A Day in the Life of the Paparazzi!

She Pleaded ‘No Contest’ To A Misdemeanor Vehicular Manslaughter Charge
Nov 2nd
I was not having a good day today. I was hanging out at the back of a restaurant where Lindsay Lohan’s car was in plain view. I was waiting there because I thought that Lindsay was going to come out the back door to get to her car. Unfortunately, I missed the story because she decided to go through the front. I thought it was kinda odd. I pondered this all day!
Then I missed another story later. As I pulled onto Robertson Blvd., I noticed Eve getting into her car. There were a few paps who already got her. I missed that story as well. 
I wanted to find at least one person today and I finally found her on Melrose Place. She was having lunch with a female friend.
When I found her, I thought that it was going to be exclusive. Unfortunately, I soon spotted the “White Chicks” (a nickname we give to two other paps) standing by waiting for Rebecca Gayheart to walk to her car. Rebecca was having a smoke, so I was able to get a few shots of that.
She was about to leave, so I got my short lens ready with flash. Guess what I did…?! Today was not going my way. I had the wrong setting on my camera and I overexposed the shots of her as she walked down the street. I was so frustrated! I called it a day after that. Luckily, I did have enough for a decent set.
By the way, in case you are wondering about the title, it is actually a sad story. She ran over a little boy as he was crossing the street as he was coming home from school; he died one day later. All the other cars stopped except for her’s.

“Are You In Good Hands?”
Nov 2nd
I was driving past the Ivy restaurant when all of a sudden I was taken back to one of those Allstate commercials. I saw Dennis Haysbert spreading opens his hands and saying, “Are you in good hands?” Ok, he didn’t say that; he was probably telling me that I was blocking traffic as I was taking pictures of him.
It was the Ivy, everyone gets in the way so no one actually honked at me. Luckily, I was able to get four shots of him which is perfect for my set. He was just standing there waiting for his car from the valet parking.
He seemed pretty cool. This is the first time I’ve seen this dude live. I did a little research on him today and I was surprised that he has been in a lot of movies and TV series’ throughout his career.
I was there at the Ivy to take care of Lindsay Lohan. Dennis got into his Bentley and off he went. I don’t think that anyone followed.

EXCLUSIVE: In Late 1997, She Met Rocker Marilyn Manson, Who Had Moved To Hollywood Hoping To Meet Her
Nov 2nd
I was working on another deja vu… Lindsay Lohan at the Ivy restaurant. After all the Lindsay mess, she ended up fulfilling another deja vu. Can you guess where she went? Yup! Ken Paves’ Salon in West Hollywood. Well, I wasn’t going to stick around for that one, plus I figured that I could probably find someone in the time that she was inside the salon.
Fortunately, I did find someone as I was heading eastbound on Melrose Ave. I found Rose McGowan heading in the same direction. At first I though that she was going to stop at Urth Cafe since she put on her turn signal when she got close to that cafe, but she kept going straight. We headed further and further east. As we were getting to Fred Segal, she decided to make a left onto Crescent Heights Blvd. Shortly after that, she made a U-turn and ended up going back to Fred Segal.
I found parking quickly on the street before the alleyway. I got my cameras ready and I ran to meet her as she came out of her car. I was the only one there. She didn’t know that I was there until she got out of her car. The security guard was already on my ass ensuring that I didn’t go onto the property. Luckily, the alleyway is public property. Rose took a look at me and quickly returned to her car. She got her sunglasses and then she came directly towards me.
I asked her how she was doing and she gladly spoke to me saying that she was doing great. She looked very sexy, but the last time I thought that she looked sexy, she sold to a magazine where they placed her in the worst dressed category. Go figure!

EXCLUSIVE: Fabio Is An Avid Motorcyclist Who Owns 150 Motorcycles!
Nov 1st
After I left Cafe Med and Brody Jenner, I continued to head back to my house and the traffic again. I made a left on Sunset Blvd. heading eastbound and right away I noticed this guy in this big truck that looked like Fabio. I actually wasn’t sure if it was Fabio. I somehow got about three to four cars ahead of the truck.
I pulled over because I wanted to make sure that it was him. I lowered my back window and I began to watch the cars as they passed me by. Once the truck got into my sight, Yup! I positively identified Fabio Lanzoni. I got behind him and we traveled in the traffic for a few blocks. Then he made a right on La Cienega and a quick left onto Santa Monica Blvd. We just missed the closure of the street.
He made another left onto a little street and pulled into Hugo’s Restaurant. I pulled over on the red zone across the street and I got out of my car. Since I knew that he was a motorcyclist, I went up to him and chatted with him about his motorcycles. I told him that I also have a tiny Honda CBR1000RR… 
Well, he went into the restaurant and I left. I looked at my shots and I wasn’t too happy with some of the shots that I got, so I went back in thirty minutes and sure enough, once I got there he came out. I was able to get a few shots of him without him knowing that I was there. After that, I finally went home.

EXCLUSIVE: Son Of Actress Linda Thompson And Olympic Decathlon Winner Bruce Jenner
Nov 1st
I was about to give up for the day since all the roads were closed off because of the Halloween party that was going to happen in my neighborhood. The city of West Hollywood closed Santa Monica Blvd. from La Cienega all the way down to Doheny Drive. This closure pretty much messed up my route and added so much traffic everywhere (not that LA doesn’t have enough to begin with!) that I was doubtful I was going to spot any celebs.
I headed eastbound towards my house on Sunset Blvd. at around 4:00 PM. I was in heavy traffic when all of a sudden I spotted Brody Jenner and his mom getting into his Bentley nearby the Hustler store. I pulled over since I knew that they were going to head in my direction. Normally, I would not shoot him, but he is better than nothing.
Soon he passed by me and I started to follow him. He took me all the way to Sunset Plaza. He pulled into the parking lot and found a parking spot. I thought that he was going to go to Le Petit Four to have a late lunch. I pulled over right away into a neighboring parking space. I got out of my car, turned on my video camera and I started to shoot a couple of frames. I started a quick conversation with them by asking them about Halloween.
Both were really cool with me. Brody’s mom, Linda Thompson, said, “I wish I was actually dressed up for you?” Meaning, she wished she were wearing a Halloween outfit for the shoot. Well, they ended up grabbing a bite to eat at Cafe Med. I didn’t stick around.
