More Unflattering Photos of Beyonce Hit the Internet
More unflattering photos of Beyonce hit the Internet over the weekend. These photos were not taken by Beyonce’s approved photog who supplies images to the media. These photos were taken by a paparazzi in Milan who somehow sneaked his professional camera equipment into the venue in Milan where Beyonce performed on Saturday, May 18.
If you recall, Beyonce went ballistic when unflattering photos of her performing during the Super Bowl halftime were published on numerous websites in January. Beyonce’s PR flack emailed the websites to remove the pictures, which resulted in one of the best viral memes of the year.

Photographers Group Threatens Backlash Against Beyonce
Maybe this is the real reason Beyonce cancelled tonight’s concert in Antwerp, Belgium?
A large photography group that services multiple news organizations has gently informed Beyonce’s camp that they will blacklist Beyonce if she doesn’t lift the ban on photographs taken during her Mrs Carter world tour.
In a letter sent to Beyonce’s camp, an attorney for the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) pointed out that the ban imposed by Beyonce on photographers has resulted in the proliferation of “prank” photos of Beyonce that are “far more unflattering” than the ones that have gone viral.
The NPPA attorney writes: “Ending the ban is more likely to result in publication of fair, objective and mutually beneficial photographs that serve your interests and ours.”

Chris Brown Spiraling Out of Control Again
Chris Brown is spiraling out of control again. Who knows what set him off this time around.
To hear his girlfriend Rihanna tell it, Brown should be happy to have her back in his life. He should be floating on cloud 9 instead of grabbing his crotch and flipping the bird at the paparazzi, who are just trying to feed their families.
Judging from this and other recent incidents, it seems that Rihanna’s presence in Brown’s life is causing more chaos than calm. It’s just a matter of time before this ticking time bomb explodes.
Paparazzi run over and killed while trying to photograph Justin Bieber’s Ferrari
The Los Angeles paparazzi community is mourning one of their own today; a photographer who was following Justin Bieber’s white Ferrari was killed as he tried to snap photos of the singer’s vehicle.
California Highway Patrol pulled over the luxury $200,000 sports car last evening in Los Angeles. The paparazzo, believed to be named Chris, approached the car snapping pictures. Once he realized Bieber was not driving the Ferrari, the photographer crossed the road to return to his vehicle and was struck and killed by a Toyoto 4Runner.
