Good Luck Will Rub Off When I Shakes 'Ands with You

...Or blow me a kiss, and that's lucky too!

I am not easily starstruck. Maybe it's because I have been fortunate to see a lot of famous people since I was very young, and have been able to relate to them and see that they are normal people just like you or me. But when I saw the legendary Richard Sherman coming down the blue carpet, I gasped and nearly sank to my knees!

Besides the fact that he is the songwriter of some of my all-time favourite Disney songs, I couldn't stop thinking of how closely connected he was to Walt Disney himself! He even wrote Walt's favourite song: Feed the Birds.

I've always dreamed of seeing Richard Sherman, but I never thought about it becoming a reality. When he started coming closer and closer, while talking to the media in front of us, I was scared I wouldn't be able to get him over. However, as soon as he had a break, I took my chance! I quickly yelled his name as loud as I could above the chatter around me and, when he looked over, I got my chance to finally say, "I LOVE YOU!"

He smiled, laughed and blew me a kiss! So even though I didn't get a hand shake, I am really lucky just the same! =)

Our very good friend Mr. Daps, in the fedora hat, cracked up after my declaration of love. Probably because he knows how out-of-character that outburst was from me!

When I spotted vampire dad Carlisle Cullen (a.k.a. actor Peter Facinelli) step on the Blue Carpet, my inner Twilight Mom had a fan-girl meltdown!

As he casually walked by, I shouted "Peter, I love you on Twitter!"

Peter turned around, looked at me and replied, "Thanks for following! I don't know where we're going, but thanks for following!"

Follow along with Peter on Twitter and see where he takes us!

There were some huge stars at the premiere last night  but none quite as big as Sebastian from The Little Mermaid!

The Blue Genie worked his magic along the Blue Carpet to the delight of fans and media! Here he is trying to get a very high five from Marcy of The Glamorous Life Association — with encouragement from Suz of Alive in Wonderland fame.
