where do these celebrity blogs get their pictures?
 

there are a ton of them out there, some huge ones like tmz and perez, and tons and tons of smaller ones

just curious where and how they get the images for their sites? do they pay for rights or is there a free source of promotional material being released? or do they just fly by the seat of the pants and not ask, or is there a legal out if you use (borrow/steal) pictures for news?

how do they do it?

here is an example I just picked out of many:

celebrity stalkers lol

mmm, don't know to tell you the truth, they must have some good sources...

nah, they just know which boards to visit, that's all :)

the few huge ones are all legit - they pay for the pics/own copyright etc, the rest steal the pics - plain and simple

tmz has HUNDREDS of photographers all around the world that take pics for them

perez just steals from places like tmz, haha

perez steals everything

btw, all those paparazzi you see surrounding celebs are all pretty much freelance, they take their pics/video and then sell to the highest bidder

so, when you hear a place say "tmz cameras just happened to be on hand for...." it means tmz got offered some exclusive footage and bought it, so they can claim it was "their" photographer on hand

so don't the attorneys for tmz jump on any other site that uses their exclusives?

ever typed in perez hilton lawsuit into google? hahaha
