This month, I really wanted to interview some members of the Paparazzi. I have passed them in abundance outside the home of Cheryl and Ashley Cole about four times a day every day for the last three months and have wondered about what they do and why they do it.
Some sit in their cars with their laptops, waiting. Some will be leaning on their motorcycles, long lenses slung around their shoulders. They drink coffee, they read newspapers, they presumably exchange bits of useful information and withhold other bits.
White minivan guy
There is one guy in a white minivan who is always there. He is there even when the others aren’t. He was there before the latest media interest and he will probably be there when the rest have all gone. There is an obvious and simple financial reason for their presence, which is that you can earn £100,000 for a single photo if it is taken at the right time.
