I'm a Rodgers fan and I'm not saying Rodgers shouldn't have said what he said, but it should be noted that TMZ fires any of its videographers who stalk, chase (via car) or harass celebrities. (Pointing a camera at a celebrity and asking questions about the news does not constitute harassment)
TMZ, after all, is owned by a big studio, Warner Bros, and they don't want to deal with lawsuits and upset stars.
Plus, TMZ has a good relationship with most celebrities. Many, including Adrian Peterson (see below), even visit TMZ headquarters.
What TMZ does is they station their paparazzi at hotspots around L.A. to ask celebrities questions.
Aaron knew full well that by going to a hotspot he'd be photographed. There are many, many, many clubs around L.A. that don't have TMZ stationed in front of them.
As for getting a real job, well, a job is a job, especially in this economy.
And while I wouldn't do it, I'm sure being a member of the paparazzi is probably more interesting than your standard boring desk job or flipping burgers.
