Actress MARY-LOUISE PARKER feels sorry for ANGELINA JOLIE and BRAD PITT because of the "immoral" way their family is pursued by paparazzi wherever it goes.
Parker, who starred alongside Pitt in The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, is outraged that photographers feel it is acceptable to swarm around celebrities’ children.
She says, "I think it’s inhumane. The media’s gotten more and more salacious, they’re just ruthless.
"As people, I think it’s our duty to protect children at whatever cost and they really exploit the children of celebrities, especially their (Jolie and Pitt’s) children, at whatever cost to get a picture of them (sic).
"It feels really immoral to me. It’s not fair for them. I think they actually handle it well."

LATEST: PARIS HILTON’s brother BARRON accidentally ran over a gas station worker before he was stopped by police for driving under the influence, according to reports.

SYLVESTER STALLONE’s ex-wife BRIGITTE NIELSEN has become the latest celebrity to offer troubled BRITNEY SPEARS a safe haven away from Hollywood.
The actress is battling an alcohol problem that sent her to rehab last year (07) and insists she knows all about the pressures of fame.
Nielsen admits Spears reminds her a lot of herself when she was younger because she was a young, famous mum too.
She says, "When I was her age, I was a mother too. I was crazy. I had a lot of money. I had the paparazzi." And her best advice to Spears, who was released from a Los Angeles psychiatric hospital last week (06Feb08) after a six-day stay, is to find a place to hide.
Nielsen adds, "If you want, I live in Palm Desert (California). No one knows where I live. You can get my number. Come hang out with us."

SCARLETT JOHANSSON is upset her candid comments are often twisted to make her look like a slutty star.
The Lost In Translation actress feels "battered" every time she talks about sex and relationships - because the media always turn on her.
She says, "I’ve been battered for saying that I don’t believe humans are monogamous by nature. The response was, like, ‘What a ho-bag!’ "I didn’t mean that I don’t practice monogamy in my own life - of course I do! I’m not going to be in some tarty relationship. But I stick by what I said.
"I remember another time, I said I get tested for AIDS twice a year, and again that got spun as me being promiscuous. But I was single at the time, and I think it’s important to do that!"

DENISE RICHARDS’ dad is moving in with the actress to help her find a new husband and mourn the loss of her mother.
That’s the premise of the former Bond girl’s new U.S. reality TV series, which will debut later this year (08).
Dad Irv and the pretty mum-of-two have both been struggling with the loss of Richards’ mother, who died late last year (07) after a lengthy battle with cancer, so they’ve chosen to help each other by becoming housemates.
And while he’s living with his famous daughter, Irv Richards hopes to find the actress, who is single again after her marriage to Charlie Sheen and a romance with rocker Richie Sambora, a new man.
She says, "I’m single… I come with a lot of baggage… He wants to find me a husband… There’s gotta be some guys out there… Irv’s in charge this time.
"My dad’s going to be a big part of the show. (It’s about) my father moving into my chaos and he and I helping each other pick up the pieces." The show is a tribute to Richards’ late mother - because she was the one who urged the actress to sign up for the reality TV programme and show viewers the real Denise.
She adds, "We were negotiating this show when my mom was really sick and she was the one that really said you should do it.
"She passed away during negotiations, so I was committed because she really wanted me to do this show."
