"Who's the cat that won't cop out, when there's danger all about, SHAFT!"
Before all the special effects and matrix style cop movies, there were characters named Paul Kersey, Popeye Doyle, Harry Callahan, Frank Serpico, and my favorite from all of that era, John Shaft. Sure you might say I am stuck in the 1970's and retro is all right for a little while and I need to move on and get with the 21st Century movie technology. I hear that quite actually all the time. However for…

On your e-mail and twitter one i have seen a few more stars e-mails here lately.It seem a few each month, stars posting there own e-mails? or are they ? and where to contact. Do you think this will be one of the more ways to increase autographs.And to get a better result with…

I don't know the actors name, but he's the fat dude who played Hurley on the TV show LOST. He was on Jimmy Kimmel Live (who was a big fan of Lost), and he was shown one of the dolls that was made of him. He talked about how cool it was to have a doll designed after him. They made fun of the stuffing in the stomach to make it appear fat.
He then mentioned how shock rocker Marilyn Manson asked him to autograph one for him. He said, "I didn't know what to write on it. I think I…

Everyone should read the cover story by Kimberly Cole, her interview with Stephen. It's amazing.
Also, in the horror-sci fi column, which I seldom read (as I'm not interested in sci fi/horror as much), I always love the wonderful pictures provided in that column. Well, I saw at a convention, one guy is signing photos of Chucky, from Child's Play. They are signed by the "actor" that does the voice of Chucky.
The problem is...as a movie critic for SanDiego.com…

This is still…

Sometimes you just have enough. Brian Waring, a collector from Colorado, was one such fellow. He tried to sell a Beatles-signed Abbey Road and a Stones-signed Sticky Fingers album on eBay, but his listings were kicked-off because they thought they were forgeries. He was sure eBay was wrong—he paid tens of thousands of dollars for them from…

In London, a black gown that's a bit on the racy side, sold for more than $275,000. Lady Di wore it on one of her first official engagements, and a Chilean fashion museum snatched it up. But who wouldn't, at such a great price!
The dress caused a minor scandal when she was pictured wearing it to an event in 1981, but not nearly as controversial as Monica's blue dress (which I'm still surprised hasn't hit the auction block).
Apparently royals aren't supposed to…

You've all heard the story by now. Pitcher Armando Galaragga pitched a perfect game. These are so rare, only 20 have been thrown in the entire history of major league baseball.
But wait...the first base umpire made a bad call, saying the last runner was safe (video replay clearly shows he wasn't).
The commissioner even considered reversing that call and award Galaragga the perfect game. Doing that, though, would open a big can of worms.
Until a…

Last night and this morning I am hearing some very sad news about John Wooden, the legendary basketball coach for UCLA who won 10 National Titles from 1964-1975, that he is "gravely ill" at a hospital here in L.A. Though he is 99, and described himself as "at peace with my life" in an interview a few months back, It would seem this news is not good.
I post this for two reasons. I have been lucky to obtain about a dozen of his signatures over the last 20 years, attending the many…

In my Beatles signed record saga, I have an upcoming story about a relative that bought hundreds of tickets to a game in which a baseball record was going to be broken. All with the idea that this player would sign the tickets, they'd sell them, and split the profits. It didn't work out so well. Stay tuned for a future Autograph magazine for details.
It ties in to this unusual story.
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay threw a perfect game against the…

What a great idea and for a very worthy cause.
The ska band NO DOUBT is listing currently on Ebay a boat load of memorabilia and autographed items with all the proceeds going to several very worthy charities of the bands choosing. What a fantastic way to obtain REAL signatures from this very friendly, yet hard to track down and obtain in person, 4 member band. Known as one the friendliest bands for signing for fans, yet also known for some very sloppy autographs on the…

I was at a party in Encinitas (15 miles north of San Diego), and I met an entertainment attorney. One of his clients was The Beach Boys. Another was Barbara Streisand. He had some great stories about hanging out with them in the studio and having them call his dad on his birthday, etc.
Well, in the San Diego Union-Tribune today, there was a story about an 8th grader at Notre Dame Academy in Carmel Valley (here in San Diego). This 8th grader is the daughter of Beach Boy Mike…

As part of the promo release for his newest album, "Thank you Mr. Churchill", Peter Frampton appeared at an in store Q&A session, and even played a bit of guitar, at the Hollywood Guitar Center on Wednesday May 26th from 7pm -10pm. It a nutshell, it was a blast!!! As part of the continued "SESSIONS" celebrity serise by The Guitar Center, the crowd of less than 200, including press, squeezed (I mean squeezed) into the area of side room stage, and was treated to a night of pure and very…

In retirement, he worked as a gunsmith, ran a salvage yard and raised horses and cattle. He spoke often of the Navy as a good career choice for young men and women.
"His story will continue inspiring generations to come while also reminding us all about the contributions and sacrifices of America's greatest generation," said Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Alpine), a longtime friend.
Finn was particularly important to aviation ordnance specialists: sailors whose job, while…

Gary Coleman passed today. I interviewed him at the Chiller Con in 2008. He signed a few items for me after our interview. Here is a link... http://www.movieline.com/2010/05/breaking-gary-coleman-dead-at-age-42.php

One of these days, I'll get around to writing my column about actress Juliette Lewis (anyone remember her dad Geoffrey, who played Clint Eastwoods buddy in thos 70s films?)
Her and I have had a few autograph moments together that I'll someday share, when I run out of other cool column ideas.
Anywhoooo...in US Magazine, it said that she was signing autographs outside a bathroom on a Delta flight from New York City to L.A.
I always wondered the…

While waiting in line outside last night (5/26) to attend the Guitar Center (Hollywood location) in store interview and album release of rock legend Peter Frampton, Woody Harrelson comes riding up on his Triumph motor cycle. After being told by security to park it in back, he then comes walking up to the store entrance. Seeing my chance for basically a freebie signature, I asked him for his autograph. Right away he said no, he doesn't sign, blah/blah/blah......... . I indicated that if he…
