Ryan Phillippe Uses Paps for Publicity

The paparazzi can be pesky, intrusive, and sleazy--but If you can't beat 'em, join 'em right? Instead of getting pissed off about the paps following his every move, Ryan Phillippe has found a way to use them for his advantage.

Phillippe has started wearing t-shirts with the website addresses of various charities he's involved with, so when the pictures appear online and in magazines, the charity gets free publicity worldwide.

He says, "These pictures go around the world and untold numbers of people see them. One organization told me their web hits went up 2,000% overnight after one such image was syndicated."

Way to go Ryan, let's get some more celebs on this bandwagon!
