Cher Is A Prisoner To Mean Paparazzi 
 Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

 

I remember seeing a photo a few years ago of Cher swinging some object at a paparazzo while she was on a jog outside her home - and I remember thinking, "Wow, that Cher is crazy."  I hadn't woken up yet to how cruel the media has become.  After I started this news blog, I learned how vicious they and their photographers can truly be.  I guess I was the crazy one.

"The paparazzi have moved into my town," Cher told USA Today.  "I used to be able to run around in my sweats.  Now I'm a prisoner.  I think 'scum' is the perfect word for these people.  They're meaner now.  Before, they would be happy to get a picture.  Now they want something salacious, or to make you feel bad."

"Everything's more mean-spirited now.  My Sister was telling me about a show that hooks people up to lie detectors.  I don't like reality shows.  I saw American Idol one time and said, 'Well, I never need to see this again.'  I thought it was boring.  I wasn't entertained."
