I mean, it's one thing if you're waiting outside a movie set to snap photos of an actor leaving the set. It's another thing entirely if you're trespassing on private property, invading someone's home and essentially disturbing the sanctity of their privacy. I guess it's just another symptom of the media's rampant frenzy for the latest bit of news information and photos.
