Famed wonderboy director Brett Ratner was looking tired when we saw him exiting Hyde Lounge and Bara couple nights ago in WeHo. We don’t blame him – Brett had a long night after seeing Janet Jackson perform at the Staples Center and later attended the after party at the nightclub. We are wondering, though – wtf is up with Brett’s pants? Are they falling down or does he enjoy walking on 6 inches of denim? Very strange.
Beautiful girls and directors are nothing new. They have been attracted to each other for decades.
Brett Ratner was over at Russell Simmons Hamptons home over the weekend with his lovely new girlfriend. She does not look like a wanna be actress type and she also does not appear to be a Shiksa either. Either way, Helmut Newton would have been delighted to have made her photograph.

This is Brett Ratner superstar director a a major macher in the entertainment industry. Just like us here at Buzz Foto, Brett is having the time of his life.
Before being a famous director, he was an incredibly talented and prolific photographer. He befriended some incredible mentors by the likes of Robert Evans and Helmut Newton early on in his career. We are so jealous of his friendship with Helmut Newton. We saw Helmut in Paris and in L.A. on a few occasions, but never had the balls to strike up a conversation with him.
Brett, just went up to these icons and announced that he wanted to be their friends! Hey that is what chutzpah is all about. When Brett is not working or dating the most beautiful girls in town, he is working on his vintage photo collection. We would love to have one of our modern seventies prints in his collection.
Here is Brett arriving at The Ivy yesterday. Check out that determination is his step. We have that same determination here at Buzz Foto! Just watch us go!

Yikes, now THIS is a power dinner! Actor Eddie Murphy, director Brett Ratner and producer Brian Grazer had dinner at Maestro’s Steak House in Beverly Hills, California. Eddie and Brett walked together while Brian hid behind the two of them – you can just barely see his forehead behind Eddie. So like a producer, eh?
We wonder what these three are cooking up? We think Eddie Murphy is seriously funny, but his latest flicks have been terrible (remember Norbit?) But hey, they make money, and that’s what they’re after, right?
