When Lindsay Lohan strode into "Millions of Milkshakes" (the local Celebrity hang-out) in WeHo the other evening - paparazzi, as usual - were in hot pursuit.
A media frenzy errupted in gay gulch @ Santa Monica & San Vicente as celebrity stalkers jockeyed for position.
One naive young dude shook his head, later.
"I don't get it, Crazy. Why do they stand outside the window taking her picture?"
I laughed.
Obviously, the kid was not in the topsy-turvy business.
I noted that Lindsay was the center of a media storm - right now - partly because of her unexpected witching-hour antics.
"She just got canned from a movie project. Is apparently in debt. And, some say, on the edge of a mental and emotional breakdown."
Also, because of Linday's tendency to fall down and go boom, the paparazzi wants to be there to catch it on film and reap the rewards.
"Huh," he stuttered.
"Well, recently she fell into a cactus bush. The photographer who caught that quirky moment on camera probably nabbed some big bucks for the shot if it was the best "capture" any of the paparazzi submitted to the news agencies," I added.
"They're probably hoping she'll trip and spill a goey celebrity milkshake all over her cocktail dress."
"Oh," he chuckled.
"Or," I mused, "Spill one on her to get the shot."
Then, was it my imagination, or did it appear that a light bulb went off inside the dude's calculating little brain?
Uh-huh, just betcha, he's going to dash out and buy a camera.
Next week, I expect I'll spy him shoving his way into the pack of wolves for a lion's share of the profits.
Millions of Milkshakes has become quite the hot spot, in WeHo, anyway.
Inside, the atmosphere is quite upbeat and visually stimulating.
Throughout the day, clips of celebrities concocting their own shakes on the premises, are featured on wide screens dotted about the ice-cream outlet.
There is even a Celebrity GPS tracker to follow the where-abouts of high-profile stars!
Of course, die-hard fans can also plunk down a few hard-earned bucks, to sip on one of their favorite milkshakes, too.
See 'ya there!
Pssst!
Pam Anderson can oft be spotted at Millions of Shakes on Santa Monica.
Her vegan Milkshake is on tap, so give it a whirl!
