Some tribes, cultures, the Amish, believe that a photograph can steal the soul. Evidently Cameron Diaz agrees as she was recently spotted fleeing a New York department store with the paparazzi and their flashbulbs hot tailing it after her.

You have to feel sorry for young Cameron Diaz. Recently split from Justin Timberlake, and though no longer forced to endure his seizure dancing when Heroes is on the telly, she might well be feeling down in the dumps.

Despite having an alleged fling with surfer-fool Kelly Slater, there’s really nothing like a shopping trip to raise a girl’s spirits. Spend a few thousand dollars on stupid shoes, sign the odd autograph ‘for the kids’, eat a burger in the toilets, all the fun stuff. Cameron though, poor little lamb, she can’t go anywhere without those parasitical photographers following her around like sugared up toddlers. Damn you, free press!!

A source following Cameron’s unfortunate shopping trip reported:

“She was enjoying a peaceful day of shopping for some new summer dresses, jewellery and shoes when they surrounded her. Cameron totally freaked out, screamed and dropped the items she was going to buy and was chased through the store. She was running full speed.”

This “small army” of snappers played commando and choppered themselves into (read: snuck into) the Soho Lounge store where Cameron was shopping. They cornered her somewhere between ‘ladies secret things’ and ‘overpriced drek’ and papped away stripping her soul to the bone. Cameron then fled back to Millionaires’ Row to search for herself on upskirtdepanties.com and pray for forgiveness from The Immortal. Or text Justin Timberlake for a quickie, we don’t know. 

Tough day for being a movie star. Tomorrow: 'Robert Downey Jr: I Can't Even Buy Methamphetamines Without Someone Watching'.
