Failures- Witherspoon, Kidman, Kanye West, Hugh Jackman
Posted: Tue Nov 25, 2008 2:18 am
Today was a terrible day, thought it would be a huge day with all the people in town today. In the morning, I went over to Good Morning America where Reese Witherspoon signed about 8 on the way in, but I didn't have my 5x7 yet. I heard Tom Jones didn't acknowledge anyone on the way out of GMA. Picked up my Reese 5x7 and went over to Live with Regis & Kelly. Reese didn't sign on the way out of Live. After Live, I went with a friend to the Today Show. We along with 2 other graphers went to get Uma Thurman, she only signed 1 autograph (signed and personalized 8x10 for my friend). After Today Show, we went back over to Columbus Circle to go over to The View. A car came out and in the back was LL Cool J on his phone. LL didn't sign for us, but his car went back in then outside again. Simon Baker didn't sign on the way out of The View, probably because he was with his son. We went over to the hotel where Reese Witherspoon and Faith Hill were staying at, but left a few minutes after and before Faith Hill came back from her signing at Virgin Megastore. We went over to Late Show with David Letterman at 1 pm. Kanye West came in and waved at us across the street. Nicole Kidman came in and motioned that she would sign for us on the way out. We rushed over to NBC Studios for Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Hugh Jackman came in and there were 5 graphers. He only signed for 1 and the security started screaming at us that it was "private property." We went back to Letterman and heard Simon Baker didn't sign on the way in. Simon didn't sign on the way out either. Kanye West came across the street to us and people went crazy. The paparazzi jumped pretty much in Kanye's face. Kanye signed about 10, mostly magazines and 2 photos. Didn't get him because he was too far away. Nicole Kidman came out with her husband, Keith Urban and she went straight into her car, so much for telling us that you would sign for us on the way out 
. We rushed back over to Conan and there were about 15 graphers waiting for Hugh. Me and 3 other guys went to the exit and saw Hugh Jackman in his car. We asked him at his window if he could sign for us during a red light. He blew his nose and didn't roll his window down. We went through the Hilton Hotel where over a hundred of young cheerleaders were and the International Emmys were taking place. I went across the street to the Ziegfield Theater for the premiere of Australia, but the setup was crazy and I doubt they would sign any autographs. So I left and saw all the cheerleaders again on the subway going to an event.

That is horrible! But I know how you feel.I've taken days off work to meet celebs and nothing happens and it sucks because you took all that time and you get nothing.My friend who is a grapher said it best.....It's a gamble.It really is.Sometimes luck is on your side sometimes it isn't.He is soo right.
