Paparazzo Arrested for Stalking Jamie Lynn Spears
Here's the difference between living in Hollywood and, well, not. An overly-aggressive photographer was arrested in Mississippi yesterday, after being accused of stalking Jamie Lynn Spears.
Police in the small town of Liberty say that Edwin W. Merino wouldn't leave the pregnant star and her fiancé, Casey Aldridge, alone -- a claim which he denied in an interview with the AP. The pap said he said that he was about 200 feet away from the couple, using a long lens, when he was arrested at a gas station. Poor guy says he didn't even get anything really good.
"The one picture I got was kind of by luck," he said. "I got lucky when I saw them at Wal-Mart when I was buying deodorant."
Merino posted bail for himself and was heading back to California, where he would be free to chase stars' cars, camp out on their front lawns, and snap shots of them sunbathing topless.

People can say what they want about this girl, but I respect that she sticks to her roots.

Took the words right out of my mouth!!!! Maybe other celebrities can learn something from this!

Stick to her roots???? What does that mean....because she is pregnant and back in Mississippi?
I respect the fact that she wants to be close to her family at this time but she knows that whether the world "should or should not" care about her pregnancy....THE MEDIA does!!! and after the jobs she has had and her older sister's dilema's I think that Jamie has already seen the devastating effects of Hollywood and she is probably just trying to escape the very life that her parents wanted so bad for her and Britt.
lets hope the more celebraties start pressing charges! good for her!
it's one thing to be out taking pic's of celebs, it's another to chase them down the street, or shopping etc.........
lisa: your old stupid a** is still coming here? Shoo fly!
I say solitary for 2 wks per each photographer who is convicted of stalking a celeb. After being in the hole for a couple of weeks they'll be a lot more careful about how far they go. I'm glad Jamie Lynn is staying home and not going to live in la la land.
I was wondering about the same thing, why Hollywood does not have any stricter laws concerning privacy, but apparently none of the celebs mind, or most don't, otherwise they surely would have tried to initiate a change in public thinking and started a debate to have the laws revised.
And I think if someone clearly does not want to be photographed, like Jessica Alba, when she's in her backyard, or Jamie Lynn, when she's moved away from California, then the press should respect that.
