Another Cameo for Vince

Apparently, Vince has a cameo role* in the upcoming movie, 'Paparazzi', (opens September 3rd). (Maybe the cameo is just footage from a premiere or something?) Neither the official site nor IMDb list him, but this Yahoo! site does mention his appearance.

I wonder what Vince's thoughts are about the real paparazzi. Not the regular, on-the-red-carpet paparazzi, but the guys who stalk celebrities while they are shopping, dining, driving or whatever. I guess if you're a celebrity, you have to accept the attention that it brings and expect to see cameras every corner you turn. But how much is too much?

I felt very awkward when I hung around outside the after-party after the Dodgeball premiere. The stalkerazzi guys (yes, they were all guys) who hang out at these things are a strange lot. I felt completely out of place. But I figured it was my only chance to see Vince up close--so I waited.

Yeah, I got to see him as he exited the restaurant and jumped into his waiting car, but it was not the great experience I had expected it would be. Vince wasn't the least bit interested in stopping to sign autographs or pose for anyone. And that made me feel a little embarrassed to be there. The whole experience was fun and different, but I don't think I will be doing it again. And even though I'll occasionally still buy my trashy mags (In Touch, Us and People--they're a hard habit to break), I'll let someone else handle the taking of the stalker photos.

* He also had a cameo in Anchorman and in the upcoming, Pauly Shore is Dead. Check out the trailer for PSID. You'll see Vince looking ruggedly handsome. Here's an animated gif of his part in it.
