The stars came out in full force on Saturday night at celebrity hot spot in West Hollywood including Janet Jackson, actor Kevin Connolly and Canadian Pop Star Vaneli, were in attendance for the photographer friendly greetings at Villa Lounge.
Okay, we see it all the time, celebrities blocking their faces, fighting with camera men, angry about misquotes and lack of privacy. Are they justified in their fury? I guess being irked is relative. I mean who are we to say what should and shouldn't irritate others. But for arguments sake, don't the "stars" know beforehand what they are getting into? Haven't we seen and read the interviews where they say "this is my dream…I wanted to be famous". Well as the popular saying goes, fame costs. Part of that price is the Paparazzi, those wonderful camera wielding nuisances. Hey, everyone has to make a living; it's not the media's fault they happen to be on the other side of a camera celebs longed to be in front of.
Some of the more seasoned vets, J. Lo, Miley Cyrus, take paparazzi flashes with grace. Others, well…. So does hating the paparazzi come with time? If celebrities could change one aspect of their stardom would they choose to remove all of the annoying picture takers?
Many of the new comers to the industry seem to revel in the attention. Upcoming pop superstar Vaneli chimed in on the topic. The sexy siren who hails from Brazil was recently caught by photographers from X17 Video at celebrity hot spot, Villa Lounge in West Hollywood last weekend.
The soft spoken 21 year old, who currently has a hot new single titled "Ur Money", was later asked how she felt about her debut facing the media firing squad. "I'm honored; if they were not paying any attention to me I'm doing something wrong. I've struggled to get here and if the media want to document my arrival and journey, thank you".
Wow, will she still be this gracious after 5 years of flashing lights? We'll just have to wait for her debut album "Hard To Believe". Right now you can hear the hot single "Ur Money" at myspace.com/vanelid. Also vote at www.youtube.com/vaneli2
So let's sound off. Fans, we mere mortals, do you feel paparazzi go too far? Or is it a justified expense for a flick of your favorite star?
