I like candids. I wouldn't take any though, but I can't say that I haven't enjoyed some of the stuff posted here, like Stevie looking into the shop window or leaving the steakhouse or that one with Lindsey walking down the street with Kristen. We giggled over that for several pages. I take delight in those things.

But I don't go to TMZ and didn't click on that Mick and Sedaka video. As a child I stopped buying tabloids. Back then the big three were The Enquirer, The Midnight Sun and The Star. I was a big Sonny and Cher fan and I always wanted all the magazines (remember Rona Barrett's magazines?) because I wanted to read stories about them possibly getting remarried. I spent my whole allowance on those magazines.

But I noticed that when celebrities died that they would always try to get morgue shots of the dead star and I decided then and there that I didn't want to see a corpse of Sonny or Cher if they died and I stopped buying the tabloids back then. Never have bought them since.

Wildhearted is right that they stalk the celebrities and take pictures of everything just in case it happens to be important. Just think if they hadn't been stationed outside of Michael Jackson's house, they wouldn't have seen his final death ride to the hospital. I'm sure TMZ was absolutely delighted with itself to get those images of the dead body on the stretcher. Made their jobs worthwhile, I suppose.
