Honestly, I'm not surprised. People, including fans and people who claim to be them will do almost anything to make money or prove that they were "the first" to know such information. Take Star Wars for example, after the first movie was a big hit, people tried to visit sets and spy to find information to leak to the media, presumably for cash. Mark Hamil has admitted that even he did not know that Darth Vader was Luke's father until five minutes before the scene was shot.
These "bad" fangirls seem to be growing bolder, one of them grabbed Tim McGraw's package at a concert while his wife was present. She gets kudos for keeping her cool so that charges can be filed against the real bad guy in that case.
I tend to agree with swordage and dragyn. I think the paparazzis' poor behavior just encourages fans to behave poorly around celebrities. They won't get any respect or common decency in regards to privacy, except from the few of us who realize that they are just normal people trying to make a living doing something they enjoy, until the government and the legal system recognize the threat paparazzi pose, and the right all indiviuals have to privacy (privacy is only a privilage if you are under 18 and live with your parents, in my opinion)
I would be absolutely mortified if anyone outside any of the fandoms I write read anything I'd written, adult content or no, so I can't understand why anybody would voluntarily give them anything.
