I guess I’ve been spoiled lately by landing some pictures along with celebrities so I forgot that they’re actually people who might want to be left alone. Elisabeth Shue’s car pulled up and she couldn’t be moving any quicker if she were in a race. She was Leaving Las VegEscalade or maybe she just took one look and wasn’t in the mood to sidle up next to my sweaty awesomeness on such a hot day.

 

 

It wasn’t her intention, but her assistant did make me feel like I had finally “made it!” As they were walking by trying to get her inside the building, her assistant put her arms up to block the cameras and started yelling “No, No…I said No pictures!” I couldn’t help but laugh to myself and think a) I am officially now a stalker since I’ve finally been yelled at and b) Chris in Adventures in Babysitting seemed so much nicer than this…

 

 

When I say she was blocking our cameras, I mean she was blocking cell phones. It’s not as if I’m walking the streets rocking a heavy duty Paparazzi-level camera with a lens as big as my arm or any equipment for that matter. I’m not crazy, although, lately I have toyed with the idea of bringing a little step stool around to make me seem taller in some of these photos. Nothing major, just maybe an unassuming toddler potty step stool or a little soap box.

 

 

Elisabeth, I’m a fan and I know Shue don’t owe me even one single minute of your time, but are you kidding?Yes – Shue are still awesome, but Shue were in Piranha 3D for God’s Sakes! You’re talented and all, but you’re only promoting a small role in Battle of the Sexes; I’m concerned the news of the upcoming Karate Kid TV series, Cobra Kai being greenlit might have gone right to your head! Ease on down the road there Liz…

 

 

 

As my own private protest for this egregious snub, I will no longer Wax on or Wax off when I think about Ali in The Karate Kid – take that Mr. Myagi! Full disclosure, I don’t really know the Shue story here: the assistant probably needed her to be in the makeup chair to tease out that fro and get ready for the appearance as it’s her actual job to get her places on time. My only saving grace was that she didn’t utilize the Larry David defense strategy and throw a big red ass up in the way! Still – maybe next time, just don’t block this chubby guy’s photo…
