Having to endure a wait for an hour for Miss Jessica Simpson, event photogs had only 5 minutes to shoot pop turned country artist as she launched her new Fragrance, Fancy at the Macy's South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, CA.
The last time I did an event at this location was with Fergie. For Simpson, this was a bit more subdued event but more controlled than Fergie. We only had 5 minutes to take our shots. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a battle with the security and Macy employees standing in the way of our shoot. But as professional photographers, we still were able to get our shots.
Is this really my fragrance?
We were trying to get Jessica to take off her sweater to show off her fashion, but I guess it was a bit cold here in Southern California.
Thanks so much for the publicist trying to make sure that we were accommodated. Unfortunately, her hands were tied with the Macy's store telling her that the photo and media opp was limited to 5 minutes.
Oh well, I guess we'll just have to get a whiff of Jessica's Fancy to remind us about the quickie event we did with over 10 photogs driving more than 30 miles just to shoot this event with no "Over The Shoulder" shot from Jessica.
From "Finding Neverland" to "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory," Freddie Highmore has grown as an actor. Not just physically but also mentally as child actor. In his new film, "The Spiderwick Chronicles," Highmore plays twins Jared and Simon Grace who move into their great uncle Arthur Spiderwick. While living in the home, unexplained disappearances and accidents happen without any explanation in which Jared is blamed for. Trying to figure out what is causing these events, Jared, Simon and their sister Mallory (Sarah Bolger) are about to find the enchanting secrets that the Spiderwick estate holds.
There's no secret that Freddie is growing taller as demonstrated in last Thursday's premiere of film at the Paramount Theater on The Paramount Studio Lot in Hollywood. Mr. Highmore is as tall as his parents. But he can still play the dubious and lovable youthful characters in his movies.
Along for the support of the movie, Hayden Panettiere and brother Jansen made their appearance at the premiere. Looking strikingly beautiful in a red dress, Hayden's eyes had that sparkle that just makes anyone want to get to know her. Other guests included various child actors from Nickelodeon and a few from the Disney Channel.
"The Spiderwick Chronicles" opens at theaters nationwide on February 15.
