    The pesky paparazzi strikes again!

    An unfortunate side effect of being a celebrity is being followed around by the paparazzi everywhere you go.

    Ashlee Simpson is no different, as you'll see below in the following seven photos.

    Step one: Blissful ignorance.

    Step two: Slight realization of the sound of cameras clicking away.

    Step three: Look to confirm the status of said photographers.

    Step four: Realize they're there, already taking your photo in front of the Marlboros, Parliaments, and 5-Hour Energy supply.

    Step five: Have vivid visions of this photo being front and center in a "Stars! They're Just Like Us!" feature.

    Step six: Front. And. Center.

    Step seven: Say to your friend, "Can you believe that?" and then carry on with your life.
