16 Celebrities Who Won't Take Photos with Their Fans
Social media culture is starting a trend where famous people no longer want to take photos with fans . . . because it's become more about bragging rights on Instagram than about sharing a moment.
JIM CARREY is the latest. He sayshe flat out refuses to take photos with people now, and he doesn't feel bad about it.
Quote, "I don't feel there's a pressing responsibility to please everyone. I'm not unkind to people, but I'd much prefer saying 'hello,' and 'who are you,' and 'what are you doing today?,' to giving a selfie. Because selfies stop life . . .
"It's [just] going on Instagram to give people a false sense of relevance. Everybody was so gaga about Steve Jobs, but I picture him in hell, running from demons who want a selfie."
