THANK YOU, SALLY HAWKINS.

Now that's what I call Fan Appreciation. Few Actresses in Hollywood today have the timeless charm of Sally Hawkins, who after having established herself well in the UK is just now breaking into North America.  She's endearing and consistently affecting every time regardless how much time she is on-screen. When her eyes water, my eyes do too. 

The Star of Made in Dagenham, Never Let Me Go and Happy-Go-Lucky actually responds to Fan Mail and in the odd occasion I do write to a Celebrity, it truly comes from the heart for me to even bother taking the time to let them know how much they have touched me.  Hawkins currently can be seen in Jane Eyre.

I received a signed Photo accompanied by a Letter today from Hawkins' Personal Assistant and am amazed at her complete and utter Humility. Her Assistant states that letters such as mine make Hawkins feel like "she's on the right track". Awww. 

Although I didn't think it was possible, I think I love her even more now.  Sally!

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY IN TORONTO FOR "THE LINCOLN LAWYER"

Matthew McConaughey in Toronto - March 2011

Once voted People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive, Matthew McConaughey has been quieter of late on the Film Front, but he is already winning lots of praise for his work in upcoming release The Lincoln Lawyer. The Film is based upon the 2005 Novel by Michael Connelly and centers around a Lawyer  named Mickey Haller (McConaughey) who works out of the back of a Lincoln Town Car around Los Angeles, while his Client works to pay off his overdue legal fees.  He must defend Client Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe) against Attempted Murder and Assault charges after being framed.

McConaughey is now in full promotional swing for The Lincoln Lawyer and just made a stopoff in Toronto at CBC's George Stroumbouloupoulous Tonight, plus doing an interview with that network's Ilana Banks also.  Banks gushed to me, "He sure had a twinkle in his eye and is proud of his new flick".  

Arriving in an Escalade - not a Town Car, which would have been more fitting perhaps - McConaughey was surrounded by a small crowd of Fans and Paparazzi, stopping to sign a meager three Autographs, mumbling "I'm  just going to keep walking" aloud. 

I will not be shy in saying that I possess one of these few Autographs, a gorgeous 8x10 of him in a Dolce & Gabanna Ad (seen right) reading "jk livin' (an abbreviation of just keep livin'), Matthew McConaughey".  Notoriously Paparazzi-shy, McConaughey disappointingly refused Autographs and Photos with Fans who braved the cold weather, as he exited the venue amidst flashing Cameras.  The Stroumboulopoulous interview will be airing at a later date.  Check his official website for details.

And why not one more Photo of the handsome Actor just for good measure?

THANK YOU, TOM HARDY.

Personalized Photo from Tom Hardy

Some Boys really have all the luck!  Thank you to Mr. Tom Hardy, for this lovely personalized Photo.  It made my day completely.  Huge fan.  *gush*

See Hardy next in upcoming Boxing Film Warrior and This Means Wear, alongside Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon.  He also has recently been cast in The Dark Knight Rises as Bane together with his Inception Co-star Marion Cotillard, Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman and of course, Batman himself, Christian Bale.

THE BACON BROTHERS KEVIN & MICHAEL IN TORONTO FOR KOERNER HALL SHOW

The Bacon Brothers (Kevin - L, Michael - R)
in Toronto - February 2011

Yes, he sings too! Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award Winner Kevin Bacon and his elder Brother Michael performed a nearly sold-out show at the Telus Centre for the Performing Arts - Koerner Hall last night here in Toronto.  It is said that the Bacon Brothers manage to perform an average of 50 shows a year despite Kevin's busy Filming Schedule and many a Fan have enjoyed their brand of Folk/Country Rock.

Arriving at the venue quietly Midday for a Soundcheck, the Duo stepped out to Dinner with a Friend, walking along busy Bloor St. in a nonchalant manner. Spotted almost instantly, a group of Fans and Paparazzi came out in the Cold and began snapping away, while requesting Autographs altogether at once.  Visibly uncomfortable with all the attention, one Fan reported hearing Kevin mutter "Shit, shit, shit...", but still posed along cooperatively with Michael for the Paparazzi.

CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER IN TORONTO FOR "BARRYMORE"

Christopher Plummer & Mr. Will-W.

He may be 81 years-old, but legendary Actor Christopher Plummer is showing no signs of slowing down. Known most recently for his Oscar-nominated performance (his first ever) in The Last Station in 2009 and his voice work in the Oscar-nominated Disney Feature Up, Plummer may just now be delivering his best work yet. Residing now in Connecticut, the Toronto-born Actor is back in his hometown, promoting TD Bank's upcoming limited engagement of the Play, Barrymore which runs at the Elgin Theatre from February 27 to March 9, 2011.

The Play is about celebrated Shakespearean Actor John Barrymore, set in the final year of his life, as he struggles to get back into the role of Richard III. Plummer is reprising the same role which won him a Tony Award for Best Lead Actor in a Play in 1997, in a story which might actually draw many parallels to his own life.

MARK WAHLBERG & MELISSA LEO IN TORONTO FOR "THE FIGHTER" PREMIERE | AUTOGRAPH GIVEAWAY

Mark Wahlberg & Mr. Will-W.

It was a star-studded day in Toronto as we were lucky enough to get an official Premiere for heavily Oscar-buzzed The Fighter and stars Mark Wahlberg and Melissa Leo descended upon Yorkville to do a full afternoon of Press.  The Biopic about Boxer "Irish" Mickey Ward's rise to fame is receiving accolades galore and just last week the National Board of Review awarded the distinction of Best Supporting Actor to Christian Bale for his portrayal of Boxer Dickie Ecklund, older brother of Ward.

Melissa Leo & Mr. Will-W.

I was lucky to spot Leo as she was out on a Cigarette Break outside her Hotel.  She plays the domineering Manager/Mother of both Brothers in the Film, Alice Ward, and I got to chat with her quickly about her performance, telling her how I found her outright terrifying.  Graciously, she thanked me for the praise and told me "Alice is actually a wonderful Woman and I loved getting to work with her on this Film."  Leo was  rather surprised that I would even have a Photo for her to sign, but in actuality, I've loved Leo's work of late whether it be her Oscar-nominated performance in Frozen River or her villainous turn in this year's Conviction.   "Alright Will, I'm gonna need to borrow your back to sign this Photo so I'm gonna need you to turn around", and she proceeded to sign on my back before confessing that she was actually on a bit of a Secret Break, then rushing back to do some more Press.  Amazing.

CHELSEA HANDLER IN TORONTO FOR "CHELSEA CHELSEA BANG BANG" TOUR

Chelsea Handler

Arriving just an hour before her Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang Tour Toronto stop-off at Massey Hall,  red hot Comedienne Chelsea Handler tried being incognito in a Hoodie, surrounded by an Entourage of Security Guards. "I've got to get to my Show, I'm sorry!" she explained to Autograph Seekers as she fumbled through two separate entrances, before finally finding the correct Stage Door.  Following closely behind was this evening's Opening Act, Chris Franjola who has gained a significant amount of exposure on her hit E! Network program Chelsea Lately, bringing that network much success in the late evening time slot upwards of 500k viewers.  In fact, this type of treatment from Handler is actually expected with her having developed a reputation of going above-and-beyond for "paying" Fans.  "I heard she (Handler) was a total Bitch to my Friend's Friend in Ohio too!" one young Woman in waiting said.

Chris Franjola & Mr. Will-W.

Taking to the stage at 9:30 PM, the 35 year-old New Jersey native-cum-Los Angelino delivered her signature brand of self-deprecating humour, venturing frequently to risqué territory. Handler found ways to poke fun about her obsession as a 9 year-old with Masturbation to her distaste towards Angelina Jolie, which she has v. public about in being good friends with Jennifer Aniston, former wife of Jolie's current partner Brad Pitt.  She went as far as to attack Jolie's untraditional naming of her Children, expressing sympathy for them in how it has become her goal to have her Family resemble an advertisement for United Colours of Benetton.

A key element to Handler's routine is how Asian interest groups have expressed displeasure consistently at her jokes.  "I used to speak to them directly, but now I don't even care anymore" she told the audience, explaining how we must be able to laugh off stereotypes.  "Racism on the other hand, is an ugly thing", she clarified.

THANK YOU, CHRIS PINE.

Chris Pine

Uh, yeah way!  THE Chris Pine, known for his breakout performance in Star Trek and Unstoppable, is currently in Vancouver filming This Means War alongside Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon. Somewhere between filming breaks, the devastatingly handsome Actor mailed me this beautiful signed Photo, which I just received today!   Amazingly nice and needless to say, I'm touched.

Pine can be seen next in the Comedy Ten Year alongside an ultra-hot Cast of Kate Mara, Anna Faris, Channing Tatum and John Krasinski.

*gush*

TIM BURTON IN TORONTO FOR MUSEUM OF MODERN ART EXHIBIT & AUTOGRAPH SIGNING

Mr. Will-W. & Tim Burton

A Man of many, many, many talents. Tim Burton is officially in Toronto to launch his career retrospective at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Beginning Friday, November 26, 2010, the New York Museum of Modern Art will be launching an Exhibit at the TIFF Bell Lightbox which includes Burton's drawings, props and more memorabilia from his celebrated career.  A career which has seen nominations for Awards of the Golden Globe and Academy variety.

But that's not all. Torontonians will have their chance to meet the Man responsible for classics such as Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland 3-D, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Burton will be appearing at the TIFF Bell Lightbox tomorrow between 4 to 5:30 PM, for an Autograph Session. He will only be signing copies of The Art of Tim Burton (Leah Gallo), Burton on Burton (Tim Burton), Tim Burton - Masters of Cinema Series (Aurelien Ferenczi) and Tim Burton Dark Horse Journals. Candid photos will be taken but there will be no posed Photographs with him; there will be a maximum two Autographs per person. Click here for more details.

Tim Burton's TIFF Bell Lightbox Display

I had the pleasure of meeting Burton earlier this evening on his way to a Cocktail Reception for his upcoming Exhibit and although not a Man of many words, he was v. kind to stop and pose for a Snap and signed a Photo for me too, before thanking me kindly for my support. Earlier in the day, I stopped by at the Lightbox and saw their new display for the upcoming Exhibit and it's looking all sorts of amazing. Can't wait to see the goods!

JAMIE OLIVER IN TORONTO FOR "THE ART OF COOKING" & "JAMIE'S AMERICA"

Jamie Oliver at Indigo Manulife Centre

35 year-old international Culinary sensation Jamie Oliver stopped off in Toronto yesterday to promote his new Book Jamie's America: Easy Twists on Great American Classics and More, as part of an exciting week of Celebrity Chef appearances at Indigo Manulife Centre.  Others to visit this past week included Nigella Lawson, Buddy Valastro and Gordon Ramsay. 

The charming Brit also hosted The Art of Cooking - An Evening with Jamie Oliver at Metro Convention Centre, where he prepared some of his favourite Recipes from the past ten years interactively before an audience of Foodies.  And in addition to this, Oliver did a round of Press in an action-packed visit which included an appearance on CBC's George Stroumboulopoulous Tonight.  And you thought your day was busy!

A self-proclaimed lover of Toronto, Oliver has made many a visit to the City and is said to have his favourite haunts including Queen St.'s Shanghai Cowgirl, where Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams were seen on a date together not too long ago.   

Being an advocate for healthful Cooking, he only recently won an Emmy for his groundbreaking Reality Series Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution seen on ABC.  The series saw Oliver visit Huntington, West Virginia - the most overweight town in America - working together with Locals to improve their eating habits.

Although I couldn't make the festivities, my good friend Cathy was sweet enough to send over some Photos from Indigo.  I did also get to v. quickly meet Oliver late into the evening and when introducing myself to him, he responded enthusiastically, "WILL!?  Shazam!!", before reaching out to shake my hand and personalizing a photo for me.  Although his Publicist was in a hurry to rush him off - unnecessarily perhaps - I cannot deny that he is every bit as wonderful as I thought he'd be!

It was a blink and miss moment, but I did manage to get a Photo of Oliver and will share with you that lovely personalized Photo from him I got below:

GLEE'S CORY MONTEITH IN TORONTO AT GEMINI AWARDS (PHOTOS & VIDEO) | AUTOGRAPH GIVEAWAY

Cory Monteith & Mr. Will-W.

Canadian Boys do it best and Cory Monteith is no exception. Although it has been documented time and again that Glee's Cory Monteith is wonderful with Paparazzi and Fans alike, I did not expect him to be nearly as generous as he was this morning on his way to rehearsal for the Gemini Awards. The Show which takes place tonight at Toronto's Winter Garden Theatre, honours the v. best in Canadian Television and Monteith plays Host to the festivities.

The strapping Calgary-born Actor cut his teeth working on Canadian-filmed productions like Smallville, Supernatural and Stargate before reaching mega-stardom eventually on Fox's Musical Comedy series Glee. Monteith who plays Football Jock-turned-Show Choir Boy Finn on the wildly popular series, admits to being awkward and one could sense that bit of shyness as he came out of his Escalade today to greet a lucky group of ten Fans, signing autographs and taking Photos. His Publicist and Security Guard stood back and watched-on supportively. And of the many Celebrities I've met in my life, I'd have to say if not the nicest, Monteith is definitely in my Top Three.

Don't forget to tune into Global and Showcase tonight as the Awards will be televised nationally from 8-9:30 PM EST.

Monteith was ever-so-amazing to pose for a Photo with me, signing my various Glee memorabilia. As always, I love my readers and want you guys to have one of the signed 5x7 photos he personalized! If you're in it to win it, please leave a Comment below detailing for me why it is that you love Cory Monteith (maybe even more than I do!). A winner will be picked December 23, 2010 as a Christmas Gift to one lucky member of my Mavenati, so please leave me some form of contact so I can let you know if you're the chosen one!

AUTHOR/SCREENWRITER/DIRECTOR NORA EPHRON AT INDIGO IN TORONTO FOR "I REMEMBER NOTHING"

Nora Ephron at Indigo

Author. Screenwriter. Director. Jew-ish (moreso than Jewish). Bagel & Lox Lover.  A New York City Girl through and through. Nora Ephron landed in Toronto today to promote her latest Book I Remember Nothing: and Other Reflections, a Collection of Essays which reflect on her success and life as an Aging Woman. A v. youthful 69 years of age, Ephron sat before an intimate audience of Fans at Indigo Manulife Centre, telling some humorous stories about her Career and fielded questions afterwards.

Ephron reflected upon her experience writing and directing 2008's Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep. Despite Streep having been v. concerned with physically transforming into a six foot-tall Julia Child, Ephron felt that Streep aside from eventually looking the part, has the uncanny ability to mimic others' voices (including Ephron's), in her 1986 semi-autobiographical film Heartburn. She went on to say that Streep has a way of Acting that authentically embodies the character rather than being a "parody-of....in a Dan Akroyd type-way".

Having written some of the most important Screenplays of our time like When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, Silkwood and Sleepless in Seattle, Ephron claims modestly that the success of these films is not so much due to the Script or the Direction, but moreso the Actors. There have been times where she has lacked confidence in her own Scripts, but after seeing a talented Actor bring her work to life, jokingly she'd call herself a genius afterwards.

On her creative process, she tries to write at most four to five pages a day while in work mode. Ephron admitted that she prefers writing much more than directing in that the pressures of the Cutting Room while fun, are intense and stressful too. She feels that many Film Directors today are fearful of Writers and this if anything, hinders quality Filmmaking. She recalls the Films she saw as a child not having to go through the scrutiny and edits they do today; as an aside, she grew up in family of Filmmakers.  It is for this reason that she feels Movies back then are superior than the ones being made today.

She touches upon this in the Clip I captured below:

BRYAN ADAMS IN TORONTO FOR BRAVO'S "LIVE AT THE CONCERT HALL"

Bryan Adams at MTV Canada

One of Canada's greatest male artists ever, Bryan Adams, flew in to Toronto this evening to do a quick performance at MTV Canada for its sister network Bravo's Live at the Concert Hall series.  Having sold over 100 million albums worldwide, the Grammy, Golden Globe and Juno Award winner is now promoting his new acoustic album Bare Bones, a first from label Decca.  The Album containing 20 of his biggest hits re-recorded with pared-down arrangements, is due in stores November 16, 2010.  Earlier in the year, Adams completed a World Tour in which he performed these new versions of his classics.

Outside the venue, the intimate audience could be heard clapping and cheering loudly for Adams during the hour-long set, before capping off the performance with 2002 hit Back to You.  As per Adams' Driver, I was advised that he would be in a rush to head off to the Airport after the show. Upon leaving the venue, Adams could be seen trying to finish a post-performance snack of a Banana. With a small group of fans waiting about for Autographs, Adams entered his Town Car before rolling down his window to personalize items passed his way.

One male fan asked Adams if he could simply just sign a photo without a personalization on it, to which he replied, "What's your name?  I'm not going to sign it if it's not to you".  Capping it off at one Autograph per fan, Adams' Driver proceeded to drive off, leaving a few fans disappointed.  Luckily, I got my copy of his 1993 Best-of Collection So Far So Good personalized, despite Adams admitting that his own signature isn't much to look at.  Love him nonetheless!

The broadcast of Adams' Bravo appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 9:00 PM EST, allowing for plenty of time for post-production and touching-up. You can refer to their website for more details  (thanks Kelly!).

Expressing a bit of displeasure at one fan trying to photograph him ("Get that damn Camera out of my face"), these are the best shots I could get of Adams as he would continually block shots with Fan Memorabilia.

THANK YOU, ROGER EBERT.

Mr. Roger Ebert

As I was going through my mail today, I came across an envelope from Chicago which I was rather curious about.  Quickly I opened it up and look what THE Mr. Roger Ebert, world-renowned Celebrity Film Critic and Writer for The Chicago Sun-Times, sent me!

I remember writing a long-winded e-mail to him earlier in the year expressing what a huge fan I am of his, telling him about my great admiration for his strength and determination especially during his recovery.  He continuously spreads happiness and love in what he does and I wanted to let him know how much it meant to me to see him pour his heart into his craft.  I  invited him to visit my Blog and left my contact information.  Even though I never got a reply through e-mail, this more than makes up for it.

Thank you, Mr. Ebert.  You are a great inspiration to me and my Blog! 

With gratitude,

MARION COTILLARD AT LITTLE WHITE LIES TIFF PRESS CONFERENCE

Marion Cotillard & Mr. Will-W.

Amazing!  I caught Marion Cotillard going into her Press Conference for Guillaume Canet-directed Little White Lies this afternoon 40 minutes ahead of schedule as she was to arrive at 12 PM originally.

Graciously, she took a photo together with me and I must say how gorgeous the Oscar winner is in-person, light on make-up and always   one to dress classic and simple.  She was v. generous with photos and autographs and personalized a couple photos for me, which will soon be mounted on my wall.  Her PR was v. clear about only being able to sign autographs with a black Sharpie as I was educated by Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven reader that there must be some type of a legal/insurance reason for this.  Interesting.

Check out some more photos of Cotillard below:

ELLEN PAGE AT TIFF PREMIERE FOR "SUPER"

Quirky was the word at Ryerson Theatre tonight during a Midnight Madness premiere screening of Super by Director James Gunn.  The Comedy is about a man who transforms himself into a Superhero after his wife succumbs to the influence of a Drug Dealer.  Sounds almost too ridiculous for words!

The film starring The Office's Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Kevin Bacon and Liv Tyler brought out a big crowd at the Red Carpet with chants for Ellen Page heard loud and clear.  And after seeing Page snub fans last year on a couple occasions at TIFF, she has improved upon her likability factor truly this year.  Tonight I saw her personally sign a whole slew of autographs for fans before heading into the theatre where she was met with a big hug by surprise guest Justin Long who called out to her, "Hey!  Long time no see!".  Pardon the pun. Unfortunately though, Bacon was nowhere in sight, although Wilson offered lots of Red Carpet antics with his crazy self.

Check out these shots I got of Page and some of her Cast Mates below.  I nabbed an extra autograph even for one lucky Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven reader, in addition to having her complete my own Juno Cast Signature Collection!  Give me a chance to catch a breather first and I'll let you know how you can win it!

TRUE BLOOD'S RYAN KWANTEN AT TIFF PREMIERE OF "GRIFF THE INVISIBLE"

HBO's True Blood scene stealer Ryan Kwanten stars in Leon Ford's Griff The Invisible, a Comedy about an Office Worker by day and Superhero by night, who falls in love a young Scientist.  The Australian film premiered at TIFF tonight, screening over at Scotiabank Theatre in a v. low-key affair.  Check out these shots I got of the handsome hunk greeting fans outside the theatre before heading in to watch the film with the audience. I might have even scored myself a new addition to The Mr. Will-W. Musuem of Signed Art!

ALYSSA MILANO IN TORONTO TO FILM SUNDAYS AT TIFFANY'S | AUTOGRAPH CONTEST

Alyssa Milano & Mr. Will-W.

Still gorgeous.  Teen Idol Alyssa Milano is a Survivor, after having found fame in an era where not many are standing today and still getting work in Hollywood.  Many of us who grew-up in the '80s remember her as Samantha Micelli in ABC sitcom Who's The Boss.  Many of us who grew-up in the '90s remember her as Phoebe Halliwell in The WB Network's Charmed.  Although her Film Résumé isn't cluttered particularly, she just wrapped-up filming for 2011 Comedy Hall Pass, the latest from The Farrelly Brothers.  In that film she stars alongside another Survivor Christina Applegate, Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis and Richard Jenkins.

As announced previously, Milano is in-town filming Lifetime Network's Sundays at Tiffany's based on the Novel by James Patterson which is about a Bride-To-Be who is revisited by the present day incarnation of her childhood BFF. She arrived last week as per her Twitter page and has been out-and-about enjoying the city with her co-star Eric Winter, posting a photo of them having Coffee at Holt Renfrew yesterday.  

On a top-secret tip-off, I caught the Actress and Humanitarian on her way out to a late Lunch today with Winter around 3:30 PM and she was just simply amazing.  There is nothing standoffish about Milano at all and that actually is not a surprise.  One of my readers John e-mailed me a personal encounter he had with her after she had discovered that somebody was forging and selling her Autographs.  Personally, she intervened and mailed him an authentic Autograph and get this - reimbursed fans who were cheated.  Wow.

Having been a fan of hers since I was a Kid, admittedly I was a bit Starstruck seeing her in-person for the first time today and I dropped my Camera (thankfully only after we got a picture together!).  Like a Klutz, I fumbled for my Batteries one-by-one off the Sidewalk, wishing her well as she called back "Thank you so much Honey!".  

GREG KINNEAR - COOL AND CASUAL IN TORONTO

Greg Kinnear & Mr. Will-W.

At last!  I've finally gotten a chance to meet the one and only Greg Kinnear. Oscar nominated actor.  Father of Miley Cyrus.  Smoothie Maker.  John F. Kennedy.  Chameleon.

Although I had a chance to visit the set of The Kennedys a couple weeks ago, I didn't want to intrude him as he was hard at work that day.  After being missing-in-action from Yorkville for a bit, it appears his children are back to school after visiting this Summer, and he's on his own again.  But he won't be Homesick for long as he'll be wrapping up filming of in his own words "that Kennedys thing" in a couple weeks.

I did get to chat with Kinnear for a bit as he headed out for Lunch and he was rather impressed at my photo taking skills.  "Wow, you're good.  That was really quick!", after boasting to him that I've mastered "One-Hander" Self-Portraits, which drew a chuckle from him.  Kinnear graciously personalized a photo for me, which I've already had framed too!

AEROSMITH'S STEVE TYLER IN TORONTO FOR CONCERT (PICS)

Despite much controversy among band members having been publicized in the media of late, legendary Rock Band Aerosmith, known affectionately as "The Bad Boys of Boston" pulled through for their fans earlier this evening at their Cocked, Locked and Loaded Tour show at Air Canada Centre.  As per reports on Twitter, lead singer Steve Tyler gave his audience a shocker in diving into the crowd - a vision of energy at 62 years of age. 

The band, regarded as one of the greatest Rock Bands of all time, performed 17 selections from their Anthology spanning 38 years tonight; 150 million albums sold worldwide.  Walk this Way.  Dream On.  Sweet Emotion.  Dude Look Like a Lady.  Love in an Elevator.  Janie's Got a Gun.  Crazy.  Misery.  I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing.  Need I say more?

I was able to catch the band, as they returned back to their Yorkville Hotel tonight, most band members arriving back in Town Cars; Tyler of course, had to arrive in a Limousine.  Wearing a skin-tight pair of green jeans, no shirt and a scarf around his neck, he is every bit a Rock Star off-stage as he is on-stage.  His Security Guard lined-up a handful of fans and Tyler signed autographs one-by-one and despite fans being told not to photograph Tyler, he overrode that decision encouraging us: "Take as many photos as you want, guys".  One cannot deny that Tyler looks great still and has every right to be proud to be photographed.

Of all other band members, only Tom Hamilton (Bassist) came out to greet fans.  Joe Perry (Guitarist, Vocalist) regarded often as the band's second lead, managed to slip into the Hotel without anyone's noticing. Perry has been vocal with his displeasure regarding Tyler's talks with American Idol Producers, which was done without his fellow band members' knowledge.  Tyler is rumoured as the likely replacement for Simon Cowell, who has guided the reality show to nine seasons of success.

Check out these photos I got of Tyler below:
