It appears it may be open season on the paparazzi if Sir Elton John and Britney Spears get their way. The frustrated celebrities have both came out in the last few days and mentioned that guns maybe needed to keep the snappers at bay.
Britney - while navigating the press in New York City, nearly dumped her infant son into the street and then was quoted as saying, “this is why I need a gun,” as she entered a waiting car.
Sir Elton was a bit harsher:
At a ceremony held by luxury jeweler Chopard, everything seemed to be going smoothly enough as John presented the Chopard Trophy to young Canadian actor Kevin Zegers, who co-starred in the film “Transamerica” with Felicity Huffman.
He the dropped several f-bombs and ended with, “If you saw ‘Transamerica’ … I’m talking … you “expletives deleted” photographers you should be shot, you should be all shot. Thank you.”
After handing the award to a smiling Zegers, he added: “They are a nightmare,” Reuters reports.
