Malibu Mayor Pamela Ulich has asked Ken Starr (yes, that one) to draw up new city laws involving the paparazzi who work in the celebrity-filled city.

Her plan is to make “buffer zones” for photographers who follow celebs to the beach, she also wants to tax them. She is hoping that the cameramen will “think twice before shoving a camera in your face”.

There have been two situations this week where surfers chased the paparazzi off the beach where Matthew MCConaughey was surfing.

With the internet and paparazzi sites burning up the internet the problem has gotten progressively worse over the past few years.

Ulich hopes to help control the menacing problem.
