Fanboy Fail Friday! Ashton Kutcher Lives Up To His Reputation As Ashton Doucher! But Melanie Griffith Is Super Awesome! Autographs! Photos! And More!
Okay…
Fanboy Fails… Let me just put this out there. No one, owes me or anyone else an autograph. It’s true, I feel like I need to add a disclaimer to posts. I don’t feel owed anything.
However, there are times when I feel like, a diss is worse than others. Case in point last night.
I went out for Ashton Kutcher… I know, I know… But I have a Dude, Where’s My Car mini poster, and I love that movie. Plus, I have a few magazines, and I like some of his work even though he’s not going to be nominated for an Oscar anytime soon.
I texted Pinky, and told her to come.. Her response… “Why on earth would you go for that asshat?” Damn… I know he’s dissed the Pinkster a few times.
But let me tell you… There were five fans here… Seriously… FIVE people. No dealers. Two people had 8×10 photos they bought on Hollywood Blvd. A couple people joined in later so there were maybe 8 people.
I didn’t know it was an early taping, Ashton Kutcher was on a talk show promoting JOBS.
Anyway, he was in by the time I got there. Fine. When he came out… We yelled for him. He looked over, had a conversation with some friends for a few minutes. He then looked at us, smirked and left. I honestly, didn’t think he was leaving the show. I mean, it was odd to not even get a wave. I waited a few minutes thinking he was getting something from his car.
And let me say, there were no dealers, only me and the seven other fans, who got a total diss.
It’s odd to me you can’t spare a fast 30 seconds (honestly, that’s how long it takes sometimes, I’ve timed it) to run over for the seven people waiting. Seriously. Everyone sort of looked around and were like… Did that really happen?
He lived up to his rep as Ashton Douche-r that’s for sure, but man I was still shocked by it.
In contrast Melanie Griffith was also on the show and she couldn’t have been nicer.
She came right over and engaged with the crowd, signed one each (I didn’t have anything but still) and was adorable.
I would also argue they are at the same level of relevance. lol… It’s funny cause it’s true.
It does baffle me, that someone who makes Millions of dollars for one episode of 2 1/2 Men is worried that someone is going to make 20 bucks off them by selling a photo. I mean seriously, if half the crowd is fans that’s still a lot of people who you made really happy. So, the other half might make 20 bucks. Who cares?
Just checking it off in the old Fanboy Fail column!
Doh…
Until next time kids…

Ashton has said ( I think) in interviews he hates signing autographs and he really doesn’t get the whole fame thing. Ashton should be thankful for fans and seriously it only takes 5 minutes out of his time to sign a autograph and if he is worried about dealers he can write personalize it or he can just take a photo with a fan. I do not understand why celebs make a huge deal about autographs worry people are going to sell them on Ebay it’s simple just personalize it!
Sweet of Melanie to come over, but that second to last photo looks like her pants are on backwards!
@Onlyacollector He “doesn’t get the whole fame thing?” Then maybe he shouldn’t have become an actor. Ugh. And you’re totally right – Zachary Levi will ONLY personalize autographs or take pics. It’s a great solution. @Mikey have you ever heard Pinky’s “I’VE BEEN CLEARED FOR FLIGHT!” Ashton story? It’s AMAZING!
yup…i guess the reason why no dealers is they knew it was a waste. Too bad as he seems very nice on the camera and I guess he is not wall worthy, but a nice to have one. I’d rather have Demi Moore and Melanie Griffith.
