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

I had planned on taking off today! I woke up really late and I started to mess around with my e-mail. I started to get a little bored, so I decided to go for a cruise around the town. I was killing time until traffic died down so I could take my motorcycle out for a ride.

I got into my car and off I went. Of course, I always take my camera because I never know who I’ll spot. I really didn’t plan on working today because I thought I wouldn’t find anyone. However, I should know myself a little better than that… I frequently find someone.

As I drove southbound on Robertson Blvd., I spotted Keanu Reeves’ car parked outside the Ivy restaurant. I didn’t see any paparazzi; I figured that they were all taking the day off. I found parking around the block and I slowly got my camera ready. Oh yeah, earlier I had stopped to get some coffee, so I also took that along with me to the restaurant. I was with an ‘I don’t care attitude’. “If I get him, great! If I don’t, great!,” I said to myself.

When I got there, Keanu’s car was still parked in front. I started to wait. No other paparazzi and no Keanu, yet! I waited and I waited. Minute 45 came and I finally got jumped by some paparazzi. They noticed me even though I had covered myself with the valet sign in front of the restaurant. They didn’t even know who it was. Well, I couldn’t expect to be exclusive on Robertson Blvd.

By the time Keanu came out, there were about eight paparazzi. It was totally non-exclusive. I went home after that.

I have received many comments regarding Keanu Reeves and how I was so mean in my blog. I actually don’t think that I was being mean since I was just merely commenting on how he acted. So, here is the video from that day so you can see for yourself.

What do you guys think? Was Keanu Reeves wasted?

I found Keanu Reeves late in the afternoon while he had dinner with a female companion and her dog. They were at Le Conversation and Keanu acted kinda strange. Every once in a while he would close one eye and leave the other eye opened. He stood up to answer his cell phone and when he walked back, he stumbled all over.

The grossest thing that he did was stick his finger in his mouth to loosen an article of food that must have been stuck somewhere on his teeth. Then, he looked at his finger after dislodging the food and laughed. I guess his dinner companion must have commented on that action?

Keanu then got up to stretch. He sat back down; he was completely impatient. As he ate, his food got stuck just outside his mouth and he did not notice. It was disgusting.

Luckily, he did not know that I was there while he ate; otherwise, he might have cleaned up his act. I hid in my car the whole time. I found parking just behind a car on the same side of the street as the restaurant, and had a clear view towards him. I felt bad for Keanu. He did look better though since he did shave.

I was on my route when I noticed Keanu Reeves’ car parked in front of Orso Restaurant on Third St. I also noticed a bunch of paparazzi claiming their area as they waited for Keanu to come out of the restaurant. I quickly found parking around the block. I got my camera with flash and I ran towards the restaurant.

When I got there, Keanu was still inside. I blended in with the paps and began to wait for him to come out. We all thought that he was going to exit through the front since his car was parked in front of the restaurant, but soon we discovered that the valet guy got into his car and drove it to the side door.

“Why was he making things difficult”, I thought in my head. Then all the paparazzi rushed to the side door where his car was moved to.

Keanu came out a few minutes later and he started to put his head down, so that no one could get a clean shot of him. He got into his car and took off.

I was up late last night taking shots of Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner and their guests as they celebrated Brody’s birthday at Privilege last night; I didn’t get to sleep until 6 AM. My Pap Alert goes off around 12:00 PM. I get a tip that Kate del Castillo was having lunch at one of the local eateries. I quickly get up and I put on my dirty clothes from last night and I get my gear. I’m half asleep and dirty as I head to see if I can get a few shots. Unfortunately, I didn’t get there in time. But it wasn’t long before I found Keanu Reeves and this mystery blonde heading into Orso.

I only got a few shots and it was time for me to wait. I went into hiding mode and I placed all the shades up in my car to camouflage me. Since I was on the main route I noticed these paps that had spotted my car and wondered what I was doing. They circled the street about three times before they parked nearby. One of them gets out of his car and starts looking around the Orso parking lot to see if he can identify what I was working on. I was getting jumped.

I called The Ninja to come help me out. By the time The Ninja arrived, the jumpers had already called three other friends. I had no choice but to go commando. There was a staircase that was blocked off by a plant. The stairs led to the second floor of the restaurant. I went to the plant and ran upstairs. I was able to knock off a few shots of the new couple having lunch together. The Manager of Orso comes out and asks me not to do that. I said ok and went back into my car.

I asked The Ninja if he wanted to get a few shots of the new couple eating and I told him about the stairs. The Ninja was a little more stealth than I was. He didn’t get caught. Well, I guess that is why he is called The Ninja.
