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

I was out on the street really early today. I was out no more than fifteen minutes when I spotted Nicole Richie as she arrived at Joan’s On Third restaurant to grab a bite to eat. She sat down in the front, like always, probably to attract paparazzi activity; to my surprise, no one came. She ate and ate as if she started to eat again. She had a giant sandwich, well, that is how big it probably looked to her. After about one hour, she got up and headed towards her car. I hosed her down as she walked to her car. She took off.

I decided to follow her today and I am really glad that I did. Initially I thought that she would head home since she headed in that general direction. She went down the paparazzi route and along the way picked up a few paparazzi. Before you knew it, there were a few paparazzi on the chase. She went to a local store somewhere on Melrose Avenue and parked. I initially didn’t think much of the place, but then I noticed him… Mr. New Age Chris Cringle.

I so hoped that she would get on his lap. Well, by the power of intention, I got my wish. Nicole not only got on his lap but straddled poor Santa Claus as she did the peace sign. The glare from the window was extremely horrible, but luckily I was able to knock off a few shots.

In a few days, after I sell the video, I might just show you. You guys have to let me know that you are out there reading by leaving some comments… I feel like a lonely voice… Am I?

I left the house at 4:00 PM in the afternoon. After all, I woke up at 2:00 PM. With a Britney Spears and Paris Hilton late night last night, my sleep was all out of whack. I noticed outside that it was getting dark. I had about one hour before the sun went down. I didn’t care, I was on a mission to find someone for you guys, so that I can post tomorrow’s story! I was out!

I headed to Robertson Blvd. for the late shoppers! Without a hitch, when I got there I noticed a gangbang in progress. It was Robertson Blvd. and it was fair game. I parked my car at the nearest space. I got my flash ready and I ran to store so I could get a couple of shots of her shopping. I actually had plenty of time since Eva Longoria was at that store for more than an hour. After an hour, I had too many shots. When she left, everyone blocked each other which made it very hard to get a clean fashion shot. Well, she went into the parking structure and I headed to my car.

I made a U-turn from where I was and I headed to the backstreets to get to 3rd St. Right when I got there, I spotted Eva Longoria as she made a right onto my street. I had no choice but to make a U-turn. Guess where she went?! Yup! She went to Robertson Blvd. Again!

She found parking in another parking lot! I again found parking and she went into a skin care place. Well, guess who was in the store next door? Penelope Cruz! She was shopping at Lisa Kline. I got a few shots before everyone else noticed. The security at Lisa Kline didn’t appreciate all the photographers, so they dropped all the curtains. I waited a few minutes and Penelope came out. I hosed her down before she got into her waiting car. She took off and I went back to Eva Longoria!

Not a bad day for only working for an hour and a half. My girl is so jealous!

I was on Melrose Place when I finished shooting Carmen Electra. I started to think and one thing didn’t make sense! Why were there already some paparazzi waiting when Carmen arrived? My spidey senses started to tingle and I started to look around. I had a feeling that they were already working on another story. No one said anything; there were some paparazzi that took off. As I walked slowly to my car, I finally noticed her car there. It was Courteney Cox!

I figured that she was getting some treatment for her skin at the very popular Kate Somerville Skin Care Salon, since she has been spotted there a few times before. The other paparazzi realized that I found their little secret. I played along and pretended to leave so that those that didn’t know would also leave. Soon only a few remained and we gathered to make prior shooting arrangements. We all agreed that we would shoot long. Well, that all changed after we waited over three hours for Courteney to come out. It was now dark and our plan changed. We all went short with flash. She finally came out!

She said to us, “Not today. I look ugly today; some other day!” She then covered her face with a piece of paper. We made an attempt to bargain with her. We told her that if she gave us a few shots by the stairs of the building that we would leave her alone. She refused! So we hosed!

I got plenty of shots; enough to make her contradict her character on her new show! She has a show coming out in January, which is about her being a photojournalist that will do anything to get the picture, yet she hates to be photographed?!

Earlier that night as Paris Hilton made her grand entrance to Hyde, Kim Kardashian came out of the club. I think that she was about to go home, but for some reason - maybe because Paris Hilton had now arrived? - Kim decided to go back into the club for Round Two. I was able to take a few pictures of her as she walked in and out.

Well, I had forgotten about Kim because Britney had arrived.

After Britney was in the door, I remembered that Kim Kardashian was around.

There is not much of a story here, other than that with all the commotion that Britney’s arrival to Hyde caused, I found Kim Kardashian in her car talking to her friend and making all kinds of facial expressions. When I got to the car to take pictures of her, I was able to capture some of them.

It was about 8:30 AM in the morning when I finished writing the last post about Britney Spears. It was a very long night. Since then I have re-read the story and realized that I didn’t make any sense with what I wrote, so I am going to retell the story of what happened.

It was late in the afternoon and I talked to everyone I know to find out information on the whereabouts of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. The last I had heard was that they partied late the night before and they were headed to Britney’s house in Malibu.

I heard that there were about forty guys waiting for the pair to leave,
