–Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard scored a big victory in their #pedorazzi campaign today: both People magazine and JustJared have announced they’ll stop publishing paparazzi photos of kids. It’s all well and good, but People also has an entire (and heavily trafficked) section on celebrity babies. They make it clear in their letter that they only use “sanctioned photos,” but you see how the general public gets confused. Unless stars stop using their kids as props, this issue won’t go away. People even calls it out, saying “there’s always the tough balancing act we face when dealing with stars who exploit their children one day, and complain about loss of privacy the next.”
-Meanwhile, if Jessica Simpson ever complains about her lack of privacy, let’s all remind her about this photo she just instagrammed.
