Title: John on TMZ.com
Post by Shannon on Jun 18^th, 2008, 3:52pm

I finally got my internet connection fixed and I was poking around on TMZ.com and found they spotted John at the airport. Could they ask stupider questions? No wonder celebrities always seem so annoyed.

LOL...poor John. I like how he asked the guy if it was a "slow day" and he didn't even catch on...

Everything about the video/heading on TMZ is amazing.

John's just minding his business in the airport, and he gets chased down by loser TMZ people. He's perfectly polite and answers their stupid questions and is completely humble ('visiting friends' rather than going to receive an award). So what does TMZ do? They put up an unflattering screen shot and freak out because he's had the nerve to age over the last 10 years.

I agree. Look at this bullcrap!

Quote:

The lead singer of The Goo Goo Dolls was a major pretty boy back in the heyday...after seeing him sans makeup yesterday at LAX, it's clear that it was 10 years ago.

Now, I will say he's not looking his very best, but I still think he looks pretty cute here. I have SEEN him look bad, and this ain't it. And, yes, that was ten years ago. I bet YOU don't look as good as you did ten years ago. Plus, he's just a normal guy, taking a flight; why do celebrities have to look amazing all the time?

I have to admit it, I laughed when I read the description. It's just too stupid. And the title? Oh goodness, childish much?

I agree.
But then again, "Oh no, he doesn't look like he did 10 years ago, let's poke fun at him!" is hardly the formula of good tv anyway.

I shudder to think what kinds of headlines I'd make if someone were to interview me after a flight .... lol

I too think it's ridiculous to expect celebrities to look like they're on the red carpet all the time. Good grief that's not real life. Most of the time I prefer the real pictures to the red carpet ones where they're over done.

They should be grateful John was nice to them and played along. He could have tried to punch them like some other celebrities do.

After seeing that video I can understand how celebrities get frustrated with the tabloid media. It's ridiculous.

Ouch.

I thought that was a really unflattering screen shot of him, but he just got off a flight for goodness sake ... who looks good after flying across the country?

Even more so, it makes me kinda sad that Johnny has reached the status where he can be stalked by the ~~scumbags~~, uh, reporters at TMZ.com. He's already known to be rather shy off the stage, and now he's got these idiots following him around, just hoping to catch him looking like shit so they can rag on him about it? Gimme a break. ::)

They apparently had to stretch a bit to get something even remotely negative about him...he was perfectly polite to the Paparazzi.

he looked better than I ever have at the airport! They got nothin' on him...They're just looking for a quick buck.

I agree that TMZ were jerks to John.
