Jimmy Kimmel Live
We were the first to arrive at Jimmy Kimmel around 4:30. We were so excited and got busy taking pictures.
Annette, Barbara, Lois, and me
Not long after people began arriving. It was hot and the line coordinators had us squeezed into a small area. A little while later the Gamer Girls handed out tee shirts and Gamer energy drinks.
About 6:00 we were finally inside the staging area where we stood some more, but it was at least air conditioned. We were seated in about the 4th or 5th row with a straight view of where Jimmy and the guests sit. I was right next to the camera. It's stadium seating so we were also at eye level. No, we weren't in the front rows because they are saved for the VIP guests. If you taped the show you can see us in the audience, especially Barbara with her beautiful fuchsia blouse.
The audience warmer, Don, began working the crowd and a few minutes into it my shoe fell off my foot! It landed behind the seat of the guy in front of Annette who was next to me. Soon all of us were distracted with trying to figure out how to get my shoe back. One of the people in front of us noticed what was going on and they told the young man in front of Annette to get my shoe. Soon the row in front of us were all trying to get my shoe back for me. Once I got my shoe back the entire audience and Don, the audience warmer, were staring at us.
Don asked something like, "What's going on? Is there a private party going on?"
I said, "I lost my shoe."
Don said, "Are you trying to pick up men by throwing your shoe at them?"
The young man in front of me said something like, "It's working," and he began rubbing my leg!
Don the audience warmer continued with his act, but every once in a while would pick on me about throwing my shoe at men. Later he gave me a souvenir for teasing me, a key chain with Jimmy Kimmel Live printed on it.
The show started, all I heard was blah blah blah until the Gerard came out. Gorgeous! There he was sitting in front of us and he was his usual fun self.
At the commercial break we were probably at the edge of our seats hoping he would look up at the audience. All the support staff came on to the stage to touch up makeup, set up the Wacky Wire, and talk to Jimmy. All I thought was, GET OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!!
Then everyone was gone, leaving Gerard standing on the stage. He looked up and smiled while he looked at each and every one of us. He looked back at me and pointed with his finger with a big grin and shook his head looking at all of us again.

He looked around at the rest of the audience and waved at the other fans who were sitting further up in the stands.
When show resumed, Jimmy and Gerard were a crack up with the Wacky Wire and the donut story! OMG the donut story!
After Nate's interview we were directed out of the studio to the outside concert stage to see the taping of the musical guest, The Used, which will be shown next Friday. We didn't stay long and had to walk around to the front of the building to retrieve our cameras.
Another fun night in Hollywood!

Gamer @ Comic con
Gamer is opening this Friday September 4 and I thought it was about time I posted my pictures from Comic Con. We went to the autograph signing at the Lionsgate booth to see Ludacris, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.
The line was wrapped around the Lionsgate booth.

The Ugly Truth Premiere
All my girlfriends arrived into town for the Ugly Truth Premiere. To start the day we had a relaxing lunch at the Roosevelt Hotel before we headed over to the Cinerama Dome.
This is my most favorite photo of the night even though it's so bury. Gerard was getting ready to pose with Annette and Lynne, but his friend interrupted. Gerard turned, walked a few steps away, and spoke to his friend. We all looked at each other a little disappointed because we thought they had missed their opportunity. We all had the look of -- oh well at least they got to talk to Gerard. We couldn't move because a crowd had swelled around us following Gerard out the theater. Then all of a sudden Gerard turned and walked back to Annette and Lynne, pulled them close and asked, "Where were we girls?" He was already posing and leaning in! The look on Lynne's face -- PRICELESS! I think he's holding her up!
Megan, Gerard, and me
The day was a typical for a hot Southern California summer, so we decided not to stand in the sun. We relaxed at Club Sushi, sipping drinks, and eating on the shady patio.
The Wild Bunch in line waiting to go inside the Cinerama Dome
We picked up a young man, Ben, who was in line alone. Ben agreed, we were the Wild Bunch!
Once inside the Cinerama Dome, we watched as the stars outside made their way across the red carpet through the windows. I love premieres at the Cinerama Dome. It's smaller, yes, but you miss seeing the red carpet experience if you are inside at Grauman's Chinese.

On our way to find our seats we spotted just about every member from the cast of Grey's Anatomy. Two handsome guys sat down next to me and I felt badly when I decided to make a trip to restroom. On the way back from the restroom the guy next to me teased me by saying I couldn't pass unless I said the secret pass word... I didn't know what to say and just smiled and said, "Pleeeesssseee?"
He laughed and let me pass. I noticed again what a cutie the guy was and the purple shirt he was wearing even in the dimly lit theater.
The lights flashed off and on so the room settled down waiting for the movie to begin. I turned and saw Gerard Butler find his seat about three or four rows behind us and to the left.
The movie was very raunchy, but laugh out loud funny. Even though it's a romantic comedy, I think it's one men can enjoy also.
After the movie we made our way up the isle. Stopped in the crowd of people, a woman near us yells, "Gerry do you have anymore gum?"
In the darkness I noticed how beautiful she was and the necklace she wore, a short choker length made up of multi strands of pearls.
In the row behind her, Gerry, short for Gerard, turns while looking in his pockets and says, "Sorry, no."
Still stuck behind the crowd moving up the isle, Gerard is now next to me, but with his back turned towards me because he is greeting someone.
Next thing I knew, Gerard is walking along making his way up the isle, I touched him on the arm, he turned and said, "Oh hello!"
He greeted me with a hug and a kiss. I think he asked me how I liked the movie, I told him I loved it, and then I introduced him to my friend Sandy. He shook Sandy's hand and they chatted while we walked up the isle with him and out to the lobby where we met up with the rest our group.
Gerard was generous, stopping to talk and take pictures with us in the lobby, he even introduced us to some of his friends as well as Mark Neveldine, one of the directors of him new movie, Gamer.

Megan, Gerard, and me
There were 3 cameras pointed at Maree and Gerard, this was the best picture, but they were looking at different cameras.
We had more pictures, but unfortunately they turned out terrible, taken with our cell phones and the bad lighting. We never know if we are allowed to bring cameras inside the theater, so we left them in the car. I was so disappointed when I saw people with cameras, oh well next time!
The premiere was great, Gerard, wonderful as always. I had opportunity to tell him, "I don't know how you do it, everyone yelling your name, it's crazy! Thank you so much, you're wonderful to take the time with us."
He shrugged. "I know, it's crazy." He grinned and gave me a hug.
Still smiling!
PS A few days later my friend Sandy emailed to tell me I have to watch a video from the Red Carpet because the guy sitting next to me during the movie is in it! LOL! The guy sitting next was Rocco DiSpirito! And he was in the film, he plays the chef in the movie! LOL!
Also, after watching the Red Carpet video, I realized who the woman was asking Gerard for gum, Katherine Heigl! I know -- Duh! But to be fair, the house lights were still off and her hair was dyed brown!
