I read the article too. I don't know much about the U.S. copyright policy for newspaper photos or the paparazzi ones, but as far as I'm concerned, if he authorized the oil portraits, no photographer will be able to complain about it. He is the only who can complain about the public use of his image.
About magazines or studios, if the editor or studio owner has a signed paper about the photos for an article, sittings, etc, he also can complain about it, otherwise only Alan has the rights.
