James Cameron Finally Gets His Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Avatar director James Cameron, one of my all time favorite directors, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last Friday, December 18th. Since Titanic has grossed $1.8 Billion worldwide, I would say it's about time. At the unveiling ceremony outside the historic Egyptian Theatre, Cameron was surrounded with many former and current cast members, including Zoe Saldana, Giovanni Ribisi, Michelle Rodriguez, CCH Pounder, Laz Alonso with brief speeches by Sigourney Weaver and Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger! It was quite a star-studded event.

Paris Can't Find Her Car At Kitson

Paris Hilton had an escort of 2 security guards and at least 15 paparazzi when she finished shopping at Kitson this afternoon. The pack broke up after the security guards wouldn't let the paps follow her all the way to her car by blocking the door to the garage's lower level. Most of the other paps headed back outside, but lucky for me I went to another level of the lot. A moment later Paris came back up to my level and right to where I was, because she was having trouble finding her baby blue Bently in the lot!

Lilo Lunches In Beverly Hills After India Trip

Lindsay Lohan returned to Los Angeles from her trip to India, where she was filming a documentary for the BBC on human trafficking. According to People, she also visited hospitals, handing out gifts to sick children. (Good for her!) She has tweeted it as "the most amazing time of my life." Of course, no good deed goes unpunished. Immediately upon her return the pap swarms resumed as usual. On Tuesday, a publicist let it be known that she'd be lunching at E Baldi in Beverly Hills and paps came running from every corner of the city. A lot of times paparazzi have to shoot "Hail Mary" style, meaning holding your camera over the top of the crowd of other paps and shooting blindly. I got these shots that way, and my lens was zoomed in a bit too much.

Paris, WilW, Alyssa At Seth MacFarlane's Darkside Xmas Bash

On Saturday night I was lucky enough to be covering Seth MacFarlane’s Winter Wonderland celebrating the Blu-Ray and DVD launch of FAMILY GUY SOMETHING, SOMETHING, SOMETHING DARK SIDE. It was a cold and stormy night in Hollywood. The party was at Seth's house in the Hills which was all decked out with holiday spirit. Lights on all the trees, cotton snow drenched in rain all over the grounds, and the Hills were encased in a deep fog which made it seem very otherworldly. Everyone had to be shuttled up to the property from a lot on the Strip: all the workers, musicians, carolers, and media as well as most of the guests (those without limos). A monumental task of organization made much worse by the weather. But once everything and everyone were in place, the party got rolling and it looked from the outside like a great party! Twitter royals Alyssa Milano, Wil Wheaton, Paris Hilton, and her sister Nicky (who ran in without walking the carpet), Nathan Fillion, Clare Grant, Seth Green and many more stars were all in attendance, making the rainy, cold night worth risking our lives standing in puddles next to lighting rigs.

Paris Plays Santa At Macy's

Paris Hilton helped Los Angelenos to get into the Holiday Spirit by dropping by Macy's in Glendale this evening dressed as Santa! Ms. Hilton met and posed for photos with hundreds fans who purchased one of her fragrance products. Several of whom cried when facing their favorite star... just like the real Santa! Unfortunately, sitting on Santa's lap was not allowed.

Rihanna Returns Ready To Rock

Seeing Chris Brown back in court got me wondering how Rihanna is doing bouncing back from the whole ordeal. Luckily I got the chance to find out first hand. Rihanna flew into LAX late Thursday night and I was there to capture a few images of her arrival back into town. She looked great, as you can see, as she gears up to perform at the American Music Awards on Sunday. I think that paparazzi like myself were the only people in Los Angeles to see the both of them today. Chris had flown out earlier, after his hearing, so there may be some other airport workers who saw them both, but I'd say that is going to be a rare occurrence... even in Hollywood.

Chris Brown Gets Good Report In Court Today

Chris Brown dealt a blow to his critics today by receiving an "extremely favorable" report from probation officials at Los Angeles Criminal Court this afternoon. It was his first followup hearing regarding his felony assault conviction since his sentencing. According to his lawyer, Mark Geragos, Brown has already taken a huge bite out of his debt to society by completing over 100 hours of community service and paying his fees and fines. Oh how I wish I could spin this in a negative light, but I've been butting my head against a window all day and can't think of how to do it.
