Nicki Minaj Causes Pandemonium Signing Autographs in NYC

Nicki Minaj was visibly stressed and overwhelmed by the numerous requests for autographs and photos from her throng of fans. Some of them waited for over four hours to see and travelled from as far away as Colorado and Miami. Nicki was gracious and tried to accommodate everyone, and even rolled down the window of her SUV to take a few more photos with fans until one got too close. I have to admit that I was surprised by how pretty Nicki Minaj was in person. )You never know with photoshop these days.) And she appeared to have lost a significant amount of weight.

Jim Carrey Briefly Signs Autographs in NYC After Taping "The Late Show with David Letterman"

Most of the fans outside of Ed Sullivan theater were apparently waiting for Nicki Minaj, but Jim Carrey had some fans there too - some of whom kept referring to him as The Cable Guy. Jim Carrey briefly signed some autographs and posed for a few photos, but unlike Nicki Minaj, he didn't roll down the window of his SUV on the corner of 53rd and 8th to sign more autographs.

Adrian Grenier Leaving His Hotel on 54th

I got a tip on what hotel the "Entourage" cast was staying in, so I decided to stop by the hotel on my way to the "Conan O'brien" show. As soon as I got to the hotel, and leaned my back against the wall, Adrian Grenier came strutting out! I was like, "Oh my God!" I followed him down 54th, until he made a left on 6th, and got on the subway. I was a little surprised that he got on the subway since he's a celebrity, but he's originally from New York, so...

Blake Lively Departs from the "Late Show with David Letterman"

There was some talk amongst some of Blake's fans that she wasn't as nice as she used to be i.e. she doesn't sign as many autographs as she used to, but she was really nice today. She signed a lot of autographs, posed for pictures with fans, and posed for the paparazzi.

Wait, is that the same dress she wore to TRL?

Jesse McCartney Arrives at TRL

Jesse McCartney surprised his fans. They knew he was coming, but were still extremely surprised when he opened the door of his SUV. He never came out of the MTV studios. A security guard said that he exited through Nokia theatre to avoid the crowds.

Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas Poses with Fans Outside TRL

Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas signed autographs, and posed for a lot of pictures with fans outside of TRL yesterday. She was very sweet, and cute btw. Lisa signed everyone's autograph and posed for a picture with everyone, despite her publicist. I have no idea where Jessica, the other half of The Veronicas was though.

Mario Lopez Signs Autographs on Broadway

I hit Broadway for the first time since launching NYC Celebs\Behind the Late Show, and decided to get Mario Lopez instead of Taylor Hicks, because Mario's last performance in A Chorus Line was Saturday night. I was waiting for Mario to pull up in a black SUV, when all of a sudden I was awakened from my day dream, by the sight of Mario crossing the street directly towards me! By the time I fumbled to turn on my camera, I was only able to get a brief shot of him entering the theatre, because he didn't stop to sign any autographs. He even turned down a little girl, and asked to her wait over two hours for an autograph.

After the show, Mario signed autographs as he made his way to his SUV. You'll notice at the end of the clip that there is a girl hiding in the SUV. She had her head between her legs, so know one could see her face. I saw her, but wasn't able to get it on camera. I must say, she was young and cute. Mario is 35, but she looked to be a few days over 18. Men will be men!

Bailey Hanks Signs Autographs on Broadway

Bailey Hanks signed autographs for her fans after her Saturday night performance of Legally Blonde the Musical. I actually enjoy reality television, and I'm consistently amazed at how someone can go from being unknown to a celebrity seemingly overnight. There must have been 200 girls waiting outside for Bailey! She had ten times as many fans waiting for her than Mario Lopez, but the odd thing about it is, no one passing by on the street seemed to recognize her. Maybe those old people need to watch more MTV.

Jack Black Signing Autographs Outside "Good Morning America"

This was my first time going to "Good Morning America." It reminded me a lot of the "Letterman" show with the barricades on both sides, and all the action going on in the streets.

Jack Black was hilarious as usual. He signed a lot of autographs, and posed for a number of pictures despite the fact that his publicist kept telling him he had to go.

Kiefer Sutherland Signs Autographs Outside the "Late Show with David Letterman"

I always forget that the "Late Show" is taped an hour earlier on Thursdays. So, I was shocked when I turned the corner on 53rd and Broadway, to see Kiefer Sutherland already signing autographs. I immediately ran to the scene, but my camera wasn't ready yet. It was searching for a blank spot to start recording, and it was taking a really long time. I thought I wasn't going to get any video of Kiefer. Thank God Kiefer broke the record for the longest autograph session in "Late Show" history. This clip is edited, because it would have been a lot longer. It got so bad that the "Late Night" security started warning people about getting multiple autographs.

Penelope Cruz Signs Autographs Outside the "Late Show with David Letterman"

Penelope Cruz's SUV pulled up to the "Late Show," but she didn't get out. Eventually, the SUV pulled off again. We thought she was going to enter the theater through the front door to avoid the throng of autograph seekers, and paparazzi; so, a number of us ran to the front of the Ed Sullivan theater only to see Penelope's SUV return to the side door, where she signed a ton of autographs, and posed for photos.

Javier Bardem Leaves "Conan" Arrives at "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" Premier

There was a large crowd of fans, and autograph seekers waiting for Javier outside of NBC studios, so Javier's driver tried to pull a fast one by driving around the corner to the 50th street exit. Thank God a keen eyed observer witnessed the car driving away, and we hotly pursued the car on foot. Shortly thereafter, Javier exited NBC on the opposite side, but only signed one autograph, and quickly got into his car.

Once again we hotly pursued the car to the movie premier - some of us on foot, some of us on the bus, and I personally took the 6 train. We got there minutes before Javier did, and he signed more autographs and posed longer for video and pictures.

Pharrell Unleashes Bodyguard and Entourage on Celebrity Blogger Outside the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" Show

After I filmed Seth Rogen arriving at "The Daily Show," I quickly walked from 11th to 6th avenue to film Pharrell, and N.E.R.D.'s departure from the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show. I asked Shay Haley, who was the first to exit the NBC studios, how the show went, and he responded very kindly.

Chad Hugo, and Pharrell exited simultaneously through separate revolving doors, but I decided to focus the camera on Pharrell. (I'm sorry, but I'm addicted to "page views".) Boy was that a bad idea. Pharrell immediately put his hands up to his face. He appeared to be joking, because I could see that he was making funny faces behind his hands. Also, the only female in his entourage was looking at him like,"Why are you doing that?"

Things turned ugly when Pharrel realized that he walked up to the wrong SUV. You can tell by his body language that he was livid. But I was like, "Cool, more video!" (Did I mention that I'm addicted to "page views"?) As I was filming Pharrell sign an autograph for a fan, Pharrell unleashed his bodyguard on me. I can't make out exactly what Pharrel said to him, but this is how the conversation went between the bodyguard, and me.

Bodyguard: "Put the camera up. Let me tell you something, put the camera down! I don't want to embarrass you out here. I'm telling you, I don't want to embarrass you out here!"
NYC Celebs: "Put it down? I have to put my camera down?"
Bodyguard: "You can take pictures, but no video."

At that point, I walked several feet away. I wasn't afraid of the bodyguard. No seriously I wasn't afraid of him. He was about 6'4" and I'm 6'4". He had a beard, and I have a (nice) beard. He weighed over 250 pounds, and I weigh a little over 150 pounds. The problem was, I literally visualized him breaking my brand new JVC camera. My camera's life flashed before my eyes.

Thank God he decided to leave me alone, and that is when the some members of Pharrell's entourage jumped him, by aggressively giving me the middle finger as Pharrell walked with his sweater covering his face. I mean, I got the middle finger with passion, emotion, and meaning behind it! I've never gotten the middle finger like that before. Wait! Actually, no one has ever given me the middle finger before.

I don't understand all the hostility. I just wanted to get a behind-the-scenes clip of Pharrell, and N.E.R.D. leaving the show for their fans. (And to increase "page views".) I know there is a whole debate about celebrity privacy, but I was filming them leaving NBC studios - not leaving a crack house!

America Ferrera Signs Autographs Outside TRL

I tried to get video of America Ferrera at the "Live with Regis and Kelly" show yesterday morning, but she entered the show through the garage, and didn't roll down her window - and her windows were not tinted, they were painted completely BLACK! I had no idea she was going to be taping shows at TRL yesterday, so I was shocked when she arrived.

Blake Lively Poses for Paparazzi Outside TRL

In the beginning of the clip you'll see me shooting video of Blake through the window of her SUV after she pre-taped the "Live with Regis and Kelly" show. I was disappointed that she didn't rolled down her window, but was very happy and surprised to see her at TRL. Yup, everybody was there! In stark contrast to "Live with Regis and Kelly," Blake actually stopped, and signed a few autographs at TRL. At the end of the clip is a shot of an autograph she signed for a fan.

Alexis Bledel Arrives at TRL

Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn were also at TRL yesterday to promote "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" film.
