Embracing Paparazzi

Marcia Cross, Angelina and Other Celebs Who Put Their Kids in the Spotlight

— January 21, 2009 — Life-Stages
At 46, Marcia Cross is so proud to be a mom, she's never been afraid to let her twins girls, Eden and Savannah, bask in the media spotlight. Angelina Jolie happily flaunted Maddox for years, and now she and Brad share their limelight love with their little ones together.

Over the past few years ago, celebrity parents have been fighting the excessive paparazzi attention that has crowded not only their personal lives, but the lives of their children. They hid, they yelled, they ran, they disguised.

But now stars like Marcia Cross are realizing that if they don't fight the attention, they'll actually be able to lead a much calmer existence. Cross is often seen playing with her daughters, walking with them in the park, or simply running errands with them at her side.

A content mom playing with her kids is a boring tabloid story in comparison to a mother that lashes out, baring teeth, claws out (think angry Britney Spears or Reese Witherspoon.)

If more celebrities begin to have an attitude like Marcia Cross, will the paparazzi lose interest?
