BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Pop culture pin-cushion Lindsay Lohan recently posed on the cover of Radar magazine, brandishing a piston-hot Glock.
The headline? "It's war!" The target? The paparazzi.
Given that hostilities between celebrities and the media -- a relationship which Brad Pitt once compared to a blood feud -- have boiled over, what does Josh Hartnett (no stranger to having details of his personal life publicly dissected) think of journalism now that he's portrayed an ambitious reporter in Resurrecting the Champ?
"I had an intellectual understanding of the dog-eat-doggedness of this business," Hartnett says.
"But I didn't realize you could be put under such time constraints that you can end up making huge mistakes due to pressure from whoever runs the paper and trying to meet what their needs are -- day to day -- in order to make the paper interesting or relevant."
Hartnett, not surprisingly, prefers his gig.
Being a reporter, he concludes, "doesn't sound like much fun to me."
