Paris Hilton possibly giving the finger to photographersParis Hilton has offered advice to fellow paparazzi-stalked celebrities such as Britney Spears.

Paris told The View that she sympathizes with Britney’s anger at the photographer and the media in general but the best way to deal with them is to be polite.

“[The paparazzi] annoy me, too. I can understand going to a press event or a premiere that’s fine, they’re there, but when they’re waiting outside your home every morning and following you around every single day it’s hard.”

“I’d rather them just take pictures at events, not at my house.

“I think it’s better just to smile than when people give the middle finger or are rude to them, because that’s what they want you to do. They want to get a bad picture.”

(Of course, she’s not giving the finger in the picture… She’s just untangling her hair…)
