Parenting and The End of The World

Mr. Christopher from Corner Stork Baby Gifts bringing you the latest baby news. Boy oh boy. These entertainment photographers just keep on getting worse and worse. Liev Schreiber of “Scream” fame got very irritated at photographers while dining with his wife Naomi Watts and their infant.

Upon arrival at the Taverna Tony restaurant, 2 photographers came up behind Liev while he was holding a baby carrier and got a close up picture of his baby. That didn’t go well at all with Liev who handed off the carrier to Naomi and chased the photographer and gave him a good push, yelling “You F**cking disgust me and I have one f**king foot” referring to his ankle injury that has him hobbling. Was that the end? Of course not.

Liev then approached the second photographer on the scene including a lady that appeared to be taking pictures for herself. She screamed “Don’t touch me!” as Liev approached her. Liev left her alone, then turned to chase the rest of the photographers all the way out to their cars.

He then went and finished dinner with his wife. However when they left, the ignorant photographers decided it was time to see if they could get him to snap on film and get the next “Brad Garret” story. Liev’s blood sugar was obviously back to normal now that he had eaten and he just ignored them as they yelled “You better sit down before I knock your a** out.” While Liev ignored, they got to Naomi though and she showed them the third digit.

Do you guys feel like these photographers are going way too far nowadays? They are constantly pushing and pushing. And to make matters worse they get paid big bucks if they can make them lose it. And taking pictures of someone’s child is a definite no no. I’d probably lose it if someone took a picture of my kid without my permission. What are your thoughts on these idiots?

9/20/07 UPDATE: First, sorry about the outdated video link to Brad’s scuffle. The YouTube owner changed the URL, but I found another copy of it on Brightcove and it’s below. But secondly, let me say that I am so proud. I hadn’t seen this, but Brad Garrett appeared on Conan’s show and has verified what we saw in the video about the paparazzi being in his dates way. While everyone else was crying foul, we saw the truth. Thank you Brad Garret for confirming what we saw and reported. This just makes us even more legitimate as your trustworthy entertainment news source. See Brad’s confirmation here. Now back to the original post.

Mr. Chris from Corner Stork back in the mix again with your latest entertainment gossip. It appears that the giant 6′ 8″ Brad Garrett from the hit series Everybody Loves Raymond got a little irritated at one of TMZ’s infamously pushy photographers and gave him a camera in the face, but TMZ is obviously confused about the reason behind it.

According to a report on TMZ.com, Brad Garrett made a comment last week in front of several witnesses commenting to a black photographer saying “”I didn’t know there were black people in Malibu. Go back to where you came from.” It was obviously a light hearted joke, but not nearly as career killing effective as Kramer’s. Either way, the comment wasn’t taken well by the photographer from the FAME photo agency.

As Brad exited the Nobu restaurant around 11:30, the photographers were crowding him and his date as he walked to the car. The entire time he walked to his vehicle, the unnamed black photographer kept calling him a racist over and over again. Obviously trying to get him irritated. It wasn’t working and Brad just ignored him. The highlight came as Brad approached a TMZ photographer and shoved the camera in his face and down to the ground.

TMZ claims that Brad was striking out at the photographer making the “you’re a racist comments” and had mistakenly targeted the TMZ photographer as the person doing the taunting. But maybe TMZ should look a little closer at the video. You’ll see Brad walk to his car and open the passenger door, but no one gets in. Why is that? That’s because TMZ is so busy getting in Brad’s face that they have effectively blocked his date from being able to get in the car. You can see Brad notice this act of rudeness, push the photographer out of the way and then escort his date to the car. Watch the video and judge for yourself. This push has nothing to do with the racist comments at all. He knows where those comments are coming from because he even banters with the black photographer back and forth. But he’s not stupid enough to strike a black photographer whose calling him a racist on video. We’ll give Brad a little more credit than that. That would be big trouble and Brad knows it.

This has nothing to do with any racist comments, but simply yet another case of photographers being obnoxious, nosy and blatant opportunists to the point where they are just plain rude. So our hats off to Brad Garrett for being a gentleman to his lady. TMZ’s photographers should apologize for being inconsiderate instead of expecting an apology from a man who did nothing but be chivalrous. Brad should head over to My Wedding Favors at www.myweddingfavors.com and pick up this lovely gift set of an elegant pearl with crystal accents for his lady and maybe she’ll forget about that rude photographer and give him another chance.
