BAREFOOT 411. HOPKINS, WONDERLAND AND SCHOOL OF ROCK
HEY ALL HAVEN'T POSTED THIS IS A WHILE BUT THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW.
yesterday was a killer autographs collecting day starting with the Anthony Hopkins star on the walk of fame. This event was attended by Salma Hayek and new boyfried Josh Lucas. As well as Jodie Foster, Gary Sinese and Sir Anthony Hopkins himself. I went a little early as i have never gotten Hopkins in my years of collecting. Foster and Sinese signed on the way in (I did not get either one as Foster only signed a few). Hopkins said he'd sign when the ceremony was over and did not dissappoint. He did not sign a whole lot however. He probably only signed like 25 total autographs. But i did manage to get 2 from him. Salma and Josh did not sign at all and frankly I have no idea why they were there as neither one of them spoke or really did press. The after party for thestar was over at spago restaurant. This was real nice. Not only did Hopkins sign there (only 3 total, but I did get another) but Gary Sinese signed a ton (not his usual mood as he is not very nice on most occassions). Hayek and Lucas both snuck out the back andwe never saw Foster there. But Michael York of Austin Powers fame cameto the restaurant as did Stan Winston (both of whom were gracious signers) but Slash parked across the street to hit the ATM and many collectors got his autograph as well. Later that evening there were 2 Big Hollywood premieres. One at the Grauman Chinese Theater for Wonderland Starring Val Kilmer. This one i attended on the arrivals. Lisa Kudrow and Kate Bozworth were the only actors to come to the crowd and sign and i snagged 2 Kudrow autographs (she is very tough normally). Val Kilmer just waved and again Salma Hayek and Josh Lucas were complete stiffs.Some people walked to the event and i got them as well in a lower key circumstance. I got a picture with Ted Levine (who was the psycho in Silence of the Lambs and was in Super Troopers. He is now on a show called Monk which is real good) and Father Guido Sarducci (SNL fame) Not a lot of stuff but it was cool. I did not attend this event afterward but it appears Kilmer did sign one at the after party. I did however hit the School of Rock after party as there were a lot of decent stars there that i needed. The after party was down the street from the premiere. I was able to get the whole osbourne clan. ( i have to admit, i hate getting anyone other than ozzy since he's the only real "star" in the family) but ozzy was real cool, so was sharon and jack. Kelly only signed a few and was very picky. I also got Brttney Snow from American dreams, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters. I also got the entire cast of the movie on 2 programs from that movie. it was great. Jack Black came by and the little crowd and we started goofing around back and fourth as he asked "what do we do with this stuff?" some people told him we sell it and he just said "for how much" some guy said "$15-20" and he was like "reallllly" acting all surprised. Then he started telling us how he doesn't sign all that much and that we should save them cause they may be worth some real money someday. It was really funny. He signed my 2 movie programs and several photos. Then at the end he signed a combo shot of him and jason alexander to which i said "now this guy has a TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR ITEM" which jack just laughed his ass off at. we also got Arron Stanford who was pyro in xmen 2, Cindy Williams from Laverne and Shirley and many others. All in all it was an excellent night. imagine what you can get signed out here in l.a.? |

Thanks for the report, funny as heck about Jack Black!
Soon I'm sure there will be the usual "hammer on barefoot" postings, lets all just ignore those please. On 25 Sep 2003 19:12:33 GMT, (Barefootmk) wrote: snip |
