Funny how things go full circle. Paps on the beaches of Barbados have a hard time getting decent shots of celebs with 400s and 600s under their towels as they lie basking. There's no hiding the fact that gear like that means only one thing. A retired snapper's son now works for a tabloid (The Sun - a bit like the National Enquirer) and to get his celeb sets he takes his girlfriend along to the beaches and carries only a top level point and shoot. That way he gets closer to the A-listers he's identified, and then puts his girlfriend between himself and the celeb. For all intents and purposes, he's happily snapping away at his chicklet. I expect this rouse has a limited shelf life though. Next time on Pap Those Celebs - 'Gee Mr Douglas, will you please hold my baby so I can get a nice shot of him ?'....
