Controversy: July 2008 Archives
I really hate when I sit through an event, see things with my own eyes, hear things with my own ears, take notes and then read a bogus version of what went down somewhere else. In this case, I'm talking about an item in today's Page Six column that appears in the New York Post. It states: "MAMMA Mia!" actress Amanda Seyfried and her screen "fiancé," Dominic Cooper, disappointed gay activists in LA who were expecting their participation in Outfest, a film festival for the homosexual and transgender sets.
I didn't realize I was part of the homosexual "set" but anyway, the sell-out audience was absoilutely charmed by Amanda who was a surprise guest and who was adorable as she introduced the film.
The Page Six piece states that Amanda had not done red carpet interviews as planned or pose for pictures. I don't know if that was ever part of the plan but even if it was, I don't think the "homosexual and transgender sets" felt at all dissed by this young actress who showed up and was given a wild ovation.
