Comedy to Scary to Fashion SAY WHAT??

Well 2/16/12 was another day at Letterman.  I was planning to go to a filming location but it got canceled due to rain.  But I am going back today to check it out today.  Hopefully I will get lucky to meet some people.  So since it was thursday there were two shows and on the first show was Joan Rivers and Andrew Lincoln.

Since I went into the city early I got to the letterman studio around 1pm.  For most people who try and meet the stars this is pretty early because the stars don't come until closer to the filming time, but I had no where to go and I didn't know who would show up.  So I went to get some lunch across the street so I could at least wait a little bit of time until filming.  I must add that it was FREEZING and raining.  Not a good combo if you ask me.  I waited a few hours and I noticed that really no one was showing up.  I found it to be funny because I was so use to seeing a crowd all the time.  I think the rain had something to do with it.

Me and Andrew Lincoln

Me and Joan Rivers

Well eventually after waiting a while Andrew Lincoln had come.  Me and the few others who were there out in the rain started to yell out for him to come over.  I really didn't know who he was but I still took a picture with him. I thought it would be cool.  I gotta say he was a very cool guy.  Down to earth, and trying to sign everyone who gave him something.  He also took pictures with anyone who wanted.  He really is a nice guy.  Then he went inside to get ready.   Maybe 20 minutes later or so Joan Rivers showed up.  I yelled out as she got out of the limo "Joan come over to the little people".  And she got on her tippy toes and tried to look over the limo.  If you were there you would of have seen it was a little bit funny.  She did acknowledge us but since it was cutting it close to the filming that she had to go inside.  After when the show was done filming or at least they finished their part they came out.  Andrew Lincoln came out first and he came back to sign for a few more people who had shown up late.  Not too long after Joan Rivers came back she came over to sign and take pictures.  She was really cool and nice.

Me and Kristin Wigg

About two hours later the next taping was about to start.  I had been originally waiting for Kristen Wigg because I had met her at a filming location and wasn't able to get a picture with her.  She is just so funny and the first time I got to meet her I thought she was just amazing.  She arrived very late so she had to go straight in to the studio.  Now fast forward about an hour and I had been standing outside for about 6 hours.  I was freezing, wet and everything was hurting in my body.  Finally she came out and I totally jumped at the opportunity.  I kept yelling "Kristin PLEASE come over".  And she did.  By this time the rain was pouring.  And I was glad to get a picture with her.  Its not the greatest picture in the world but I don't care.  I still got to meet her and I was happy about that.  Now it was time for me to go home and get warmed up.

Reese Witherspoon and Michael Weatherly.. WHERE!... I'M THERE

February 13, 2012 was a crazy day.  I went again to the letterman studio to meet Michael Weatherly and Reese Witherspoon.  I got there around 2pm because I knew it was going to be crazy.  Reese Witherspoon brings a crowd with her.  Also that day there were swimsuit models doing the top 10.  They kept coming from 2-4pm.  As I waited the crowd got bit bigger by the hour.  By 4pm I was in the front waiting for the stars to arrive.

Me and Michael Weatherly

Michael Weatherly was the first to arrive. He was hilarious.  He reminded me of his character on NCIS.  Very upbeat and was just hilarious.  Michael Weatherly made a lot of jokes.  I asked for an autograph for my dad and a picture.  I enjoyed talking to him because he was so relaxed and he signed for everyone.  It was awesome.  Then he went in.  A few models came out to sign but not a lot.  Every time I saw a model I kept asking, “how tall are you”?  And the answers I got “ 5’9, 5’9, 5’9 and 177m”.  I did not see that 177m coming.

Reese Witherspoon

Not long after Reese Witherspoon had arrived.  Now everyone was going crazy.  I was having my head used as a board.  I kept yelling again about the little people.  I find it fun to do.  When she got to me I was talking to her about being short and how it sucks.  She actually had to pick up papers in front of my face just to see me.  It was pretty funny.  But about right after me she had to stop signing because security was worrying about her safety.  Which was understandable because people were bombarding her with pictures to sign.  You couldn’t take a picture with her but she was definitely signing.  You would think I would feel bad about those who didn’t get autographs, but I have to be honest.  I don’t and for a very good reason.  After she was done taping she went right into her car.  Nobody knew what her plans were but she couldn’t stay and sign more. Right as she get in her people go crazy and start booing her.  I saw her tell someone in her car “their booing me”.  It amazes me how rude people can be.  She could of signed more people maybe if they didn’t go crazy.  And some people have to remember they are people to.  They have lot crazier and hectic schedules than most people will ever have. 

But, moving on from that, I had fun.  I enjoy meeting new people and having a little chat.  I always try to entertain them for least a few moments because they always entertain us for years.

Another Day At Letterman

Me and Maria Menounos

I had a free day on 2/9/11 and of course I went to the Letterman studio because I knew they always had stars getting interviewed.  Today they were filming two shows so I got to meet a few extra celebs.  I knew Nicholas Cage and David Spade would be showing up.   I really wanted to meet David Spade so I went.  Nicholas Cage was like a bonus if I got to meet him it would be cool if it didn't I wasn't going to be upset.  Luckily as I was walking I ran into I guess was a filming spot.  I have no idea for what but the person there was Maria Menounos.  I asked if I could take a picture with her and I told her "Should never bet against the  Giants".  For those who don't know Maria Menounos had a bet with Mario Lopez about who would win the Super Bowl.  Mario chose Giants and Maria chose Patriots.  She was pretty cool about that and she is a very nice person might I add.

Me and Kevin Corrigan

I got to the stage door around 2pm. I saw a bunch of people already there waiting to meet celebs just like me.  Most of them do it to get paid so I knew today might be a little crazy.  For those who have never done what I do let me tell you this.  People who try and make money off of their signed posters by the stars they will fight crazy just to get something signed that might just even sell for a dollar.  These people will do anything.  Well I had a good spot up in front near the end of the gated area.  What's really great about this area is that you never know who might walk by. Kevin Corrigan was just walking by and he came over to say hi.  Of course I asked for a picture. He was a really cool guy for just coming by and saying hi and taking pictures with everyone there.

Nicholas Cage's face and my forehead

Around 4pm I think Nicholas Cage showed up.  He was a really down to earth guy.  He came right out of his car to sign.  He was on the opposite side of me.  People went nuts.  And since I'm short everyone used my head to hold things up.  So of course I kept yelling" I'm short don't forget about the short people.  Remember the little people.  Were here the little people".  I did get to meet him and he signed a picture I had just printed out earlier that morning.  I even got a picture with him and it is just to funny.  He is a lot taller than me so just for fun I will show you guys the picture.  Luckily when he came back out when he was done with the show and took pictures with fans and signed autographs again.  I tried for another picture but my phone didn't work, but luckily I got in another picture which someone sent to me.  Guess where I am. This just shows you how crazy everything was and how short I am.  If you can't see me look right in the middle of the picture.

David Spade and Me

About 2 hours later David Spade showed up for his interview with David Letterman.  I was excited to see him because I really wanted him to sign my dvd of Dickie Roberts Former Child Star.  And of course people still went crazy for him.  Putting papers in front of my face and trying to push me out of the way, and of course I kept yelling "Don't forget the little people".  He came by and I asked for a picture and I'm guessing this was either his publicist or agent and she said "this girl wants a picture leave her alone and move everything out of her face".  I really appreciated that because I couldn't see anything in front of me.  I took the picture and I haven't done this in a while take a picture by myself so I got him and half of my face.  I say hey why not let it be a victory at least I'm in part of the picture ha.

In all it was a pretty cool day.

A star in Twilight the Musical

Jenna Leigh Green and Me

Jenna Leigh Green and Me

On 1/16/12 there was one night musical about the movie Twilight in an off broadway theatre.  In all honesty I really could careless about Twilight.  I'm really not a big fan.  But when I read that Jenna Leigh Green was going to be in the show I knew I wanted to go.  I watched her on the show Sabrina The Teenage Witch as Libby and I thought she was cool.  I also saw some videos of her on youtube singing and she sounded amazing.  I had literally found out about this musical just days before it was happening and it was already sold out.  Still I didn't care I wanted to meet her so I decided to just go and wait until she came out of the stage door like most fans do. I got into the city around 7:30pm and the show didn't start until 8pm.  It was freezing that night.  I went in and out of stores just to keep warm.  Around 9:30pm I headed to the theatre to wait.  As I waited it started to get even more colder and it started to snow.  I did not expect that to happen.  While I was waiting I met some star kids fans.  Turns out some of the star kids were performing in the show.  Eventually the show ended and the actors were coming out.  It wasn't until about 30 minutes later Jenna Leigh Green came out.  I really wanted to meet her and I thought I might miss her so when she came out I literally jumped at the opportunity.  I held out a picture of her and said "Please will you sign this".  I think it might of scared her a little because I don't think she was expecting it.  She was really nice and I even got to take a picture with her.  Actually two because the person taking the picture didn't know how to do it.  Anyone who takes pictures with my phone doesn't know how to do it.  Its kind of funny.  Turns out the guy took two great pictures.  For someone who didn't know how to use it did very well.  Now if only my sister could take as good pictures.

RED TAILS

I just want to say that this premiere was the most unique premiere I have ever went to.  And probably I had one of my lucky days because I got to meet some people I would of not expected to be meeting and it was amazing.

January 10th, 2012 was the day of the premiere of Red Tails at the Zigfield theatre.  I was bringing a friend of mine sara to her first movie premiere and of course I was running late and she was already there waiting for me. She even met someone else who was waiting to see the red carpet appearances.  When I arrived I saw sara and I will call the girl Amber sitting at a table talking and looking out the window.  I brought food for me and sara to eat and we kept out eyes right at the window because something weird was going on and we didn't know why.  Normally when there is a movie premiere there are barricades on the opposite side of the road so fans can stand and watch.  Well this time there were no barricades and the entire red carpet was in a tent so we really couldn't see anything.  I was quite shocked because I never saw this happen before.  We finished our food around 5pm and when Sara and I went to throw our food out we both noticed a man who sitting at a table who looked very familiar.  Of course I dragged Sara with me to meet the guy.  And its no shock I made her ask who he was.  I've done it so many times I figured she should start feeling more comfortable with people and start asking who they were.  Turns out the man we knew looked familiar was no other then Chuck Knight.  He was going to the premiere and he was just waiting until it started just like us.  The only difference is that he had a ticket to go in and we didn't.  Well after we had a small conversation with him Sara, Amber and I went outside.  As the time got closer to 6pm we started to get nervous.  Something just didn't seem right.  We were standing across the street from the opening to the red carpet.  I could understand the tent because it was FREEZING outside, but not the barricades. When it did start we saw a few people arrive but none of them stopped to say hi.  They all were pushed in and were put on the red carpet.  I think security did that because they wanted things to go on a schedule.  Which is understandable but some people didn't really take that well to that.  After a while and seeing some celebrities we got to meet Terrance Howard.  He came out of the car on our side and he stopped to take one picture.  He was on a time limit and it was nice of him to take at least one picture.  Then security escorted him to the red carpet and we all went to back to standing on the sidewalk.  More cars kept stopping and letting people off but it was very hard to see.  Sara went to the the entrance to the theatre and when she got a good spot she told us to come along.  Now this spot was actually a lot better.  We could see the end of the red carpet and some of the celebrities were coming out of the theatre.

Bon Jovi

Me and Tia Mowry

Most of the celebrities on the red carpet went inside to the theatre so at first really I didn't get to see anyone.   While I was standing and waiting for someone to come around I started looking at the cars.  Random I know but I saw this man in a red jacket come out.  I started to think wait a minute he looks familiar.  And of course he looked familiar because it was no other than Bon Jovi. I really didn't expect him to be there but then again you never really know who is going to show up at a premiere.  Then to another surprise of mine I got to meet Tia Mowry.  I was shocked because I always thought it would be cool to meet her since I'm also an identical twin.  And also my sister Brooke and I tell everybody that I was with my mom while shopping and she was with her dad shopping and that's how we met.  If you don't know what I am talking about, I am refereeing to the show Sister Sister which Tia and Tamera Mowry starred in. Of course I kept yelling this out to her.  I was glad she heard it too.  I told her I was an identical twin and asked her if she was older or younger.  Sadly she said younger.  Sorry but I'm older and us older twins got stick together.  Yes I enjoy being the older twin.  But I was able to get over it after we both had the two minute difference between our sisters.  She said I was funny and of course I kept trying to be funny.  And as usual I wasn't.  But she was really cool.

Me and David Bugliari

Then after again waiting for a little bit Terrance Howard came out.  He came out with a few people and I wasn't excited to see Terrance Howard but one of the people who was with him.  When I saw this guy come out of the theatre I was like "OMG".  And to make sure this was the right man I yelled out "Are you Alyssa Milano's husband"?  The man I was excited to see was David Bugliari. When he was about to go back into the theatre I ran up to him and asked if he was Alyssa Milano's husband.  I am a huge Charmed fan and also an Alyssa Milano fan.  When he said yes I got very excited.  I kept telling him how much of a fan I was of his wife's.  I then asked him if I could take a picture with him.  He seemed surprised that I asked him that.  I was so glad that he said yes.  He came out of the theatre again and of course I still bugged him.  He was really cool because I was talking to him a lot.

Ne-yo

Tristan Wilds

Me and Chuck Knight

Me and Cuba Gooding jr

After the movie the stars started to pour out.  Ne-yo and Tristan Wilds came out.  A lot more celebs came out like James Earl Jones, Samuel L. Jackson but I couldn't get any pictures.  When the movie let out it went crazy.  So many people came out all at the same time.  I did get to meet Chuck Knight afterwards and get a picture with him.  Then Cuba Gooding jr came out and I was having fun with him.  I kept yelling out I will pay you $5 for a picture.  Then I said no you pay me $5.  I was having a lot of fun and of course I kept talking.  He said "You got a lot to say".  I said " I know that's what my mom says... then she says be quiet".  He laughed.  I was just having  a ball and I got to take a picture with him.  He's a really down to earth funny guy.

Terrance Howard and Me

Well after I was done taking pictures I made a last choice decision to go to the after party.  But on the way I passed a hotel where some people were staying at.  I will not name the hotel but I can tell you I met Terrance Howard there.  He was a nice guy.  I got to take a picture with him.  I then saw David Bugliari again.
I felt like I had bothered him so much that I went to apologize to him.  He is a very sweet genuine nice guy.  He said that it was fine and I told him I tweeted the picture to his wife.  He said that he would tell her and of course I had to say my twitter name ashtv43.  Later that night when I got home I checked my twitter and Alyssa Milano had tweeted me

Alyssa_Milano Alyssa Milano @Ashtv43 My husband had a nice time meeting you last night and said you were very sweet. Thank you for your support. ~HUGS~ I thought he might of been to busy to remember to even tell her.  I started dancing and screaming around my room at 1am when I read the tweet.  I was just so happy. I went to the after party and I was able to meet George Lucas but my phone died so I couldn't get a picture with him.  I must say I hadn't had this much fun in such a long time.  I was glad I didn't miss this for the world!!!

Other Desert Cities

Wow it has been a really long time since I have written in this blog.  I have just been so crazy busy but don't worry I have a few things to write.  So everybody get set and get ready to read.

On January 8th, 2012 I wanted to go see the show Other Desert Cities which stars Rachel Griffith, Judith Light and Stockard Channing.  At least those were the people that I wanted to see.  I went with my sister because soon she would be leaving for college so I figured why not go to a broadway show before she left.   We almost didn't make the show because we got lost 30 minutes before the show started.  Sadly we kept passing the theatre and not realizing it, but 10 minutes before the doors closed we found the theatre.  You have no idea how grateful my sister and I were.  We did not want to miss this show.  I must say this show was quite amazing.  It had drama but it always was lightened by some comedy.  They balanced out so well that it made the show enjoyable and entertaining.  Also, the actors were fabulous and I would go again to see the show if I could.  I really do recommend this show to anyone above the ages of 13 years old.

Stockard Channing and me

Judith Light and me

After the show I really wanted to meet the cast so of course my sister and I waited out by the stage door.  My sister Brooke was really excited to meet Stockard Channing and so was I and luckily she came out first.  Before the show Brooke and I were talking about a vhs we had of grease that was from a store and we forgot to return it.  It is probably about 10 years over due, so we figured why not get it signed. Okay I thought that and not Brooke.  So we meet her and she sees the tape and says "I wonder what that is".  It was really funny. Thankfully she signed it and was real cool about it.  We even got to take our pictures with her.  She is a very sweet lady.  I did get to meet Rachel Griffith and she was very nice.  I didn't get a picture with her because she seemed very cold and looked like she had to go.   She did sign play bills and take a picture or two.  Then Judith Light came out and I was like YAY.  I wanted to meet her at her other show Lombardi but I only got a signed poster while fighting some old men out of the way.  When I met her I told her I really wanted to meet her but when I tried I got bombarded by some old men.  She was like well  you got to meet me now. She was really cool and funny about it.  And of course I was excited to meet her. For it being so cold out that night the cast was incredibly kind to all of the fans who were waiting.  I was glad that I went.

Take a trip to the Letterman Show

Hey everybody.  I know I haven't been posting a lot lately, but don't worry.  I have been a little busy but I am still working hard on trying to meet celebrities.  Which leads me to this post being about at the letterman show.  I think this was last week.  I forgot the exact day.

I didn't have tickets to the Letterman show but I did know where the guests would enter into the studio.  So I decided to go an hour before the guests would show up.  This day was going to have Bill Cosby, Mark Harmon and Mike Judge.  Bill Cosby was filming the second show since on thursday they film two episodes.  I had promised my dad that I would try and get an autograph from Mark Harmon because he liked to watch the show NCIS.

David Arquette and Me

I sat by the area that was gated off for fans to wait.  I was really hoping to meet Mark Harmon.  Well as more and more people start to show up there was an unexpected guest who walks by us.  Who could it be other than David Arquette.  It was really cool to meet him.  He came over after one person started yelling for him to come over.  For him to do that was really cool especially since all he was doing was walking by.  I even got to take a picture with him.

Probably about 40 minutes later Mike Judge arrived.  I really didn't know much about him except that he created the show Beavis and Butthead.  He turned and waved to us and then went into the studio.  Then not to long after Mark Harmon arrived and also went straight into the studio.

I knew they would be coming out with an hour so I decided to wait.  So fast forward time and then we see a car getting ready for someone to be leaving.  Who is it but none other than Mark Harmon.  I guess he had to go somewhere because he jumped into the car and just left.  Of course some people ran after his car when he stopped at a red light.  And of course I was one of those people.  Sadly he didn't open his window to sign autographs.

Mike Judge

I ran back to maybe meet Mike Judge.  Even if I didn't know much about him it would still be cool to meet him and get an autograph.  What was really cool is when he came out no expected him to come over, but he did.  It was really cool, he was taking pictures with people and autographing pictures for people.   I got his autograph and was completely shocked.  He actually printed his name out and I have never met a person who prints their name.  Most just scribble lines or some weird marks as a signature.  He was really a nice guy.  I was glad that I waited for him.  Well of course I could have left that moment but I decided not to.  I thought it would be cool to actually meet Bill Cosby.  I was told he will autograph for people but he has security collect the stuff and he signs inside.  I must say that is kind of smart.  He's getting to a bit older and he probably doesn't like standing outside long.  My wait wasn't that long.  He came about 40 minutes later.  I got to see him in person which was cool.  I'm not upset that I didn't get a picture.  Just seeing him in person and getting an autograph was enough for me.

It was a good day for meeting celebrities.  I think I might go back to the Letterman show to meet some of their guests.
