Jennifer Lopez Running From the Paparazzi  4/12/05

Jennifer Lopez sparked a security alert at a weekend (08-10APR05) press conference in Los Angeles after paparazzi raced through Beverly Hills trying to get a glimpse of the star.

Lopez was in town to promote her new film Monster-in-Law, and was terrified when she became the target of a mad driver.

She says, "They were following us and we almost got into a car accident. I'm astounded by the aggressiveness. It's just getting worse and worse.

"They (paparazzi) feel like it's a game, like they're playing cops and robbers and they're spies. It's crazy. I was talking to my assistant and all of a sudden my driver was taking a left right by the police station in Beverly Hills.

"All of a sudden this car goes right in front of us. It was paparazzi trying to beat the light on the same turn with us. I got goose pimples.

"I didn't realize we were being pursued because I try to block this stuff out. It's the only way to live. You don't want to think about being stalked all the time."

To make sure Lopez's nightmare ended there, publicists handed out pink wristbands to invited press and refused entry to the press conference to anyone who didn't have one.
