The red carpets have all been rolled up. Dozens of movie shoots put on hold. Theaters closed. Hollywood, as we have known it, is largely on hiatus. And celebrities, like the rest of us, are mostly twiddling their thumbs at home. That’s all terrible news for paparazzi.
Snooping celebrity photographers are pivotal players in Hollywood’s whirring star-making machine. A photographer can’t make a star, but they sure can profit from giving a fledgling star a boost. The right photo of someone grabbing her daily latte can thrust...
I thought mosquitoes were immune from Covid.
Poor Babies 👶
And?
That is okay.
Yes, let’s all shed a tear for the poor paparazzi 😢 Gimmeabreak
Awe! ☹️😮😢
Well if I was a celebrity photographer I wouldn't want to take there a picture of them at this time because it would be more depressing then the virus.
who cares about those idiots
The problem will be the celebrity will keep on masking
This should have stayed in the drafts.
Fuck them.
Oh no. How sad.
Whys is this bigger news than 'Natural wealth is estimated to contribute $125T of value to society/yr, but we don't make industries pay the people when they take or degrade that which belongs 2 all A pollution fee high enuf 2 bring emissions to what most ppl say is OK is hi enuf
The are no celebrities, only over rated leeches.
Aww
The more photos of celebs in masks there are, perhaps more people will wear masks. The eyes, the windows to the soul, still show.
😷☣️
High on the list of things covered by media that are not really problems.
good , may be they could do something productive with their lives
I have mixed emotions on that one. Sure papparazzi have to make a living, but celebs deserve a break too.
Who cares?
WSJ. Hard hitting major expose' on how paparazzi are unable to photograph celebrities because of masking. THIS IS NOW US. PATHETIC.
My heart bleeds 😒
Just go around taking pictures of random people and go : Here's Courtney Kardashian at In & out .....'Maybe'
OH WELL GROW UP BE RESPONSIBLE
Keep celebrating yourself in your bathroom....
An intended consequence of a poor national strategy.
comunists the lot
1. No tenure. 2. No pension. 3. Congress person. Collects salary, while in office. No pay when out of office.
Finally getting down to the real issues in our society.
Say thanks to those Chinese Scientists who innovated a virus which could fight with Atom as well as Nuclear...
Oh, well.
Maybe it’ll put an end to a crappy practice
They could probably supplement their careers in the interim by filming police atrocities in protest zones. Just sayin'

What are the pedophiles in Hollywood doing during these times? Are the children locked in their homes Are any 'journalists' in US going to report this? SAVETHECHILDERN
The pandemic has kept most celebrities at home and that's a problem for Hollywood's many bottle feeding paparazzi.
good. it might stop the harassment.
I couldn’t possibly think of a more deserving industry to fail during these Covid times than the paparazzi. Sadly, though, they will be back.
Everybody hurts. - REM
some GOOD coming from the pandemic?
Yeah, well, FUCK THEM.
So what? Maybe pictures in masks of famous people social distancing is what we need right now!
thoughts and prayers
The Celebrities are on house arrest punishment because they were no longer effective in the propaganda campaign against the peasants. They’re rolling out a new one and only the strong survive.
Awwh that’s ok. I am happy to see Sarah Jessica in a mask staying safe. THAT is what’s important right now. She is setting a wonderful example.
Who cares
One of the brighter sides thru all this. Society needs to get over their weird love affair with weirdo celebs
WAM! Wear A Mask
No one will die by removing a mask to take a photograph, common sense!
Almost as heartbreaking as the plight of the travel influencers
The WSJ is becoming more of a rag everyday.
This is parasites writing about parasites stalking parasites. 🇺🇸
Adrenachrome withdrawal has kept most of Hollywood at home. Thank goodness!
Hasn’t the paparazzi killed celebrities while chasing them for a photograph?
Who the fuck cares
Wtf, take pictures of me, I am more famous than any celeb these days.
😂😂😂 what a shame! 🤭
And this is news for the WSJ? Shame on you!
Oh good. Maybe the stupid paparazzi will stop trying to take pictures of people's children and babies for profit
On the list of people I am concerned about they don't rank very high.
I don’t think anyone is crying
And they are largely forgotten....
Who actually cares about those rat claw dirt bags? Everyone is going to be super tore up about not seeing a picture of Matthew Broderick eating a deconstructed salad. A single tear runs down my cheek.
It’s been nice
😭
You mean the paparazzi is gonna have get real jobs
I see this as an absolute win
Aww😥
lol who cares about papparazis
Who’s he?🤭
Man, we are running out of shit to write about
Oh well, the paparazzi are parasites anyway
And the world is a much bette place for it.
Noooooo please nooooo what will I do with out the paparazzi!!
Yes that may be true but its been great for the rest of us. If only we could get them to leave as they have promised so many times
Hahahaahahaaaahaaaha
Friendly reminder to all those celebs and 'stars': The mask here is serve for protection yet not fashion
Have actually not missed a thing woth Hollywood.
Who cares?
Cry me a river. This is newsworthy?
Who cares! None are essential!
And not a problem for literally anyone else. Maybe the business of professionally stalking people for money deserves to perish and be re-framed as a positive silver lining of a global pandemic.
Tough. Go get a real job
FINALLY the paparazzi can starve to death
Have they ever taken a picture of the world's smallest violin playing my heart bleeds for you ?
...
She is one who looks better with a mask on
They're parasites who don't deserve our sympathy.
Close Hollyweird forever & the human race might actually progress in a positive direction.
OMG kkkkkk
One bright spot from COVID19.
“The pandemic has kept most celebrities at home...” That might be the only positive aspect of lockdowns.
it is the single biggest problem facing our country right now.
Celebrities have a solution after the pandemic
🤣🤣🤣 now we're supposed to feel bad for the scummiest people on earth? If they go away after the pandemic it'll be like humanity wiping the dog shit off their shoe.
It’s been Great for society though!
this is very good.
Sucks to suck
😩
Good
Haven’t missed Hollywood.
Silver lining
Oh no...
‘star photographers?’ how polite
Meanwhile hundreds of real businesses are needlessly being destroyed by the economic lockdown. No one cares about the celebrities or the scabs that feed on them.
It’s kinda nice not hearing from celebrities
Bottom feeders of the bottom feeders
You mean celebrity photographers are not essential workers? And wait, Hollywood actors aren’t either? Mind blown 🤯
Let me stand in the corner and cry
Yall are worried about hollywood and their shows even though they are fake, when you should be worried about their safety?
Maybe paparazzi will have to get a real job.
🤣
Aren’t the paparazzi considered to be the bottom-feeders of civilized society? Do other journalists and photo-journalists prefer to be “on the same level” as them?
Oh...you mean the parasites are suffering? And so are the paparazzi?
Result!
😭😭😭 Well, gosh, they don't have anyone to chase down? No privacy to decimate? That's just plain awful 😫😭 Does this mean they may have to get actual jobs? 😲😲
Waaa 😭 Most photographers, event professionals, musicians artists are all hurting from the pandemic.
Who gives a fuck
Good.
Sarah Jessica Parker
diazbriseno good. maybe this rancid trend of legalized stalking will finally go the fuck away.
Thank god.
Who cares?
Who cares about celebrity photographers? More deadly is that the mask requirements are creating a generation of sociopathic children. Children (and adults) entire lives are based on giving and receiving facial expressions. We’re raising a generation of antisocials
Gee, that's too bad. Let's see. File this tweet under 'Who gives a rat's patoot.'
Michael Jackson was onto something
Honestly, these leeches who stalk celebs to make their living are not a priority for me or most Americans. I'm much more concerned about businesses that may not re-open, and millions of unemployed who's jobs have disappeared. Sorry paparazzi, your 'career' is not my problem.
The one good from COVID, the absolutely meaninglessness of celebrities; what they say, think, wear, do, don’t do is clear
Good. Get a real job
Boohoo. Not sorry.
More O2 for the real people.
Even with the mask on, SJP is still
Well there’s a silver lining in this mess after all.
Oh no?
we need to bail them out. take my tax money.
No one cares when millions of unemployed workers are about to be homeless
Great, now these jerks can finally find a real job.
Oh for fvcks sake.
You paid someone to spend time on this stupidity?
Paparazzi killed Prince Diana. Nobody cares if they have a job.
seriously ,,,, zulu foxtrot
Definite improvement on that horse- faced woman
yeah, but people are more polite ... coincidence?
Oh. noo whatever will we do
Good
First world problem?
And?
You beat next 30, 40 year your time coming
I hope they all are forced to find other lines of work and leave those people the hell alone.
my heart bleeds.
You mean to tell me people make a living doing this.... when celebs give the people free pics on ig.... ohhh boy
Are these the same celebrities bailing out rioters?
We’re really feeling sad for Hollywood. NOT!
Who will speak for the paparazzi?
Out on a mouth gag also, and they will be perfect.
I’m almost fabulous
Celebrities whine about these photographers but they need them to stay relevant.
Now this is the kind of unemployment I wanna hear about!
🎻
Hopefully they get a real job in the mean time. Maybe they might even get one that helps provide for society.
Good, maybe now they will consider a more useful line of work!
guess every cloud does have a silver lining
Not feeling sorry
Who gives a fuck.
File this under things no one gives a shit about
BANDIT! wow
NO ONE CARES
Boo hoo
Maybe they'll be forced to get real jobs? Wishful thinking.
Paps smeared.
Lol spare me
good
🤣🤣🤣🤣Love it! Less celebs and maybe more of the common people!
The opposite to a key worker.
Yes, I feel just awful for the paparazzi.
How will they survive?
The horror!
