Paparazzi

KYLIE JENNER DOESN’T WANT YOU TO SEE HER (?)

Now why would that be? Kylie Jenner just had dinner at Nobu in Malibu with her friend, singer Harry Hudson, Caitlyn Jenner (her father) and Caitlyn’s roommate Sophia Hutchins. Everybody walked out looking happy, but Kylie spotted a paparazzi and immediately made a big deal about ducking and covering her face. The others looked surprised at her reaction. Was Kylie embarrassed by the Forbes “youngest billionaire” scandal? Or does she just hate having her photo taken without benefit of photoshopping? You be the judge…

coronavirus Fashion Hollywood Paparazzi Starlet

EVEN A PANDEMIC CAN’T DETER A HOLLYWOOD STARLET

There is a group of women in Hollywood who seem to LIVE for the paparazzi and will do almost anything to get their attention. On a sunny day you might see one in a sexy outfit walking her dog, but sunny days have been few and far between. Some of these potential pin-ups are even friendly with a specific photographer who will follow them around, hoping to get photos they can sell. These attention-seeking starlets are clever, and one (Blanca Blanco) dressed up in this creative outfit to go shopping, knowing she would turn heads in the supermarket. She had very little competition.

Los Angeles Meghan Markle Paparazzi Prince Harry

MEGHAN MARKLE IS PULLING ALL THE RIGHT STRINGS

Personally, we have always felt that Meghan Markle was too good for Prince Harry. She had a successful and fun life as an actress with all kinds of opportunities ahead of her. Harry seems like a decent but very average guy and his life as a royal was posh but stifling. So we were thrilled when Meghan talked Harry into leaving the royal family behind and establishing a life of their own in the USA. At least she can continue acting! Certainly that’s the biggest reason they moved to LA. (Maybe the climate was also appealing!) Paparazzi here will be WORSE than the UK, so we know THAT’S not the reason they left. Harry is actually a very lucky guy- Meghan rescued him from a dull future. And she rescued herself from being FORCED to wear silly hats…

Paparazzi Police Shia LaBeouf

SHIA LABEOUF IS REBUFFED BY COPS!

Shia LaBeouf became irate when he noticed a photographer in the street in front of his house. He confronted him and threatened to call the police if he did not leave immediately. The paparazzo insisted he wasn’t breaking any laws and refused to cooperate. So Shia planted himself in front of the guy’s car so he COULDN’T leave, while he called the cops. Surprisingly, police DID arrive, and calmly evaluated the situation. And came up with a sensible solution. They suggested that Shia go back into his house!

Diet Paparazzi Simon Cowell

SIMON COWELL AND THE PAPARAZZI DIET

Simon Cowell is MORE than happy to pose shirtless with female fans on the beach in Barbados since he lost twenty pounds. In fact, he’s so thrilled with his new look that he hasn’t worn a shirt on the beach since he arrived for his annual vacation. Simon vacations with his wife and son at the same place in Barbados every year during the Christmas holidays so he’s quite predictable and paparazzi wait for him. Simon didn’t try to avoid them this year. Maybe that was part of his motivation for losing weight – call it “the paparazzi diet.”

Courteney Cox Dogs Paparazzi

COURTENEY COX HAS NEW RESPECT FOR PAPARAZZI

We cannot let this Courteney Cox story about her dogs escaping from her property and running loose on busy Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu go by without comment. Courtney was desperately chasing her pups on the street when a paparazzo happened to be driving by and noticed her dilemma. The unidentified guy leaped out of his car and blocked traffic, chased down the Cavalier Spaniels and rescued them. The incident was captured on his dashcam so the guy got an unexpected scoop. We would like to know WHO this guy is – he deserves some praise. Paparazzi get a bad rap from a lot of celebs but they happen to be perfectly nice people just doing their jobs. As a reporter chasing stories, I found them to be really likeable and helpful. Their hours can be long and tedious, but they make actors MORE famous and in-demand. Can you imagine the internet with no paparazzi pix? Let’s give them a little respect.

Attitude Jason Momoa Leonardo DiCaprio Paparazzi

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JASON MOMOA AND LEO DICAPRIO

We’re not talking about looks here – we’re talking about behavior. Above, Jason Momoa was surprised by paparazzi as he walked into his New York hotel. He was in a hurry, but acknowledged them with a sly grin. Leonardo DiCaprio, on the other hand, HATES the idea of paparazzi making money with photos of him! He scowls and tries to make his pics less desirable by covering himself with hats, hoods, sunglasses, scarves, jackets on his head, even pushy bodyguards. Jason often jokes with the paparazzi and doesn’t seem to mind them at all. They’re just part of the business…

Attitude Lindsay Lohan Paparazzi Press

LINDSAY LOHAN: HOW TIMES AND ATTITUDES HAVE CHANGED!

Lindsay Lohan is looking downright friendly and flirtatious with the paparazzi in New York. Seems she’s learned to appreciate them. We remember back around 2007, when Lindsay started getting arrested for DUI, drugs, shoplifting, fighting, and multiple revoked probations. She was in and out of jail and rehab more times than we could count. And she HATED paparazzi and the press- because they documented her difficulties! Now that her MTV reality series Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club has failed, and she’s recording music, she’s become oh-so friendly to the press.

Emily Ratajkowski Hilary Duff Paparazzi

EMILY RATAJKOWSKI: YOU’RE NOT FOOLING US!

It’s funny how every day when Emily Ratajkowski walks out of her New York apartment, there’s a paparazzo waiting to document her appearance. She leaves home fully made up and provocatively dressed several times a day. (She’s the east-coast version of Hilary Duff) Apparently Emily is VERY ambitious and knows how powerful paparazzi photos can be in raising one’s profile, so she has some sort of deal with a photographer and notifies him of her departures. Too make her comings and goings look more natural, Emily got a dog she can walk several times a day, always looking as cute as can be (both of them.) Today she’s pretending that she doesn’t want her picture taken.

Dodi Fayed Elton John Paparazzi Prince Harry Princess Diana Private Jet

ELTON JOHN HAS CONVENIENT MEMORY LAPSES WHEN IT COMES TO PRINCESS DIANA

Gotta disagree with Elton John once again. Elton is irate because UK press pointed out that Prince Harry claims to care about the environment, yet he and Meghan and their baby flew on a private jet to visit Elton’s estate in France. Elton tweeted it was HIS idea to fly private, and blasted the press for disrupting the couple’s “safety and tranquility.” He went so far as to say “Prince Harry’s mother Diana was one of my closest friends and I feel obliged to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s death!“ Elton has conveniently forgotten that Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayed were killed by their own drunk chauffeur who was speeding. The driver worked for Dodi Fayed’s family, and Dodi was famous for courting the press. He liked to tip them off as to where he and Diana would be. In fact, he was SO nice to reporters that he provided me, the gossip columnist for Star Magazine, an expensive lunch for two at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and a Ritz bathrobe to take home, among other gifts. Dodi Fayed’s father felt guilty and embarrassed that HIS drunk driver got Diana and his own son killed, and he dedicated his life to blaming paparazzi. So Elton, wise up!
