Maybe he saw her disc... Never mind. I would be banned for the joke based on her song Love Game.

It might be worth it.

Typical yellow-press cheap shot, proving that the very best lie is always a carefully edited truth. The headline: "Photog Dies After Taking Lady Gaga Pics," besides being bad grammar on both sides of the pond, implies strongly a cause and effect that didn't exist. His taking pictures of Lady Gaga [whoever the hell she might be] had absolutely nothing to do with his death.

Since people die every minute of every day, and a majority of the country (U.S.) watched Obama win the election, I'm certain that somebody watching died moments after he won. Should the press have proclaimed: "Man Dies after Watching Obama Win Election"? Of course they shouldn't. And reputable ones don't. There are other kinds, however....

Paps are certainly more aggresive. There are some videos on YouTube showing paps harassing celebs and it's pretty horrifying. The one of Toby MacGuire trying to drive despite paps is amazing. And yes, photojournalists assigned to the red carpet is totally different from paps. If anybody wanted a graphic difference between them, study the photographers covering Prince Williams third birthday. They are polite, professional and patient. Then study the paps chasing Diana through the airport. The difference is marked. I admire photojournalists immensely, I think paps are beneath contempt. So, I totally agree with you and wish there was a way for the public to understand the difference.

Here in LA, some pap agencies hire gang members, give them a camera teach them how to use it in auto mode and send them out hunting. Not only do the paps harass celebs, they harass red carpet photographers. Sorry to hijack this thread.
