Anny-Lee, however, does NOT hold a celebrity status, therefore, her face is blurred out to protect photographers/publishers from legal liability.

I wonder if the magazines that did publish Anny-Lee's pictures had Alizee's/Jeremy's permission to do so. Does anyone know if these magazines were reputable ones or tabloids?
That's not true. There's no special law for celebrities. Anyone out in public is fair game, and the paparazzi can shoot what they want. Just then, as I said, the person can sue them back, and more for each person shown. But some mags accept that risk. None have had permission to print these photos.
