MTF Rant! Newsflash! Jenny McCarthy! Dolly Parton! Bette Midler! Fran Drescher! Autograph Offenders!
With all the deal of the week craze, I would like to let you know that there are a few celebs that have resorted by secretarial tactics and the use of the autopen.
Now, this serves as a notification for anyone who bought a Jenny McCarthy or Bette Midler Book… They are NOT authentic.
Bette Midler is notable for not being very nice to her fans. For Heavens sake, she said she loved to sign autographs on Jay Leno as she was a “nice” person, but then never signed for her fans when she was performing at a local theatre here.
Regardless, her books from Cole’s are not authentic. They match her secretarial autograph after Mike and I did some research. This doesn’t mean Cole’s at fault, but they are definitely not real…
As you can see, the In Person autographs are displayed on the left side, while the common secretarial through the mail (TTMs) are displayed on the right.
Sometimes it is just too good to be true… Why do they do it? It’s carelessness…
Fans are NOT Blind… This leads to my next one, Jenny McCarthy…
Target and several book sites have released “signed books” by Jenny McCarthy, the host from the view.
While they might be “signed,” they are not by McCarthy’s own hand… All these books are worthless due to the subjection of the classic autopen…
An Autopen is a mechanical arm that replicates an autograph infinitely, stroke by stroke, by any writing instrument that it is put within its grasps.

Regardless of what she says, they are NOT REAL!
In the words of Whoopi, “Sorry I’m about to rant. . .”
She is notable for wearing her birthday suit in Playboy…. And just because you can write a book, it doesn’t mean you are an “author.”
Of all people… seriously… seriously?
It’s ridiculously too easy… Your co-host, Whoopi, could do it… Why couldn’t you? Here is a video of Whoopi actually signing autographs for fans… Watch Here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=793188570693165&set=vb.181582881853740&type=2&theater
Unlike McCarthyism, I have actual proof… The books are signed by two autopens… Look for yourself…
Did she think fans wouldn’t talk? And anyone that looked at the stack of five books at target would realize they were mere images…

And, yes… Dolly Parton’s are not authentic… I don’t know which expert you are talking to, but I hope they didn’t charge you.
Overall…
Don’t CHEAT your fans… Fran Drescher, Dolly Parton, Bette Midler, and Jenny McCarthy, we find you guilty under the fanboy court of law…
It takes seconds to sign one book… It wouldn’t take long to do a couple hundred, or even a thousand…
Dedicate a day for the people who actually bought your worthless product…
Return the Product guys… Spread the word… Tag them… Do your part…
Fanboy out.

Wow! Great to know! Thanks for the heads up!
Good column. I get mostly records and CDs signed. If I get them by mail I will get them from Waterloo records in Austin, TX or Newbury Comics. Newbury has a huge list of autographed CD booklets from artists who have appeared in person to sign. Those are the only ones I trust to get ‘graphs by mail.
Also, I just received a Facebook message from Evette Rios, host of Recipe Rehab on CBS Saturday Morning. I messaged her, telling her how much I loved the show. She messaged back saying she would be happy to send me an autograph picture (free of charge).
I also messaged Janice Whitby, who played Fembot Katy on the Bionic Woman in the 3 parter “Kill Oscar”. She replied, but told me to go to her website to order a picture which is $25. Still debating on that one.
I was alarmed to hear about the Bette Midler books having bought one.
I e mailed Coles this morning who assured me that they had contacted the publisher who confirmed Bette had signed the book plates. The only thing I can say is I would welcome so more proof that these are not in fact signed by her and also was not expecting Coles to say anything different as they wouldn’t get the publisher saying any different.
I was friends with Bette’s old personal assistant. She used to sign Bette’s name all the time. I’m sure stuff like that happens all the time. That’s why I prefer to obtain signatures in-person!
To PM,
So was Bette a real bee-yatch or what?
