Celebrities: Caught on Camera

Buy This Item Celebrities: Caught on Camera by Sling Shot  Available from Amazon  $14.99  on 11-29-2008     <I>Celebrities: Caught on Camera</I> is a celebrity's worst nightmare. Armed with a video camcorder and a single, blinding light, the makers of this videotape troll places where they are likely to catch bleary, irritated celebrities looking and sometimes acting their worst. <p>The majority of the footage is shot in true paparazzi fashion in places like health clubs, on the streets, and in airports. Does anyone, famous or not, really want a camera shoved in their face after 10 hours on an airplane? One can hardly blame the subjects of this video for being annoyed. You may even find yourself cheering a bit for Tommy Lee when he takes a slug at a particularly vile cameraman after a night on the town. <p>The sight of movie stars hiding their faces and yelling at the cameraperson will soon grow tedious to even the most die-hard Pamela Anderson or Leonardo DiCaprio fan. <I>Celebrities: Caught on Camera</I> crosses the line between public personas and private life repeatedly, though uninterestingly, in what amounts to the video equivalent of the <I>National Enquirer</I>. <I>--Michelle Riggen</I> Reader Reviews This is a "Greatest Hits" compilation of clips from videos featuring famous celebrities who posed for Playboy. Duh. The clips are well chosen and very steamy. Best for me were Pam Anderson (pre-plastic surgeon and Tommy Lee - alright!), Jessica Hahn (a true sex goddess), Carmen Electra (who knew the video was actually way better than the song?) and Jenny McCarthy (she never, ever got as sexy on screen as she did here and that's a shame, IMHO). The downside here is (of course) some of the music. If you've seen a few of these Playboy vids you'll know what I'm talking about. Some of the music can be downright cheesy in attempting to catch the heart of these segments. But hey, that's what the Mute button is for so my complaint is again a small one. Interesting note: some of the scenes here are more surreal than what you'll see in the Hellcats in High Heels video (no doubt because Playboy has a bigger budget.) Sometimes the weirdness works (Jessica Hahn's quite steamy segment) and sometimes it don't (poor Erika Eleniak's near laughable segment). But you have to give some credit to a video that makes LaToya Jackson look sexy (her segment is way too cute too). So if you only buy or rent one Playboy video in your life (or you've already bought or rented Shagalicious British Babes and are looking for more heat from Hefner's hotties) make it this one.
