Once can see things clearly w a 600 mil lens...

On 18 September, The Today Show did a demonstration to show just how close one can get from great distances using powerful telephoto lenses.  

They interviewed a former paparazzi who used a 600mil lens with a doubler and a good camera. He was situated in Brooklyn Heights and his "target" was located at the Sea Port in Manhattan, across the East River. Over 6 miles away!  

While some of the super close up shots are not very recognizable, you get the idea.  With a good strong lens and a good camera, you can catch just about anyone doing anything. 

Photography in the age of paparazzi

And here is a demonstration of just how close one can get from a great distance

Some freedom for Liberty.


Liberty Ross was out for her birthday and had this to say about her cheating husband Rupert Sanders and his affair with Kristen Stewart.

"The Model and actress partied at a gay nightclub, Eleven, with her longtime friend Simon Robinson and his partner. "If it weren't for Simon," she told RumorFix, "I wold not be out. I'm a very private girl."
Asked about the affair that made her a headline name, Liberty didn't play coy. "Nobody knew who I was before he cheated and I liked it better that way.  I'm here at Eleven and you recognize me.  I bet had this scandal not have taken place, you would have walked right passed me," she explained.
"It's not good being hurt and devastated like me...but guess what, you certainly learn from it.  I'm not made at Rupert at all, no reason to hold grudges.  I'm not focused on that.  What I am focused on are my children and moving my life forward.  My children come first and are most important in my life.  They've always been and always will be." 

Well good for Liberty!

It says a lot that she was out on her b'day without Sanders as well as being in London.  While I don't think for one minute that what happened between her husband and Stewart was a "momentary indiscretion", I"m more likely to believe this affair went on for close to a year, however, this might not have been Rupert's first "momentary indiscretion".  Perhaps Liberty has been through this before and this was just the straw that broke the camels back.  In all honesty, I can't see a man married this long, two children and the first time he steps out on his wife is with K?  No.  I, just.  No.

As for her walking NYFW, what are the odds that they just happened to throw her in the show at the last minute?  These events are scheduled far in advance.  Who knows how many other Fashion Weeks she's walked and no one realized it until now.  Like she said, "I bet had this scandal not have taken place, you would have walked right passed me".  Just because she's become a household name from an affair, doesn't mean she wasn't known in some circles before this.

Yes, the sheep will most likely tear her apart for these comments.  Calling her a fame whore, making her out to be the villain in all of this.  This is what they do.  They deflect.  None of this could possibly be the special snow flakes fault.  It's all Liberty's or Rupert's or even Rob's.  Anyone but their Queen.  

If Liberty is going to be a single mom, she's going to need an income.  And while sure, it looks like now she is everywhere, things like jobs being set up weeks/months in advance elude the simple sheep.  They know how many months in advance magazine shoots are set up.  Stewart has been in enough, they should.  But once again the same rules don't apply.  So while Stewart does a mag and it takes months to come out.  Liberty does one and shes a fame whore exploiting a bad situation.  Morons

I'll just sit back and wait until she is seen with Rupert again.  It's going to happen.  


[quote What's especially telling is that the paps are after these two big time right now and he is still able to move around and go places without anyone knowing what he is up to.[/quote]



There is no doubt in any of our minds that it's her team that sets the paps up.  Anytime she is not involved, Rob has been able to get around unseen.  He was just in London for who knows how long and was only seen in Customs at LAX by a fan.  If she hadn't taken that one picture, he'd have made it back into the States undetected.  How many other times has this happened?  A few, I'm sure.

We've heard before that the paps and HW insiders know what is really going on between these two and are unimpressed.  Yet the paps know that pics of them fetch a fair price, especially now.  So the lack of pictures of them together, especially after this last week of "they got together to discuss things" just confirms even further that they didn't come anywhere close to being together.

I wouldn't be surprised if the paps are watching her every move to see if she goes out, where she is going and more importantly, who she is with.  A pic of her and Rob would be worth some serious money, especially with all the "getting back together" headlines that SHE set in motion.  However, a pic of her in Rupert together would be worth so much more!!!

Rob has always been able to be unseen (hence her team calling the paps) and when he shows up somewhere, his team lets the outtings speak for themselves, whether its him out with friends, at a bar or an event.

Honestly, I expected more...


Campins Real Estate, specializing in the sale of "Luxury Sports and Entertainment Homes", has put an article on their blog stating that Robert Pattinson is selling his Los Feliz, California home.  I'm sure a post like this has resulted in more than a few hits for the blog, which in my best guess, is their intention all along.  However, I think it's sad when some feel that they have to stoop to this level for attention.

Let me dissect this. 

This is their heading:

Celebrity Real Estate: Robert Pattinson Los Feliz CA Home For Sale $6.3 Million

Now, if I didn't know better, I would think by reading this that they know for sure that the house is on the market.  It states that the house is "for sale" and lists a price. The price happens to be the last price it was sold at, but I digress.  Since this is coming from a real estate blog, I would also think that they had the listing on this home. 

This is the house in question.




 Now for the body of the post:
Twilight star Robert Pattinson posh Los Feliz, CA home for sale. He once shared this home with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Pattinson bought the home for $6.3 million, previously owned by ER star Noah Wyle and sits on an acre and a half of land and has 150-person screening room and amazing gardens. The house comes with three big bedrooms and bathrooms, state-of-the-art security system, private amphi-theatre and extensive wine cellar.
Built in 1921, the 4,000 square-foot home is a lavish area in the Hills with neighbors like Gwen Stefani and Black Eye Peas Will.I.Am.

Not a whole lot to it really, but you know who's home it is, or possibly is, who they shared it with and other celebrity names of previous owner and neighbors.  The celebrity details in this post have been recycled for a month in regards to this house.  The post is effective as people, though not involved in real estate, have made comments.

If it was a legitimate real estate post for her site, as per the other luxury homes she has listed to sell, there would have been a dozen or so pictures showcasing the home to attract a potential buyer. Perhaps even a little blurb about the "luxury gourmet kitchen", "spacious master suite with glamorous en suite", "sprawling gardens that lead to a lagoon style pool".  Since Campins does not have the listing for the home, there is none of that information.


Now, since Campins does not have the listing, who does?  As one person commented, this house is not on the market.  And he would be correct.  How did he know?  His information is coming from a real estate website that specifically says, "Off Market" at the top of the page.



This entry is from the company's real estate blog where she discusses trends in the market as well as celebrity real estate transactions.  That's all well and good, however it seems like she is tying to capitalize on a celebrity cheating scandal between a young actress and a married director.  I find that kind of sad considering with her background, website Facebook page, etc., that she feels the need to go this direction in getting her name out there when she seems to be doing a fine job of it using social media. Hell, even this blog post is turning into a selling feature for her. 

That is if anyone actually reads it.

Fun with debunking




So, I found this on Tumblr and I just can’t help myself to make some comments in the margin as it were. I love how “since there have been so many reports on this, I’m going with this is true.”  She really doesn’t understand how this works, does she. 
Let’s begin…

**I’ve read a lot that Kristen has not dropped out of Cali but that the production of the movie has been postponed to give her time.  I actually am kind of thinking this is true.  If they were really going to replace her it would have been done already and filming would have begun.
Except that Alex Pettyfer, the other actor in the film, is currently filming “TheButler”   I’m going to guess that this is the reason production has not started yet.  I highly doubt that they are holding production for Kristen while she goes through a personal crisis.  This kind of thing is rarely done in Hollywood, especially when she is the cause of said crisis. 
According to IMDB, “Cali” has been taken off of Kristen’s call sheet and added to Amber Heards as a rumor.  Make of that what you will. 

**Rob selling the house that he and Kristen shared.  So many reports about this so I’m going with this is true.  I guess I am not surprised because now everyone knows where they live and there are many memories there for them but I’m thinking it is more about people knowing where they live than memories.
Wow, talk about dramatic. “many memories there for them”  Give me a break.  Show me one picture of Rob at that house.  ONE. Anything.  Him pulling into the driveway, getting dropped off in the street, pulling out of the driveway.  Just ONE picture and I MIGHT believe, on a Thursday, if it’s raining, during a full moon that this was his house.  I’ll wait.

**Ashley Greene is replacing Kristen with Rob on promotion.  Have to be honest this shocked me.  But guess it was bound to happen that he can’t just go promote a movie alone and he and Ashley seem to get along.  All I have to say is as long as it isn’t Nikki I’m good.
Of course this shocked you, you don’t want it to be true nor did you hear it from “many reports” As if he would promote this movie alone, I mean there are only 30 plus other cast members to choose from to promote with.  Ashley, Kellan, Jackson, Peter, Nikki, the list goes on.  I don’t care who he promotes or even if he promotes it at all, as long as it’s not with Kristen.  Then again, the awkwardness and desperation might be good for a laugh or two.  Nah, not even then.

Just read today that Rupert only signed a contract for one SWATH movie but they gave Kristen what is called an option if they wanted her to come back and needed her for the second one.  So, she gets priority over Rupert.  I am hoping this is true because honestly you can’t have these two working together and am sure the studio feels Rupert is more easily replaced than Kristen.
There is SO much to say about this. I highly doubt that even with a contract of this nature, she has priority over Rupert.  Considering that the only consecutively good thing that has been said about Swath is the air direction and visual graphics and all of that came from Rupert.  I’d be surprised if Universal canned him over her considering damn near every review of her in the role came back negative.
When it was announced that she was canned from the sequel, an uproar of how unfair this was started.  That if she was going to be canned, he needed go as well.  While I see the point, people have to look at the other side of things.  Movies are in the business to make money.  While I have not doubt that Kristen’s fans put a lot of the money in at the box office for Snow White (and you can bet that is what Universal was banking on) it was Rupert’s work that got the good reviews.  In the event of a sequel, who do you think they are going to turn to?  The actress whos fanbase turned on her and would most likely not see her in another film or the director who people raved over his vision?   “It’s nothing personal, it’s business”  
**I’ve read numerous tweets this week and am giving out the links.
1.  This link has a first hand account of someone that nicely stalked Rob during Cosmopolis promotion in NYC.

http://www.twitlonger.com/show/it6v4
“Nicely Stalked…” talk about your oxymorons.  The message has been deleted.  Shocker
2.  This is a compilation of stuff from Gossip Cop.
 
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/j0q8io  Posted on 24 August
Oh gee, color me shocked.  Gossip Cop is involved.
This author needs to get her head out of the sand.  If people really thing that this “fling” was brief and there was no sex, then I have a bridge to sell you. COME ON!  There was a definite familiarity with these two, tons of rumors that she hung around set when not need, etc.  And no sex?  Let me get the papers to that bridge.
The rest of the post goes on to believe every little bit posted that give the sheep hope.  They are talking, they will work through this, he never asked her to move out, the appololie was not PR driven, the recent pics of her out and how she is wearing all her “rob things’ and it just goes on to justify and confirm that all is well in the land of OZ. 
This last link I found super compelling and believe this is exactly what happened.
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/j32uft  Posted 29 August
This post comes with an insider source with a confidentiality agreement with the Stewart Family.  This is how you know sources are the real deal folks.  She confirms not only have Rob and Kristen NOT broken up, but that “it’s safe to say, they have been talking” and her source tells her that “they have met up at least once before he left for NY”.   Well, of course they never broke up silly, they never confirmed they were dating to break up.  Gesh. 
She also “doesn’t know if Rob is in London, but he and her are together working on things and living together at another location”  That’s funny, because Rob just happens to be in London. 
What good is a source without an eyewitness account to the epic lurve?  Never fear because we have one.  She apparently met Rob on several occasions, one being right after her Mother died.  He was “so nice, it made my day”   And of course her eye witness account goes like this, “I also noticed is how in love him and Kristen were they kept staring and touching each other like they were the only ones there.”  Now, where have I read that before?  OH yes, fanfiction.

Now, from Twitter:

NOT IN LONDON • 17 hours ago −
K and Rob are not in London you losers, he's not and she most definitely is not.
Well, wrong. Rob is in London. Some rumors coming in as early as the 28th of August. Next.
He didn't sell his house.
Correct.  The house that is in the Trust of Nick Finkle is not on the market.  And Rob was never confirmed to live there. Next. 

And from the Oh Really Departement:


Herzog Flick • 12 hours ago
So the general feeling is that Kristen will be joining Rob on the Herzog set. You're welcome.
Yeah, that account has been suspended.  Not that this sounded in any way official.


**The news today about Kristen’s parents getting a divorce really hit me hard.  This poor girl.  I just couldn’t help but to hope that Rob would go see her or be with her just as a friend if nothing more.  She needs support from her friends and also from Rob.  I feel so awful for her.  Here she was on top of the world and now the whole situation with Rob and her parents just is horrible.  I was kind of wondering if she saw this coming and it affected her in any way.
This news hit you hard?  Why?  Do you know them?   How is this hitting you hard when this couple has been estranged since 2010?  Rob is not in the country to be with her as a friend and if you ask me, that is what he’s been doing the past two years.  Possibly even because of this same situation.  Allowing her to hang around his friends and tag along to places with him because she just had to get away from what was going on with her parents. 
I think she’s embarrassed him enough to let her do this again.  She’s on her own.
If you ask me, after being estranged from her husband, Jules is just as selfish as Kristen is to 1. Announcing her divorce.  Who cares!?  They aren’t a famous couple that this would actually be entertainment news worthy.  And even if they were, divorce is a private and personal matter.  They are known because of her daughter. Did you know who the hell Jules Stewart was before you knew who Kristen was?  No.  And neither did anyone else.   2.  She announces her divorce NOW?? After two years not living with her husband?  SELFISH!
**Last but not least I read something amazing.  Rob and Kristen wrote the speech that Edward says in Breaking Dawn Part 1.  I found that to be so wonderful that I have posted a link below for the video.  Click on the little box for the link.
What she is referring to is the Edward wedding speech from “Breaking Dawn 1”
You can see it hear on Youtube if you want to watch Rob in his painful Edward glory or just read:

“It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am. With Bella I feel like I can finally begin. So I'd like to propose a toast to my beautiful bride. No measure of time with you will be long enough. But let's start with forever.”

Once again, let me get my deck of Bullshit cards.  Where is her link to the article in which she read this glorious news?  I Googled the hell out of it and could find nothing on the subject of either of them contributing to the writing of the Breaking Dawn script.  You know what I did find when I googled?  “Kristen cheats on Rob” stories.
