It's camo gaffers tape made by identi-tape. Not just paps are using it. Working pj's use it to protect their gear which gets used and abused daily.

I've got bits of gaffer's tape on my 70-200 and 100-400, but it's there to keep the AF and IS switches from being moved accidentally when I'm working. No way I'd cover my whole lens with something like that...

Don't these guys need a model-release form when they sell a picture?

Nope... As long as they are selling the photos to the tabloids, it's considered editorial use. Now, if they were to take the same photo and sell it to an ad agency who used it to sell a product, then they'd need a release.
Remember the flap over the use of an image of President Obama that was used in a jacket advertisement? Legally, the White House could sue the clothing company, their ad agency and the photographer who took the picture because the President didn't sign a release.
