It's about time....

Britney might be getting a law named after her. That's if L.A. City Councilman Dennis P. Zine gets his way. He is proposing that a "safety zone" be set up to protect public safety. The "bubble" would be built around celebrities hospitals, traffic, businesses, homes, etc...



He also wants to make all paps get licenses. If they violate the safety zone, they could get their license taken away and lose all the money they make from the photos.


Dennis told Radar "The straw that broke the camel's back is the $24,000 we spent to escort an L.A. City ambulance (with Brit in it) to the hospital. I'm not infringing upon the right to take a picture. I'm concerned about the impact they have on the general public."


There's already an"anti-stalkerazzi" law in California. If paps cause any kind of damage while taking pics of a celebrity they are responsible for three times the damage. They also lose any profit they would have made from take those pictures.


The new "Britney Law" will go to the committee by March 1.

It's about time. I totally understand that this is what celebrities "signed up for" but what gets lost in the shuffle is that celebrities (with the exclusion of Paris Hilton) are usually talented entertainers. That's what they signed up for, actually.

To sing and dance for us or act brilliantly and convincingly in a movie. The kind of stuff the average person cannot do. These people are good at their craft and we are willing to shell out the cash to watch them perform. That's why they get the huge paychecks too. There are a LOT of us and only one of them.

That's what it's really about and that is what puts them in the spotlight. Of course we all want to see what they are "really" like hence these blogs, television shows etc. The paparazzi really do cross the line and very often place their target and other innocent bystanders at risk.

Hopefully something can be done to gain control of this craziness.
