Who keeps the paparazzi in business?

Ill explain. They take photos like crazy that end up in magazines? The photos go for alot of money, but who buys these magazines. And for what purpose do you buy them for? They say that the paparazzi does celebreties a favor, but I dont need to see a picture of celebreties to make me watch there movies or listen to there music. Just curious.

There are a lot of different factors that keep the paparazzi in business. The photos that they take do go for a lot of money just for a single photo. Because with certain celebrities you can make $30,000 + per photo, I guess the greed is there. The photographers are able to make a decent living off of a single photo, and if you think about it, several good shots will be helping them live comfortably. So that’s why they’re always following celebrities; they’re hoping for that one-in-a-million shot that’s going to be their big break and help them hit the jackpot. And though we don’t know why, a lot of people buy the tabloids, and magazines that keep them in business. There are some things that people just want to see in magazines and I guess candid photos are one of them. I would buy them just to see what’s going on in Hollywood or whatever. Sometimes there are the big ‘exclusive’ stories that are interesting which would be an occasion for a lot of people to buy and see the photos. And in a way, I guess the paparazzi do sort of help celebrities: they give them publicity and everything to help people who may not have considered them before, and who may not know of them… Just saying. But then again, if you have a favorite celebrity I guess you could buy the magazines just to see what they were up to lately or whatever… =) I hope this helps you!
