The papparazi, the tabloids, and the shows influenced by them - inside Edition, Extra, even the morning talkers to a degree - are the ones who do the stalking and piling on, the incessant coverage before shifting to a new target. The journalists who cover pro sports in depth know these guys pretty well, and they are somewhat inclined to let their friends have a pass now and then - and they check facts as a matter of course, and have enough class so as not to follow folks into the toilet.
The "stalkerazzi" are waiting in the stall next door, hoping to leap over the partition and grab a shot. And they feed on the desire - as expressed by a poster here - to take anyone in the public eye down a peg.
