WHATS HAPPENED TO JERRY LEE LEWIS

By Unknown -
A year and half ago singer JERRY LEE LEWIS came to the Orlando area not to perform but to sell his motorcycle for over 300,000 dollars. Now most remember it's story as a legendary singer ( Great Balls of Fire) marrying his younger cousin and having a turbulent life that he has survived now into his eighties. Now though we have gotten many autographs and keep many of them we also pass them onto patients and many notable charities for benefit auctions more times than we ask credit for now and in the past. So we took a trip down to the venue and the staff of the auction house were cordial and sent a message to the manager of Mr. Lewis. After waiting for some time " The Manager " arrived and it was explained that the albums we were asking to be signed were for a charity event. The Manager looked at us and I quote " I do not have time for this.
Send a letter to us" and she walked away. So I composed a letter and sent it off even with a stamped envelope to assist them in a quick reply. So yesterday an envelope came to us ( A YEAR and HALF later) that showed me that there was no appreciation of a fan or good cause but all about the almighty dollar. As one can see " The Manager " wants 100 dollars for each autograph and places XXOOs all over the note. She sent me her picture with Lewis like One would want that. I guess she feels she is as famous as Lewis which will never happen. I truly want to believe that Jerry Lee does not know how this practice is alienating any true fans he may still have. Maybe it should be who remembers him and not assume everyone asking for an autograph are selling them. So I wonder what has happened to Mr. Jerry Lewis for many of us doesn't matter any more.

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach

As millions are THE WALKING DEAD Series is followed like no other show that I can remember and is without a doubt my favorite. Now like many celebrities they only time one gets up and close are at Autograph Shows where people pay for an autograph with their favorite star. Now I can not say I have never paid for an autograph but will never pay for a photo with. About twenty " professional graphers " were prepared at a site that we all know in hopes of meeting many celebs who were attending a one day event that some of us donated money for the survivors of the ORLANDO PULSE NIGHT CLUB SHOOTING. Several started to file by including Director Greg Nictero who though in a rush was pleasant to all. Some harassed LAUEN COHAN who even barked at many "You guys are ridiculous " and signed a few with a Scribble that no one will know in a few years. I did not blame her and many of these graphers should had left her alone. If a celebrity does not want to sign it is that and har
