A few observations on the autograph hobby, while I'm spending a few days in Las Vegas.
My friend called me from some club, and said he saw Eddie Murphy dancing with two different hotties. "Well..." I said, "He is a single man again."
His marriage lasted two weeks. Maybe he's looking for wife #3. Or is it four? I lost track.
I was done gambling for the night, and turned on the TV and opened my new Sports Illustrated. I see an ad with Bret Favre, that has his signature in white, on the page. And, a few pages later, I see an ad for ESPN. The entire page shows their different commentators, and other athletes. All of them, with their signatures right by their heads. I'm not sure why they did it, but it looks cool.
Then I see on TV, highlights from the SAG Awards the other night. Jeremy Piven is signing autographs, and someone says "At least you won a Golden Globe." I thought it was cool that he was signing, even after losing. Going back to Eddie Murphy, remember...last year he left the Oscars, when he didn't win for Dream Girls (and I'm guessing, with the show still going on and his anger, he didn't sign on the way out).
Entertainment Tonight showed Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stopping to sign autographs before walking into the SAG Awards.
When I finally switched away from the entertainment shows, and put it on Two and a Half Men...I see that Jon Cryer is planning to take a date to the Hollywood Bowl for a concert. Charlie Sheen is making fun of all the items he's packed. Cryer lifts up a stuffed dog, and says "This is my autograph hound, in case I get lucky."
Later, when he returns from the concert, it has a signature on it. He mentions the singer that signed it, but I didn't catch the name.
Both Charlie Sheen and Cryer have been good signers in the past. And, Sheen collects baseball memorabilia (at one time, he purchased the ball that went through Buckner's legs).
Someone should get the cast to sign a stuffed dog now. That would be cool (hey...they don't have anything else to do during the writers strike).
