Slang
This is meant to be a cover line on a gossip magazine from 1966 (for an art project). The picture is of a male celebrity chasing down a paparazzi as his female lover cowers in the background. Please be creative - it is not necessary to match the English exactly but important to capture the gossip magazine style. It is a plus (but not essential) if the French translation could be understood by an English speaker. The pictures can be seen here:
