They live pretty close to us. We were at the park for my sons soccer game (couple years ago) and there were 20+ photogs there! They had a security guy who talked to the paparazzi and told them they could snap pics IF they kept their distance and gave them SOME privacy, which they did....for a while. When they were obviously done and wrapping it up to head to their car, the paps SWARMED them making a circle around them with maybe 5 feet of space between them and the lenses and followed them all the way till they drove away.
They smiled and just ignored them...how, I have NO IDEA !!!
I had a friend that for a few years was at that same level of fame and was in the tabloids every day. I asked him how they hell he dealt with it (it didn't just effect him, it effected all of us, his friends as well. Going out etc) and he said..."Im lucky, I make a fortune for pretending to be someone on TV. If I decided to walk away from it all, they would forget about me inside a month. As long as they don't invade my private property and keep it to public places, I CHOOSE to deal with it. Its what I prayed for, dreamed of and ultimately signed up for. To whine about it seems a bit silly when Its my choice to walk away from any time I want"
