The New Paparazzi
Don’t forget the camera on your next vacation. A chance encounter with a celebrity could pay for the trip—and then some.
A chance encounter with Mel Gibson in a Malibu bar will likely turn into a major moneymaker for the three vacationing friends who snapped photos of the apparently pie-eyed movie star.
Todd Hausberger, the 29-year-old Phoenix resident who was frolicking at Moonshadows that night with high school buddies Kimberly Lesak, 29, and Julie Smith, 27, has been told that the three stand to make between $80,000 and $120,000 from the sale of the photos.
“The life of the pictures will carry through any court proceeding involving Gibson,” says Gary Morgan, a co-owner of Splash News & Picture Agency, which has contracted to sell the images. “Unlike some paparazzi photos that have a short shelf life, they’ll be used over and over.”
With digital and cell phone cameras becoming ubiquitous, you could just stumble upon a million dollar photo.
