Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale knows best how to handle maddening Paparazzi. She stays calm by simply ignoring them. The British actress presently stays with her family in Los Angeles. She said that her daughter Lily who is nine has adopted Kate’s path of ignoring paparazzi photographers who mob them without any reason. She is constantly photographed whenever she steps out.

Kate used to be sick and tired of the Press following her all the time. But she has outgrown the hatred and taken a right stand of ignoring them. “I just think, they’re going to wait at the bottom of your road and follow you places. Hopefully you’re not doing anything so spectacularly interesting like having your pants fall down, because that kind of thing tends to attract attention. It’s a part of the job that I tend not to think about that much,” Beckinsale revealed. She also said that her being of British origin keeps her reserved as a stone. She is never annoyed or showy of her temper when the snappers shoot her all the time.

She added : “Maybe it’s a British thing. I sort of adopt a victim mentality in that I can’t do anything about it so it’s pointless throwing things and shouting…”

She sounded surprised at her daughter’s behavioural shift when she confronted the snappers. Kate revealed how her nine year old tot had grown accustomed to snappers’ constant snapping ! Kate added : “It’s weird that my daughter’s got used to it. We tend to have a group of people following us when we do our Christmas shopping or something but we’ve all got quite good at blocking it out and pretending it’s not happening.” Lily, the tot has maintained her her mother’s mentality of ignoring the press.

Keanu Reeves

A jury has said that actor Keanu Reeves doesn’t rest on anything to a paparazzo who litigated him, claiming that Reeves was responsible for the paparazzi photographer’s alleged injuries. Alison Silva, the photographer, sued the actor who acted in films such as The Matrix, Speed and Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, for an incident in March 2007. Reeves was accused of striking  Silva with his Porsche, causing him to fall and injure his left wrist.

Silva had claimed an alimony of a sum of US$711,974 from Reeves to the jury. This money includes medical bills, lost wages and punitive damages. While  Silva was interrogated by the jury for the past 5 days, time and again he had given contradictory statements about what exactly happened on the day of the accident. He even presented a video of Keanu Reeves, which he claims to have shot with his injured hand.

The closing arguments were issues by the attorneys for both the sides on Friday.  They considered about five minutes and left for the weekend. The juries again resumed their work on Monday morning. The panel of jury were an eminent Hollywood bunch, one claiming to be an animator for The Simpsons, while the other works as a coordinator of movie filming in public parks.

Reeves was seen in the  courtroom throughout the legal proceeding. He would be seen starring in his upcoming remake of  “ The Day the Earth Stood Still”.
