EXCLUSIVE: Scott Speedman – The Piece of Shit Car
Sep 12th
I get the call from The Ninja, “I am on someone not too big, but you can call bragging rights on this.” “Who is it?” I asked. He replies, “It is Scott Speedman and he is driving a piece of shit car.” “He just pulled into a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Beverly Hills on Whilshire Blvd.,” The Ninja told me. “I will be right there,” I responded.
He didn’t spend too much time at the Mercedez-Benz dealership.
We followed him into the heart of Beverly Hills. There he parks, gets out of his car, and makes a phone call. By this time we realized that there was a bigger story around the corner and so we decided to hose him. We stepped up to him and asked about his stop at the Mercedes-Benz dealership, and we asked him if he was going to replace his car. He responded with a smile and says, “Have you seen my piece of shit car?”
We asked him what happened to it and he told us that he keeps hitting something close to his house.
Well, we got a couple of shots. He was really cool with us, and we took off.

EXCLUSIVE: A Slow Day For The Ninja
Sep 12th
The Ninja was out and about at the club scene the other day. He told me that no one was around and that the night was going a little slow. So, he decided to go to one of the local celeb hangout spots and he waited for a few minutes.
There were no other paps and he figures that it was going to be a slow night.
Then, just as he was about to leave Serena Williams comes out with a male companion.
He snaps a couple of frames and calls it a day.

EXCLUSIVE: “Save The Last Dance”!
Sep 8th
After Bow Wow, I headed down Melrose Ave. towards Urth Cafe. I slowed down a lot to my grandpa-type driving and I started looking at every face in the restaurant. Soon, my Pap senses start going crazy and I had to go for a second look. Yup! I was right. It was Sean Patrick Thomas, the actor from the movie “Save the Last Dance”.
I know that 99% of the other paparazzi don’t even know who he is. So, I knew that I was going to have a small exclusive.
By now, I was stopped at the median divider pretending that I was going to make a left turn with my signal on. I get my LONG lens out, I lowered my window, and I started to hose him… Ok… Maybe there was no need for a hose, but I wanted him to feel welcomed. 
He was shocked at first, I guess he probably thought that I was going to do something worse to him and he covers his face. Once he realized that I was a Pap, he got a little happy, started smiling, and was in a good mood. I don’t think that anybody has ever Pap’d him? I have never seen a picture of him published. Oh wait… I remember that vicious rumor about magazines and tabloids don’t really publish these celebs no matter how talented they are (read my previous blog to know what I am taking about).
As he stood up to go, he gets his shades and slides them on like a cool cat, and with a big smile on his face he walks to his car.
Sean Patrick Thomas recently got married to Aonika Laurent in New Orleans on April 22, 2006. The wedding, according to the web, was originally planned for the Fall of 2005 in New Orleans, but was postponed due to Hurricane Katrina.
Well, Sean and Aonika, Congratulations on your wedding!

EXCLUSIVE: Bow-Wow-Yippie-Yo-Yippie-Yeah!
Sep 8th
So I was checking out the scene at Melrose Place and I noticed a lot of paparazzi scrambling around as if they were getting ready to shoot someone. I made a decision before hand that I was going to avoid gangbangs whenever possible, so I kept driving. The funny thing is that I found out later on that this agency was playing a joke on another agency and they were pretending that someone was there. Basically, they were making fun of the New-School-can’t-find-your-own-story paparazzi out there. I think that they successfully wasted about an hour of the other agency’s time. That is just too funny!
So I headed down Melrose Ave. towards Fred Segal. Just as I pulled into the parking lot, I spotted Bow Wow just hanging out with his buddies in the parking lot. I drove into Fred Segal’s alley way and past the restaurant to find parking on the street. The funny thing is that there were some Paps eating at the restaurant and they didn’t even notice Bow Wow. I found parking, I got my equipment ready and I hid it in my bag. I quickly walked past the restaurant and the other paparazzi having lunch and I went to hide around the building. I got my camera out and I started to shoot.
Just about one minute later, one of the paparazzi comes to say hello and asked me who it was… I told him it was Bow Wow… and he said that he doesn’t even know who he is. Well, that paparazzi probably has a point in not wasting memory space with Bow Wow since he probably will not sell. (There is a vicious rumor out there that Black people don’t sell? Come on magazines and tabloids, prove this rumor wrong and buy my picture of Bow Wow. ).
So, that Pap went back to his meal. I finished off Bow Wow and they drove off into the sunset. I didn’t follow, I was just happy to finally take a picture of someone today. Friday’s have been notorious for being a slow day for me.
After the shoot, I went to have a chat with the other Paps having lunch.

EXCLUSIVE: September 2006 Honorable Mention! (Part 2)
Sep 8th
I was driving on Melrose Ave. and as I approached Urth Cafe, I spotted this nice looking white Lamborghini parked in front of the Valet parking. I looked around and sure enough, having lunch with a new man was Nicole Mitchell Murphy, who is the ex-wife of actor and comedian Eddie Murphy.
According to the web, she has 5 children with Eddie Murphy. The children are:
1. Daughter, Bria, born on November 18, 1989 in Sacramento.
2. Son, Myles Mitchell, born on Nobember 7, 1992.
3. Daughter, Shayne Audra, born on October 10, 1994.
4. Daughter, Zola Ivy, born on December 24, 1999 in Los Angeles.
5. Daughter, Bella Zahra, born on January 29, 2002.
She looks extremely fit for a mother of five children, don’t you think?
Well, I found her being all cuddly and kissy with this new man. He got a little uncomfortable being affectionate in public by his behavior of looking around after every kiss.
Oh well, she does have a nice car.

EXCLUSIVE: September 2006 Honorable Mention! (Part 1)
Sep 8th
Just the other day I was working with The Ninja in West Hollywood and he spotted this actress who was sporting herself this butt!
She was close to the local Starbucks and a newspaper stand. The Ninja just found a parking space half a block away. He had the famous and lucky Hunter, “The Hollywood Dog” with him, but he couldn’t get to the scene in time to position himself in a nice shooting location without being seen. So he let me do all the work.
I don’t think that she stopped for coffee, but she went directly to the magazines. Eventually she bought a few mags and went to her car. She waited in her car for about 10 minutes before she headed in the direction of her home.
By that time, The Ninja, Hunter, and myself were sitting at an outside table having some coffee. So have you guessed who it is?
It is no mystery, it was Michelle Trachtenberg.

I am still on Mental Vacation!
Sep 8th
I went out kinda late today. It was about 2:00 PM and I had to run an errand. I got in my car and I went through my normal motions of getting my cameras ready and checking the settings. I didn’t realize that I was on auto pilot until after I finished running my errand. It was about 4:30 PM and I was thinking that I haven’t found anyone today. So, finally I woke up and I got serious about finding a celeb.
I was driving around Sunset Blvd. and I spotted Mira Sorvino. She had her puppy in her lap. She was heading the opposite direction. My goodness, there was so much traffic that I couldn’t make a U-turn. So I wasn’t able to get to anyone today. 
As I was driving home, my pap alert goes off. This time it was a text message and I viewed it. Wow!, is what came out of my mouth after reading it. “Britney Spears is giving birth now at St. John’s Hospital.” Well, I hope it all goes well for her, I thought, and I continued homebound to see my lovely lady.
So, now that I am talking about having babies, I posted some pics that I didn’t place on the blog a few weeks ago because of their exclusivity. I heard Sean P. Diddy Combs is going to be a father again (of twins) with his model girlfriend Kim Porter.

So What Happened Today!
Sep 7th
Kinda like the story I told on my previous posting. I was checking out the Cafe Med parking lot and as I was about to exit, Eva Longoria drives in with a small entourage of paparazzi behind her. I had no choice, I was already there, I couldn’t ignore it, I couldn’t avoid it, I had to go for it!
I made a quick U-turn and went right back into the parking lot. I knew that it was going to be a gangbang of paparazzi because for one, we were at Cafe Med which is ONE of the most heavily paparazzi traveled restaurants; and two, there was an agency there that likes to call in the entire army of paparazzi.
After parking, Eva was just chilling in her car, talking on her phone, waiting for her friends to arrive. How inconsiderate she was, since all the paparazzi were waiting for her to get out of her car waiting in the scorching sun.
Ok…It was a little hot.
She finally comes out of her car and I realized quickly, again, that I really don’t like gangbangs. Everyone was taking shots. She meets her friends and they all walk into the rear entrance of the restaurant. Eva was smiling the whole time. She loves the attention that we give her. After all, why do you think that she goes to Cafe Med about twice a week?
Time is passing by and more paparazzi are showing up. About one and a half hours later, she comes out and once again, everyone was fighting for some shots. She finally gets into her car and is escorted out by those that didn’t get any shots. I think she just went home? I wasn’t going to bother chasing…
By the way, did you guys miss me?

EXCLUSIVE: Thanks For Missing Me During My Vacation!
Sep 7th
I had a great time during my vacation. I didn’t go too far. I went to Beaumont, California. Why did I go there? Well, I am glad that you asked, but I will tell you about it at the end of this post.
So, just before I left you guys hanging I mentioned that I got a story that I was not able to place on the blog since it may mess up the exclusivity of the picture. Well, unfortunately, I should have just posted it and maybe it would have sparked more interest from those magazines that read this blog. I never saw my picture printed in any magazines or tabloids.
I believe that the closeness to the Emmy’s and VMA’s probably messed up my sales.
Oh well!
Well, here are the shots that I held from you guys of the lovely Debra Messing.
I found her entering Cafe Med’s parking lot. I was on my way out since I already scoped out the place and no one wanted to be photographed until I spotted Debra Messing. She had an assistant driving her car. They never got out of the car. All I could see is the reflection of Debra talking on the phone. Literally for about one hour. I am surprised that within all that time, no other Pap showed up.
Well, her assistant turns on the car and they head out of the parking lot. I am on cautious pursuit since I am in the hot zone. They head up the hill and end up at a private party where they valet parked their car and were waiting for the shuttle to take them to the party. I jumped out of the car since I knew that the shuttle was close by and I hosed her on the spot. Now, mind you, I normally don’t do this since I don’t like the celeb to recognize me.
Debra was really nice to me and smiled for the photo. The only thing that she requested was that I not video her. I happily pretended to comply.
I guess, lucky for me, the shuttle did not come soon enough and Debra got tired of waiting. She jumped back in her car and took off for home.
One thing that I thought was going to sell the shots was that she seemed to be carrying a little belly, hinting at the rumors of her possibly being pregnant. I thought that I had proven it with the shots that I took, but maybe she is not pregnant. What do you guys think?
OK, back to my vacation. I went to Beaumont, California with my lovely girl to learn about changing our perspective in life. We took the “Enlightened Warrior Training Camp.” I actually think that if you go through this experience, you will change your life as well. I am not going to bore you with the details, but I will leave you with this to entice your curiosity.
It all started one day when my girl and myself read this book called “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind“, by T. Harv Ecker.
Well! I have included a link if you want to buy the book online. By the way, if you do purchase the book, or where ever you purchase the book, on the last page (page 196) you need to enter the Reference Number 350443.
This reference will allow you to get certain discounts and allow you to register for classes if you are interested.
