If You Want To Stay Hidden You Can


The next time you hear some celebrity complaining about how the paps are always hounding them or they never have any privacy know that for the most part they are bringing it all on themselves. Someone like a Lindsay Lohan or lets say Rachel Bilson or AnnaLynne McCord, they need paps to survive. When 90210 goes off the air what do you think AnnaLynne is going to do? The same thing Rachel Bilson does now after The OC ended, try and stay in the spotlight. So, they walk around all the time getting their photo taken and trying to stay relevant.

Now, lets look at Sasha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher. They never announced when Olive was born. They never announced their marriage. Isla was spotted in May in public and was obviously pregnant but no one said anything. Now she has given birth and there have been no baby pictures sold, no let me show the world my baby. Nope. From May to yesterday you never saw the couple. It has not seemed to hurt their careers because they actually have talent.

They can get roles based on their writing or acting while other celebrities have to get their roles based on attention.

I forgot she had been pregnant. Did she have a boy or girl? olive must have dressed herself.

Yes, but they had to move to Europe to do it. Not an easy thing for some people to do. And let's face it, these two are filthy rich now and can live without work for quite a while. But I do agree that most of the gossip sites feed their sites with the same hangers on every day, but also Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon, and Kathy Holmes. Hmmm.

I'll probably go to hell for saying this, but I thought "Bruno" was hilarious.

Oprah lives in the US, is arguably the most famous woman in the US, and there are never any pap pictures taken of her coming out of The Ivy or Kitson. If you want privacy, you can have it, no matter how famous you are.

I agree--you can avoid paps if you want to. Sandra Bullock did it for quite awhile and who knew about her adopted baby until she was ready to tell?

yeah, looserdude. you have a first class ticket, too. lol. i am not a sasha fan.

chopchop said...

I love this family. Congrats to them on their new baby.

Some other celebrity (pair of actors but I can't remember who) said the same thing. They wouldn't go to the "IT" restaurant or night club. Sometimes I don't believe the cry for help celebs do regarding the paparazzi.

I loved anything Baren-Cohen does. Isla is just gorgeous.

I agree, you can easily disappear if you want to disappear. IF and SBC live in Los Angeles but you don't see them much, if ever. They don't seek out the daily exposure, so they don't get it.

The paparazzi are not everywhere.

Their are some actors that know how to keep their privacy and you still know about them. Look at Betty White lol.

Totally agree. Privacy can be had by any celebrity -- it's only a measure of how much they're willing to spend and the level of inconvenience they are willing to put up with. That, and how much they truly value their privacy above their image and careers.

@looserdude - I did too, although most parts made me extraordinarily uncomfy. :)

I think you hit the nail on the head w/ the last sentence, Enty. I really think if the celebs complaining about paps REALLY hated it, they'd move.

suri needs to go style olive...but omg, what a cutie.

Love Isla Fisher.

Sue Ellen Mishkey said...

Didn't Brolin give an interview about him and Babs? He said the same thing. Seems like common sense, non? Anyway. I love how that little one is dressed. I love when kids are dressed like a wreck and mismatched cause...they are children and not mini models like a certain celebrity child. I think it's a little creepy when they're too perfect looking.

during a recent french TV show, a french paparazzi(working at LA) said Garner/Affleck,Cruise/Holmes and Pitt/Jolie were very "friendly" (worked) with the paparazzis whereas Christian Bale and Dicaprio were very "unfriendly" with them

chopchop said...

Have you ever noticed the correlation between pap attention and true talent?

Lots of pap attention -----> Lindsay Lohan
No pap attention -------> Christian Bale

Lots of pap attention -------> Jennifer Lopez
No pap attention ---------> Meryl Streep

Lots of pap attention --------> Ben Affleck
No pap attention --------> Johnny Depp

Interesting, no?

awesome balla. said...

1) love the name olive
2) i find sacha v hot, but he looks weird here.
3) isla is freakishly pretty
thus, they should have 20394830 cute, funny kids

Even Lady Gaga said this. When she wants attention, she wears her weird outfits, when she doesn't, you really don't see any pics of her. She said she spends most of her discretionary money on security and hiding.
