Kylie Minogue goes bare!

That will set google ablaze I don't think! For probably the one and only time I'm linking a photo I didn't take.But because it is just the perfect funny press/celeb pic I thought it worth blogging. Also Facebook apparently banned it!

Kylie grabs bear's necessties
There seems to be no picture credit anywhere so apologies to whomever took it, if I find out I will edit page.
  I doubt Kylie had any idea what she was doing, her expression does make the pic, the eyeline is drawn from there to the microphone; also the bear seems to have an almighty grin!!

Fernando Torres Liverpool's Number 9...9...9!

I updated the terrace chant with two extra 9's for obvious reason's! Maybe FT is signing for the Police team? Or possibly the Officer is filling in a betting slip "Torres to join Chelsea" and knows something we don't? Who knows?!
Well apparently he is being "distressed" and "harrassed" according to his solicitor. Actually he was complaining about the horrible photographer after ringing police to me! Shock horror! A rich footballer complaining who'd have thought it?
Apparently a new law was introduced into UK on Monday,whereby celebs/famous people can't be photographed on a public street, an "invasion of privacy" seemingly.Or maybe it's Liverpool FC's dictatorship towards freelance photographers?!
I would think a multi million pound footballer,returning from winning the world cup; amidst transfer speculation and with a brand new Aston Martin DB something or other would be public interest lol!
Maybe it's me but doesn't releasing an autobiography say you want publicity and everyone to be interested in your life!!
Still it's not everyday you get to have a verbal sparring about law with a top solicitor(Schillings).
 Well 3 papers may well have used the folowing pics and next day would be forgotten.Now I release them to the web for all to use as they wish forever.

Update!!
 Liverpool FC have been complaining via their solicitors yet again! This time they want this blog removing! It contains allegations and deformation apparently! So here's a competition for readers of this blog. First person to email with the deformatory allegations contained in this article wins a prize. Purely because they don't exist! Liverpool FC seem to have some kind of vendetta against freelance photographers, solicitors letters ,harassing photographers at the training ground etc. Maybe they would find it more productive to concentrate on their team actually winning something this year! So Dot Cotton if you read this,better luck next time.!

Shame they couldn't name check me or the blog. Or even check their facts.
This blog is my opinion only and not legal fact or written on a tablet of  stone on a burning bush.

Katie Price/Jordan wins Pullitzer prize....

...And thus I awoke in a sweat from a nightmare! Apologies to my English teacher for starting a sentence with "and".
Katie Price launches yet another book! How does she find the time to come up with ideas to give to her ghost writer?! In between weddings,tanning sessions and botox treatment! She is on a week long UK book tour(of coastal towns!!),having started in London(sea?) and hit Blackpool(one out of two) I went along to the Doncaster signing(being careful not to fall in the sea),she made her grand entrance after 30 minute wait in the glamorous attire of a grey tracksuit! Photographers were given a minute of time and herded out! Thanks Katie you really know how to stage a photo op!
These so called celebs start a publicity tour in London wearing almost nothing, then us fame starved togs up North get a dingy tracksuit! Marvellous, maybe the climate outside of London is too much for them.

Party in The Park

Radio Aire's annual pop gig was at the weekend, 70,000 free tickets!! Take note BRMB this is how you organise a free event without chaos!
After the has beens and wish they were agains (Lee Ryan Dane Bowers Damage etc)were some decent acts.I spent most of my time avoiding the organiser and other snappers as I was using a pseudonym and my cover was wafer thin! Leeds Council banned me from their events 5 years ago for the sin of going against artists' wishes! Can you class Rachel Stevens as an artist?
Alesha Dixon and gorgeous Pixie Lott went down well as did The Saturdays-although after seeing Una topless recently in the papers my concentration drifted. Yes some of them needed to learn how to look happy and Frankie needs a good dinner down her,but a good little pop group all the same. I cringed watching Beverley Knight from backstage(woo)I imagine 70,000 fans going "Who?" at least had they have done ,the silence for her would have been broken.

X-citing day!

Bad pun,recently in Manchester was the last auditions for upcoming series of X Factor. With Cheryl Cole laid up with a slice of lettuce for company, it fell to Nicole Scherzinger, singer and racing driver wag, to be the extra judge. Paps were faling over themselves to get pics,on a hot sunny day it was good condtions for hanging around watching filming.The appearance of a Corrie actor(Andy Whyment)"auditioning" as part of   the soap was bizarre. A TV show within a TV show?!

Coming soon to a TV screen near you,"Kirky" on X Factor, cant be any worse than Diana Vickers!

Press cuttings

With recent posts of my photography exploits, thought I'd post some published shots from the weekend. First was a Pic from Coronation St.Wedding in The Sun on Saturday,link here;
Corrie Wedding

Then Monday my mundane trip to the Newsagents was brightened by 4 pics in 3 papers of a model I photographed in a fountain in Sheffield a few weeks ago. I did the shoot with sending them to papers in mind. All it needed was a hot day. Voila Sunday was billed as hottest day of the year!!
Express,Star and Mirror all used the same pic. This is from Daily Mirror. The small pic of two girls in bikinis is also mine from a previous shoot.

Roy and Hayley come a cropper?

Filming took place at Heaton hall,Heaton Park Manchester Friday for the wedding of Roy and Hayley Cropper. On a hot sunny day it was interesting to watch characters you see on TV every week. As a photographer they are merely actors to me not celebroties, but some park walkers thrust their babies into cast members faces for a photograph. Why a 2 year old child would wish to be photographed with Roy Cropper is a mystery. 
Corrie "lesbians " actresses Sacha Parkinson and Brooke  Vincent had a fit of giggles which made for animated pictures,one of which I have included on the blog. Asked Brooke Vincent to pose with an England flag,as newspapers will be wanting such images come Sunday,sadly diva tendencies took over and she wouldn't oblige."Not allowed to" is the offical response, translated into Press speak means "I'll do it for cash"
