There are a few ways I've found to deal with paparazzi.
1. Get a dog, and develop your sim's skills enough that they can sic the dog on them. This works every bit as well as one might imagine.
2. If you are a spellcaster, turning them into inanimate objects works nicely. The paparazzi will be very uncomfortable and quickly leave the lot once they return to "normal." The Spectral Reach perk makes this even more convenient.
3. For vampires, paparazzi are a convenient source of snacks, rather than a nuisance. They do not have the common sense to avoid registered vampire lairs.
4. If you have a teen in the household, just have them do their homework, and ask the paparazzi for homework help. By the time Extra Credit is done, the paparazzi will be good and ready to leave, and it frees up the adults to do other things. Does not work as well with child sims, as their homework takes far less time, and they have no Extra Credit option.
5. Provided there are no underage sims on the lot, if you get a pararazzi who is Squeamish or a Snob, it's possible to drive them off by insisting on interacting with them in the nude. (This takes a bit of time, but it's probably the funniest way of getting rid of them.) Being Shameless is a good idea if you're going to do this, or you may end up as Embarassed as they are if they decide to photograph you.
6. Werewolves can simply terrorize them with ferocious howls, and they'll decide to go home fairly quickly.
