Cool I wonder who at TMZ is going to make the huge paycheck for breakin the MJ story? - 06-25-2009, 09:39 PM


They have a whole string of paps on their payroll and on X17 and they usually get paid for what they catch either by being on location or getting tips from $$ that they spread around, so I wonder who is going to make the big bucks on this story?

The life of a paparazzi, we really don't have them here in Texas to speak of.

Actually it's going to be a tourist with a video camera on a tour van that was in front of his house when the amublance left.

damn, that photo was either purchased for a CRAP LOAD of $$$$ or for a SMALL amount of money from a tourist who didn't know better. I probably could retire off that photo had I taken it LOL.

I wouldn't either.

That said, if someone offered me 6 or 7 figures for a snapshot, I'm taking it.

abe vigoda= old actor (Barney Miller, et al)

old= statistically more likely to die.

more likely to die= more productive use of vulture time


problem is, when Abe does die, how will you know?
