bullet Renee Zellweger gifts $100 coffee voucher to paparazzo corner

Hollywood actress Renee Zellweger gifted a photographer a $100 coffee voucher after he saved her from getting a parking fine.

The 'Bridget Jones's Diary' star was in the middle of ordering her drinks in Santa Monica when a paparazzo outside spotted her parking meter was about to expire. He put a few coins in the meter, saving her from being fined by a traffic warden.

So as a token of thanks, Zellweger presented the photographer with a $100 Starbucks voucher, reports dailymail.co.uk.

On the back of the voucher, she wrote a note saying: 'Wow. Thank you so much for the kindness. Warmly, with gratitude. Renee.'

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Los Angeles news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Los Angeles Herald is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Los Angeles.

We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Los Angeles weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Los Angeles Herald is for you.

Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
