Hungry for the Hunger Games?

Me and Joey Lawrence

On 3/20/12 the cast of the Hunger Games had a busy day.  They all had to be doing interviews around the city.  I had found out where they were staying.  I went there and I waited for an hour or so.  I had heard that they were all going through the garage and most likely wouldn't stop for autographs.   About 20 minutes before I left a celebrity came out of the hotel.  It was no other than Joey Lawrence.  I thought that was really cool because I never thought he would be in the city.  Of course me and a few others went up to him for pictures and autographs.  He really is a cool guy and down to earth.  When he was done taking pictures and autographs I asked him " are you going to grow back your blossom hair"?  He said " I'm trying". And he took off his hat.  I thought that was pretty awesome so I replied " Still looking hot". I have to say Joey Lawrence looks amazing for his age.  It is as if he doesn't even age.

I decided to go to the Letterman studio because Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were both filming their interviews that day.  I didn't get my usual spot when I got there, but it was decent enough.  It wasn't until about 2 hours later until Jennifer Lawrence showed up.  She walked right in, but they said she would be signing right after she got out.  I was excited and so everyone else  who was waiting and you could feel the tension for her to come out.  When she did everyone went CRAZY.  I felt bad for her because so many hands were sticking out towards her with books, posters, and any other Hunger Games items.  she skipped over a lot of people and one of those people was me.  But don't worry I would have another opportunity.  Well another hour past and then Josh Hutcherson arrived at the studio.  He came over and signed and again everyone went crazy.  He almost skipped over me until I said these are for my friends and he came back and signed.  I even got to tell him a joke.  I said " Josh you want to know how to become skinny as a stick". He said "sure".  So I said "  Just get into this crowd and you'll be thin real quick".  He laughed but it was obvious it was a bad joke.  I never said I was good at telling jokes.  Both Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson's did not take any pictures.  There was just to many people and they were all going crazy.  I thought I would try at the Hunger Game's premiere.

I went with some people to the theatre that was showing the Hunger Games.  At first it wasn't so bad, but when your short and you don't get into the front it just makes everything a lot harder.  Especially when  you also have to be near the paparazzi.  I can tell you that some paparazzi's are just some of the worst people you will meet.  Its amazing what some people will do for some money.  It was about an hour or two of a wait until they got there.  Some of the cast did come over to sign but they didn't sign that many.  But since Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence would be doing a book signing very soon we all knew they would be coming out with being there for about a few minutes.  As they went in I got to see some other celebrities go into the premiere.  I have to say this premiere was not publicized but that didn't stop fans from finding out.  I had gotten a better spot from when the stars went in.  So when they came out I was in front.  I was lucky to get all of their autographs, but no pictures.  I saw some really amazing stars go into the premiere so of course I was going to wait until the movie was over.

Stanley Tucci

Abigail Breslin and Me

Me and Jake T. Austin

It was about 2 and a half hours of a wait until the stars got out.  I was glad it was a beautiful night because it made the wait a lot easier.  As the celebs came out all the fans who waited were ready to pounce.  It was kind of really funny.  I first went for Stanley Tucci.  He signed my magazine and book and I even got a picture with him.  I thought that in itself was amazing.  Then I saw Abigail Breslin and went up to her and asked if I could take a picture with her.  She was really sweet and looks amazing.  I then saw Jake T. Austin and I thought it would be really cool to take a picture with him.  I had recently seen him in a Law and Order SVU episode and I must say he was quite amazing.  It was not an easy role that he had to play.  For those who have not watched his performance really should.  I got a picture with him and he was very kind.  It took a few tries to get a picture.  When I tried myself I didn't get him in the picture because he's taller than I expected.  Luckily someone took the picture for me.

The movie comes out this weekend and I am very excited.  I can't wait to see the Hunger Games!!!

Oh My GMA

Me and Lucy Hale

Me and Jean-Luc Bilodeau

3/19/12 I wanted to try and get a picture with every Pretty Little Liar cast member.  Lucy Hale, Shay Mitchell and Troian Bellisaro were all going to be on Good Morning America on that day so I decided to go and see if I could get any pictures.  I already got one with Troian so I decided to focus more on Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell.  At first I didn't think I would get a chance because there were just so many people, but right as they were about to go into the building after the interview I got a picture with Lucy Hale.  She was really sweet and kind to everyone.  I didn't get the greatest picture, but at least I got half of our faces in.  I wasn't lucky enough to get to meet Shay Mitchell, but of course that wasn't going to stop me.  Later that day I went back to the hotel that I first met them at.  Of course I wasn't the only fan there.  A lot of stars were staying at this hotel because of the up fronts.  While I was waiting Jean-Luc Bilodeau came out.  I got a picture with him. He seemed nice and a bit shocked from all the fans waiting outside.  I don't think he was expecting that when he came out.

After that I waited an extra few hours to see if Shay Mitchell would come out.  Sadly I had to leave at a certain time and I wasn't able to get a picture with her.  But after all it seemed like a pretty good day.  I met some stars, it was great weather and I can't wait to meet more people.

Who's Ready To Partay

Me and Joe Piscopo

On 3/16/12 there was an event to celebrate Jerry Lewis's 86th birthday.  The first part of the event was open to the public who had bought tickets.  It was basically a discussion about Jerry Lewis's career and he did some jokes and it was enjoyable.  At the end he did a Q and A with the audience and I went up to ask him a question.  I had bought him a birthday card and I wanted to give it to him because I didn't know if I would ever get the chance to do it.  I was really glad when he said I could give it to him and then he made a joke.  He said "I'm in room 712".  So I said "okay". And skipped all the way back to my seat which got me some laughs.  After the event there was an after party.  I didn't buy a ticket because it was expensive but I was going to see which celebrities I could meet.

Me and Paul Shaffer

When I got there most of the people just walked right in.  But afterwards when they were leaving they started to take pictures with fans.  I couldn't get Jerry Lewis because he was exhausted after everything. I did get to  meet Joe Piscopo and Paul Shaffer.  These guys were really kind and were taking pictures with anyone who asked.  I really did enjoy meeting them.

Oh My Stars

Liam and Me

Me and Keke Palmers

On 3/15/12 I wanted to meet the cast of Pretty Little Liars at the view.  Well I didn't get lucky.  But that didn't stop me from trying to find them.  I went to a few locations until I finally found where they were.  But first I went to one location and met a singer from the band called One Direction.  Its a Band from the UK that was on x factor.  I won't say the name of the location but I will say it was a hotel.  I got there around 2:30pm and there were a few fans of Pretty Little Liars waiting.  As usual I tried to talk with the other fans but these people were not so friendly.  I don't know why, but maybe they were like that because it was cold out.  So I sat outside of the hotel sitting by myself for about 2 hours.  I gotta say it wasn't getting warmer by the minute.  I saw some fans on the other side of the hotel going towards a cab.  I went to go see who they were meeting and it was Keke Palmers.  She was really nice because she was taking pictures with anyone who asked.

Me and Troian Bellisaro

After a little while a few more fans came to the location to see Pretty Little Liars cast.  I was talking with a few fans who told me they met Troian Bellisaro at a clothing store across the street.  I couldn't believe it. I thought I might have missed them again.  I guess I had some luck on my side because she came to the front of the hotel because she was leaving.  I was lucky enough to ask her  question about directing actors, and I must say I was amazed at the in depth answer she gave me.  I thought she would of just said something quick and short because she was in a rush.  I was and still am grateful for that moment and I even asked if I could give her my card just so I could feel a little bit special.  Yes I'm nerdy, corny and geeky.  I even got a picture with her.  She was really nice and she took my card.  Troian if your reading this THANK YOU!!!

Shay Mitchel was the next Pretty Little Liars cast member to show up to the hotel.  She was in a rush so she went through signing autographs and pictures quite fast.  I didn't get a picture but when she came back to leave she was all dressed up.  So of course I had to yell out "Your sexy and we know it".  I changed a few words from the LMFAO song.

Me and James Maslow

The next person I got to see was someone from Big Time Rush.  He was coming back to the hotel and he had his little puppy dog with him.  It was a husky and it was adorable. His name was James Maslow and I went up to him and said "I kind of want to take a picture with your dog more than you.  I'm sorry".  He said we could all get in the picture.  Ironically in the picture the dog got cut off so basically I look funny.

Lucy Hale

Then a little bit later on Lucy Hale was leaving the hotel.  I didn't get a picture with her but I did get an autograph.  She was being rushed, but she seemed pretty nice.

Me and Jada Pinkett Smith

Then the last person that I got to meet that night was a shocker.  I did not ever expect to meet her and take a picture with because she is very popular.  It was Jada Pinkett Smith.  She was very kind and was taking pictures with anyone who asked.

I must say I was traveling all over the city and not expecting to get to meet anyone and instead I got extremely lucky and met some amazingly kind people.  I was having a great day and am very grateful for it.

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.
