So, it’s not every day I meet an A-list star, so I thought I’d better blog about it.

I interviewed James Earl Jones [insert squeal here] for my day job, and got to ask him all kinds of questions about his time at the University of Michigan, his career, his feelings about stars today. Oh, he totally mentioned Dakota Fanning. I have to find out if something scandalous happened. Did she beat on someone’s windshield with an umbrella? He made it sound like something went down recently with her, but maybe it’s one of those things you know only if your publicist talked to hers.

Anyway, we totally hung out at the Algonquin. It felt very glamorous to me, midwest girl who once climbed on top of a Babe the Blue Ox statue for fun. We hung in the suite where there was a Truman Capote letter framed on the wall, and I wonder if he (Truman) slept there.

To interview an A-list star there was, like, unbelievable. I did ask him to leave the outgoing VM on my cell phone, but he wouldn’t do it. I think it’s a Verizon thing.
