They are not kidding when they call this Labor Day weekend! They really need to rename it to Relax Weekend or something. It’s been pretty much one shoot after another these last few days.
Some of the people I have shot this weekend in Lo Bosworth, The Wolf Pack from Twilight, Carmen Electra, Will.I.Am, Teresa Giudice, Busta Rhymes and a few others. Oh and the Jefferson Starship concert.
I know, you want pictures, ok. since this whole weekend kinda ran together into one, I’m going to do the same for this blog post.
Carmen Electra turned up the heat yesterday at the Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay.
“The Twilight Saga” stars Tinsel Korey, Alex Meraz and Julia Jones indulged in some sweets at the Sugar Factory in Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood on Saturday.
Friday night, Lauren “Lo” Bosworth celebrated the launch of her new website www.TheLoDown.com at Lavo
Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am was spinning at Wet Republic giving poolside partiers a DJ set they will never forget.
With will.i.am was Omarion so you know Wet Republic got crazy…
… and a couple from Saturday night’s Jefferson Starship concert…
Yeah, I know I left a few out, however that’s ok since I did not even list everyone that got in front of my lens this weekend. When things calm down a little I will post more pics from this Labor Day weekend.
The Men of Chippendales is by joined by Estella Warren, she has been featured in Vogue, Sports Illustrated, Maxim and you may remember her from the movie Planet of the Apes or the 70′s show.
Estella is the first of many more guest hosts as the Chippendales launch their Ultimate Girls Night Out! party/show at the Rio Hotel and Casino.
Then it was off to the Palms to catch Stacy Keibler on her way to host the Las Vegas Fantasy Football Super Draft VIP Party.
After that it was time to shoot Fantasia Barrino as she celebrated her “Back to Me” album release at Rain Nightclub with a performance and a “short” red carpet appearance.
Strange thing about Fantasia is many times she has stated that she is never asked to walk the Red Carpet, however when she does get asked, she rushes though it spending only about 20 seconds in front of the cameras. Strange….
Joining Fantasia as she celebrated her new album release was actress and fashion designer LisaRaye.
Talk about a crazy night. Last night was one of the craziest Red Carpets I have covered in a long time!
The press area was packed with photographers and video crews, so packed that at many times during the night we were literally stepping on each other. It was estimated that there were around 300 people from the international press there all in an area about the size of a large family room.
I think I was the only “normal” one there… 
However as luck would have it, standing next to me the whole night was Crystal Stewart, Miss USA 2008. She was interviewing the celebrity guests for TMG as they arrived at the 2010 Miss Universe Pageant.

Congratulations! Miss Mexico becomes Miss Universe tonight in Las Vegas Nevada!

Wow, what a busy night… First covering Miss Universe events then Stephanie’s Magazine release and then the Movie premiere of the Takers. I love my job!
The red carpet outside of Lagasse’s Stadium for this premiere was huge! The press was out in full force to cover it, photographers and video crews all shoulder to shoulder out in the Vegas heat. Yay!
But dwarfing the press was the fans! 100′s of them filled the sidewalk as they waited patiently for the arrivals of the Takers cast and other celebrities to walk the carpet. Due to the amount of fans and the friendliness of all the stars signing autographs, this carpet was one of the longer ones, lasting from 10:30 to midnight.
So whats the movie about?
A group of professional bank robbers (Michael Ealy, Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen, Paul Walker, Idris Elba) who specialize in spectacular robberies, are pulled into one last job by a recently paroled cohort (T.I) only to be pitted against a hard-boiled detective (Matt Dillon) who interrupts their heist.
The Takers is due to be released in theaters on August 27th.
Nole Marin, director of Runway from America’s Next Top Model, and Stephanie Pratt, cover model for Runway’s summer issue, joined together as the magazine presented “What’s Hot, What’s New, What’s Next in Fashion” at Lavo at the Palazzo on Tuesday.
Bonus fact: The Hills star Stephanie Pratt is Spencer Pratt’s younger sister and the sister-in-law of Heidi Montag.
Model, actress and author Jenny McCarthy hosted the Palms Casino Resort’s 4th Annual Midsummer Night’s Dream tonight – It was a Masquerade Lingerie Bacchanalia, luring in Las Vegas’ most sinister Gods and Goddesses to party poolside to the wee hours of the night.
and talk about a Goddesses… Wow!
I know you are wondering… What the heck is a “Bacchanalia” Well… don’t worry about looking it up, I did it for you since I too had no idea that a “Bacchanalia” was.
“The bacchanalia were wild and mystic festivals of the Greek and Roman god Bacchus (or Dionysus). It has since come to describe any form of drunken revelry.”
Guess that means it was one heck of a party.
So last night at John Fitch’s bachelor party, I look down to the end of the carpet and see someone that makes me stop and think to myself, I know her, I think? Yeah I do, well maybe not, oh hell I don’t know… Unknown to me, she is looking at me thinking the same thing.
After a few minutes of this I walk over and as I get closer I realize that I do in fact know her and at the same time, she realizes the same thing. We both laugh… while I try to cover up the look of Duh! on my face…
So who was this girl with a full film crew? It was Model and TV Personality Stephanie that I shot just last month. This is what happens when you get old, you start to forget things, even beautiful models. <headdesk>
So of course I make her pose on the red carpet for me as I do my test shot, she is way better looking than the other photographers there that normally stand in for test shots.
She will probably kill me for this but here’s another of her, interviewing UFC fighter John Fitch.

Semi-Precious Weapons was at Studio 54 last night to celebrate another outrageous concert with Lady Gaga at MGM Grand’s Garden Arena.
Several years back, Semi-Precious Weapons asked Lady Gaga to perform as their opening act in NYC and now she is returning the favor for her worldwide tour!
Bai Ling was also on hand and in the mood to party.
The after-concert party must have been a wild night with these guys leading the way to craziness. I’m still not sure why a guy would wear high heel boots and pose like a girl on the red carpet however maybe after hanging with Lady Gaga this is mild….
John Fitch arrives to partake in the ultimate rite of passage – the bachelor party – at Tabú Ultra Lounge, last night. Ranked as the number-two welterweight in the world, Jon Fitch was celebrating his last days as a free man in style with an extravagant party thrown by Josh Koscheck at Vegas’ hottest ultra lounge. A few Miss Universe Contestants also surprised everyone when they showed up… – you know what they say: “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.”
These shots of Johnny Weir were taken at the Miss USA pageant held at Planet Hollywood here in Las Vegas on May 16th, 2010
Strange that with all the different celebrities that were there, this guy was the one that the magazines wanted to run. Well, these and a Donald Trump pic I took that I am still looking for.
