   Basically you're saying that if you were in the line no matter when   
   you got there, they went down the line, asked if you wanted to pay   
   40.00 for a photo and if you gave them 40 bucks you were allowed to   
   cut the line?  And so the 12 year old, because they couldn't afford   
   the 40 bucks and everyone else who didn't want to pay the 40 bucks was   
   thrown out?   
      
   I'd be writing to the agent of the guy and telling him how crappy it   
   went and how rude and how you'll be blogging about his greed... and   
   then, find the lawyer or a relative or some other way to go around the   
   agent to get the letter to the guy... he needs to fire his agent.   
      
   I didn't know about this and even if I had, I'd not of gone; it'd be   
   like the Jonas brothers; barely a chance to get in and probably   
   reserved mostly for the kids.  Too much hassle going tor A-list fad   
   type celebrities (who will be has beens in a couple years probably).   
      
   I forsee some of the Twilight stars fading soon and the Jonas brothers   
   will be going the way of the Hanson brothers (was that their name? I   
   am already forgetting).
