My Entire Adult Life I have been in Magazines and Blogs: 2014 Year Summary.
2015 is around the corner. My thirties are coming up soon. And I am still wondering what I am doing with my life. That’s what my life looked like on February 2011, a few months before quitting my job. That was the last month I had LAX duty and after that I relinquished to freelance…

Axl Rose is not on my Top 10 – Axl Attacks at LAX
Everyone that writes about celebrity gossip were not on the scene when things went down. Every once in a while, paparazzi will get a call from a tabloid reporter to get some details. I got one call asking me about Maggie Gyllenhaal, her daughter Ramona and her husband Peter Sarsgaard. The reporter asked me if…

From West LA to Tijuana – From West Philly to Bel Air (Alfonso Ribeiro)
I’m still not sure how I ended up in Tijuana, I’m still not sure how I ended up being a writer. My days in Tijuana are mostly a blur and just like that, it’s been 2 years and a half in this city. TijuanaAdventure is about to become 1 year old. It’s been a year since…

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…

Celebrity is a state of mind: Macaulay Culkin in Tijuana again
Fame is in the eye of the beholder. There are so many celebrities now a days and so much information online that we can give ourselves the luxury to love or hate as many we want. You know how many fucks I ever gave for the kids of Gossip Girl? I saw all of them,…

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…

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…

(Paris Hilton) Oh yeah.. I also saw her on the summer of 2007
I’m not done talking about the summer of 2007 just yet…I forgot that I also saw Paris Hilton and her jail drama. Back in June 2007 when I was still an amateur paparazzo and only worked doing video I covered the Paris Hilton story with my brother and so did a million others. Paris lived…

(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…

(Hugh Jackman) My First Set of Exclusive Paparazzo Pictures, 3.1
Is Wolverine gay? If you do the math… it makes sense. There’s a lot of rumors that Jackman is gay and there’s a reason the rumors exist, the man is a perfect specimen! He started his career in the gayest form of acting possible, musicals. He is extremely good looking and well groomed. His wife…
