Feel like giving up: Justin Bieber and the hate culture
It’s been a confusing month. It’s been a confusing year. These are very confusing times. It was only a couple of years back when Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber and more where just little rich kids running around Hollywood and I was chasing behind them (weird…) Now they do crazy different shit and people…

I pulled a Britney: the freelance rollercoaster is pretty wild
When you freelance all your life, it is bound to have some ups and downs. My birthday month was definitely an up. I dedicated all my time and energy on a project (TRF) that when it ended, it felt like going down on the Dragster (Cedar Pointe) reaching top speed and in an instant, it…

TRF: Basking in the glory of nothingness
I have no idea what is going to happen to Tijuana Rumble Fest, all I know is that it happened and it changed me forever. Yes, I am is in serious debt and no profits were made. But there was some success. There was never an accurate count of people that went to the festival, but…

From Paparazzo to Festival Organizer and More: Henry Rollins + TRF
I had a great birthday. One of the best I ever had. The most memorable birthdays I ever had was when I got Super Smash Bros. for the N-64 when I was 13. The other was three years ago when I turned 25, quit my job and went on a road trip. Then this last one…

Happy Birthday Megan Fox! Thanks for destroying my childhood
I don’t give a shit about Megan Fox, much less now that fucking Michael Bay cast her as April O’Neil. I know, I know…Megan Fox is hot, but there are a lot of better looking women with much more talent than her. And for TMNT they didn’t even try to make her look similar to…

The last day as a paparazzo: Going full freelance
It seems forever ago when I decided to quit my job as a staff writer for Soccerly and went full freelance, but that was only 8 months ago. The idea was to combine all my talents and work many different jobs. Many said it would be impossible to do all of them at once, now I’m…

I’m so busy but all I want to do is watch House of Cards: Robin Wright at LAX.
So much work, so little time. Or maybe I’m just lazy. 2014 started out slow with my articles getting rejected so I started to look for more gigs everywhere. But after many rejections, sources started publishing me again and work started to pour in. Suddenly, it was February and I found myself overwhelmed by work…

Shia LaBeouf announces retirement from public life: Are we supposed to cry?
I had no idea about his plagiarized scandal, but you can tell that Shia doesn’t take criticism like a man. Some artists fall into a plagiarized scandal but they don’t act like he did. For example, when Coldplay plagiarized Joe Satriani. They settle that scandal like grown men with an out-of-court settlement, instead of whining…

Much More Than a Paparazzo: I’m Ted Danson
So much has changed since I was let go from my staff job as a paparazzo back in March of 2011. I wrote a story that same day that I got “fired” and thought about writing a book re-telling my celebrity encounters as I continued to work for the same agency as a freelance photographer.…

A Poem for Snoop; Here_Comes_The_King is on Reddit once more
Originally posted on Poem_for_your_sprog: Snoop Whilst wandering a Christmas day (Adrift in dreams of far away), I came across a man who wore A dozen hats, or maybe more – ‘Good morrow, friend!’ I called and tipped My cap to which the other dipped His own in some distinguished stoop, And said…

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr Broke Up! Sad Face :(
And I found out about it because Orlando Bloom was on the Colbert Report. That’s how out of the loop I am and how bad I can be with catchy celebrity news titles. But hey, this is not about the celebrity, is about the experiences I had with them, so yeah, it’s about me. As…

Macaulay Fuckin’ Culkin was in Tijuana!
A serious WTF?!?!?! Culkin was in motherfucking TJ! This guy is an elusive creature. Almost all child stars are, except Elijah Wood, that guy is the nicest guy ever. There’s probably more, but I can’t think of any child Hollywood star that is sane beside Elijah. Can’t wait until Suri Cruise grows up into a…

Apparently Innocent Miley Cyrus Did Some Controversial Shit
It’s so weird to see everyone talking about Miley on the VMAs and what she did during her live show. Everyone on my facebook, reddit and other internet sites I frequent can’t stop talking about it. I haven’t seen the video, but the screen caps are enough to tell me what she did. But how…

Who the Fuck is Lake Bell?
That’s exactly what I asked my boss when he told me to go to LAX to cover Lake Bell. I also asked him what kind of name is Lake Bell? He said that he had a hunch she would be famous sometime soon. And here I am 4 years later watching her go on The…

(Donald Faison, Zach Braff and Bob Saget) He Sucks Dick for Coke
Hey, remember how in my last post I said I was going post about a real celebrity…. Well, I lied. Two days after I saw Ashley Tisdale and got excited over nothing, I saw some girls getting excited over someone worse. It was after shooting the guys from Scrubs that I walked back to terminal…

(Ashley Tisdale) Getting Excited Over Nothing
Well, what can I say about Ashley Tisdale? Like I mentioned before, I had no idea which celebrity was who when I started this job, and I guess I still have no idea who Ashley Tisdale is, besides her work on High School Musical. I have never seen High School Musical either. I’ve watched one…

(Natalie Portman) My First Disappointment and My First Car Chase
I should start by saying that I’m a huge Natalie Portman fan (her real last name is Hershlag, something I’ve known since I was 14). As a teenager I was completely in love with her, and not because of her great acting, but because my biggest crush in school resembled her. Needless to say, I…

(Jessica Simpson) Graduated College and Started My Paparazzo Job
I graduated in May 2008 from Saint John’s University in Minnesota and I was moving to Hollywood, Ca. for my new job. My brother got a two bedroom apartment on the corner of Curson Ave. and Rosewood Ave., rent was $2,000 dollars which we split 50/50 though he had a bigger room. First order of…

(Angelina Jolie, David Beckham, Patrick Dempsey, Nicole Richie) Entry #3.2 the rest of my summer of 2007
Back to College The rest of my 2007 summer was all work and it went by fast. After proving to myself, my brother and my agency, that I was capable of doing celebrity videos and pictures they offered me a job to come back after I graduated college. My agency let me borrow their camera…
