Brangelina Family Circus

BS
Ever since they began dating Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have had paparazzi surrounding them where ever they go. They are considered to be two of the most beautiful people in the world and people all over the world constantly want to know more and more about their lives.

Since Angeline gave birth to twins, it seems like everyone is trying to get a piece of them. Magazines are fighting to get the first pictures and are willing to pay a ridiculous amount of money to get them. They have also been surrounded by paparazzi at their home ever since leaving the hospital.

While I understand that Brad and Angelina's twins are a big deal and people are dying to see what they look like, I feel sorry for their family who has to deal with this every single day. The poor people, they can't even enjoy this new addition to their family in peace because everyone is trying to see them, everyone is trying to make money off of them.

Celebrities are people just like the everyone else, they just have to constantly endure being watched and having their privacy violated. Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie are obviously both huge movie stars and of course people are interested in knowing what they are doing and what their life is like, and as long as people keep being interested, paparazzi photographers will be taking their pictures and making ridiculous amounts of money by selling them to magazines.

Over the past few years, it seems like the fight to get celebrities' pictures is getting worse and worse. People are going to extreme measures to get these pictures because they know that if they can get that one shot that no one else can, it will pay out enormously. Some stars try to fight back, while others enjoy being seen and having their pictures constantly in news stands.

Is it fair though? To some extent, yes, but sneaking on to someone's property and snapping pictures of them in the privacy of their home is unacceptable. If celebrities are out of their homes, at restaurants, or whatever they are doing that particular night, then people have the right to get pictures of them. They may not enjoy having their pictures taken over a hundred times, but they know that when they go out, there will be people following them. Some, though, prefer to stay at home and stay out of the public eye and that is a decision that they get to make and should be accepted by photographers.

Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie's whole family is constantly being stalked and photographed no matter where in the world they are. There are always people trying to get pictures of them and now that they have welcome two brand new babies into the world, people are after them more than ever. I even read about a photographer who trespassed into their home in France in attempt to snap the first picture of the new babies.

Their decision not to let other people see the twins yet, is theirs to make and should be respected by photographers. Yes, there are millions of people dying to see the first pictures of the twins, but I'm sure no one wants to see them so badly that they want paparazzi to sneak onto their property and violate their right to privacy.

    Great read! If they had not been discovered they would beg for the publicity, then they arrive and they want privacy. It amazes me. As soon as they fall a little in popularity, they will all of a sudden be "seen" in public more. I agree that they should be able to have a private life, but others before have set the precedence of using the papparazzi when their career needs a boost. See Sharon Stone!

    Really great article!!!! -James

    I feel sorry for them too. You would think that the press would learn a lesson after what happened to Princess Di. Thanks for a great article.

    I agree. They need to stop.

    As long as people keep paying to see the photos, someone will keep trying to take them.

    I think everyone should leave these two alone. I think that it is way out of hand with the stars and stuff and following them around.
