Paparazzi : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Paparazzi

A paparazzo is a photographer who specialized in a very profitable branch of his profession: the star and celebrity chasing and spying. The word appeared for the first time in the Italian movie La Dolce Vita. According to the Italian spelling, paparazzi is the plural, and paparazzo the singular. This is why it is spelled like this in America too.

Tabloids have largely favored the boom of this business, where photographers have nerve and must always find new ways to approach these stars very closely and take pictures. Many newspapers are regularly sued. Stars file complaints against them considering some information as libelous. However, quite often do stars filed complaints just to get money in compensation even though pictures do not show them in a bad posture. In other words, they just want to get extra-payment.

Paparazzi are described as venal, fearing neither god or man. Just like bounty hunters, the paparazzo is, in some way, acting like in a manhunt. With his bag on his back and his camera at his fingertips, he spends hours in a hideout, waiting for something, it's a real time trial... and all that for one picture taken on the sly, one press scoop.

The truth is that their business is profitable to anyone. They are paid a huge amount of money for their pics, papers sell thousands of copies thanks to the pics, and stars are still popular tjanks to them as well! Eventually, everyone comes off better!

But paparazzi don't hesitate sometimes to benefit from the financial boon stars represent. In 2008, a paparazzo tried to win a case against Keanu Reeves, pretending the latter injured him and that he could not work anymore because of it. It was soon proven that the paparazzo still worked, and that his faked his injury to get around $ 700,000 in compensation.
