A video piece I did with VC2 producer Daniel Florêncio for Current TV where we spent an evening driving around Central London as we looked for celebs and came across Prince William at Boujis.
Some interesting programs and radio debates on privacy and injunctions at the moment. The Death of Kiss and Tell, Panorama examines the battle lines being drawn between those pushing for laws to boost a person’s right to privacy and those in the media fighting to tell the truth. Celebrities on Privacy and the Press and the excellent Radio 4 Now Law in Action piece Clive Coleman looks at super-injunctions and what the recent John Terry case says about the development and limitations of privacy law. As a “Situationist Paparazzo” and sometime “Expert Witness” I think I have seen and know more than I ever wished to.
“If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too, but there will be no special hurry.” Ernest Hemingway
An article, “This is London” I did for Don’t Tell It magazine…Consumerism, cult of celebrity and the real economy. Carter Ruck, Shillings and Co and our vain glorious politicised culture are destroying this economy, one of the few industries we have left in this country, that is leading to a climate of censorship that will make North Korea proud. When the devil needs a lawyer Carter Ruck is his first port of call with their super injunctions and as John Milton said no phrase could be more apt, “Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.” I celebrate the excesses of London’s glamour girls, they draw the high rolling clientele to the hip bars and clubs, their bodies sell magazines and their indiscretions keep tabloids in print, and yet the contribution that London’s glamour girls make to the UK economy goes largely unrecognised. I salute them, especially Cassie Sumner, Prince Harry’s friend who was voted sexiest woman in Britain by News of the World readers.

“There is an ancient tribal proverb I once heard in India. It says that before we can see properly we must first shed our tears to clear the way.”
Prince Harry with Darren Hajul, who was a member of boy band Most Wanted post Polo.
The Royals have been great over the years and Prince Harry has given up some excellent pictures. This shot was taken back in 2003 and was the establishing shot of Prince Harry’s future wild antics.
Cartier International Polo – party Smith’s Lawn, Windsor Great Park, Egham. Quintessentially and Chinawhite co-host exclusive bash with champagne reception, seated lunch and afterparty. Revellers including Prince Harry attended the afterparty. Prince Harry and his friends were dancing on the tables, as the alcohol flowed. The young Prince had a great time joining in with the celebrations and giving up some fun pictures.
Prince Harry took offense to photographer Chris Uncle after a 4 hour drinking session at exclusive London nightclub Pangaea. Clearly agitated as he emerged from the club, the Prince pushed Chris Uncle’s camera into his face, bruising his lip and had to be restrained by his bodyguard. Prince Harry’s actions went down well with the public and further increased Royal popularity. It seemed to be Uncle’s unlucky day, as he had earlier been throttled by the boyfriend of Meg Matthews (Noel Gallagher’s ex) outside the hill pub in Camden.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year this naughty Tiger, Lindsay Lohan is back in London to host a special post-Brit awards fundraiser at Altitude 360 where she’ll be helping to raise cash for the Red Cross’ aid efforts in Haiti. Lindsay has been very generous in the past with pictures and in her astrology this Year it is no good for relationships because she is against the Year God. There could be a lot of problems for most couples, fighting and at worse with both partners physically hurting each other. Lindsay should avoid having love affairs and spend more time together working on her relationship. If she need to separate she will need to be calm and sensible, her life is more important than her relationship.

“Because you don’t notice the light without a bit of shadow. Everything has both dark and light. You have to play with it till you get it exactly right.”
It looks like John Terry’s, super injunction failed against his own astrology. After photographing him for years with wild ladies it was only a matter of time before it caught up with him, although I’m sure most people in JT’s position would find it hard not to enjoy life to the full. But John Terry has given us some great pictures, has always been totally cool with us and is a great player unlike Rio Ferdinand.
John Terry is the Year of the Monkey and this Year he is against the Year God. As soon as we have bad astrology any negative actions or associations we keep can cause us problems, as the energy from the astrology and our own actions connect. The Year of the Tiger, Pig and Snake also have to be careful this year so check our book and avoid unnecessary problems.
