No pap pics means NO pap pics - We are taking a stand

A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.

After last weekend's Rob "hunting" expedition by the paparazzi we made it our policy to be a pap-free site. After more pictures emerged of a clearly unhappy Rob from the set of Water For Elephants, that were, again, taken by the paparazzi we expanded our policy to be COMPLETELY PAP FREE. Apparently there is some confusion as to what we mean because we continue to get emails asking us to post PAPARAZZI pics. So, to clarify:

• NO pictures of ANY of the cast taken by paparazzi - PERIOD. Official and professional pictures only.
• NO videos that include pictures or footage taken by the paparazzi.
• NO manips, wallpapers, etc. made using paparazzi pics.

Yes, we love Rob. But most importantly, we respect him and the rest of the cast. Us seeing Rob taking a drink from a coke bottle or landing in an airport are not going to make or break our day. For all they give to us, we should give them something they have very little of, privacy and respect. They are not animals in a zoo and don't OWE us the right to invade their lives.

As part of this policy, we will be removing previous posts that include paparazzi pictures. This will take some time but is part of our commitment.

We hope you follow our blog because you like what we do and what we share but to us it is not about Quantity, but Quality. We try to be a quality blog that is not hypocritical of what we say or do and try to give the cast the same respect that every human being deserves. If you support that then please let others know that our site is a COMPLETELY PAP FREE SITE and show Rob and the rest of the cast that you can make it through the day without knowing what he had for breakfast or where he slept.

There are blogs that are asking "fans" to stalk the stars and report back with pictures and locations and we don't think this is any different than the paparazzi. If you are a fan and you happen to be where the cast are, respect them and don't post or tweet or facebook pictures or locations that invade their privacy. Fan pics are one thing, but if you hunt them down, you are no different than the paparazzi. If you want paparazzi pictures or videos we are certain you can find them, but you will not find them here.

Thanks for your love and support of Rob, the cast and our blog.
