California Govenor Arnold Schwarzengger has put pen to paper on a new bill that should make it easier to sue media outlets using intrusive photos taken of celebrities by paparazzi.

A statement issued Monday says the former “Terminator” star had signed a number of bills, including the amendment to a decade-old law that allows fines against paparazzi who illegally or offensively take photos or recordings.

The amendment permits lawsuits against media outlets that pay for and make first use of material they knew was improperly obtained.

Tabloid magazines, TV shows and Internet sites sometimes pay millions of dollars for celebrity fodder.
