Reverse Spam? Poisoning the Well?
George Clooney
suggests a way
to neutralize celebrity stalker websites:
“There is a simple way to render these guys useless,” Clooney advised […]
“Flood their Web site with bogus sightings. Get your clients to get 10 friends to text in fake sightings of any number of stars. A couple hundred conflicting sightings and this Web site is worthless. No need to try to create new laws to restrict free speech. Just make them useless.

While I appreciate the sentiment, and wouldn’t want to be hounded by paparazzi, this reminds me a bit too much of spam.
