I once asked Richard Dreyfuss for advice on making it as an actor (I was actually shoved upon him by a mutual friend, who asked the question for me and left me standing there like an idiot). Without missing a beat, he said, "F--- your way to the top," and took off.

If it's any comfort to you, I think I'm better than everybody else, and I'm a Hollywood nobody. Paris Hilton was absolutely certain she was better than everybody else, and that got her bony ass tossed in jail. All things being equal, I'd rather be sitting here eating pudding and hoping the pants I want to wear to a pointless studio meeting about nothing tomorrow still fit since the last time I wore them to a pointless studio meeting about nothing.

This entry depressed me. I hate thinking that all celebrities really believe they are better than everyone else. I know you don't know if this is true of him, but it seems that your friend who knows him thinks it is.

This must be the "I met Martin Sheen" comment section because I did too. I concur with everyone else here, he couldn't have been nicer.

Hard to say. Did he impregnate you on the spot?

Mine was with Clint. Trying to get to him for PR on our film, I couldn't get to him at an industry thing here so I followed him to a golf tournament and ended up nearly standing on his ball when he hit out of bounds. He had to ask me to move. Do you think that's a good impression?

So do the knowledge,
see if you can catch this
You know what I mean,
it's the Queen of Royal Badness

(I'm very, very, very, sorry that I know those lyrics)

See, I would have screwed that right up. I would have jibber-jabbered incoherently. I would have lost my drink down his shirt. I would have ended up hauled out by security. You...? You walk right past. Soooooo coooool.

2007-06-02T10:48:00.000-07:00

For the record, he didn't turn out to be an asshole. By all outward appearances, he's cool as hell. It's only our close personal relationship that's been on the rocks.

Shane Black. If writer's count, he'd be the dude. When I worked at the legendary Hollywood trade magazine, I once took Joe Esterhauz's subscription order over the phone and even that was a cheap thrill.

2007-06-02T10:30:00.000-07:00

Man. I love Edward Norton. I've seen everything he's done I think. I'd really hate to learn he turned out to be an asshole.

I stood next to Paul Haggis, supposedly guarding him from fans at the Expo two years ago. But nobody tried to talk to him, including me.

Later that same day I stood right next to Shane Black. I didn't talk to him either. He was all disguised, but people bothered him anyway.

My ex met my hero, Joss Whedon, while walking a dog and neglected to even mention my existence. One of many reasons he's my Ex.

I did meet and talk to Terry Rossio. So there's that.

Wait - do writers even count?

You lost me at "bare assed naked"... just kidding, Jules, you know I dangle off every one of your participles...

I have my own Martin Sheen brush with greatness. In the late 80s we went on a family trip to LA (big event for Candians)and on the return trip home we were standing around the luggage carousel in Toronto and Martin Sheen was there by himself. He was feeling the effects of first class champagne and while bumming a light off my dad proceeded to tell us about his The Believers movie and some cool anecdotes that I have long forgotten. We played it cool, didn't draw attention and he let us hang with him for a bit. Not one other person came up to him.

BTW, this is not my only brush with greatness, just one whisker off it

Oh, honey, I'm not sure I would know my own name under hypnosis.

Wendy, the rule here is you give Charlie Sheen the brush off in the event he should speak to you. Martin you can go ahead and make out with.

How many certified hypnotists were in the room, Julie? I bet a lot. Couldn't one of them help?

2007-06-01T22:01:00.000-07:00

He wasn't I was at the Emmys LOL. There is a rule that if they speak to you first it is ok to give them the big brush off right ?

2007-06-01T21:46:00.000-07:00

I hereby open the flood gates to all brushes with greatness. It's hard to beat the Martin Sheen is mysteriously in New Zealand angle but, damnit, I'd like you kids to try!

2007-06-01T21:26:00.000-07:00

All hail the Queen lol. I had an embarassing moment with Martin Sheen, he spoke to me first so I had to reply. For some reason he thought I was talking to him when I said run or our limo will leave, I was actually talking to the girl next to him who was sharing our limo. Then he proceeded to ask me where I was from,what accent is that blah blah blah. All I could think is just great our car is going to leave without us HAHA. I just looked at him and said sorry I wasn't actually talking to you. My husband said afterwards way to diss someone way over you in the food chain.
BTW The chocolate is great I just ate rather a lot of Cadburys. Off to the gym for me.
