Manganiello Pulls a LuPone

If only...

** Known for his sexually-charged role of werewolf Alcide Herveaux on HBO's "True Blood," Manganiello returns to the stage in the Yale Rep production of Streetcar, which officially opens Sept. 26 for a run through Oct. 13.

Manganiello initially took to Twitter to address the audience member who was taking photographs during the Sept. 25 performance. "Dear person taking pictures during our show tonight... The ushers are going to be looking for you and you will be thrown out..." He continued, "...you are insanely distracting to all of the actors onstage and incredibly rude. If you read this, please leave and don't come back."

Yale Alumni Magazine also reported that Manganiello also addressed the audience member during a scene with Stella. "Can you stop with the camera? You have no idea how distractin' it is!," he remarked, remaining in character and returning to complete the scene. **

Pwn is a leetspeak (basically, Internet language developed by gamers) slang term derived from the verb "own," as meaning to appropriate or to conquer to gain ownership. The term implies domination or humiliation of a rival.

It just so happened her name is Patti LuPone. And so, the unfortunate audience member who was in the wrong got Patti LuPwned. AND A NET MEME WAS BORN!

I don't get why people feel the need to make fun of Patti for standing up for herself and her fellow actors.

Oh i don't make fun of Patti for for standing up for herself and her fellow actors. I make fun of her for being a horrendous b!tch and delivering her lyrics and lines like she's eating a pound of peanut brittle at the time.

I make fun of her for being a horrendous b!tch

You should hear what she says about you.

""I was at this performance .. Joe looked as though he was going to jump into the audience. Everyone was completely shocked when he stopped mid-line.""

Did he GROWL and his Eyes turn Red?? Im glad he did it some people have been raised in barns and care nothing or noone but themselves. but i must say, if hes going to come into the crowd and confront them, i just might have to go to the show and start taking pictures! haha
