Of course, he could probably be a little better at_avoiding_paparazzi...you pretty much know where those guys are likely to be...but my respect for him went up greatly when he did that. Is that wrong? Jon, you don't think he did it to raise his profile?! Go Gerry!

(And I'm not prone to violence either but enough is enough.) The current variety are not just hanging around nightspots and premieres to snap. They are confrontational, indisious and dangerous. Nobody "chooses" to be hounded every minute of the day by rude and provocative bullies and that's what a lot of the new version of paps have become. Many normally very well behaved celebs have had run-ins with these vermin. And if the LA DA's don't see a problem over "self-defense" (that's how I see it) then neither do I. As to WOG, PLEASE make as many versions as you want and I'll buy every one repeatedly! But don't tease! That's wicked!

IMO, Gerard Butler chose to be a movie star. I'm sure he had some idea about the paparazzi long before he actually made it (and I don't think he has actually made it. He is far from being an A lister). So now he finds he doesn't like to be hounded by the paparazzi, but I would bet he wouldn't like being totally ignored by them, either. This kind of action on Gerard Butler's part is the same thing that has made me boycott Russell Crowe's movies. The last time I checked, I didn't think a person was a 14 year old just because she disagrees with your opinion. If a man had written that, would you have addressed him as a naive 14 year old? Ibisia, I hope you won't let this brutish bully attitude keep you from posting on other blogs and voicing your opinion, because you always have a right to your opinion. Mr. Gustafsson, I wish you the best of luck as you pursue your career. Perhaps we should warn the paparazzi to stay clear of you. That would mean no media exposure. I don't think you need to worry, though. The paparazzi only go after the famous. I just ran across this blog. IMO, Gerard Butler chose to be a movie star.

Humor can’t solve the state of the economy (Iceland’s or the world’s in general) or make all the stress and worry it has inflicted on those directly affected disappear, but a little laugh in the face of the over whelming challenges of this looming tragedy and the woes of life itself can keep feet on solid ground while hope floats and survival triumphs. Humor such as yours, indicates a well grounded, good grip on life… The best to you, and sincere hopes and good thoughts for Iceland. So sorry about the state of the Icelandic Krona, and the overall

Thank you for being outspoken enough to say what we are all thinking. I whole-heartedly agree with you, and cheered him as well. I have always thought Gerry far too saint-like in his dealings with the insidious underbelly of low-level journalism. (An apology to all my highly esteemed journalist friends, for even loosely associating you with the paparazzi). Incidently- As for someone who *has* actually met you and can vouch for the, "type of person you are" (no offense to the outspoken party in question, well maybe just a little, considering I dislike seeing my friends being condemned, unjustly or otherwise) it is my humble opinion, you are very "well-heeled", and more importantly; a man of great character. After all, it take more strength to "live on your feet, than to die on your knees". And, if this offends the offending party in question, may I apologize in advance; but don't we usually see in others, and accuse them of, what we ourselves are most guilty of being...? (Just food for thought and my objective consideration of the facts) Bravo Jon! Thank you for being outspoken enough to say what we are all thinking.

I'm a horrible person. I think some of the most aggressive and obnoxious paparazzi crowd simply needs to be beaten up, but I never saw that as "my philosophy", just a gut reaction of sort. Normally I don't respond to silly messages, but I think I could have fun with this one. Your philosophy is clearly warped (as you said) and most clearly naive. From your style and language I would guess that you are around fourteen years of age so I won't be too hard on you, but if you hated the film I would give you a refund. After all it was your own choice to buy the film and watch it. If, on the other hand, you would ever find me stalking you, invading your privacy, making your life hell, not respecting you, trying to exploit you, like the paparazzi do... then you would have my permission to "pound on me". You don't have to worry, even if I am a "not too well heeled moron", I would never do that to you or anyone else. Yes, I’ll be the first to admit it. I’m a horrible person.
