"  Looks like the photogs at Star and Us Weekly might have to adopt new workplace strategies. According to the LA Times, a new bill written by democratic Assemblywoman Karen Bass is making its way through the Legislature this week, and it could put the kibosh on paparazzi dangerously speeding around LA streets for their next shot of Cameron Diaz, et al. The bill proposes major penalties, including possible jail time, for photographers caught driving recklessly in pursuit of celebrity footage.   While it seems like an easy bill to gather around, there is some opposition. According to the California Newspaper Publishers Association, normal traffic laws should suffice, and any added penalties targeted towards photographers violates their 1st Amendment rights.  What do you think about this controversial issue? We encourage you to weigh in.  Either way, it sounds like celebrity-focused photographers need to consider some new codes of conduct. Thankfully, not all celebrity photos need be life-threatening: ELLE readers can enjoy this shoot of our cover girl, fully approved by Ms. Roberts herself.  -Natalie Hormilla "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
