Good on him. Who the **** does that pap think he is? Paparazzi are quick to shove cameras in celebrities faces in the most aggressive and rude manners in what is a disgusting invasion of privacy but they'll happily cry and whinge if said celebrity dares to call them out on it or do the same back to them. It's pathetic.

Having said that, I do agree he's started heading down a dangerous path over the last few weeks.

But when you court and crave attention (wanting to have a huge fan base using social media) you can't say when you want to be a celebrity and when you don't. All this is avoidable....Look at the Britney thing, she was sold to paps for a good few years until someone stepped in and changed it...you don't see her meltdowns anymore because they're micromanaged, until he's stopped being sold to them expect this to get worse or better depending how you want it to end.

But it's this whole culture of shoving cameras in people's faces in such a forceful manner that needs to change, it's just unacceptable. Following people around their daily lives and taking pictures of them doing every tiny little thing, it's just ridiculous. Like that thread that was posted on here the other week of Christina Aguilera eating a burger in her car...I mean it's pathetic. There needs to be a shift in attitudes to stop people being allowed to do this sort of thing and to stop people being so engrossed in it all...like these celebrity magazines with nipple slip pictures and all that, it's just...mind boggling how anybody could care.

Even if it's a set up, it's still no excuse for people to be pushing and shoving and putting cameras right in people's faces. They need some respect. If I went and took a picture of someone on the street when they protested and asked me not to, I don't think people would find that acceptable and I'm pretty sure they could get the police involved? I don't see how this is any different really, they might be celebrities but they're still human. If you don't want a picture taken of you, you should be able to say no and for these scumbags to respect that and politely piss off.

Jack it was a Clear Set Up.
Loads of Front Pages tomorrow
Those 2 Press men did a great Job
thats the Trade.



1. Lil Justin did not have to shove a Press bloke back
2. He did not need to jump out of his car to punch one.


Ch5News had the better angle
Lil Justin was a Easy Set up.

If he wanted to avoid the press then he could have left the Hotel through a different exit. If you court the paps you have to be prepared to deal with them when it's not good timing. You can't pick and choose.

The pap in question was handled roughly by his bodyguards, I wouldn't blame him for reacting badly to that kind of behavior.

The point I'm trying to make is though he shouldn't have to use a different exit, he shouldn't have to avoid certain areas and he shouldn't have to live his life any differently or worry about what he's doing and whether it'll be photographed because this whole culture of paps going around and shoving cameras in people's faces is what needs to be changed. My point is less about this individual case but more about paps in general, the way they treat a lot of celebrities is just disgusting and this gross invasion of privacy isn't acceptable. Celebrities are still human beings and shouldn't be treated any differently in this respect to a normal person on the street.

That's the price you pay when you use the paps to further your own career, most of the time the Paps are called to a location by a celeb's management so that they can stay on the news so they can hardly complain when the Paparazzi arrives.

A celebrity can choose to control the paparazzi by simply not indulging them, there's plenty of huge celebs who don't get bothered by the press because they choose not to live their lives on the front of a tabloid.
