We’ve all seen (and, let’s face it, enjoyed 
the pictures of celeb moms and their children in the park. Paparazzi attention is part of being a celebrity. For Uma Thurman’s and Minnie Driver’s new movie, ‘Motherhood,’ the paparazzi became such a pervasive influence that they got into a scene in the movie!
‘Motherhood’ director Katherine Dieckmann told E! Online’s Marc Malkin that watching the paparazzi hound celebrity moms at NYC parks inspired her to include a scene in the movie with that happening. Jodie Foster agreed to do a cameo as the celebrity being hounded by paps.
And true to life, the real paparazzi were hounding Uma and Minnie at the same time.
“One day, Minnie was queasy, it was hot out and these guys would not
leave her alone,” Dieckmann said. “She was so hormonal and started
screaming at them and then they starting snapping her. I stepped
between her and the paparazzi and go, ‘She’s pregnant!…Like f–king
be a human being for one second. They all left except for one guy, who
was like, ‘I just have to get my shot, man!’ “So Dieckmann struck a deal with him: “We actually let him be in that scene with Foster to leave Uma and Minnie alone.”
It worked.
“And then the night before [Foster's shoot], Jodie says to me, ‘You
know, if you want to write me a line, you can write me a line,’ “
Dieckmann remembered with a laugh. “I was like, ‘OK, I will write you a line.’ So I wrote her, ‘Go work in a soup kitchen, you f–king parasites!’ “
LOL! Who says film isn’t true to life?
Here’s a description of the film. Does it sound like something you want to see?

I’m digging the line she wrote for Foster.
On the other hand, I don’t feel right slamming the paparazzi. I mean, I am on sites like this seeing the fruits of their labor.
I don’t feel bad for them. There would still be pictures as the production companies hire photographers to take photos throughout the shoot. Trust the world would be a better place without the paps. And Diana would still be alive.
I didn’t say I feel bad for them. I said I don’t feel right slamming them. Every post on this site, and sites like it, doesn’t take place on a movie set. By reading celebrity gossip sites, we’re kind of keeping the paparazzi in business.
Keeping paparazzi in business is one thing, the other thing is not to condone their awful behavior, the way they are disrespectful to the people they make money off, endanger passersby, block sidewalks so that other people can’t use them. So slamming them is OK IMO until they stop being mean instead of just taking pics.
We condone their behavior every time we pick up a tabloid or read a gossip site. If we’re going to slam them then we need to slam ourselves for keeping them in business.
I didnt know she was starting in a movie with Minnie. I kindda like them working together is an interesting duo.
Sounds a lot of fun to me. I’l be watching this movie.
I like Uma’s pictures from the set, she looks great
Sounds like an interesting move…and I love Jodie Foster.
