Piece Description

You have seen a million paparazzi pictures. (Without trying too hard, you could have seen a shot of Britney?s shaved head within minutes of her firing up the clippers.) But do you know what those Kodak moments sound like? Here, we listen in on the much-maligned paparazzi, and the surprising secrets of the banter that gets them those money shots.

Timing and Cues

The actual feature is 5 minutes. After that there is an additional 01:30 minutes of music to be used at the discretion of radio stations.

Host Intro (if aired before the Oscars):
Paparazzi photos are making headlines all over the world this week. First, the snapshots of Britney, mid-shave. And on Sunday, there'll be the glamorous red carpet poses at the Academy Awards. Independent producer Pamela Miller-Macias takes us to the streets of Hollywood, where celebrities run, but they cannot hide.

Host outro:
