So everyone knows about how the paparazzi affects and meddles into the lives of the celebrities and how annoying they have become. Their prevalance in Hollywood has both aggravated and made the celebs’ lives more difficult in their “stalker” type of behavior. It was only a matter of time before the celebrities would fight back, giving the paparazzi photos of hoaxed instances.

In Pop Fiction celebrities are given the chance to create and fabricate current rumors or start new ones to give the paparazzi and new sources to get excited about. In return, Pop Fiction films the antics performed by the celebrities and is played on the E! channel.  For example, Avril Lavigne creates a fake baby bump in order to fool paparzzi that she is preggers. Also, Paris Hilton has a fake shaman walk and drive around with her, and soon stories and pics starts circulating that she changed her religion and many other made-up stories.

But the question is, are these celebrites doing this just to get back at the paparazzi, or to create some type of buzz about themselves? There is a common rule of thumb among celebs, “any type of publicity is good publicity”.

Publicity makes stars become more well-known, and why wouldn’t brands or companies want to have these celebrities as endorsements? Yes, paparazzi are probably annoying, but think about what comes out of the “stalk-arazzi.”

So in conclusion, Pop Fiction is good for celebrities because they get their names into the press and other forms of media. But they get the chance to do this on their own terms, and who doesn’t want things to be on their own terms? This builds their buzz, and its not like the paparazzis miss out… they still sell their pictures in the beginning!

Good job Pop Fiction, for giving celebs a fighting chance. New Pop Fiction episodes come on Sunday 10:30/9:30c.
