Idina may not always come out because I think because she and Yate have recieved death threats due to their marriage..I think it may a security thing sometimes...but I could be wrong
I never said you said that, roxmysox. A lot of people do, however, or assume she has no time for them. You said you were disappointed with her behavior at the stage door. Consider her position.
OMG please stop it now!!! I antaganoized Idina and I wanted everybody to feel sorry for me and nobody does! Don't talk about it now... unless you wanna say I was right afterall :>)
Being a fan is great. Idina is wonderful. But grow up and realize that your favorite stars are people too. They need to be treated respectfully and cosiderately. You may "know" them, but they don't know you.
I met Idina a few weeks ago after a Saturday evening show, this was the day before the big news break of her and Taye's letters, and she came out. She signed everything people asked her to, but wouldn't pose for pictures, as the stage door guy told us moments before she walked out. I asked her to sign two things, a playbill and her "Here" CD. I was surprised she signed both, acually. After she signed my Playbill and started over to the next one against the barricades, I quickly asked if she'd sign my CD. She was nothing but gracious and said "Sure!" with a huge smile on her face.
Alright this might be long because this is going to be an honest post of how I feel on this topic. 1. All these really really crazy Idina people-why do you fixate on her? Is it because you are not happy with your own life and so you feel the need to live somewhat vicariously through her? Also, I do not think going "OMG you're Idina Menzel" qualifies one to be in this category as that is just excitement. It's fine to love someone a lot and be their fan and be excited to see them-just don't revolve your life around theirs. 2. In regards to all performers @ the stage door, I think it sucks as* if people aren't gracious enough to appreciate their "fans" and just indicates a lack of respect for the people who support them. (extenuating circumstances excluded, obviosuly) No one owes anyone anything but I would think performers owe it to themselves to act diplomatically at the stage door just like they would have to every moment of their lives if they finally achieved the celebrity status many of them yearn for. In stage door interactions it is both parties duty to act respectfuly, however I see more leniency on the side of the fan b/c they are just a fan while the performer supposedly is a professional.

I hope she sees a room with a piano player and a bunch of scary middle-aged queens sitting behind a table, talking to each other as she auditions!!"

Yell, scream, pull down your pants and yell, "Idina is my G-D and I pray to her everynight!" It doesn't matter.
The fact is, she is a person, treat her as such. Be happy she even signs your filthy little playbills in the first place. And hell, if you made me drop my coffee i would make you buy me another - that's hard earned money lost!
What would have happened if it was extremely hot and she burned herself. You dumba$$!
I drink their caramel macchiatos and once in a while I have a frap, but everyone and their dog owns a coffee shop around here so I've got a picking. I don't like how Starbucks over-roasts their beans.
Hey, can you believe I've posted on this thread without flaming anyone or bursting a blood vessel? That was certainly my immediate reaction the first time I read it. Snaps and props for me for my restraint!
