Paparazzi
Paparazzi, cant make the man.
Paparazzi, cant break the man.
Next to the transit lounge
See the paparazzi tears.
No-one came in today
From boston or tangiers.
And in departures ---
Only faceless trippers trip,
Loaded with duty free
Held in white knuckle grip.
Snap it up, flash away ---
Steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
The news is running late tonight.
Be-decked with nikon necklaces
Hear the paparazzi cries.
Under their noses walk
The famous in disguise.
Conspicuously huddled there
But no-one stops to look.
Theyve got their crayons out
To colour in the book.
Snap it up, flash away ---
Steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
Paparazzi wont be home tonight.
Paparazzi --- write it down.
Paparazzi --- turn it around.
Paparazzi --- take it, fake it,
Break it.
'cos its a story.
Now someones cut the lines
Communications down.
All photo film is fogged.
Celebrities surround
And jab their fingers at me.
They kiss but I cant tell.
Even poor paparazzi
Must have privacy as well.
Snap it up, flash away ---
Steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
The news is running late tonight.
Snap it up, flash away ---
Steal a camel for a day.
Break the story in heavy type ---
Paparazzi wont be home tonight.

To Speak Or Not To Speak?
social contexts
public blunders
entrapment potentials
contrast expectations
when I've said too much!
with I haven't said enough!
context carefully consider this?
explore image fixation artists
spaz set in spotlight comments...
love primary paradoxes
mystery more is less
pulling potent stories
picture portrait contrast
sitting lost in shadow corners
paparazzi media out of sight
genuine personality private
versus intense public spotlight
interior exterior dialogues...
speaker is actually famous
trendy celebrity performer face
caught pants down or on red carpet
paparazzi blitz frames in spotlight
is literal versus unknown in public
metaphor for unknown unseen out about
paparazzi nose tease pout delivers
six degrees of celebrity connections
paparazzi pride dissects best tidbits...

Famous
I don't
Want to be
Famous.
I'll be
Hounded
By the
Paparazzi.
They'll
Make
Money
Out of my
Every little
Story…
Without
Even
Verifying
If there's
An iota
Of truth
In what
They
Write
About me.

What I've learned is that you really don't need to be a celebrity or have money or have the paparazzi following you around to be famous.
Eye Trouble
Close by flashes
fill the night
of my peripheral vision
what's nearly there
just above my shoulder
over my straining brow
I can see in a blink
the paparazzi
ducking into dark alleys
patiently waiting for me to emerge
smiling into innocent lamplight
to trap me, like Princess Di
with their flash

When you have the paparazzi hiding in the bushes outside your home, the only thing you can control is how you respond publicly.

Vogue a Pose
Assimilate all of your excessive moves.
Co-ordinate every accessory you choose.
Separate each pose,
To develop into downloaded grooves.
And vogue a pose you could carry over...
Like a model throttled up,
In a hold held bold.
And vogue a pose,
You could carry over...
For a paparazzi set,
To make you that 'IT' yet!
And vogue a pose,
You could carry over...
Either on the internet.
Or something you could even text.
And vogue a pose,
You could carry over...
For a paparazzi set,
To make you that 'IT' yet!
Assimilate all of your excessive moves.
Co-ordinate every accessory you choose.
Separate each pose,

And vogue a pose you could carry over...
Like a model throttled up,
In a hold held bold.
And vogue a pose,

Either on the internet.
Or something you could even text.
And vogue a pose,
You could carry over...

I'm not bothered by the paparazzi and I don't feel hemmed in, I've never felt that. My youth, mind you, there wasn't quite the same attention to celebrities as there is now, but I've never felt that.

The only thing I think I can be accused of about paparazzi is being really naive. I didn't think about it coming along with the job and I never, during my three years at drama school, fantasized about one bit of it.

A Heart Will Break
Im better off without you
Im better off you know
Were nothing more than strangers
With nowhere else to go
But like a fool Ill stay by your side
Knowing that you wont believe me
When I say Ive tried
A heart will break tonight
Make no mistake Ill lie awake tonight
A heart will break and I wont feel the same
cos you stay just the same as you are
And a heart will break tonight
We made no commitment
We made only words
Its no consolation that were free like the birds
cos who needs to fly like they do
Theres only one reason Im staying
Its cos I love you...i do
A heart will break tonight
Make no mistake Ill lie awake tonight
A heart will break and I wont feel the same
cos you stay just the same as you are
And a heart will break tonight
A heart will break tonight
Make no mistake Ill lie awake tonight
A heart will break and I wont feel the same
cos you stay just the same as you are
And a heart will break tonight
Tonight its gonna break
Dont know if Ill make it
Thru the night...oh oh oh oh...

I've been... chased by paparazzi, and they run lights, and they chase you and harass you the whole time. It happens all over the world, and it has certainly gotten worse. You don't know what it's like being chased by them.

In France we have a law which doesn't allow the press to publish a photo that you didn't approve. It lets the paparazzi take the picture, but if they publish this picture, you have the choice to sue the newspaper. So me, I always sued them.

I know Fashion
I know fashion
Models posing, critics complaining,
Celebs shopping, paparazzi stalking
I know fashion
Perfume scents fill the air, bling-bling glistens everywhere,
Cameras flash here and there, diet pills popped everywhere
I know fashion
“I wana be like her”, “These rail thin models”
“The camera loves ya! ”, “Let’s go Shopping! ”
I know fashion

I experienced a lot of loss after his death. I lost my city because of all the paparazzi descending upon us. I actually lost my journal during that time, oddly enough. I literally couldn't hold on to anything.
