America Ferrera Signs Autographs Outside TRL

I tried to get video of America Ferrera at the "Live with Regis and Kelly" show yesterday morning, but she entered the show through the garage, and didn't roll down her window - and her windows were not tinted, they were painted completely BLACK! I had no idea she was going to be taping shows at TRL yesterday, so I was shocked when she arrived.

Tokio Hotel Signs Autographs Outside TRL

It wasn't posted on MTV's website that Tokio Hotel was going to be at TRL yesterday, but I was able to figure it out, because when Miley Cyrus was in town, her shows were taped on the previous Friday in which they aired. So, it looks like, when MTV says, "We are taking the day off to go to the beach," they are actually taping shows. I waited from 1:00 PM to after 7:00 PM for Tokio Hotel to come out. Apparently, they taped several shows yesterday, including Mi TRL.

Blake Lively Poses for Paparazzi Outside TRL

In the beginning of the clip you'll see me shooting video of Blake through the window of her SUV after she pre-taped the "Live with Regis and Kelly" show. I was disappointed that she didn't rolled down her window, but was very happy and surprised to see her at TRL. Yup, everybody was there! In stark contrast to "Live with Regis and Kelly," Blake actually stopped, and signed a few autographs at TRL. At the end of the clip is a shot of an autograph she signed for a fan.

Alexis Bledel Arrives at TRL

Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn were also at TRL yesterday to promote "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" film.

Mary-Louise Parker Outside the "Late Show with David Letterman"

Mary-Louise Parker graciously risked walking across a New York City street to take photos, and sign autographs with fans. Notice how she gave our camera a nice smile before she got into her Town Car. I was going to walk over to "The Colbert Report" to get some video of Toby Keith, but Mary-Louise Parker didn't leave the "Late Show" until close to 8:15 PM!

Richard Simmons' Grand Entrance Onto the "Late Show"

Richard Simmons is such an entertainer. As you'll see, he entertained the crowds inside, and outside the Ed Sullivan Theater. The first part of the clip is the behind-the-scenes view of his grand entrance. The bike actually took Richard onto the stage where Dave, and the audience greeted him with a resounding applause.

Luke Wilson's Decoy Outside the "Late Show with David Letterman"

We were waiting for Luke Wilson to arrive in a shiny black SUV, when all of a sudden we see him walking down 53rd street. It turns out it was a decoy. There was a tall blond in a black dress that was riding in the Town Car with him, that he didn't want to be photographed with. You'll see her exit (1:06 in the video) the studio moments before he does, and go directly to the awaiting Town Car. Luke didn't sign any autographs until he saw that she was out of sight. Does anyone know who she is?

Mindy Kaling of "The Office" Outside the "Late Show with David Letterman"

For some reason Mindy Kaling of "The Office" didn't sign any autographs on the way in, and only a few on the way out. She is like a d-list celebrity, and Luke Wilson, who is like a b-list celebrity, signed a lot more autographs than she did. Maybe she had a flight to catch, or was a little embarrassed by the extra weight she put on.

Pamela Anderson Signs Autographs Outside the "Late Show"

Pamela Anderson wasn't going to sign any autographs after she taped the "Late Show with David Letterman," but the poster (below) that Felix was holding caught her eye. You'll see her in the video pointing at the picture before she got out of the car, went directly to Felix, and signed the picture on her right shoulder. The other fans, and autograph seekers owe Felix bigtime!

Maria Bello Departs "Late Night with Conan O'Brien"

I almost didn't get video of Maria Bello who was on Conan to promote her new movie "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," because someone (cough Hal)told me that she taped the show earlier in the day. Thank God I ignored him, and went anyway! Notice in the video how the elderly lady (gently) slaps Maria Bello in the face after she gets Maria's autograph.I guess that was her way of saying,"Thanks Maria!"

Btw, Kevin Costner sneaked out through the garage. We tried to get him to roll down his window, but he refused.

James Franco Outside the "Late Show with David Letterman"

No one thought James Franco was going to sign any autographs after the show, because when he arrived at the show, he said he couldn't sign any autographs, because his wrist was sore. Apparently, he has been saying that for a couple of weeks. Maybe Pamela Anderson somehow healed his wrist, because he was in a great mood after the show. He signed a ton of autographs after briefly posing for the paparazzi.

I don't have any footage of his arrival, because I didn't realize the camera was recording for approximately TEN minutes before he arrived; so, when he got there I thought I was hitting record, when I actually stopped recording. I pray that never happens again.

Atmosphere Pulls Up to the "Late Show with David Letterman"

I rarely get footage of bands arriving to the show, because they usually get there very early for the sound check, but as I walked up, Minneapolis hip hop duo Atmosphere was just pulling up.
