Kate Beckinsale At The Gym

Kate Beckinsale keeps her great body in shape by working out at a Santa Monica gym. Of course, the Paparazzi know when she will arrive and how long she will work out. Two cars followed her to the gym from her home. She new these guys were on her tail and when she arrived at the gym because she bolted from the passenger side of her vehicle into the rear entrance.

It seems that every place in LA has a snitch. A number of the bigger Paparazzi Agencies boast about how much cash they use to payoff their informants each month. Within twenty minutes of Kate arriving at the gym two more vehicles arrived. Probably called by someone inside the gym.

But, the gym staff was prepared for the Paparazzi. The door to the patio which is usually open so that Kate can do some exercise outdoors was shut and guarded. So, all the photographers could do was wait for her to finish her workout. They would try to photographer her when she went to her awaiting car. But, she surprised everyone by sprinting to her car. No one got any decent photos.

No photos mean Agency bosses will be pissed. So, a follow started. Kate is one of the better celebrities when it comes to the Paparazzi wagon trains that care becoming more common in LA. The wagon trains can turn into high speed law breaking chases if the celebrity starts running. But, Kate's driver kept to the speed limit as the three or four vehicles followed her home.

Another day in LA with the Paparazzi.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Spend a Quiet Week in Mexico

Tom Cruise his kids and new girlfriend Katie Holmes vacationed together in Mexico this past weekend. They actually got there on Thursday of last week and left yesterday for LA. They stayed at a very fancy resort on the shore about an hour south of Cancun. According to people who stayed at the same hotel as the celebrity couple, the two were having a great time with each other.

Tom, Katie and the kids would get up early each morning to go to the beach for a few hours. In the afternoon it was quiet time and in the evening it was an early dinner. On Friday they went snorkeling for a few hours. On Saturday they were spotted boarding a boat to spend another few hours snorkeling.

A few LA photographers from two different agencies got wind of the couple's Mexican vacation and hopped a plane early Saturday morning hoping to catch the couple as they came back from their snorkeling trip. But, the couple never showed back at the hotel.

For five frantic days the Paparazzi combed the area looking for Cruise and Holmes. But, the photographers had no luck finding their prey. Though, on Wednesday one lucky photographer got a few photos of Tom and Katie boarding a private plane back to LA .

Tom has always been very Anti-Paparazzi. As one photographer told me Tom can smell when they are around him. Well, his nose seemed to be working overtime this weekend. It seems that Tom got wind of the pending arrival of the Paparazzi photographers and switched to another hotel a few miles away. Tom seemed to know every move the Paparazzi made and was never around for the guys to catch him. He had a great trip with Katie and the kids and not one photo was taken.

Goldie Hawn Goes Shopping in Malibu

Goldie Hawn was spotted shopping recently in Malibu. She had to run the gauntlet of Paparazzi stationed there. It is starting to look like a red carpet event with all the photographers that hang out in the Malibu shopping area.

Goldie was a little shocked but very sweet by all the attention. She is the consummate professional even when she isn't working. She really knows how to work the crowd.

A Very Pregnant Denise Richards Spotted In Malibu

As you have probably read, actress Denise Richards has filed for divorce from Charlie Sheen. Because of this she is celebrity news and the Paparazzi come flying whenever they hear that she is around.

A few days ago she was with her baby and another friend shopping in Malibu when the European Paparazzi found her. The only thing that seems to concern a lot of these photographers are that they get a photograph. They care about nothing else.

It was of little concern to a lot of these guys that Denise is very pregnant. They pounced on her and photographed her all the way from the shopping area to her vehicle. Stood around her like Indians circling a wagon train and took photo after photo. If she tripped or fell, probably a lot of these guys would just keep clicking away.

She just went about her business with big friendly smile loading her baby and packages without acknowledging the photographers.
