Could I get a photo with you please?

Orlando!

You Promised me on the way in, please!

COMM: Every day, Vanessa goes on a mission to add to her enormous collection of photos
with famous people.
The 27-year-old New Yorker has amassed a staggering 10,000 snaps of herself with some of Hollywood's
biggest names.
Outside her part-time job, the dedicated fan isn't afraid to put the hours into her unusual
pass time.
Vanessa: I would say probably at least six hours a day.
When Cher was in town, I waited like a whole week.
Getting celebrities is definitely the most important thing in my life.
COMM: Bar made Vanessa's obsession began at the tender age of five after a trip to Vegas
with her mum, also an avid collector of celebrity photos.
Since the death of her mother, Vanessa has made it her quest to snap as many stars as
possible.
Vanessa: I really personally feel like I have to continue getting celebrities just the same
way that she did.
COMM: Over the last twenty-one years, Vanessa has notched up an impressive tally of global
megastars.
Vanessa: Johnny Depp is definitely my favourite - all time favourite.
He's drop dead gorgeous.
Lady Gaga, she's amazing.
She's completely nice to everybody.
Brad Pitt, definitely hot, always hot.
Tom Cruise, that's probably like my second favourite guy.
COMM: Before leaving her home, Vanessa scans the internet and TV guides to find out where
celebrities might be.
Vanessa: One time I waited outside a hotel for like twelve hours for Vanilla Ice, and
I got Mike Tyson, I got like ten celebrities just waiting for Vanilla Ice.
COMM: Today, Vanessa is going into Manhattan on a hunt for an A-list star.
Vanessa: So we're on our way to try and go get Orlando Bloom.
COMM: However, today's waiting doesn't seem to be paying off.
Vanessa: Orlando, can I get a quick photo please?
Security: I told you - he don't sign or take pictures going in.
COMM: Despite the knock back, the seasoned pro remains undeterred.
Vanessa: I'm not gonna wait now until later, but we can go and get somebody else and we'll
be back.
COMM: Vanessa admits that her obsession is taking over her whole life
Vanessa: I would say I have at least 10,000 photos.
If my boyfriend told me it was either him or my celebrities, I wouldn't have to tell
him that my celebrities because there's other guys around.
Vanessa: Orlando!
Could I get a photo with you please?
