Turned on Rosalie this morning to find her in the middle of an extended sit-down with Bonnie Raitt. Very nice.
I didn't listen, but I bet Bonnie is a nice person, and the reason I say that is that during last year's Hardly Strictly BG show, I got my hands on a backstage access pass and we were getting coffee at the same time. I didn't recognize her, but some dude I was chatting with did and he whipped out his camera and said "I love your music, can I get a a picture?"
He then gave *me* his camera and said "Do you mind taking our photo?" even before Bonnie could answer. I was like "well, it's up to her," but inside thinking "uh, this isn't really the place to accost a celeb w a camera, she's just here relaxing, she's not performing, dumbass." But she was cool, she posed patiently.
He forced her hand in that situation, true. If she had said what *I* was thinking, the story about how Bonnie was beeyotch would have been more damaging. But then again, what the hell do I know about how celebs negotiate w their fans in public? Maybe Bonnie was like "Yes! I got recognized!"
