On literally driving the paparazzi away and portraits of shame

Jay Chou has a new album to plug, so he's been in the news lately for all the right reasons.

Wow, his 11th album, released on Nov 11, marked his 11 years in show business. Obviously, the man has got timing, and this includes his favored method of avoiding paparazzi, which he revealed earlier this week.

Speaking in his hometown of Taipei, he said that he often gets a friend to drive his car when the media is waiting for him outside a building. They follow the car, he explained, and then he slips away unnoticed.
