the paparazzi market (-dynamics)
paparuleys:
photographers - do not take photographs unless given permission.
photographers - do not take photographs unless paid.
celebrities - when you give permission, let them.
celebrities - when they pay you, let them photograph you.
viewers rejoice.
(readers rarely notice)
—- wait, maybe better, maybe funnier: someone makes a reality show out of following the paparazzi.  wouldn’t that fix it? it’s like a completely whole OTHER super EXTRA layer of BULLSHIT all on its own!  You can then “product place” certain celebrities into the show within the show within the show… the meta-bullshit show! that’s fuckin value! I’d love to see a shit-ton of money go into some things like that!  (what has happened! I apparently just turned into George Carlin…!)
back to the pitch…
“Are you an overwrought actor/celebrity who hates having his every movement under scrutiny (while, no doubt, being just a wee bit oversensitive about the whole issue, in a “my business manager makes me do it” sort of way)? If so, go produce this show.”
suddenly i .. do feel like turning on the tv.  hmm.
