Out of Sight Media - A Day in the Life of the Paparazzi!

I arrived at the field at around 1:30 PM in preparation for the TomKat arrival. I knew that the game was going to start around 2:35 PM, because I am very smart. I looked around and I noticed a few familiar faces along with some new faces. Others were trickling in after I arrived. Soon there were plenty of us for a fun day at the park.

It was about 2:30 PM or so and Isabella had already warmed up. Her team was getting ready for the game. TomKat’s Head Security tells us that they are going to be arriving in about 5 minutes and that if we could be polite and not trample on each other, the people around the park, and especially on TomKat. We ar all professionals and we all agreed.

The black SUV makes a left onto the street and pulls into the driveway of the park entrance. Everyone is now excited and ready to hose. The SUV parks right in front of the pack and we start to wait for the door to open. After a few minutes, Tom Cruise walks out of the SUV alone. We follow him to the park bathroom and there we wait again for him to come out. After a minute or two, he comes out and the pack starts to hose him again. He was now heading to the fenced in soccer field. There was a security guard there so none of us could go in.

We all head to the other side of the park and the long, long, long lenses came out. Some of these guys where shooting with 500 mm with doublers. I was shooting at 300 mm with doublers. I was still able to knock off a couple of frames. I was getting bored and I decided that I was going to go back to the entrance around the park where I first started. Once I got there, I spotted Katie Holmes making a grand entrance. It was almost as if I had planned it. She smiled at me almost as if she was checking me out. j/k. I got a couple of frames as she entered the fenced in soccer field.

Now I had to run back to the other side of the park again to get shots of the couple together. I think I ended up getting over 400 shots of the couple.

The game was over. I ran back again to the other side. Luckily, TomKat were walking slow as they were being chatty with some of the other parents. After all, they have to pretend that they care for them. They need good press and that is why we were all there.

TomKat comes out and it was chaos all over again. Well, to close this story up, TomKat got in their blacked-out SUV and they left. No one followed!

I want to show you in a day or two a video of Matthew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong riding their bikes, so first I need to tell you about the day that The Ninja and myself hosed them on July 7, 2006.

We knew where Lance and Matthew were staying that night because The Ninja had spotted Matthew and Lance the night before at some club. While he spotted them, I was probably dreaming about starting a blog that was going to change the perspective and view people have of paparazzi. The Ninja was on a long follow all the way to Malibu.

The Ninja calls me on my Pap phone at around 7:30 AM. Now that is the earliest that I have ever woken up, especially to answer my Pap phone. I knew that it was important because he hasn’t started work that early since I have known him. He tells me, “Dude, do you want to work on Matthew and Lance? I know where they are at!” I said, ’sure’.

A few minutes later, I was on my way to Malibu. I got to the house at around 8:30 AM. I was surprised that a few Paps were already on standby. I parked and began to wait. This is the only doorstep that I have ever done since I became a freelance a few years ago. I hate waiting. I knew that The Ninja was going to be a little late since he lived further than I did.

With his impeccable luck, once The Ninja shows up, Matthew comes out the door with a bike in his hand. He did a little stretching just before Lance comes out with another bike. They started to set up their bikes on this SUV and soon, they head northbound on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway, for those that don’t know).

They get to their destination about twenty minutes later and they came out to chat with all of us. Matthew says to us… “Ok, you guys can take pictures as long as you guys don’t block our way.” All the paparazzi agreed and Matthew and Lance gave us the shots.

To be continued…

I might as well take credit for the shots that were taken by every celeb blogger in the world a few weeks ago. Ok… Here is the real story of that evening of the wet-spot.

It was July 5th and I was heading southbound on Doheny Drive when I spotted Carmen Electra heading the opposite direction. I made a U-turn and I started the follow. I was alone so I was keeping my distance. She gets to Sunset Blvd. and makes a right. I was just glad that she didn’t make a left since that would mean that she was heading home.

We were passing all the hotspots like the Coffee Bean, some eateries like Il Sole and Cafe Med, and finally she makes a left into an underground parking lot right under Sunset Tan. I continued a little bit forward to the next driveway and I entered the street level parking and I found a spot in the Handicap Zone.

I was hoping that Carmen would walk upstairs instead of taking the elevator to the second floor of the open building, but she didn’t. The next moment, I see her entering the tanning salon. I get my camera and I run up two flights of stairs and down to the salon. I looked inside and I spotted Carmen talking to the clerk. Without thinking I started to shoot. I knocked off a couple of frames before she noticed me. Once she spotted me, she turns around and walks to the back of the tanning salon.

It wasn’t until I was home that I noticed the ever-present wet spot on her bum. I also noticed that she was either scratching or just holding her crotch. I was so happy because I got the money shot. The next day, it was on every blog in the world. They didn’t even give me credit. Oh well, I wish I had this website back then so that I could have brought you the story first.

My Pap Alert starts going off the hook. I finally answered the call and the voice on the other end tells me, “Go to Robertson Blvd. Gabrielle Solis is getting her wig chopped again. She is at Ken Paves new salon.”

“Huh!” I responded.

The funny thing is that I was already heading that direction on Melrose Ave. I was actually already checking out the scene at Urth Cafe when I got the call. It was getting late in the day and I figured I needed a story that could sell. So, I headed to the salon.

When I got there, I counted close to 20 Paparazzi just hanging out. Yup! I was about to crash a massive orgi party. The gangbang hadn’t started yet. I actually figured that I was there early.

Whenever Ms. Gabrielle Solis goes to the salon, she hangs out there for about four to six hours. She even has food delivered to her while getting her wig trimmed. Oh well, we waited and waited. We were getting so bor
