or indirectly. There are so many pervs today you don’t know what kind of freak would get a hold of those pics and do whatever. I think it should be a code among these photographers to block the kids pics form the photos or not show them at all…out of respect.
