"paparazzi" news and stories

Wow, there's a headline I never thought I'd write.

Actor Hugh Grant was arrested in London yesterday for allegedly throwing a plastic tub filled with baked beans at photographer Ian Whittaker. Whittaker says that Grant also kicked him and yelled at him before he threw the beans at him.

A plastic container filled with baked beans? This could have been much worse. He could have thrown cans filled with beans at the photographer, or glass jars filled with tomato sauces or pickles, or maybe even cling peaches...in heavy syrup.

Grant was released on bail and no charges have been filed.

Today I came across CelebritiesEating.com. Just what it sounds like, this is a collection of candid (some might say unauthorized) photos of famous folks eating. It appears they have well over 100 celebs, including people like Jay Leno, Star Jones, Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Walken (right), all getting their snack on. Why? I have no idea. I'm still not exactly sure what the appeal is. Maybe some folks enjoy seeing movie stars eating because it makes them seem like everyday folk? Truly, I'm stumped.
