How are paparazzi allowed to take pictures of stars?

I thought it was illegal to take pictures of someone and or videos without their consent. So why can parazzi?
hi there,
this is what we call a "grey" zone.
The "Paparazzi" aren’t allowed to take these pictures without consent, but at the other end of the spectrum — celebrities can’t do without the attention — "press/photo articles" in the popular magazines. Of course, like everywhere else, there are always guys that go way too far, and really invade the personal lives of stars and almost "stalk" them for that one picture that stands out. (mostly a non -flattering one).
They’re a sad bunch of people. Maybe – for now – there will be a short cooling off period, with the scandal in England and Murdoch’s "News of The World".
