Entertainment News

This is one equation that has always baffled the race that took domination after the dinosaurs died. When you flip through entertainment news channels, you come across many couples who have a good number of years between their birth years. A couple of famous examples would be Katie Holmes-Tom Cruise and Demi Moore-Ashton Kutcher. These couples are known in the celebrity gossip circles. They are also known as couples who have a yawning age gap. There is no strain on their relationship because of the age gap, but readers of celeb gossip columns sometimes wonder aloud why a man falls for a woman much younger in age and vice versa. The answer, though not definite, is out there somewhere. Let's look at some possibilities.


A younger person is generally happier. This appeals to the older partner. Entertainment news columns are awash with such stories. A younger person feels excited about life, sees the positive aspect of things and is more forthcoming about hope in the future. The older generation, which tends to be cynical about things, takes a liking to this attitude. They feel drawn more by the vitality and life force in the person than the personality of the person. It's like living life anew through someone. Of course, the older man who dates a girl much younger to him finds himself at the receiving end of extensive celeb gossip coverage. But some things in life are worth, they are heard saying!
Younger people make you feel smarter. Ask any celebrity who features on entertainment sites on a regular basis and you will know that the older partner feels more responsible, more protective and more involved when dating a young partner. There is always this factor of having things to teach your partner. Because the older person is more experience in the ways of life, he or she is in a more capable position of handling the relationship with maturity and concern. The limelight shed by celebrity gossip sites and portals are something to deal with as well. Keeping a balance in the relationship, despite the continued media glare, is one such issue.
Then there are those entertainment news junkies who date a celebrity just to get in the celebrity gossip circles. They have no intention of taking the relationship to a more serious level. They are casual about life and take things as they come. In that case, it becomes easier to connect with a younger celebrity because he or she is not accustomed to the machinations of these media whores. The younger succumbs to the charms of the older. But such relationships are not stable. Before long you will come across break-up alerts on the celeb gossip sites, ringing the death knell of the relationship. But all is not bad and bleak. There are some who fall for the innocent charms that the young have embedded on their faces. There is no greater lure than an innocent face and a sharp mind! It's all about chemistry and some May-December couples have oodles of that!

Celebrity Gossip

Colin Drummond, the former Producer of TMZ Celebrity News is a leader in the entertainment industry with extensive experience in film production, prominent business connections and a penchant and knack for capturing the everyday actions of fascinating people in the public eye. Drummond is now CEO and founder of a recently launched entertainment news agency dedicated to distributing photographs, video and humanistic news stories about politicians, and celebrities in the Washington, DC arena and worldwide.

Who makes the headlines and how does an entertainment news agency provide up-to-the-minute exclusive video and photos of headlining politicians, celebrities and public officials? Dorothy Dutch asked probing questions of Colin Drummond to get to the heart of the paparazzi phenomena. For those of us who unabashedly enjoy flipping through celebrity photo stories on line or off, it can be even more satisfying if we understand the world of the candid camera.

This interview session is aimed at the journalists who give us our daily doses of unethical behavior, celebrity photos, gossip, news articles, and entertainment news even before prime time entertainment shows enter our living rooms. Drummond's answers offer a surprising eye view of a world behind the candid cameras of the paparazzi.

Dorothy Dutch: Are paparazzi also writers or mainly just photographers?

Colin Drummond: Most are photographers or former photographers who go on to start their own agencies. They work at a day rate (standard pay for a day). This is known as freelancing. It's better for them because they still own their images or videos. Most paparazzi are freelance photographers who work for agencies who sell their photos and the agency takes a cut. A good agency has a strong sales team and can get photos on T.V. shows, magazines, billboards, and even inside movie marketing material.

DD: What qualifications must a paparazzo have?

CD: A pap has to have workable camera equipment, knowledge of celebrities, know how to take photos, and be able to ask great questions. For equipment they need plenty of camera gear, a fast SLR camera, a few good lens, (very costly) and a HD Video camera.

DD: Can anyone do it?

CD: Yes and No. Anyone can get lucky and capture a great picture by being in the right place at the right time, but doing it day after day requires hard work and dedication to your craft. DD: The paparazzi are perceived as "pests" to be avoided because they will do anything to get a picture. Are they that bad?

CD: Not really. Those who have been in the business for awhile have good relationships with all the celebrities. They usually know how close they can get to someone or who they need to use their long lens on.

DD: Is it true that they will literally provoke a subject into anger in order to get a more candid, unflattering shot and if not, why do you think the paparazzi are so disliked that fights break out?

CD: No. Fights are usually initiated by overzealous bodyguards or hangers on who really don't understand the business and think they are helping the stars out. There have been times when bodyguards have even been fired for getting too aggressive

DD: What stars and famous people have you photographed who actually enjoy working with the paparazzi?

CD: Hands down, Tom Cruise, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Hugh Jackman, Larry King.

DD: Which celebrities do you know who want to avoid them?

CD: Gwenyth Paltrow, Scarlett Johanson, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Cher, Barbara Streisand DD: Do politicians on the Washington scene resist photographers?

CD: No, at first politicos didn't understand the paparazzi game in DC, but now they realize they are public figures and since technology has evolved they should try to use it to their advantage.

DD: Is it different following high level political figures than it is to photograph film and television stars?

CD: Yes, they often look at you as if to ask, "Why are you taking my photo on the streets? I'm no celebrity." But these days all politicians know they have to be visual to appeal to the younger market and to represent their districts. Some are even flattered that their constituents are seeing them in magazines.

DD: If an agency covers a geographic area like Washington, DC, do the paparazzi follow the celebs and politicians as they leave town or go out of the country?

CD: Not necessarily, but if a politician has a great (hot) story, you can bet that he or she will be tailed. The freelance photographer will pay for his or her own transportation, but if working with an agency, the agency will pay airfare, food and lodging.

DD: Are paparazzi invited to any major events or do they just have to wait around outside until all the celebrities enter or emerge?

CD: Some moonlight and shoot red carpet events, but the real hard core photographers don't like these functions because they are controlled situations and the photos aren't worth as much as candid street photos.

DD: I have also heard that they do not care about the laws restricting photographs of celebs to public places. They are willing to pay the fines in order to get great shots. Is this generally the case?

CD: This is not usually true because most know that magazines will not buy photos of celebrities in restricted areas. Agencies also prefer to keep their names in good graces with the celebrities and their public relations people, so agencies will not jeopardize that standing.

DD: Can you tell me about a personal experience you have had with a celeb that you will never forget?

Once I was working on Paul McCartney during his huge divorce scandal. As five other paparazzi where waiting outside his house in NYC Paul just walked out and none of the other five saw him leave. I followed him for about a block and then he stopped and posed for me, thinking those where the photos I wanted. I let him walk through Manhattan without photographing him and he went to have dinner. I just waited outside, and then when he came back outside, he said he had given me the photos so why was I still following him. I said, "Sir Paul, I am not taking anymore photos of you out of respect, but I am working on an assignment for a newspaper in London and they want to know everything you do today". He started laughing and asked me what newspaper it was, and I told him it was The Daily Mail and he laughed again.

DD: Is there competition from the general public (with all the digital cameras) who are submitting great shots to various publications?

CD: Of course, but the difference is, the general public does not consistently know when or have the patience to take the really great shot. Sometimes you have to let the celebrity do something which the public is waiting to see. For example, a new couple who is rumored to be dating but they keep denying it and the general public sees them in the streets out an about. But, the best photo of them would be taken if the photographer knows to wait until they hold hands, or even kiss. Big Money Shot!

DD: Do you have a staff of writers to incorporate the news with the celebrity photos?

CD: Yes we have a few writers, and try to team up our writers within their strengths. One might love music and will write on all the musical artists. Another might love female fashions and would get that story, but most of all everyone is celebrity and political news clued.

Online Entertainment News - Myths About the Maligned Paparazzi

Old as they may be, the magazines and periodicals you browse through in your dentist's waiting room or at the hair dresser are endlessly fascinating, especially the celebrity photos, news articles and entertainment issues. If you love following the stars, political giants, and the lives of the rich and famous, then getting the latest celebrity news is also as easy now as going on line. No subscriptions are even necessary.
Numerous internet, entertainment, and celebrity gossip websites feature astoundingly interesting photographs of your favorite people. News stories revealing their lives, loves and illicit behaviors make each famous character come to life and sometimes the pictures really do speak louder than words. Each publication has its specialties and its own editorial personality. And all the fun stuff is reflected in imagery, story presentation and the interactive nature of the website with viewers, users, and advertisers.


But it's the photographs of the famous and the infamous in candid, unguarded moments that are the secrets to holding our rapt attention. Online entertainment news agencies have brought the evil paparazzi back into the limelight - surrounded by myth and perhaps unduly maligned.
The Mythical Paparazzi
What would we do without them?
Some of the most exciting features on celebrity entertainment news sites are the pictures taken by paparazzi photographers. The reputation of these perceived annoying invaders is well known and they have even been called mosquitoes because they can be so annoying. But it should be remembered that when we are enjoying the published stories and the great paparazzi photos of the people we find so fascinating in film, television, and news, we are actually enjoying the results of the hard work of the paparazzi. And many of the legends and myths about them can be dispelled.
Who are they really?
Paparazzi is an Italian term used to refer to photojournalists who specialize in candid photographs of celebrities, politicians and other prominent people. They are really skilled and imaginative picture takers who tend to be independent contractors, unaffiliated with mainstream media organizations. Given their more innovative natures and technical abilities, the paparazzi should really be considered free lance photographers. They not only supply their work to various publications and the media, but they are attached to celebrity internet sites or online news agencies.
Are they lawbreakers who are hated by the rich and famous?
Freelance photographers as a group are law abiding citizens and they are only permitted by the First Amendment to snap pictures of public figures as long as they (the celebs) are in public places. And if you think from all the vitriol that photo journalists are hated by their subjects, that's not entirely true either. Most celebrities understand that fantastic photos will keep them viewed in magazines and entertainment web sites. Many actually welcome and even invite the exposure.
Do the paparazzi really hang out in trees?
It's easier for a photographer to trace celebrities' schedules and either beat them to their events or wait outside their favorite coffee spots or gyms. But, even if the paparazzo does not climb a tree, the job is still not an easy one due to hours and hours of waiting around on sore feet in either freezing cold or the hot sun to get just the right angle or to meet a prominent person who may never show up.
Do they make a lot of money?
If the subject of the news articles is involved in a big scandal or the photographer gets a great shot of a celebrity doing something really extraordinary, there might be a higher value to the pictures. Every paparazzo dreams of such a scenario. A posed shot is not the goal. The ultimate challenge for the photographer is to catch the famed in normal movements like walking down a street or drinking coffee, giving a child a piggy-back ride, or holding hands with a loved one. There is more compensation for outstanding candid camera shots than for anything posed.
Are they all uneducated degenerates?
It may come as a surprise but most paparazzi are actually college graduates, former photo journalists, business owners, school teachers, and even doctors. They are drawn to the field because of their fascination with human interest stories and the resulting combination of creative photography with expert reporting - tantamount to the perfect storm that results in truly artistic journalism.
Next time you pick up that celebrity magazine or entertainment news publication at your dentist's office, local barber shop or hair salon - or you discover the fantastic views and viewpoints at your favorite online entertainment news stop, keep in mind that the mythological evil paparazzi had a major hand in bringing you that enjoyment. There is always more than one side to every story and a tall tale holds no interest in today's world without imaginative photography.

The Role of a Journalist in World News Today

It is a general fact that every journalist out there try's to find the most relevant world news. But it certainly is hard to find one. It involves a number of factors. From media sources to the event and from asking questions to taking answers, everything has to be on time and properly planned. Therefore, it will not be wrong to state that it is difficult to find news rather than writing news. News topics change every day! Today you might be looking for news that talks about technology while tomorrow the hottest topic would be some celebrity news. It is for this reason that a journalist is valued so high in today's society. Journalist is one whose role is an increased one from mere providing news. Now the journalists of all societies have turned to be social workers. They do not only highlight the issues but also provide suggestions and advises on the subject matter.

The increased role of these journalists cannot be overlooked in anyway. Now that we have come to know how important a journalist is for a society; I would like to share some quick while worth mentioning tips on How to find the latest news? If you are a journalist or are planning to go for this particular profession, you should be aware that this field is not limited to any particular idea. Therefore, your expertise should be based on generalized knowledge and not specialized. For instance; you should have knowledge to interview a sports icon as well as a politician. You should be aware of the code of conduct for both of them. This is one factor that has been troubling a lot of people out there. But I hope this is now clear now. Secondly, if you are out there to find news, you should start looking for common people instead of only celebrity stars or politicians.



The reason for this is that these days' people prefer to talk about common people and are actually tired of all those political news and mess. In simple words, you might get a better audience while writing on common people subjects rather than trying to find high profile people. One of the news sources for this has been a news agency with the name of News World Wide. This news source is doing a fabulous job in regards of including the most common news of the hour and day. There news scope is not limited to any one niche of news but they cover a wide range of topics. All these topics are addressed in the simplest way that an ordinary person can understand. World news today is certainly different what it was yesterday. By this I mean that the intensified role of technology news in general and computer technology news in particular has reshaped lives. Yesterday news was only about the current political happenings while today it covers a big deal of aspects.
