keep that thing covered up. maybe try on a pair of pants or a dress cut below the hip bone.
You know...I've never really quite understood this whole thing about the celeb (I forget which one it was..paris, Britney...i dunno) not wearing underwear. Why are people outraged by this exactly?
I mean, it's HER business whether or not she wears underwear or not...she probably didn't expect someone to shove a lens looking up her skirt when she left home.
Geeeeeez
Ugh! All I could think of as I listened to this interview was "sleazebag"!!!!
What does Mr. Galella think of people who are famous simply for being famous? Paris Hilton comes to mind. Can Mr. Galella imagine the stars of his heyday being as indiscrete, such as leaving home sans underwear?
A stalker for sure, how ironic he is protected by the law. Celebs should file restraining order on these dudes.
How dare you have him on as if he is to be admired in some way. He is a stalker and made people's lives (especially Jackie's) miserable! He is disgusting.
I could swear Leonard took a swipe at this film the other day, saying he couldn't finish it because he was disgusted by it? Maybe I'm imagining this...but I could swear I heard that...
"notorious guerrilla"
"dogged pursuit"
Such polite ways to say "Peeping Tom." I guess getting paid for it somehow makes it legit.
