I'm surprised anyone was allowed to make eye contact with them. Or was there something about that in their autograph clause... What a bunch of bitches.

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:09:52 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=18871#comment-130997 TC: They fancy this good PR, which is why they're doing it. tigerlille: this is not exactly the way these things work. I've been to book signings at that Barnes & Noble, and the limit on number of the book being promoted is usually limited to three or five, not one, and the no conversing/no pics rule is unheard of. A few briefly exchanged pleasantries is standard-- how do they know who to sign it to if you don't talk to them? The purpose of seeing them in person is for personal contact, and a photo at a PUBLIC appearance is not unreasonable, especially when you're spending $35 plus tax on their book. And the fact that they aren't signing a few hundred additional books for people caught at the end of the line is incredibly snobbish. These chicks are just weird, but not as weird and hypocritical as the PETA Freaks. TC: They fancy this good PR, which is why they’re doing it.

They are designed to ensure that as many people are able to get autographs as possible, so that people will not be disappointed. I encountered a similar situation recently at a book signing for Amy Tan following a speech she gave. In Amy's case, she has a chronic illness, and wanted to get as many autographs signed as possible before she had to stop because of fatigue. There isn't time for every fan to talk to an author, and those who lose their opportunity to get an autograph so that someone ahead of them in line can chat with the celebrity are not going to appreciate the situation.

We had everyone from Anne Rice and Stephen King (nicest man EVER) to Mary Engelbreit and Martha Stewart come in for book signings. We had to make some pretty stiff rules for the events...but not allowing the signees to speak to the author? Wow, that's rich. Martha Stewart was the only author we EVER had who seemed put out by having to talk to her fans, but she DID manage to force herself and just took out all her frustration at having to do so on the store's staff. So yeah...book signings are not film premieres. These little brats should stay home if they're gonna be such raggedy asses about it.

As a retail business we really had to control things for events so that it runs smoothly and didn't mess up other shoppers who were there just to make regular purchases. I've had events where we've even had pre-printed information sheets, signs, and employees to handle the crowd and someone invariable wanders up, with no wrist band, no purchased book, expecting to get facetime with a celebrity or take part in an event.
