The first person to sign was Matt Bomer. Matt Bomer came straight over to my section and skipped the entire left section from me. I was able to get his autograph on my 11x14 Magic Mike poster and an 8x10 photo.
The next person to sign was Alex Pettyfer. He walked straight to the section to my left after he was dropped off. I saw him posing for several fans and I thought "what a nice guy!" I was also able to get him on my 11x14 poster and two 8x10 "I Am Number Four" scene photos. Somebody told me that he didn't sign at the "Beastly" premiere, so I didn't do enlargements for him.
Mathew McConaughey started to the left of my section; I was able to get him on my 11x14 poster as well as one 8x10 photo. I had another photo for him to sign, but he skipped it several times. I was happy with 2 autographs from Matthew.
Joe Maganiello started to my left and continued signing away from me. I was not able to get any Joe's. I still have the two 8x10 photos from the "True Blood Season 6" premiere, in which he did not sign for me. Another time perhaps.
Channing Tatum really surprised me. I met Channing 4 times before in the last year. He was always so very nice to everybody. I first met Channing at the "Haywire" premiere but I could not get an autograph nor a picture with him, but saw that he was signing for the collectors and fans without any hesitation. Same story when I met him at "Jimmy Kimmel", "Jay Leno" and even at "The Vow" premiere. I even told him that he was "kind", and "was hilarious at SNL." He would always smile and laugh and say "thank you!"
However, at the "Magic Mike" premiere he mainly signed for "fans" who asked for a picture with him, and skipped my section that I was in, and was ignoring the "collectors." Even told a few collectors to "move the pictures from him because he was taking a picture with his 'REAL' fans.."
Collectors, as myself included, are fans. Just because we sell some or all of every photos we get signed does not mean that we do not pay to see your movies in the theatre or even renting them out of REDBOX or from Blockbuster. Movie stars get compensated in many different ways. Whether we tune in to watch a movie on TV, or purchase a magazine. We give them plenty of support.
Because of his change of behavior, I decided against staying for the after party to "possibly" get a Channing autograph.
Olivia Munn arrived very late to the premiere. She waved to the few fans that was left and walked the red carpet. I had two 8x10s with me and knew that she would sign after the premiere, but I had decided to go home instead of waiting.
