LOS ANGELES — In a move that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood’s carefully curated image empire, the newly minted Federal Department of Celebrity Lifestyle Compliance (FDCLC) opened its offices Tuesday with a 47-page application package that Hollywood’s biggest names are now required to submit before their next paparazzi encounter.

Kim Kardashian was denied a media pass for “Improper positioning of body during paparazzi flash photography” according to new Section 304 of the Celebrity Image Protection Act.
