Well today was the most bizarre on the trip so far.
It all started off fairly quietly as we drove over to Melrose Avenue first where theres alot of funky and designer shops.
After this we decided to go on abit of a celebrity house hunt and drove around Beverly Hills and Bel Air where they all live.
We found where Hugh Hefner lives and although theres no house to see with the huge walls shielding it we still decided on taking a photo of his front gates.Well after driving away and getting no more than 50 metres down the road a huge black limosine drove past us with the number plate '1 HEF' on it.If we would of waited 30 seconds longer on taking that photo we could of bumped into the man himself.
But that was just the start of things to happen that day.
We then went to Hollywood Boulevard where all the stars with famous peoples name are on the pavement before going into a small shopping mall next to Mann's Chinese Theatre or now known as Grauman's Chinese Theatre.As we were then about to leave the mall we noticed a red carpet had been laid down near the cinema entrance and also some film advertising boards around it.It was promoting Johnny Knoxvilles new film Daltry Calhoun.For a little while we didnt think anything of it until Jill said maybe all the film stars would be here tonight.So we stuck around for abit and people got talking and it turned out it was the premiere of the film and several of the people in the film would be here.
Well after standing in a good spot for photos for 2 hours we were then moved on and scrambled across the other side of the building with loads of other people to try and still get a good view.I stood there with camera in hand just in case someone famous walked in but still nobody did.Well 5 minutes later out of nowhere and to my astonishment who walks out of the lift only Quentin Tarantino.
Jill and i looked at each other in amazement before i thought shit photo.Well after he walked in several others also followed with Johnny Knoxville then turning up and several other of the cast of Jackass,Meredith Monroe from Dawsons Creek,Juliette Lewis,David Koechner,Ethan Suplee from American History X and Jack Black.
