中文词源
源自意大利名导演费利尼（Federico Fellini）1960年出品的电影《甜蜜的生活》（La Dolce Vita）影片主人公Paparazzo先生是位摄影记者，整日追踪上流社会丑闻，偷拍名人照片。该片在社会引起轰动。1968年英语将paparazzo一词直接借了过来，用作普通名词，指“追逐名人偷拍隐私照片的记者”，按意大利语，其复数形式为paparazzi，也被英语吸收了，而且在使用中比单数形式更常用，港台把它译为“狗仔队”，因为这些猎奇者往往是成群结队的。
Paparazzo在意大利语有没有什么特殊含义呢？据费利尼本人所述，在他家乡的方言中paparazzo指的是嗡嗡叫个不停的小飞虫（buzzing insect）。他小时候和他同桌的一个同学说起话来很快，叽里咕噜，老师叫他Paparazzo。费利尼在写《甜蜜的生活》的剧本时，想起这个绰号，便给主人公起了这样一个名字。
1997年威尔士王妃戴安娜之死令这些paparazzi的名声急剧下降，因为这些人一直追踪她，使她无法过自己的生活。有人甚而认为这些paparazzi在巴黎对戴安娜王妃的车紧追不舍是造成她死亡的原因。
