How much would you pay for a snapshot of Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn doing nothing? Some magazines might fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars. Are they insane? Or merely feeding an insatiable public appetite for celebrity surveillance? “CNN Presents: Chasing Angelina – Paparazzi and Celebrity Obsession” (7 p.m. today, CNN) doesn’t so much answer these questions as offer an insider’s meditation on the current state of celebrity media. It’s “Access Hollywood” passing as news.

We see rabid, reckless freelance photographers swarm over stars and starlets, turning every day into The Day of the Locusts. Star seekers bribe hotel doormen, maids, clerks at airports and even the Department of Motor Vehicles to get the lowdown on celebrity license plates and flight plans.

After some eager photographers caused car crashes, some people, including Aniston, argue that paparazzi behavior has morphed from an invasion of privacy to a genuine public-safety issue. On the other hand, the much-hounded Lindsay Lohan admits that she’d be alarmed if they ever stopped following her. Several People magazine editors claim that they don’t trade in tawdry photos and “mean” gossip like their emerging competition on the newsstand and the Web. For the record, the same media giant owns both People and CNN.
