Raven Symone shutting off Fans camera.

It IS rude to film someone without their consent.

---

More proof that people are more interested in documenting their lives rather than living their lives. (Because nothing happens if you can't prove it to the world via YouTube.)

---

That's very creepy but Raven should have probably just asked her to shut it off initially instead of shoving her hand by her camera as that can escalate quickly. Then again, fans really shouldn't just film celebrities or anyone for that matter without asking them.

---

You know who should shut off some fans? Beyonce.

---

That's so brazen.

---

People, you don't have a right to shoot or film anyone without their permission first.

That makes you papparazzi scum.

Proper etiquette is that you wait until your turn and then you ASK FIRST.

Actually, from a legal standpoint, you do have a right to film or photograph people in a public place with or without their permission. Basically, anything you can see from a public space with the naked eye (i.e. without using telescopic lenses, etc) is fair game.

Now, that doesn't mean it's polite or socially acceptable or, depending on the situation, un-creepy to film people who ask you not to. Like you might raise some eyebrows if you stand around filming kids playing in a public park. But it is legal. Just the old media law class creeping up on me. :)

^So why is she doing a Broadway show?

For $10, she'll lip-sync a Ray Charles song with Rudy and Vanessa!

I think she should be grateful that girl was there to film... proof that Raven does exist and does perform!!

In other news, this is how I see the future at the stage door:

"Stop filming video RIGHT NOW! Who do you think you are?!"

Perhaps she is Patti Lupones number one fan!

I kind of feel bad for some actors leaving stage door, they are in a no win situation. If they have to go somewhere in a hurry and don't stop to sign or pose, they are posted about on the internet as being ungrateful. If they do stop, they are subjected to people wanting autographs (I still do not understand what getting an autograph does for a person), having to pose with people who want to post the pic online for everyone to see or having to give the impression of not caring because they can't stay an hour to accomodate everyone.

However, Raven could have just asked for the video camera to be turned off. She is fast replacing Jeremy Piven as someone who does not seem to be suited to the stage life of an actor. I wonder if she's had her mercury count checked?
