Started out having some breakfast, then moseyed on over to the Hollywood Show. For the first time EVER there was a line and it took twenty minutes to get in. It was jammed, and I have to say the lineup was not even that great. So, the new owners are obviously getting the word out. However, they have literally sucked the fun out of the show. I walked into the main room and was shocked to not see the usual rows of tables. Now each celebrity has their own table and there are black curtains on either side of them, boxing them in. I found that completely nauseating, and it makes it impossible to see who is where. As a signer, I would feel totally isolated, like some kind of circus animal in a cage. Apparently many complaints were lodged and I hope they come to their senses. This show now feels nothing like it used to. I will say that Jill Schoelen looks great. I also said hello to Helen Reddy and we had a really nice chat - I bought her autobiography, which she inscribed to me.
