The first official trailer for $ellebrity — celebrity photographer Kevin Mazur's insidery look at the "life behind the velvet rope and in front of the camera" — hits the web with remarkable timeliness, less than 48 hours after Alec Baldwin caused a brouhaha by shoving a Daily News photographer who was snapping pics of him and his lady friend outside City Hall.
