Jeremy Piven Promotes His Broadway Play and Gets Chastised By the Paps Outside the " David Letterman" Show

While signing autographs, Jeremy Piven was promoting his new Broadway play, "Speed-the-Plow." He said to his fans, and autograph seekers, "Speed-the-Plow is open. Are you guys gonna come? It's up and running."

He was then chastised by the paps for being to close to the cameras. One pap said, "Too close. We love you, but not that much!" but as he walked into the Ed Sullivan theater one (gay) pap said, "Good to see you handsome!"

Lou Reed Mingles Outside the "David Letterman" Show

Lou Reed was in no hurry to get inside the Ed Sullivan theater. He mingled from group to group on the street before he went inside. When he got out of the car he mingled, then he signed some autographs, then he briefly posed for the paparazzi, and then he went back to mingling before he finally went inside the theater. He was taping the second show, so he was probably a little early. The tape is a little brief, because I only had a about five minutes worth of tape left, and I had to save some tape for Jeremy Piven's arrival. Time to hit up Best Buy, so I can re-up.

Sarah Chalke Poses for the Paparazzi Outside the "Letterman"

Sarah didn't pose very long for the paps, and she only signed a couple of autographs. You would think she would want her picture taken as much as possible to support her endeavors, but...And she appeared to be a little afraid of the autograph seekers, and her fans. However, she was like Tom Cruise compared to Michael Cera.

Molly Shannon Signs Autographs Outside the "Conan" Show

Molly arrived late to tape the "Conan" show, so just as I was about to leave to head back to the "Letterman" show, her car pulled up. She was really surprised by the pictures the autograph seekers had. She kept saying things like, "Oh you got that!" and "That's so nice." She also appeared to remember the NBC security guard from her "SNL" days.

Russell Crow Arrives to the "Conan O'Brien" Show Smoking?

I was surprised to see Russell Crow smoking when he arrived to tape the "Conan O'Brien" show - not healthy! However, I like the way he's humble, and doesn't mind sitting in the front seat of his SUV, and not hiding in the back seat behind the tinted windows like the other celebrities.

I like his long hair, beard, and jump suit too. Russell reminds me of my favorite rapper Ice T.

Ludinda Williams Departs the "Late Show with David Letterman"

Lucinda Williams took a long time exit the theater after the show. She may have broken the "time it takes to exit the theater" record. A lot of people left, but not Rudy, who is one of Lucinda's biggest fans or possibly her biggest fan. Rudy and I waited patiently for Lucinda's exit. He had his vinyl record and I had my video camera. Once Lucinda finally came out, she was really touched by Rudy, especially after he gave her a bouquet of flowers, and told her that she was his, "favorite song writer."

Tom Arnold Arrives at the "Conan O'Brien" Show

Tom Arnold was really gracious and nice. He signed everyone's autograph, and posed for pictures with fans, but I couldn't help but notice that he looked a lot older than I expected, and he didn't look particularly healthy. I Wikipedia'd him, and found that he's around 49 years old, but he looked a lot older; however, he recently broke his scapula in a motorcycle accident, so maybe that explains everything.

Bill Hader Departs the "David Letterman" Show

I can sum up Bill Hader's actions after he taped the show by quoting one of his fans who said, "He's so nice!" And yes he was. Bill signed everyone's autograph, and even made sure he gave the pen back to the correct person. When someone tried to take a picture of him, he was like, "Don't you want to take the picture with me?" What a nice guy!

(Video) Flavor Fav's Bodyguard Doesn't Allow Video of His Arrival to the "Conan O'Brien" Show

Once again, I wasn't "allowed" to take video of a rapper. What's with the,"You can take pictures, but no video." policy. Pharrell's bodygaurd said the same thing. Did Pharrell's bodyguard, and Flavor Flav's bodyguard go to the same bodyguard school? Furthermore, I can't believe Flavor Fav had TWO bodyguards! Why would he possible need that much security?

I told the bodyguard that Tom Cruise says nothing about video being taking of him, but rappers "...be OD'ing!" He replied,"But Tom Cruise has a lot more money." So, is that what this is about? The more money you have, the more likely you are to let people take video of you? I don't think so.

In the end, everything worked, because Flavor reminded everyone that he loved us by saying,"I love all y'all."
