24 Hour Plays - Interesting concept, great charity event

Monday is the most popular night for Celebrity Events in NYC And tonight was no different (it's 2AM Tuesday when I am writing this). I had about three different events to choose from; Chita Rivera was being honored at the City Center by Liza Minelli and friends (& you know how I love her), then there was Tony Bennett and Wynona Ryder at Tiffany's, then Susan Lucci was being honored at the Waldorf=Astoria (I have no idea why they put the = between the words), but I chose Broadway and the 24 hrs Play, which is really a cool idea. It's six one-acts that are written, cast, directed and performed in less than a day - Tonights big star is Jennifer Anniston and a list of who's, who including someone who was on my list of people I always wanted to shoot - who I will include in my Year Wrap up. Pictured here are the crazy paparazzi at the After Party (AP) waiting for Jen. They are frusterated because at the theater instead of going through the stage door behind the theater, she snuck in the front door getting out of a cab and not the usual black SUV limo (a tourist, I later met, got the photo. My photographer friends said if they had gotten it, the photo could have been sold for about $1,000) The event: http://www.24hourplays.com/ Nia Vardalos and Rachel Dratch Anna Paquin of the Piano fame. I believe she was the youngest girl to ever be nominated for an oscar. Who is the girl to her left? Liev Schreiber with two fans (the tourist with the photo of Jen) I met from Minneapolis - Jane and Jamie (earlier Naomi slipped out a side door and hailed a cab) Seriously, what the hell happened to Andrew McCarthy (and this was him going into the party) - ugh all my youthful fantasies have been destroyed. Tom from the Queer Eye. He has a lot of excited girlfriends. The one on the far right seems to be saying, "ohhh he doesn't look gay, maybe I have a chance?" Lynn Whitfield, what a hottie and sweet as ever... Finally poor Jennifer Anniston pulls up in the Silver SUV. She was forced to use the trash room to enter the building. Right after this shot, I filmed the rest of the sequence as the photographers ran down the street trying to get that million dollar shot that you could see in People, US or Life & Style magazine. If the market didn't demand these photos, these types of incidents wouldn't occur. As much as I am disgusted by them, how can you blame them if the public has created the market.

Hello, Hughe. It's Jane and Jamie. We had so much fun with you and Simon last night! Thanks for being so friendly and sharing all your awesome stories. You helped make it a night we will never forget. I'm sure celebrities everywhere are thankful you trained in a couple more mini-stalkers! Here's my email address: jmeronuck@gmail.com. Any pix from last night you can send my way would be greatly appreciated! You can send any for Jamie to me, too, and I'll make sure she gets them. Thanks again and I hope our paths cross again some day.
