In her interview with Vanity Fair this year singer, Billie Eilish, known for songs Bad Guy and Ocean Eyes, discussed this concept of exploitation by the paparazzi based on pictures of her that went viral in October of 2020. There is a history worth of celebrities being caught doing random things like grabbing food, walking pets, or hanging out with friends, but sometimes, these pictures can often be taken off guard and at unflattering angles that surely rake in a lot of profit for magazine outlets, but at what price for the celebrity? No matter how you dice it, it is clear that the main goal of the paparazzi is to invade others’ privacy at their expense. Many have been arrested on charges of trespassing assault, and some have even been linked to more serious accidents, such as car wrecks while attempting to get a shot for their respective news outlet. Hollywood’s notorious paparazzi have come under fire in recent years for the obsessive and intrusive tendencies that have them acting like tourists on a safari making the celebrities the wild animals. Sure, it’s a quick interesting read while waiting in line, but the story of how those headlines and pictures came to be snapped tells something different. Who can ignore the flashy headlines baiting with rumors surrounding your favorite celebs? Though most people know most of the headlines are fake, some still find joy in gossiping about the lives, and more specifically the looks, of these household names.

However, what may be most eye-catching next to that Hershey’s candy bar is the magazines.

The checkout lines at Super Markets are arguably one of the most distracting places in the world as last-minute buys of candy, chapstick, batteries, gum, mints, etc.
