No one, bystander or celebrity, should be hounded That law should apply to everybody. So, the chief of police is stupid.

The arguments that were given against Johns statement were irrelevant, if you regulate paparazzi, you do not have to decide who is a celebrity and who is not. It does not matter if it is regulated.

See...JM isn't such a dueche after all.

I mean I understand they have a job to make but they really should get a grip on themselves. Taking photographs of kids? Driving dangerously in a threatening manner? All this is really dangerous. There's a job and then there's reckless behavior and one of these days someone is going to get hurt and it's not going to be pretty.

that guy had a really lame excuse where theres a will theres a way, i dont see the common commoner asking for help on the papparazzi, celebrities are the famous people dipshit get something done

John Mayers amazing!

[seriouslyjb]

I agree paps need to back up. They take hundreds of pictures! Not one and move on. No one should have to deal with this. No one!

[avstne]

Yea, he did choose that lifestyle, but should he, or any of the others, have to deal with it? His job is to make music, just like its other peoples' jobs to cure people, teach kids, etc.. But none of the other proffessions have to deal with that.. Idk I'm just babbling, but that's my opinion. Just because he went into this job well aware this would happen, it doesn't mean he can't stand against it.

The gov't wont do anything about them. Money. As long as they're making money it's a free for all.

[dr05guitar]

uh i think it's pretty obvious that the celebrities are the ones being swarmed with the paparazzi, no need to define who is a celeb and who isn't...this is kind of a silly subject anyway haha

[godswiph]

THEY KILLED PRINCESS DIANA!!! the only reason u don't know that is because of the amount of money they generate... its absurd. Do u know how much brad and angelina sold their baby pictures for?... that should put things in perspective. (they gave that money to charity, btw)

Don't get me wrong on this...I love John Mayer's music, and I think he is very talented...However...I think he should quit crying. That's all part of the lifestyle he has chosen. Fans want to know how their idols live, out of the spotlight. That will never change. If he doesn't want the fame, I'm sure there are millions of people who would gladly take it off his hands.
