I heard somewhere that someone was texting at yesterday's matinee and Judi Dench tore them a new one. Is this true????
I don't know about that but my friend told me that Dame Dench auctioned off her bra after the show for $8,000!
I was there. Someone paid $10,000 for her to put the bra back on
Does anyone know if they're already selling the cast recording...err soundtrack...in the lobby? Should I just wait to buy the Barnes & Noble special edition instead?
Just so you all know, despite the rumors, Mo'Nique was a doll at the Precious stage door. She mentioned being upset that attendance is down since the holiday movies opened, but they were handing out flyers for buy one, get one free Precious tickets. Also anyone who has lost the rush could see an evening show of Precious for a matinee admission price. Mo said the Mariah's twitter about seeing Precious "now or never" has upset a lot of the company because they aren't closing. Mo'Nique took pictures with me and signed my ticket. Mariah didn't come out but I saw Nick Cannon go in with a Chipotle bag, so I guess she stays in between shows.
Do you think Mo'Nique would be offended if I mentioned how much I loved her on Charm School? I don't know if she's trying to downplay that.
Will Judi Dench come up and play with my hair if i sit row s of the rear mezz on the side? I'm nervous she'll take of my glasses.
I think Judi is good at reading your energy and if she felt you weren't into it, she wouldn't do it.
Door is a noun, not a verb.
The only way someone could have doored is to actually hit someone with a door.
example: "Someone must have doored Kidman,
Look at her nose!"
Just got back, I guess they are not doing it in Louisville, cause I didn't see anybody. You guys that did get to meet people ARE LUCKY!

When I went, for some reason Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith were signing autographs. Why is that? They weren't in the show!
It's true that Dame Judi went off on the guy who was texting. He was two rows in front of me, and let me tell you, bitch is FIERCE. The guy left in tears. Judi picked back up like nothing had happened.
I KNOW that guy. He had it out with the box office to get his money back...they had to call the police to have him removed fromm the theater. He's aleady been in contact with his lawyers. I have "un-friended" him -- such an embarrassment. He didn't get the whole "names above the title" thing.
Here in Jackson, Mississippi, I waited at the door for HOURS! Nobody came out. BUT on the way home on the subway Judi Dench felt me up. She's FRISKY!!!
Met a few of the "guys in skinny ties" afterwards and showed them around the city. I had a really hard time getting them away from the Christmas tree, but they were extremely appreciative. I'm still sore.
(My morning coffee is shooting out of my nose as I read this thread. Love you guys!)
ALERT I know this isn't the right thread but i'm gonna do it anyways...
Anyone see Beyonce in the mat. yesterday? She had a score and a slew of people around her (i was sitting behind her). Who is she gonna replace??? Any thoughts?
I heard she wants to replace Penelope Cruz. Color blind casting is so stupid; who would believe a Black woman in Italy having an affair with Guido Contini? Goodness!
I was at the evening performance yesterday and Daniel Day-Lewis chewed out someone in the audience for taking pictures during "I Can't Make This Movie". What was cool was that he stayed in character and yelled and cursed at the guy in Italian.
BTW does the cast take pictures? I really want a picture with Penelope.
I asked Penelope last night if I could have a picture and she didn't understand what I was saying. "No comprendo" or whatever was all she said. She was smiling the whole time though.
I saw it at the mall this time and was waiting for Kidman and saw her duck out through the bathrooms in the food court so I ran after her and found her at the Orange Julius. She was really nice but kind of pissed that Panda Express was closed.
I'LL BET MY ENTIRE LIFE ON THE FACT THAT WINSTON HAS PROBABLY STAGEDOORED, BECAUSE HE'S REALLY COOL. xoxoxoxoox
I'm just not hardkore enough! Those fans are too crazy for me. I think I saw Phyllis there too - he whipped out his "pistol" when Danny boy appeared. This sh!t will make everyone go crazy.

I was at the 4:10 matinee yesterday. I really liked the show, but Kidman seemed a little tired (There has been a holiday schedule, et cetera!)...
The stage door was ectic, but thankfully I left through a random exit, and walked down the street with Cruz, who was so nice, she signed my program, and we talked all the way to the subway station... I think she'll be there all the time, so I think it's the spark of friendship...
Rob Marshall came out and told me that I was just a "fantasy" in his mind. He said his fantasy had turned into a nightnmare, and that when he woke he would decide not to make a movie of NINE.
Omg, I finally went last night and I sat in the front row! I was so close to DDL that when he was singing his saliva was just spraying all over me! Oh, and the show was really good too!
I heard everyone was lip synching. If they can't perform the required # of shows then maybe they shouldn't have taken the gig.
I also didn't appreciate the coke commercial before the show began.
Someone was filming it last night during "My Husband Makes Movies" and Marion Cotillard FLIPPED OUT. She stopped the show and ranted at the guy for like 3 minutes. Marshall said it was all a fantasy sequence in Guido's mind that represented how annoying bootlegging shows was in 1960's Rome, but I dunno.
