Wouldn't you like to be Gwyneth Paltrow?
Here is a copy of an article in today's AP & Knight Ridder Newspapers. She sounds like she's complaining. I would love to be so famous, that the paps need to take pictures of me all the time, even when I'm looking no so hot. Wouldn't you want to be super famous like her (or even be her)? Now I'm sure she's totally exaggerating the downsides of fame. Whatever the price, I'd sell my soul to be famous. How about you?

Right back at ya, baby
Speaking of Gwyneth Paltrow, the Oscar-winning thespian is planning to capture footage of the paparazzi who follow her everywhere, so she can show the public what her life is like, according to IMDB.
The actress is sick of being a target for the world's hotshot photographers, so she's bought herself a video camera, which will enable the star to film them snapping her.
"It's so I can record what these guys do," she explains. "You have these guys who'll take the 30th picture of you walking down the street in sweat pants with a yoga mat, and because you are wearing a different pair of sweat pants they can keep selling that picture and make a few thousand dollars. I didn't sign up to be stopped and made to feel like a prisoner in my own home."

NOT A CHANCE IN HE.... well you get the point
You couldn't pay me enough to live in that hell hole of a life
ZERO privacy you gotta worry about leaving your windows open in the bathroom so you can brush your teeth.. paparazzi are sick people with no lives that care nothing for the people they're taking pictures of.
Granted I'm a private person, and I really don't like to be in the spotlight.

So who is Gwyneth Paltrow?
In any event, she won't get any hassle from me, since I wouldn't know her from any other stranger on the street.
Reminds me of the time my wife was working as a temp for Ensoniq (many years ago). She was working as a receptionist when some guy called who said he was representing Prince and they wanted to buy this certain prototype keyboard. My wife said, listen, buddy, I don't care what country your prince is from, he's not getting one of these things!
