Letterman Arrivals:
Ed Sullivan Theater
August 4, 2005
Working in this NYC summer heat is like working in a hot bowl of soup.
That being said, 35+ photographers waited diligently in this heat for arrivals/departures of Jessica Simpson. Show tapes at 4:30pm, she arrived at 3pm.
Mrs. Simpson comes out of her Pathfinder in a GREAT white dress, hair done up, dressed to the nines.... and proceeds to enter the stage door, holding her bodyguards hand, and never look towards the press area. WTF? All she needed to do was turn for a split second and we could have got the shot. Waiting in this heat, packed tight in the pit and to get that as a photo op.... This was not a good sign.
Nick Lachey arrives and runs into the theater. Strike 2.
Vince Vaughn arrives and runs into the theater. Strike 3.
But... when Jessica exits around 5:45pm, she's in an all white pants and blazer outfit and she comes right over to the photo pit! Actually, she was almost too close. A lot of people were over glassed expecting a run n' gun. She posed up a storm, smiled, waved and blew kisses. Good stuff.
Although Nick and Jessica wouldn't pose together, we had plenty of good shots.
GREAT MOMENT:
As Jessica's band exited the theater, they stood right in front of the photo pit. We were waiting for Jessica to exit, and they blocked our line of sight.
Paul from Getty asked them nicely to move "because we're trying to work"
The band members proceeded to laugh at this request and one guy went as far as to say "I'll give you a round house to the head"
Without missing a beat, Paul responds "Let me see your knuckles, they look as smooth as a baby's bottom. When you knuckles look banged up like these (Paul shows him is hand), then I know your a fighter".
The only response the band member could give was flipping the bird to Paul thru the tinted window of their van...as Paul stood their blowing kisses towards him.
Absolutely Priceless!!!
