For our first hero, we would like to pay tribute to Carl the Janitor from "The Breakfast Club." He is the lowest rung and most abused member of the staff. He also makes a living by picking up trash.
Luckily, Carl has found advantages to his lowly position: stealth and timely passive-aggressiveness. In his own words: "I look through your lockers. I read your letters. I listen to your conversations -- you don't know that, but I do. I am the eyes and ears of this institution, my friends!"
Even if you're not actively listening, being invisible around celebrities will no doubt lead to situations where you overhear and see things. They will make stupid comments. Weird personality quirks? Embarrassing health problems? Anger management issues? You'll eventually stumble across it. Congratulations! You are now the eyes and ears of your production.
However, now is not the time to go screaming gossip from the rooftops, calling in to Kiss 108, or blackmailing the principal. Your production company will fire you and you're easily replaced. It's better to hold onto this gem, no matter how much you think OK! magazine would want to hear it. They're slime anyway, and you're better than that! You're not the paparazzi; you're Carl the Janitor!
