Jessie Eisenberg -- the Oscar nominated actor from The Social Network (who was also great in the smaller picture The Squid and the Whale), told a great autograph story the other day on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
He's in the new movie 30 Minutes or Less (which is very funny), and it has a number of comedians (Danny McBridge, Aziz, and Nick Swardson).
Well, Eisenberg said that he once sent Swardson a fan letter asking for his autograph and saying how he thought he was one of the funniest…

I have a large collection of autographs from The Kids in the Hall -- my favorite comedy troupe ever. I'll never sell them.
It seems every five years the guys tour -- and they're good about signing before and after shows (at one show, they came into the merch booth 40 minutes after the show to sign items and take photos).
I've gotten all my DVDs signed, an 8 x 10 from their movie Brain Candy.
Well, the other day I drove up to the Irvine Improv…

I'm going to sell my Dolly Parton albums.
Anybody want to buy them?

I was watching one of those Antique Roadshows type of reality shows. It deals with people that go to storage units and buy them at auctions (the ones that people abandon). They often find autograph stuff in those.
They found what was claimed to be a "First edition" copy of Gone With the Wind, signed by the author. They had it checked, it was deemed to be a forgery. And the book wasn't "first edition."
(the Nazi handbook they had was real, and sold for around a thousand…

Did anyone see that cute little boy that appeared on The View?
He had been picked on by bullies at school and he got someone to video it. Not sure what happened to the kids doing the bullying, but this kid ended up being on a lot of shows to talk about it.
One of those shows was THE VIEW, and Whoopi Goldberg brought out four or five players -- including DeSean Jackson, the kids favorite player. His face looked shocked with surprise, then he started crying. And…

I saw a story about a game worn jersey Sandy Kouax had hand-signed from the Brooklyn Dodgers, going for $80,000. There are only one or two that have been known to exist of the Hall of Fame left-hander.
A glove…

I understood when people bought sections of the parque floor the Boston Celtics played on. I've seen parts of the floor the Bruins played on, signed by John Wooden and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (side note: wonder if anyone asked the big fella to sign Lew Alcindor while he was Kareem. I know Ali would sometimes sign as Cassius Clay after the name change).
Anywhoooo....I just saw that the wooden coffin Lee Harvey Oswald was buried in will be auctioned. And the wackos at the auction…

The Loose Canons is a great sports show on 570 AM in LA.
I guess you have to be a sports fan to enjoy it, as it’s all about sports.…

I was watching an old David Letterman from a few days ago, and he did a joke about Sarah Palin signing an autograph in Reno.
Someone had a flag they wanted her to sign. She glaldy obliged.
The only problem is -- there's a law that states you can't write on the flag (like we expected her to know that...hehehehhe).
Lettermans joke concluded with her apology. Which she typed up on a flag.

So, Jimmy Kimmel (the funniest late night show host) had Jenny McCarthy on the other night. I'm not a big fan of hers. She's hot, yes...just not as funny and clever as she thinks she is.
Well, her book is #3 on the New York Times Best Seller list, and she's on the shows talking about it and doing various book signings.
She talked about creepy 50 year old guys with their hair slicked back, drooling over her at signings and then following her back to the hotel (I…

I never watch Jay Leno, because he's really not that funny or good at what he does; but Dave Letterman has been repeats all week.
Well, Justin Timberlake was promoting Social Network (a great movie, if you haven't seen it yet). Leno set him up, getting him to talk about the Lakers and how they'd go all the way and win it all. He then brought out Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat (the team that recently won the LeBron James Sweepstakes).
Bosh gave him a jersey, and…

You know those goofballs that crashed a dinner at the White House? I think the woman ended up getting a spot on Real Housewifes of D.C., but I'm not positive. They got some kind of of reality show out of it. Well, there was a story about how on eBay, they were selling 100 photos of them autographed, for $100 each. None of them sold. The price was lowered to $50. None sold.
When the price was lowered again, they ended up selling 11!
It's nice to know autograph collectors…

In Autograph Magazine’s Top signers list, Johnny Depp usually makes it to the top 10. We’ve heard reports of him signing at a stop sign in his car, commenting that he’d leave if another car came up behind him.…

I saw a great documentary at a film festival the other day. It’s called Teenage Paparazzo. It’s a must see for autograph fans.
Even though it deals with the paparazzi that hounds the stars, you not only see lots of autographs,…

It's the one featured in Autograph Magazine months and months back.
I'm having financial hardships, and need to sell it.
Any questions on the item, email me.
It's not an album, but a picture sleeve.
Each signature can be seen clearly (aside from original drummer PETE BEST, who signed over a dark portion). You can see it if you tilt it right in the light, as it's a black sharpie.
Comes with: backstage pass from Ringo…

I've never been the biggest Morrissey fan. He's a bit to dark for my tastes, but he does have a few good songs. So did The Smiths.
When I was 19, I saw a crowd of a hundred fans surround his tour bus. He signed one album, and threw the thing about 100 feet, and walked into the hotel. It was bizarre.
Anyway, comedian/talk show host Chris Gethard was on Jimmy Fallons late show the other night, and he talked about how he showed up when Fallon had Morrissey on,…

Okay, so...that title might be a misleading, but it sounded catchy, didn't it?
Machete has come out, and it was as disappointing as I feared it would be. Great cast (gotta love Danny Trejo getting a lead part). The problem was--this worked as a funny, fake movie trailer in the movie Grindhouse. It doesn't work for almost two hours.
Anyway, I read a great story about Machete, the movie that's already grossed almost $30 million.
Danny Trejo, who has…

I'm a huge Black Crowes fan (I wrote about them, and White Stripes, in a column years ago).
Crowes singer Chris Robinson is a tough autograph to get. He'll sign, but just a few as he's walking by.
One time, his pregnant wife -- actress Kate Hudson -- was at the show. Now, I was once standing next to Kevin Bacon's actress wife at a concert (can't think of her name at the moment). She was dancing the night away.
Hudson wasn't dancing, and I thought…

It's always nice when a pro athlete goes above and beyond for the autograph seekers.
Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum didn't just reach over the dugout to sign baseballs and other items for fans before a Giants came a few weeks ago. He stood on a trash can to do it.
Usually players in the dugout that do sign autographs, have the items handed to them from a security guard. Lincecum, though, decided to take matters into his own…
