I saw this posted on a message board...hope it's okay that I share without asking the person first, but this might have some more explanation as to what happened at the Whip It "meet and get stuck in the rain" event in Dallas.
Everyone should call, write and complain to the Kidd Kraddick show:
"My friend Eric Shirey of MovieGeekFeed.com was there as press and was equally upset. Poor organization and selfish press folks ruined it for all the fans there, he said. He said the Channel 21 girl made everyone wait so they could do a live shot on the Red Carpet with Drew, but he said the worst part came when the guy from Kidd Kraddick's show sucked up everyone's time by insisting Drew re-enact a scene from 50 First Dates with him. He said after those two idiots, there was no time left for all the wet fans to meet her. He never even got to ask a question of her himself. He is going to rant about the thing tomorrow on the site. "
I found these pics...so I think the dude that wasted so much time might be J-Si?
