A few minutes later, we were on Canon Drive when I spotted Samantha Ronson having a smoke just outside La Scala Restaurant. I knew right away that Nicole Richie must be eating inside. I pulled over to the side of the street in plain view of the restaurant. I give The Ninja a call and told him about Nicole. He then told me that he was already in position across the street. I guess he had the same idea that I had.

Soon Nicole comes out with Samantha Ronson and another female friend. They all cross the street and Nicole goes directly to this ugly dude (aka Alex “Orbi” Orbison) and gives him a hug. Right then I realized that this might be Nicole’s new man?

So much for her ex-fiance Adam Goldstein, aka DJ AM. Has Nicole found herself a real diamond-in-the-ruff? You can tell from his mustache and his “Girls Gone Wild” T-shirt.

I would have to give him props for wearing sunglasses that match Nicole’s; maybe this is how Nicole got attracted to him?

You never know with celebs.

I was driving down Crescent Heights Blvd. and finally the Pap Alert goes off. Gwen Stefani and baby Kingston are headed down to West Hollywood. I asked The Ninja where he thinks she is headed. He told me to head to the studio just in case to intercept. Sure enough, my little bros started to feel a little excited again. I finally made it down to the studio and I started explaining the car that she drives so that they could help me look for it. Unfortunately, I get the dreaded call that she made a left on La Brea and headed to another gated studio and no one got any shots.

Later in the day, the Pap Alert rings again. I am thinking to myself that maybe the day is going to improve a little. Kirsten Dunst is shopping at a little store on 3rd St.

As I am headed to meet The Ninja, I spotted an equally important celeb…Christina Ricci is with her boyfriend Adam Goldberg heading down Beverly Blvd. Well, granted The Ninja had a better celeb (i.e., Kirsten Dunst is an A celeb), both Christina and Adam together make a B+, so they have to be shot. Unfortunately, I got caught in two red lights and I lost them. Well, at least The Ninja got a few shots of Kirsten Dunst.

Ugh! This day was dragging! I kept seeing all these Paps bored out of their mind and hanging out having a drink at some local hangouts. I was driving down Beverly Blvd. before calling it a day and I finally spotted a D celeb…Ryan Seacrest. He was now headed southbound on Doheny Blvd. I was a few cars behind him and he didn’t have a clue that I was there. He pulls into the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and I parked my car in a driveway across the street from the hotel.

I get my cameras and I run across the street. My little bros get out of the car and run on the same side of the street to get a better view of what I am doing and to get a better view of Ryan.

He gets out of his car and I shoot a few shots. Nothing great and nothing too exciting, maybe he can pay for my gas bill for the day.
