If you’re familiar with comedienne Chelsea Handler, you might know of her #1 rated show on the E! Channel. Yesterday, Claudio, Ryan, Guilherme and I went to a taping of her show, Chelsea Lately. We all love the show, but we were a bit disappointed by the whole experience. First of all, the security was a nightmare. I think it’s easier to get into a White House State Dinner! The security guards were rude and power hungry and …basically ridiculous. They manhandled us like we were going to federal prison! Despite the fact that they made me remove my belt (I almost broke into a rendition of “Pants on the Ground“), I was STILL able to sneak my camera inside. What morons. Once we got inside, the guy who was in charge of warming up the audience was a complete tool and very annoying. Throughout the entire show he was waving his arms around like a banshee and really ruining the whole experience. He also made it very difficult for me to take any good photos. LOL. I still managed to sneak a few in though by holding the camera up discreetly. (In my inflated head, that’s what my public wants!) When Chelsea came to our row to sign autographs during a commercial break, I got a little cocky and got caught taking a picture. After the next break they escorted me out of the show (it was over anyway, there was only 1 minute left). When I got to the lobby, dumbfuck security guard #2, asked for my FILM!! I laughingly asked him if he knew what century it was and turned around and walked out the door. He started to follow me, but I pretended to talk on my phone (which I also brought in) and he gave up. Great security Chelsea! What a way to ruin a show! Such drama for a camera. Sheesh!! Every time I watch the show now, I’m going to think of those poor saps in the audience having to endure rude security guards and an annoying warm up act. Oh well, just another day in Lala Land!

Guilherme is visiting from Brazil for a while and hasn’t had any Brazilian food since he left, so the other night we went to the little
churrascaria down the street for
picanha, then topped it off with some
Pinkberry. Muito bom!!
At The Grove, site of many a photo
Why can’t strangers ever hold a camera steady???
Happy with his picana and Guarana!
Guess who swatted his tail against wet paint? Add it to the list!

You will never change Carey! Btw, the idea of you breaking into “Pants on the floor” is so hilarious!!! I would have died of a laugh riot.
poor lil Andy alseep with no pizza – lol. security guards don’t usually come from the upper 10% of the SAT test gang – in fact, they prolly never heard of the SAT! peace, Al
You were actually giving them publicity, and they can be more civil about it. As for one, I do enjoy your photos of celibrities, but I have been wondering aloud when you would be caught, lol. I sneekingly took pictures too and one time was warned by security. lol. Well, that might part of the fun and challenges. Just do not get caught at the beginning of shows, you hear? smile, gly.
Well – I’ve never heard of this show. I have no idea how you can sneak a camera in especially when they frisk you. I was at a concert once and this guy in our section had a SLR w/ a massive lens, he wasn’t media (who were all tucked into another section on the floor).
I guess you lucked out this time without getting your camera being confiscated? Hey, little Andy been burning some midnight oil lately? What a cute snapshot of him catching a cat nap!
So I’m curious; where did you hide the camera so security couldn’t find it?
There’s something mysteriously hot about Chelsea.
Don’t think I haven’t been following the stories from my Favorite Fabulous on the beat reporter!
Nice! I know she’s a crazy biatch but I love her. Waiting for her 2nd book to arrive but also trying to get tickets to see her when she swings into Radio City.
i think they have those pen cameras, with video recording features.
btw, could you tell andy that what great collection he has?
Your ninja skills as an entertainment photojournalist are unmatched!
Yeah, where’d you hide the camera?
@Dezinerdreams - Sorry everyone…I posted my replies to these 2 days ago and just realized they never posted. Thanks Vivek!
@pukemeister - At least Andy had his lunch the next day!
@stevew918 - Yeah, they take their jobs way too seriously. Thanks Steve.
@ElusiveWords - It’s all about creating a diversion Matt!
@CurryPuffy - They would have had to shoot me or tase me to get my camera Gary. LOL
@Roadlesstaken - Alex, I actually wrapped the camera in my jacket and placed it around the metal detector, while creating a diversion by intentionally leaving metal in my pockets
@James - I’ll let her know you think so the next time I see her James. She was too skinny I thought.
@pamfitz99 - Thanks Pam! Hope to see you at The HC soon!
@Utoppia@datingish - Thanks! Her upcoming tour sounds pretty good!
@Renatojr3 - I actually have one of those video pens too Jon. I forgot to charge it though.
@wherethefishlives - I do it for my public Sam. LOL
@curtainsopen - I actually wrapped the camera in my
jacket and placed it around the metal detector, while creating a
diversion by intentionally leaving metal in my pockets
@CareyGLY - Oh you sneaky fella!
Very clever with hiding the camera. Didnt the security have any authority to take the camera from you though?
@Steve Locksmiths - Nope…they have no authority over me!
I was doing research for a solution about erectile dysfunction Cheap Viagra and I found a funny video. In the video there was a dog similar to the picture in this link, the dog was a real artist. As he moved his tail he made so beautiful paintings.
