...sons don't have her, and part of the blame has to be placed squarely on the lunacy of publications paying exorbitant amounts for whatever the paparazzi can get by whatever means.

If the publications don't buy, the photographers won't shoot. Steve Coz, editor of the National Enquirer, says he swore off overly aggressive photographers a year ago when he saw the scrum that formed...
MOSCOW: Maybe it's not all their fault. As the finger-pointing continues over June's collision between a cargo ship and Mir's Spektr module, a panel of top Russian space officials said that ground controllers must share some of the blame with cosmonauts Vasily Tsibliyev and Alexander Lazutkin.

"Factories do not operate, and parts have not been delivered," he said. At week's end Tsibliyev was at least partly vindicated when Russian space officials admitted the computer breakdown was caused by an aging component that had not been replaced...
