imageDarryn Lyons, the pink-mohawked founder of the Big Pictures photo agency, has launched a mobile version of his celebrity gossip site MrPaparazzi.com, the Guardian reports. Aside from being able to access the Perez Hilton-styled blog, anyone armed with a camera phone can upload celebrity shots directly from their mobile phones to the agency’s site. Amateur paps get a 50 percent cut of the licensing fees that the agency makes selling the photos sent to its web site. You can certainly see the temptation…a recent picture of Gwyneth Paltrow surfing netted its photographer £16,000 pounds ($31,543).
