A Word From the Assistant
Posted by reeltalk on 04/ 2/08 at 12:20 PM

Being the new production assistant on the show has some incredible perks, such as meeting the celebrities who visit our show. But, what's even more exciting than having the chance to meet and speak with stars such as Michael Douglas, George Clooney, Vince Vaughn, Matthew McConaughey, Hayden Christensen (in the pic to the left) and Charlize Theron, is getting a glimpse of the incredible smarts and ambition these individuals possess. A characteristic tabloids almost always tend to overlook.

Sure, the big houses, the money, the fame and the parties -- not to mention the attractive dating scene that surrounds Hollywood -- is always going to be an eye-catcher, but after speaking with these individuals one on one behind the scenes, I've learned that there really is so much more than meets the eye.

If only tabloids could focus on the way these people achieved their fame and write articles about the way these celebrities work and do everything to teach themselves about every aspect in an industry that they love. For example, we had David Schwimmer on not too long ago and after spending a decade as an actor on a hugely popular sitcom, he's now teaching himself and enjoying the craft of directing. Or, what about Charlize Theron, who is not only a gorgeous, Oscar-winning actress, but also a marvelous movie producer.

I have been working on this show now for almost three months and I am in awe, not with the glamour these stars possess but with the intelligence, ambition and confidence they have. It gives me inspiration to go for what I want to do and maybe if tabloids focused more on what made these people "movie stars" more people would become inspired also.

And check me out on the red carpet with "Juno" star Ellen Page. This job just gets better and better!
