Job in Celebrity Gossip Industry

For someone with an admitted addiction to celebrity gossip I couldn't believe the following job description I currently found for London, UK. It basically sounds like you would be assisting the paparazzi as they run around trying to find celebrities every evening. Part time mobile editor / assistant for celebrity photographers Company Profile: Rex Features is Britain's leading independent photographic Press agency and photo library, supplying a daily service of celebrity, news and features to all newspapers, magazines, TV, online and other media in the UK and worldwide. Duties: Duties: Rex Features has an opening for a part-time assistant/technician to assist well-known celebrity photographers with "on location" editing and transmission of digital images to the media. Requirements: Requirements: Candidates will be confident in manner and fully conversant with current image management systems, Photoshop, Windows, Wi-Fi and other transmission systems. Must be able to work quickly under pressure and to tight deadlines. A knowledge of, and genuine interest in, the current UK celebrity scene is essential, and familiarity with US celebrities would be an asset. Must be able to commit to working between 1 to 4 evenings per week, sometimes until late, mostly in central London Hours: Hours: Vary according to event times Salary: Salary: £10 per hour with a minimum of £40 per night Website: www.rexfeatures.com

But this isn't your dream job is it Michal? I still have a hard time with the tabloids that say "exclusive photos" and show photos taken from a long distance through the bushes. What am I doing looking at them...

It could be a rough and tumble job I imagine...

hmmmm

No, I would feel terrible getting in anyone's face all the time. Give these people some privacy, for heavens sake!
Anyway, I am weaning off the celeb gossip. I think it has more to do with what their hair looks like, what they are wearing that I am more interested in.
