He&#8217;s so much taller and skinnier than I had imagined, but that smile confirmed that it was definitely Dwight.  It looks like he&#8217;s already having fun in his new city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9\/18\/12<\/strong> I guess those twenty-four hours were juicy for celeb sightings in front of hotels because later that day, <strong>Samuel L.

He was at first polite, asking to sit next to me on a couch.  But later on, he shoved me in the back, by accident, but when I reacted to the pain, he didn&#8217;t even apologize.  So, now I have to surmise that all the other reports on him are true, and that he&#8217;s aptly named, if you get my drift.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9\/19\/12 <\/strong>There are always celebs at gifting suites\u2014that&#8217;s who&#8217;s getting gifted!  Duh.  But at the\u00a0Secret Room, I was most excited to see\u00a0<strong>Lauren Potter<\/strong>, who plays Becky on <em>Glee<\/em>.  I saw this pretty little blonde girl in an adorable salmon polka-dot dress, spreading sunshine, and as I was smiling along, I blurted out, \u201cOh, it&#8217;s Becky!\u201d  I was happier to recognize her than she was to be recognized!  That&#8217;s the kind-of celeb I like.<\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8934\" style=\"width: 199px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3828-e1349285400174.jpg\" title=\"IMG_3828\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8934\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8934\" title=\"IMG_3828\" src=\"http:\/\/www.itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3828-e1349285400174-189x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"189\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-8934\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mayim Bialik choosing her props for the Wow photo booth.

(For those of you expecting a finger update from me, I wasn&#8217;t rude enough to sneak a peek at her digits.  Sorry about that.)  The funny thing is that my new young assistant had never seen <em>The Big Bang Theory<\/em>, the show for which Mayim is nominated, but the second I mentioned\u00a0<em>Blossom<\/em>, she perked right up!  That&#8217;s young &#8216;uns for ya.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9\/19\/12<\/strong> At the Pasadena Playhouse&#8217;s opening of <em>Under My Skin<\/em>, I felt like it was homecoming at the Motion Picture Home, in a good way.  There were so many talented seniors in the audience; I&#8217;m guessing they were all there to see compatriot <strong>Hal Linden<\/strong>.  The list included <strong>Doris Roberts<\/strong>, <strong>Sally Kellerman<\/strong>, (who&#8217;s still-skinny body I couldn&#8217;t be more jealous of,) and <strong>Joe Bologna<\/strong>, sitting two seats over from me with his wife, <strong>Renee Taylor<\/strong>.   Renee was right next to me, and I found it amusing that she chewed gum like a New Yorker for the first forty minutes and then fell asleep!
