He's so funny-looking! And short.
He was signing copies of his book of screenplays at BookExpo America at the Javits Center in NYC (I'm a bookseller - that's why I was there). I told him I was a big fan of Hairspray and he asked "the movie or the play?" (silly goose - he obviously didn't realize it was a musical!) and I said "both!". It was fun.
But the real highlight was meeting Kim Cattrall!!! She was signing posters for her new book (about sex, of course!). She was incredibly sweet. I shook her hand and told her what a fan I was - it was a very surreal moment. I shook Samantha's hand!!!
Anyone else have any super-fab celeb moments?

Posted: 6/8/05 at 11:42pmI don't even want to think of those three in a group.

I met Ethan Hawke last week, after a performance of "Hurlyburly". He couldn't have been more gracious or polite. Such a nice guy.
A half-hour later, when the crowd had left, Parker Posey emerged from the stage door, wearing no more than a red nightgown and slippers. She was hawking a cell phone in one hand, and a cigarette in the other. When I saw her, I thought to myself: "Only Parker."
I also met George Clooney at Carmine's, and he was very nice. I met Salma Hayek at JFK. She was testy, but nice enough to sign an autograph on a napkin.
After Ashley Judd and Jason Patric gave a couple of fans (my girlfriend and I) some moments of their time, Ned Beatty storms out of the stage door and literally growls at us.

Posted: 6/8/05 at 11:45pmI actually DID meet Mink Stole, Joey, but whatever. You can not take people seriously and make fun of them and hurt our feelings but we don't care. I mean they don't care.

One can only wonder what Mr. Waters thought of Suzycat.

Posted: 6/8/05 at 11:50pmI can only speculate, but perhaps, "My, she's tall..."

Oh Namo--you're such a sensitive soul. But it's true--I sent you a PM with the details
Joyce DeWitt got more attention than John Waters or Tab Hunter. Tab was not pleased.

Waters and Stole are both SO nice.
I, like Rath, have had the chance to work with Waters (and Mink!), and they're both awesome.
