White House Bans Paparazzo Images of Sasha and Malia on the Beach



A paparazzo who took photographs of the daughters of President Barack Obama walking along a Hawaiian beach last week made a big mistake — at least, in the eyes of the Oval Office.

Ironically, the man was waiting for pregnant Hollywood star Jessica Simpson to leave her Kailua Beach retreat in Honolulu County when the Presidential sisters, vacationing with their famous parents in an adjacent property since Dec. 21, came walking-by.

"After he took the photographs, agents from the United States Secret Service came over and asked him for identification," according to a source who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Celebuzz has chosen not to name the photographer."They were nice enough to him and didn't seize his camera equipment.

"But when he sent the photographs out via the agency's wire, he received a letter, on a White House letterhead, requesting that the images not be released." The letter was from the White House Press Office, the source added. "It stated that Sasha and Malia's privacy should be maintained as they were on a private holiday," the insider told Celebuzz. "The letter said that other media had been respecting these requirements."

exactly, I don't think it's right it's only them because they're the president's daughters

that was my gut reaction based on the title of the post (i.e. "banned"), but if it was truly a request, then it seems more reasonable to me. most celeb children don't have to worry about hordes of politically/racially motivated wackos and/or terrorists.

I agree.
I'm glad they apparently do it for the royal family in the Netherlands.
At least they get some kind of life and can relax without being terrified of getting recorded.

Siri has all of Apple's special forces behind her. I think she'll be okay.
