Two Brits Collide!
After the madness at Fred Segal, The Ninja and I followed Rachel Stevens to the Coffee Bean. She ended up heading westbound on Melrose Ave. Both The Ninja and myself were in constant communication keeping a close eye on her. There was one other paparazzo around who both The Ninja and myself get along with. He refers to himself as “The Hulk.” I really respect this guy for his spotting skills and his integrity.
Well, we were all keeping our distance, the way follows should be done. We gave her plenty of room, but she knew that we were behind her. Once she gets to Melrose Ave. and Doheny Drive we get stopped by the light. She was in the middle lane of three lanes. She was in front followed by the Ninja, The Hulk, and lastly, myself. Then out of nowhere, Rachel decides to lose us and cuts the first lane of traffic and makes a right turn on the red.
Well, we are all experienced drivers…so please don’t try this at home. 
We followed and now we were all headed northbound on Doheny Drive towards Sunset Blvd. At Sunset she makes a left turn. Shortly after that, she makes a U-turn into oncoming traffic, and shortly after that, she pulls into the Starbucks parking lot.
Wow! What a chase! Rachel doesn’t get out of her car; she has her friend get her some coffee. The bizzare part of it was when her friend came back with coffee. They both get into her car and it almost felt that Rachel was waiting for us to follow. We slowly walked to our cars and got behind her ready for the next part of the chase.
I guess she must of looked back, because once we were all in position, she takes off. So, we followed. She then took us a few blocks down Sunset Blvd. heading westbound to the local Coffee Bean. She finds parking and once again, she waited in her car until we all parked and got ready. A few minutes later, we were waiting for her at the entrance. Jason Statham was there sitting with a couple of friends, but we didn’t care to shoot him.
Rachel comes down and we started to hose her. She walks past Jason and he pretends to ignore her. I think that Jason was feeling a little jealous that he wasn’t getting any attention. Well, she walks into the Bean with her friend to grab some coffee.
We continue to ignore Jason as Rachel walks inside the Bean and from the other side of the window from where Jason was sitting she says hello to him.
Jason stands up with his friends and he walks to his car. We snapped a few frames of the poor guy and quickly placed our attention back to Rachel. Soon after that she comes out. As she was walking back to her car, she stops where Jason was waiting with his friends pretending to look at something in the truck of his car. She says hello again and walks away smiling because I’m guessing she knows that she is more important than Jason. She gets in her car and takes off. We didn’t care to follow her after that.

Thanks to all of you who like this site and are posting comments. I really appreciate and enjoy the interaction. It really motivates me to continue posting my daily finds.
And Tracey, You hit the nail in the head. I have a lot of people that come to this site to read my side of the story, but for some reason I can’t get them to comment. I think I am going to add a picture to grab attention to the comment link. So, thanks for playing your part in posting your comments.

Wow, I am shocked at this. I don’t even know Rachel Stevens. I think she’s a no name British celeb? Jason Statham is way bigger than her in my eyes, and believe me I’d much rather look at pics of him. He’s hot! I am very surprised. His star is on the rise way more than hers. I do enjoy the site though. As for not commenting, for me it depends on the celebs/story. I refuse to comment on no talents Paris & Nicole, Hypocrite Ashlee Simpson, or played out Britney & KFED. I have absolute zero interest in any of them and now skip over stories and pictures pertaining to them. I’m totally bored with that bunch of has beens.

i’m always checkin out your blog and i’m commenting now since you say you wish you had more comments. #1- you have ba***! i can’t point a camera at someone i don’t know for the life of me. i just recently did it but got horrible shots except for maybe one. granted you have longer lenses lol… i was using a polaroid HAHA. (hey maybe you could email me some pointers!) ok and #2- these pictures make me miss coffee bean and tea leaf. i’m obsessed. (moved from LA two years ago and they’re no where around here)!
You have an entertaining blog! I appreciate that you seem to understand the importance of strong work ethics. There are a lot of people out there giving your profession a bad name. You need the shot, they need the publicity. More power to ya!
