why can’t celebs prohibit tabloids from publishing pics and stories about them?

I think you have to have authorization to use someone else’s pictures. so why don’t celebs do something about it?
i just don’t understand.
If i were a singer or something would it be impossible for me to avoid tabloids?

aren’t there privacy laws?
what about kiss and tell stories? can you sue someone who says something about you even if it’s true?

Finding clean free celebrity fake list Online

there aren’t a lot of clean fakes out there in the online ocean, but if light-hearted fun is what you’re looking for there are several sites to surf that could provide you with humorous, fake celebrity images. Cable TV network Comedy Central is well-known for its fake news programs, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, and sometimes uses manipulated celebrity images to entertain audiences. Fake news site, The Onion might also provide you with a few chuckles at the expense of a celebrity, but neither site features photo galleries of fake celebrity pics. Phony photos have probably been around since the camera was invented, but in the digital world of photo-editing, photo forgeries are fairly common, especially online, but can also appear in magazines, newspapers and even in print ads. If you’re thinking tabloids hold the monopoly on faking celebrity pics you are mistaken. Even Newsweek has been reported to have altered the photo of Martha Stewart that appeared on a 2005 cover. to give readers an idea of how the empress of interior design might look after being released from prison, the publication placed the head of Stewart onto the body of a thinner model to suggest she would be better than ever after her experience in the slammer. Searching the Internet for fake celebrity pics can be a risky quest to embark upon if you don’t know how to narrow your search. Littered with mature content, most sites that feature phony celebrity photos are not appropriate for younger web-surfers and even some adults out there might be offended. Those looking to be entertained by some clean and light-hearted fun should let this article be their guide to finding fake photos of your favorite celebrities. Celeb-obsessed blogs like that of self-proclaimed “Media Queen” Perez Hilton and Pink is the new Blog always show-off altered photos, but usually the changes made on blog sites like these do not threaten the integrity of the photo (they are still fun to browse, though). Celebrity slip-ups caught on film are a good source of amusement, but your best bet for finding clean, fake pictures of celebrities online is to look for impersonators.

California and International Celebrity Lawyer On Invasion of …

Today, celebrity and workplace privacy is being invaded on a daily basis. the right of celebrities to privacy is constantly being abused through the misappropriation by others of their name (or one confusingly similar to it), likeness and images. the right of publicity, the right to control the commercial use of their identity, is constantly infringed. Celebrity hospital records and other private facts are routinely leaked to the public. their seclusion or solitude is intruded upon by photographers. and celebrities are constantly defamed by being put in a false light.

Now individual citizens are also having their privacy invaded in the work place by employers who utilize surveillance cameras and computer software programs to monitor their employees and forcing their workers to sign waivers of their expectations of privacy.

For decades, photographs of celebrities have been used in advertising without the permission of the celebrity. stories in tabloids routinely link them to inappropriate behavior they had nothing to do with, and they are accused of actions they never took. Photos are obtained by using by surreptitious means and their cell phone calls are intercepted.

Anyone can suddenly become a celebrity. But in order to make a claim for the misappropriation of a celebrity’s name, likeness, voice or image, a celebrity needs to show that the defendant used an aspect of the celebrity’s identity, that it was used for a commercial or exploitative purpose and that the celebrity never gave consent for such a use.

If you’ve been the victim of an invasion of privacy as a celebrity or at your place of work, visit our website at http://www.sebastiangibsonlaw.com and call us at any of the numbers easily found on our website.

Celebrities today include actors, authors, artists, politicians, models, athletes, musicians, singers, television personalities, well-known business executives, and any other of hundreds of types who seek to be in the public eye including reality TV stars. However, to have your privacy invaded, you don’t have to be a celebrity. All you need is a job.

London has in recent years become the venue of choice for celebrities to bring defamation lawsuits, however California is paving the way for workplace invasion of privacy cases. at the law firm of Sebastian Gibson we have over thirty years of experience in California and in London and Sebastian Gibson has law degrees both in the U.S. and the U.K.

Today, damage awards in many such celebrity and invasion of privacy lawsuits are covered in insurance policies under the category of “advertising injury.” the term “advertising injury” covers defamation including libel, slander and product disparagement, infringements of copyrights, trademarks, slogans and advertising ideas or a style of doing business, and may include other violations of intellectual property rights such as the unauthorized use of a celebrity’s name, likeness, voice or image. a violation of a right to privacy is also covered under such policies of insurance as either an advertising or personal injury.

Advertising requires widespread distribution to the public at large. However, with the advent of the internet, almost anyone can cause an advertising injury with the click of the mouse. an e-mail sent to a wide enough audience, an entry on Facebook, a tweet on Twitter can all cause advertising injury, as can a statement contained on a person’s or a company’s web site.

Insurance companies have tried to deny coverage from time to time but in the case where a company is involved, an insurance company must prove both that the policyholder either made the defamatory statement or directed the employee to make it, and that the policyholder had knowledge of the falsity of the statement, a situation which is rarely the case.

Today the right of privacy is also coming to the forefront as more and more employers operate surveillance systems in areas in which their employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy. in an effort to prevent theft, sexual harassment, the viewing of pornography on office computers and the perpetration of actionable civil or criminal acts, employers are in many instances intruding on and invading the privacy of their employees. Employers are using hidden cameras, workplace searches, keystroke monitoring computer programs, e-mail, website and voice mail monitoring, and other software to snoop on their employees while cloaking themselves with the claim that their actions are being done to “protect” their employees.

The constitutional protection against unlawful searches is today being discarded by employers who require employees (who have no bargaining power to refuse) to sign waivers which state that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy in their place of employment.

It is only through litigation that this growing problem can be stopped. with large jury awards and multi-million dollar settlements, those who have in the past failed to respect the privacy of celebrities and employers who have shown disdain for the privacy of their workforce may think twice before installing monitoring equipment and performing illegal searches of their employees’ spaces, computers or monitoring their e-mails, cell phone calls and visits to web sites.

The invasions of privacy that celebrities have had to endure are today being endured by members of the workforce and the public at large. if you’re a celebrity and you’ve had your privacy invaded, or if your privacy has been invaded at work, call Attorney Sebastian Gibson at (800) 589-3202 or e-mail us from our website at www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com

Every so often a celebrity sex scandal takes over an entire news cycle and turns our perception of a famous figure sideways and upside down quicker than a Michael Phelps bong hit. Few stories in recent memory have been as all-consuming as Tiger Woods’ recently exposed shenanigans, and fewer still have reverberated after the fact in news and lifestyle media coverage.

Like erstwhile mayoral hopeful Adam Giambrone, Woods was caught with his pants down: damning text messages, a slew of lovers progressively revealed, a serious partner (wife, in Tiger’s case) subordinated. One thing the Woods and Giambrone scandals share is both men made things significantly worse for themselves by initially lying about their infidelity and trying to hide from public view. That led to a feeding frenzy befit for tabloids that took over the most respectable of media outlets. Tiger, though, may have had a far better reason for his literal tight lips than the clueless councillor from Davenport. Some reports put Tiger on an overnight flight to Arizona for emergency dental surgery after his wife, Elin, landed a perfect chip shot on his mug on that fateful night in late November.

Tiger has since strongly denied that there has ever been an episode of domestic violence in his relationship, but the evidence—not to mention that his denial was largely the same in substance and style as his initial denial of infidelity—make it tough for a critically thinking person to accept that suggestion at face value.

Now that the Tiger is out of the cage, it’s worth surveying the damage. he has become an easy punch-line, and, by some reports, has offended some with his almost exclusive choice of white lovers. other golfers on tour haven’t hesitated to criticize his on-course etiquette—cussing and throwing clubs are to Tiger what sunflower seeds and chewing tobacco are to baseball players—and register disagreement with his personal choices.

But the cultural ramifications have been great, too. a whole slew of literature on technology and cheating has popped up. One article explained that texting is the new version of finding the other woman’s perfume on his collar. Tiger’s blown it for all of us.

Executives from Ashley Madison, a self-described affair-arranging company, have been featured in the media talking about their services as if they could be a North American car exec discussing the implications of the Toyota fiasco on their bottom line. theirs is a service that some adults want, and (unlike Tiger’s lovers) they prioritize your need for discretion.

And what about sex addiction? There have always been practicing sex therapists working on the assumption that sex can be as addictive and destructive as alcohol and tobacco. Now Tiger’s put it in the mainstream. It’s an idea most of us viscerally scoff at, but according to some reports, Elin was so enlightened by what she learned from Tiger’s therapy at a Mississippi clinic that she is seriously looking at keeping him. No doubt there have been a few (but probably not many) wandering lovers around the world whose infidelity is now being looked at in a different light by once-wrathful wronged spouses.

Now Tiger’s children will grow up, much like Chelsea Clinton did, with dad’s infidelity always being the elephant in the room. That’s especially ironic because he has always been one of the most private celebrities in the world relative to his stature.

Oh, and what about that whole professional golf thing? There are probably more than a handful pro golfers on the PGA circuit who are more than slightly bitter that the biggest story so far this season has been Tiger’s personal life. and, for now, the tour has a somewhat mediocre feel to it, with the biggest star at home licking his wounds rather than focusing on winning tournaments.

But that could soon change. Tiger is widely reported to play a low-key tournament in March near the gated community where his Florida mansion is located. That would set him up to play the Masters in April, Elin permitting.

So Tiger and Giambrone, both reckless and irresponsible in their personal conduct, come to a fork in the road together, and that’s where they’ll part. Giambrone will become an obscure footnote in Toronto political history. Tiger, despite having lost more money in sponsorships than the population of some small towns will make combined in their lifetimes, remains a multi-hundred-millionaire who will get paid to play on the nicest golf courses in the world for the rest of his life. and he just might get to keep his supermodel wife, too.

This whole saga makes an escape shot from a bunker on the back nine of Augusta look as simple as a tee shot on a straight par 3 during a practice round, but Tiger, ever the escape artist and miracle worker on the links, looks like he might somehow, unthinkably, land on the green one more time.

Which Other Celebrity Is In Sex Rehab Too?

Tiger is reportedly getting on the monogamy wagon, and this guy’s famous wife insisted he get help too. This actress needs help getting over a past love, and a reality star needs help getting over himself. welcome to Gossips Anonymous.

1. “The tabloids are all in a feeding frenzy about a celebrity in sex rehab and it doesn’t involve Tiger Woods or David Duchovny. instead this has been mostly outpatient. The actor is B+/A- list. bigger than David. Most of the time he is in movies but he would show up on television if you are his friend. Married because if you are single you don’t really check into sex rehab. oh, he is good looking. Child/ren. Actress wife.” [CDaN]

2. “The folks who create the seating chart for the Golden Globes received a request from the team of this previous Golden Globes Award nominee/winner that she be seated as far away from another celebrity as possible at Sunday’s ceremony. although their breakup wasn’t recent, it had been ugly, and they still typically avoid each other whenever possible. You see, although their original relationship was a setup, she thought that their relationship had gone from fake to real over time and that she was The one. she wasn’t, and she was genuinely hurt when he moved on to another fake relationship. It’s always a little funny and sad to see the fake smile she puts on whenever his name is mentioned. Then again, her entire face was oddly tight at the awards show. Snip, snip!” [Blind Gossip]

3. “We suppose this doesn’t really need to be a blind, so we’ll reveal it soon. This MTV reality star from a new popular show frequents the same restaurant on a regular basis. According to a waitress at the place, the star is a total jerk. he is a famously low tipper (usually around $US1.00 per ticket) and makes sexist remarks to all the female staff. (He once told a waitress “Don’t get your hopes up because I’m not leaving my phone number on a napkin.” To which she replied, “Uh, I don’t want your phone number, thanks.”) The best part is, he is constantly checking himself out in the mirrors and windows, the reflection on his cell phone, and even uses his spoon to fix his hair. When he has company with him, he spends more time looking at himself than whoever he is with. Not Brody Jenner.” [BuzzFoto]
