Oscar Mayor Beemer
This could be a really long thread about all the celebs I got to meet at the Oscars... but I'll spare you that... so here's the Cliff Note version.............. Mark and I arrive LA Saturday AM. Rent PT Cruiser, check into hotel, drive around and shoot b-roll. Drove along-side Keanu Reeves backseat in a 3-series Beemer on Sunset with a drunk girl. Yelled out window, "Hey, I interviewed you at Sundance!" we chatted briefly at a stop light. Drunk girl pulled shirt up over face & stuck bare feet out window. Shot footage at the security-clad Kodak center during set up - saw Gary Cogill. Sunday - went to Elton John's party - accidently sat at "Guest of Mayor of Beverly Hills" seat. Had Sea Bass & glass of wine. Wine was very good. Had 2nd glass of wine. Live auction started, a bit buzzed - bid on Elton's piano for $80K. Had panic attack. Sold for $120K to wealthy, big guy with a pacemaker patent. Got a hug from Elton and some dessert with Elton's face on it. Waved at Trump - he just stared. Shook William Macy's hand. Went to the bathroom, saw Elizabeth Taylor next to a wheelchair. Stood at the urinal next to Eddie Izzard & uncomfortable pleasantries. Went to bar - bar out of water. Got a martini instead. Stared at Sharon Osbourne since she looked kinda weird. Interviewed Tim Allen & Kelsey Grammer (Kelsey dosent like Chris Rock). Security says "please put camera away". Ok. Got into VIP section. Video-d Elton John, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and got a drink for Salma Hayek. She wants a water. Bar is out of water (how can you be out of water????!) VIP section won't let me back in. Gave cup of ice to Salma across the sea of bodyguards. Taped John Waters, Christina Agulira, and Pat O'Brien. Security asks me to turn off my camera... "um... ok". Met Ben Kingsley - never met him before and he said "it's nice to see you again David". (oookay) Chatted with Kyle MacLaughlin while listening to & video taping the Scissor Sisters on stage. Security takes away my camera. I get it back and head for the valet @ 2:05am.
<----- Mr. Izzard (pin stripes) contemplates leaving Elton's party early.
