Anne Hathaway (SNL) and Simon Pegg (Conan) Arrive at NBC Studios

Anne Hathaway and Simon Pegg Arrived at NBC Studios on Monday. Anne Hathaway was there to prepare for hosting this week's "Saturday Night Live," and Simon was there to promote his new movie "How to Lose Friends & Alienate People" on the "Conan O'Brien" show.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Signs Autographs and Poses for Paps Outside the "Late Show"

One of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' biggest fans, that doesn't live in New York, asked me to get Julia's autograph, so I was like, "Sure no problem!" but as I as pulling out my notepad Julia told another fan, "I don't sign anything blank. I don't do blank cards." So I slowly put my notebook back in my bag.

Watch how Julia struts down the sidewalk towards the paparazzi. She is close to Paris Hilton in the way she sensually poses for the camera.

Michael Cera Overwhelmed By Fans and Paparazzi Outside the "Late Show"

Michael Cera was overwhelmed by the crowd of autograph seekers, fans, and paparazzi that were at the "David Letterman." He literally froze! He didn't know what to do. When one fan asked him what was wrong, he replied, "But every is yelling my name!" He eventually signed a few autographs, and briefly paused for the paparazzi, but went straight to his SUV after the show.

Paris Hilton Poses for the Paparazzi Outside the "David Letterman" Show

Paris Hilton broke the record today for the longest time posing for the paparazzi outside the "David Letterman" show, and she was close to breaking the record for signing the most autographs. For the first time, my arm got so tired from holding the camera, that I had to put it down to rest it.

Paris has to be the most unique poser. She's very dramatic and sensual with her poses. You'll notice Benji Madden in the beginning of the clip walking to the SUV. Fortunately, he didn't stop, and do any sensual posing.

In addition to filming, I tried to give Paris one of my "got uggs" t-shirts from my UGG boot blog. I couldn't get close enough, so I attempted to give one to her assistant, but he wouldn't take it. He made a derogatory comment about UGG boots, and I was like, "But Paris wears UGG boot!" It didn't work, so I'm going to have to mail her one.

Alec Baldwin Signs Autographs Outside the "Conan O'Brien" Show

Initially, no one was going to bother asking Alec to sign an autograph, because he is notorious for not signing for anyone, but he must have been in a good mood after he won an Emmy Sunday night for his role on the hit television show "30 Rock."

Julianne Moore Signs Autographs After Taping the "David Letterman" Show

After posing for the paparazzi, Julianne signed some autographs, and posed for some pictures with her fans, but apparently, she doesn't like baseball, because a fan asked her to sign a baseball, but she refused, and said,"I like basketball!"

Bill Clinton Departs the "Late Show with David Letterman"

Instead of getting into a SUV after taping the show, Bill Clinton actually walked to a hotel a block away where he was holding a charity function. Of course, he was surrounded by about ten secret service men. (Btw, are there any secret service women?) I was going to film him walking down the street, but a security guard blocked everyone from leaving the barriers.

Jaime Pressly Signs Autographs Outside the "Conan O'Brien" Show

I was extra happy to see Jaime Pressly arrive at the "Conan O'Brien" show, because she arrived wearing a pair of UGG boots. Now why would I be happy about that? It's because I have an UGG boot blog.

For some reason the video isn't working, but you can see it here.

Patton Oswalt and Diane Lane Arrive at the "Conan O'Brien" Show

Compare and contrast the arrivals of Patton Oswalt, and Diane Lane to the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show. Patton signed everyone's autograph, and took pictures with his fans, but Diane said she would sign,"On the way out," because she was late for the show; however, they arrived within five minutes of each other. I HAD to leave, but I don't believe Diane ever came out through the same exit. I believe she exited through the garage, but I have to double check that.

Chris Rock Signs Autographs and Kisses Fan Outside the "Late Show"

Chris Rock was originally suppose to be on Friday's show, but he was switched to today's show. I was waiting for him to arrive, when he, to my surprise, exited the theater.

Some guy that was there promoting a real estate company had the wrong Chris. He kept referring to Chris Rock as Chris Tucker. He said,"Chris Tucker you rock dud! Like Kid Rock" And he kept making dog barking sounds. There's a shot of the heckler at the end of the video.

Btw, notice how Chris sneaks in a kiss (On the lips!) as he was posing for a picture with a beautiful fan.

Damon Dash and Jim Jones at the William Rast Fashion Show

Getting video of rappers can sometimes be precarious. Remember the Pharrel video. The guy with Jim Jones (bodyguard?) didn't look too happy that I was video taping him. He looked like he wanted to pull a Kanye on me.

I don't understand what the problem is with some of these guys. The video is for their fans. OK, I'll admit, I'm making a little money out of it too, but aren't they always saying, "Don't knock another man's hustle." I could understand if I was taping them exiting a brothel, but it was a fashion show.

Notice in the video that Damon Dash is talking to a lady who is basically ignoring him. She eventually walks away from him without saying a word to his dismay.

Robin Williams Departs the "Late Show with David Letterman"

My friend Felix, who is an autograph seeker, took this video for me. I was at Radio City Music Hall filming some other celebrities. This video is a little shaky, because every time Felix attempts to get Robin's autograph, the camera goes in the air.

Watch as Robin converses with Radio Man. Robin could play Radio Man in a biopic or vice versa.

Ricky Gervais Arrives At The "Conan O'Brien" Show

Pregnant Amy Poehler Leaves NBC Studios

I was waiting for Samuel L. Jackson yesterday when a very pregnant Amy Poehler, and Seth Meyers exited NBC Studios. Ironically, Amy was very camera shy. She hid behind Seth every time she noticed I was filming her.

[Btw], according to the Los Angeles Times, Amy tells the new issue of Men's Vogue that she is taking a break [from SNL] after the November election as she prepares to welcome her first child. And she won't be returning after maternity leave.

[However] she has signed on for NBC's upcoming Office spin-off, set to air next year.

Samuel L. Jackson Signs Autographs Outside the "Conan O'Brien" Show

I guy who was waiting for Samuel L. Jackson to arrive to the "Conan O'Brien" show related to me that he, and a friend saw Samuel earlier in the day, and said to him,

"Mr. Jackson! Will you sign for us please?"

Samuel L. Jackson replied,"Didn't I sign for you motherf*ckers earlier?" Lol

He didn't sign any autographs on the way into the show, but promised to sign some on the way out. He probably should have signed on the way in, because there was a much larger crowd waiting for him when he came out. He didn't curse aat anyone, but he did get visibly agitated with one autograph seeker. Listen to his reaction towards the end of the clip.

Jessica Simpson Mobbed Outside the "David Letterman" Show

Serena Williams Departs the "Conan O'Brien" Show

OMG, Serena Williams is the biggest woman I've ever seen in my life! You can't tell from the video or even from television, but her arms have to be bigger that Arnold Schwarzeneggers. I'm not kidding, trying to make fun of her, or exaggerating.

The video is a little short, because I missed her by five minutes when she arrived. I left to see Jessica Simpson. Serena didn't seem very happy, and I got the impression I scared her with the video camera. Maybe she heard about the Kanye West incident.

Curtis 50 Cent Jackson Arrives at the "Conan O'Brien" Show

Normally guests get to the NBC Studios around 4:30, but 50 Cent got there near 6:00. There was a large crowd waiting for him, which included his bodyguard, his manager, and the NBC Page. They tried to ditch the autograph seekers by going from the 49th street side to the 50th street side, but I read the Page's lips when he told 50's bodyguard the plan.

50 decided to exit through the garage, so I don't have any video of his departure. Some fans chased his car for 5 avenues! Not five blocks, but five avenues! If you don't live in New York, you don't realize that an avenue is like three blocks. So, they basically chased his car for 18 blocks! He eventually rolled down the window for them, and signed about four autographs. For some reason he kept the pens. Maybe he doesn't want anyone to have his fingerprints. Btw, one of the autograph seekers was a White lady who appeared to be in her 70s. Yup, she ran the entire 18 blocks to get 50 Cent's autograph.

Tyler Perry Signs Autographs Outside the "Conan O'Brien" Show

I was surprised that Tyler Perry had is own security detail. You'll see one of them put his hand in front of my camera, and flash a light into my camera too. Maybe he feels he needs to have his own security since according to Forbes magazine, he is on his way to becoming a billionaire.

Keira Knightley Signs Autographs After the "Late Show"

Jeremy Piven Outside the William Rast Fashion Show

Jeremy arrived late to the fashion show at the Roseland Ballroom. Before getting out of his chauffeured Mercedes Benz, Jeremy gave his female companion a kiss, before she drove off with the chauffeur. About 30 minutes later, Jeremy pulled up in a cab with a female. I was so confused! First of all, I didn't see him leave, and the girl didn't look like the same girl that was in the Mercedes. I could be mistaken, but the girl didn't look like Camille Guaty. I'm not trying to start any drama, because this isn't that type of blog, but...

Blake Lively Arrives at the Miss Sixty Show at Bryant Park for Fashion Week 2008

I saw Blake arrive in a Town Car (without tented windows!), but instead of going to the tents, she went inside the Bryant Park Hotel. At fist I second guessed myself, but it turns out it was a decoy. She eventually came out of the hotel, and we mobbed her. It appeared that the Miss Sixty show was her first Fashion Week show, because she asked the host how long the shows last.

Vivica A. Fox, Charlize Theron, and Andree 3000 at the Benjamin Bixby Bash at Barneys

This is a short collage of Vivica A. Fox, who arrived in tow with Phillip Bloch, Charlize Theron, and Andre 3000 at the Benjamin Bixby Bash at Barneys. Benjamin Bixby is Andre 3000's new clothing line, and the soiree was hosted by Charlize.

Vivica and Phillip were very nice, but Charlize and Andre 3000 were very "anti-social" towards the paparazzi. Charlize had her back to us the entire time, and refused to turn around while she waited for her Town Car to arrive. She eventually sneaked out through the opposite exit. And Andre 3000 pulled a Pharell on us.

Btw, when Padma Lakshmi, the host of "Top Chef" arrived, she was in a minor car accident. Her Town Car was hit by a SUV, but she wasn't hurt; however, I missed the whole thing, because I hit the wrong button on my camera!

Duffy Signs Autographs After the "Late Show"

Shannon Doherty Poses for Paparazzi After the "Late Show with David Letterman"

Shannon Doherty appeared on the "Late Show" to promote the new "90210," which got very high ratings for The CW network. Let's see if the ratings hold up.

Adele Poses with Fans After the "Conan O'Brien" Show

This is a hilarious video with Adele. One of the guys in the video doesn't know how to use a digital camera. He must have been joking, right? He also said that Adele cursed out one of her fans she was taking a picture with in the elevator. He may have been joking though. The audio may be a little hard to hear until I get a boom mic for my camera, so you may have to turn up your speakers.

Btw, I like Adele's Chanel bag, but I was a little surprised by her smoking. And I'm surprised she got into an SUV this time. After the "David Letterman" show, she walked to her hotel. Here's the video.

Kevin Connolly of "Entourage" Signs Autographs After the "Conan O'Brien" Show

Justin Timberlake, Keyshia Cole, Carrie Underwood and Lil Wayne at the Fashion Rock Sound Check

Here's a short collage of Justin Timberlake, Keyshia Cole, Carrie Underwood and Lil Wayne arriving and departing from Radio City Music Hall for the sound check for the "Fashion Rocks 2008" show.

Lil Wayne is a little hard to see. He's the short guy with the backpack on.

Vivica A. Fox Arrives at the "Conan O'Brien" Show

Vivica A.Fox looked a lot better in person than she does on television. Ironically, she actually looked a little older than I expected too. What do you think?

Tilda Swinton

Tilda Swinton who won an Academy Award for her role in the film "Michael Clayton" appeared on the "Late Show" to promote her new film "Burn After Reading." She was really nice, and signed a ton of autographs, but for some reason she didn't pose for the paparazzi.

Notice in the beginning of the clip that she is having a conversation with RadioMan. I wonder what they were talking about. And one of Tilda's fans thought Tilda's accent was Australian, but Tilda corrected her and told her that it was Swedish.

Nicolas Cage Signs Autographs Outside the "Late Show"

Nicolas Cage wasn't going to sign any autographs, but the crowd was able to convince him to cross the street. At first it appeared that he was in a hurry, but he took his time, and signed a lot of autographs. It was one of the biggest crowds I've seen. Notice the guy in the clip who gets Nicolas to sign his Metrocard.

Terrence Howard Poses with his Guiter at the "Late Show"

It always seems strange to me when actors become singers, and Terrence Howard is no exception. The part of the clip where Terrence poses for the paparazzi with his guitar just seems strange; however, Terrence was really nice. Not only did he pose for the paparazzi, he signed autographs for fans before and after the show.


Anna Torv of "Fringe" Signs Autograhs Outside the "Late Show"


Hayden Panettiere Arrives at the "Late Show with David Letterman"

Hayden didn't sign any autographs or pose for the paparazzi on her way into the show. She said she would sign on the way out, and her publicist told the paparazzi that she would pose on the way out. I don't know what the rush was, because she arrived somewhat early for the show.

I was actually surprised by the new haircut, and stunned by the outfit!
