More than two-thirds of Hawaii's state senators have signed onto a bill to protect celebrities from paparazzi, giving famous faces power to sue over unwanted beach photos and other snapshots on the islands.
And the bill's author says he's pushing the law at the request of Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler.
A representative for Aerosmith declined immediate comment Thursday night, saying Tyler was not immediately available.

I was just thinking that, myself.
If people want to take a picture of Frankie Avalon and he says it is an invasion of his privacy, would his complaint get the same consideration as Beyonce's complaint?
Orthodoxy SUCKS.

I would guess that is applies to anyone with the name of 0bama or Dunham.
