Lindsay Lohan Probation Hearing at the Beverly Hills Courthouse

Where there is Lindsay Lohan, there is paparazzi.  Paparazzi marked their territory outside of the Beverly Hills Courthouse entrance this morning, arriving before 7am, for Lohan's probation hearing.  A paparazzo working for Splash News made room for me under the yellow tape to get a good view for Lohan's arrival.  It was interesting to be among the paparazzi, and to observe them as more than just photographers.  All though they were all competing for the same photos, they seemed like life long friends. They all seemed to know each other by each other's first names, and would catch up with each other on what has been going on in celebrity news.  They would even help each other with camera angels, and getting good views behind the press tape for when Lohan steps out of her car and walks into the courthouse.  The best part was watching them joke around with each other while waiting for Lohan to arrive.  One paparazzo yelled "Lindsay!" (when she hadn't even arrived yet) and caused the rest of the paparazzi to immediately turn on their cameras and turn their heads. The paparazzo from Splash said that unfortunately a Lohan photo with video will only go for about $200.  But that didn't stop them.  

Note to future paparazzi: Don't forget a ladder!
