A Photographer Was Killed Trying To Get A Pic Of Justin Bieber's Ferrari

And that stoned lesbian woodland creature wasn't even in it. This is a shame. TMZ reports that a paparazzi photographer was struck by a car and killed yesterday while trying to get a shot of Justin Bieber's white Ferrari after it was pulled over by the LAPD.

Bieber's car was being driven by a friend of his and cops had pulled it over on Sepulveda Blvd. The so-far unnamed pap had been following the dickmobile in his own car, pulled up near them, and got out to get a shot. The officers involved had told him to move it along for safety reasons right before he was killed.

The owner of the car that struck the guy wasn't on drugs or alcohol at the time.

I can't think of a more depressing death. Google Images gives ya plenty of shots of that car, and him in it. Just use one of those. Same situation, different hat maybe. THE MINISCULE DOUCHE WASN'T EVEN IN THE CAR.

I feel sorry for that guy but this should be listed the top most silly useless deaths. Most traffic accidents are dangerous, I learned my lesson a long time ago when another person saved my life pulling me out of the front of a speeding car.

You sound like the people who try to make me care about politics, or whatever war is going on at the moment, but guess what?! I am a member of the Not Many Fucks Given Coalition, and I simply do not give half a fuck over the guy who was killed while attempting to photograph a person on the road, not even a residential (not that it makes it better) road.

Oh, lawyers are already linin' up to file suit against everyone involved: Bieber, the CHP, the drivers of both cars, etc. The CHP pulled the Ferrari over on the 405, then escorted it onto Sepulveda. The pap's heirs are going to say that was negligent. Etc., etc. Insurers often pay up just to be done with it, especially where, as here, the dead guy's heirs could collect a bundle if it hits.

In an unrelated incident at 3 am on the morning of Jan. 1st, a drunk guy on PCH in the Palisades was hit and killed as he staggered home from a rave. The guy who hit him was sober but unlicensed. The police questioned the driver, then let him go. How is that possible? If he wasn't driving unlicensed, he wouldn't have killed the drunk guy.

I know people are probably saying it for comic relief, but if people's actual response is " Justin Beiber is always the jerk, the douche, to blame" for shit, even when it's not his fault, then you are FUCKING STUPID...truly, fucking STUPID...and doubly annoying for making me defend this turd wad...There I said it! People are accountable for their own FUCKING actions, his pap friend tried to use the " Beebs is partially to blame because he is known for driving wreckless which made homeboy anxious to get proof" GET FUCKED! It's the paps fault. END OF

The only thing important about this story is that Selena Gomez is safe.

Happy New Year, Selena!

Everybody CTFD, This was just a tragic accident. All of us have gotten flustered - esp when we were younger probably- and done something without thinking or gotten excited and done something stupid or dangerous. There's no moral story here or laws that need to be made or any other underlying statement. It's just a tragic accident that happened.

First, RIP to the man who lost his life and condolences to his family/friends.

Second, I also feel sorry for the person that hit and killed him.

Third, perhaps we need some stronger pap stalking laws in this country, like some that countries in parts of Europe have made.

This dude/dudette was doing their job. Right, wrong or however stupid in this moment he/she was, perhaps this was a money shot that would pay his rent, car payment, etc., or so they thought.

The public's fascination with celebrities' private lives is certainly part of this equation, however, I don't think most of us would want the paps to be in harm's way to get a shot of Biebs smoking a bowl while driving.

I feel bad for the photographer's family. But how easy is it to look both ways before crossing a street? How many times have paparazzi have been killed by being run over while crossing the street? We can't ignore the fact that most of them manage to stay alive. The guy was an idiot. Survival of the fittest. And the smartest.
......

Ditto.
Also, that stretch of Sepulveda is 8 lanes wide for a reason, the traffic through there is just like a freeway. You risk your life walking there for sure, it's just common sense.

That's a terrible, others could have been hurt. They really should do something about dangerous driving for pap photos. Really. And LezBeave is still a douche.

fuck off with your wanna be santimony. read the additional details provided by Texn Doc or elsewhere. this man is not dead because he chose to make a living providing fodder for gossip media. he's dead because he's a dumb fuck who did not have the common sense not to run across a fucking freeway where people drive 85 miles an hour, even after the cops told his dumb ass not to. as if a grown ass man should have to be told not to run across a fucking freeway

fuck you and him.

surprise surprise somebody was injured because the paparazzi didn't listen to police and broke the law again. My boyfriend lives a block off Sepulveda and is a constantly busy street and anybody who got out of their car in the middle of it is asking for it.

i speak for everyone. right or wrong, that's what i do. it gives me great power and leeway as i type. it makes my opinions bolder and more forceful. being self righteous is a blast. if i could take hostages, i would. full nelson all of ya until you agreed. i'd also be a dictator if i could. i'd be pretty good at it.
that said, you feel bad for the photographer and sorry that you screamed "fuck you" at the blogger who insinuated we are responsible for the photographer not watching his step. right now, you feel bad that you said "speak for yourself" and will now commence to parting your hair on the left.
i said it and so shall it be.

i think some are brain-warshed into feeling sympathy for celebs having their pics taken ... calm yourselves, you are not a celebrity and you are not getting paid the big bucks they do -and those bigs bucks are paid because they become FAIR GAME.

you don't and you probably work a billion times harder and get no fucking recognition for it, public or otherwise.
the photographer was one of us, trying to make a buck. he fucked up. royally.

To play devil's advocate: Paps wouldn't even be needed if it wasn't for blogs like this and for people like us.....admit it: We're the problem.

If we were teh problem, we could fix it. Go offline for the rest of your life and I will too and it wont fix shit. Scumbags chasing easy money aren't my fault and in fact pre-date my entire existence and yours too.

Um, first of all, the author mentioned several times how sad it was. Do we need a tag to describe how to feel? Secondly, speaking of 'moral superiority', why are you here? Maybe it's to get traffic to your blog. Please, go sit down in the corner. I hate when people try to show how high ground they are by pointing out hypocrisy in others. Before you do that, make sure your little glass house is squeaky clean.

I read a more detailed account of this: the photographer actually stopped his car on one side of the 405, ran across traffic to shoot pictures, was told "more than once by cops" to get the hell away, and was killed trying to cross it the other way. Now his family and friends are claiming he was no paparazzo! Probably because they're planning a suit against the cop. Oh that poor young man.

Sorry the pap died. Sorry he was making a living pursuing Justin Bieber.
And yes, we're on a celebrity website that benefits from the paps.
But then I think of Princess Diana being photographed as she was dying from injuries incurred in an accident trying to escape the paps.

Really? Lack of a tag creeps you out? MK didn't write this post. Perhaps his guest blogger isn't entirely familiar with all of the tags. Even then, do any of us need a tag at the end of a post to tell us how we should feel?

IDK, i kinda look at Paparazzi as any other job. Not one that I would pick, but it sounds like its easy money. I wouldnt snark if a constructionworker fell of a building, so i wont snark here, either. Snarking on dead people has bad Karma written all over it.

Normally I'd agree, but I think the pap's surpass his doucheyness.

Also to the people saying we egg the paps to do this. BULLSHIT and FUCK YOU!

I don't pay these people to go and invade other's privacy, I don't even pay to come on Dlisted nor do I buy gossip rags. Also, a lot of blogs recirculate they see from different blogs, hints they have links to the story they are from. I am so sick of the "non accountability" mentality. This motherfucker is dead because he was a wreckless douchebag, not because people come to a website to snark on what a coked up mess Lohan is. He was an adult, he chose the career he was in, and he chose to stand in traffic EVEN when the authorties told him to get the hell out of there, all to get a pic of the beevs gettin high? That's like saying stores are responsible for the meth problem because they sell cold medicine. If you wanna blame it on something other than this dude's poor judgement skills, blame it on GREED!
