Confessions of a Superhero Page #7

I'm so proud of him.

Oh, my goodness.

He's what you call

a looker.

(Sanford)

this is for

an American idol DVD board game.

Okay.

And you're working

at the checkout stand,

And you're actually

scanning the items.

Scanning items,

okay.

And you look up,

and the camera is a customer,

And you're kind of--

You're really obsessed

with American idol.

So the customer

is looking at you

Like you're a little strange.

Okay.

But let us slate you first.

Okay,

Jennifer Gehrt.

(Sanford)

and profiles,

Jennifer.

Back to us.

And action.

Hamburgers, oh,

Fantasia loves hamburgers.

Mac and cheese!

That's Clay's favorite.

Awesome.

Taylor hicks' favorite,

oh, my God.

He loves nutty buddies.

Try it where

you're just telling yourself,

But you're saying it out loud.

Okay.

Yeah, it's almost got to be

like a whisper.

Hamburgers,

fantasia loves hamburgers.

You know how sometimes

when people are--

You're almost having this

conversation with yourself...

Right.

(Sanford)

not really

with the person there?

It's almost like

you're a little nuts.

(male announcer)

Mr. Incredible and Elmo busted

on the streets of Hollywood,

Their heads on the trunk

of this police car,

The rest of their bodies cuffed.

Their crime?

Strong-arming tourists

To take pictures of them

for money.

Police say they warned

about 70 regulars

Who pose

along Hollywood boulevard

That they'd be cracking down

on aggressive posers.

We've been keeping a close eye

on the characters

Across the street.

They congregate--

these people,

They dress up

on Hollywood boulevard,

And they--they're superheroes

and cartoon characters.

They take pictures with tourists

for money.

The other day, Elmo

and Mr. Incredible got arrested

For being a little bit

too aggressive, I guess,

In asking for tips.

They really did,

and ever since then,

A lot of the characters there

have been on edge.

Superman, you there?

Elmo and Mr. Incredible:

Guilty or not?

What do you think

about those guys?

Um, I think they're not guilty,

actually.

They actually were doing pretty

much what they were supposed to,

But every now and then,

they do go after a tourist,

Even though

you're not supposed to.

We just put out a few officers

who just dressed as a tourist,

And then they walked up and down

And made contact

with the characters

To see if they were gonna

violate any of the rules

That we set forth

the week before.

When Elmo got arrested,

everybody knew.

Okay, we got on

the Jimmy Kimmel show.

We got news press.

We got--

yeah, it was--

Yeah, everybody tried

to make it bomb on us,

But it didn't.

It actually worked with us,

and now we're actually making,

You know,

a lot of money

Because of the fact

that Elmo got arrested.

That's how it was.

[laughing]

I know it's a bummer

to get arrested,

But hey, man, you know,

You just made your money back

ten times.

[laughs]

What are you doing?

You better get ready

to catch the freefall.

Oh, my God.

I'm gonna drown.

What a way to go.

(Dennis)

we've made appearances

on stuff such as Jimmy Kimmel.

[cheers and applause]

(man)

on my whistle,

superheroes, wrestle.

[whistle blows]

(Kimmel)

and here they go.

(Dennis)

there really is no such thing

as bad publicity,

As long as it's publicity.

(man)

the winner is Batman.

(Kimmel)

it's all over.

Wins the first ever

superhero wrestling.

Congratulations to Batman

And congratulations

to all of you

For being a part of history.

I've ended up in newspapers,

magazines,

Entertainment weekly,

people magazine,

Renaissance magazine,

grupo taca,

You know,

foreign magazines and stuff.

When you're getting

that kind of publicity,

It's not just the public

seeing you.

There's producers,

directors.

Hey, I may have the look

that someone's looking for,

And they know right where

to find me:

Hollywood boulevard.

(Moore)

hi, Jen,

how are you?

Hey, how you doing?

Good, nice to see you.

Good to see you.

You're looking good.

You look great.

How you been?

Eh, okay.

So tell me about

your audition the other day.

Okay, like, overall,

it was good enough,

But I know I could have done

a lot better on that scene.

That's interesting

that you say that,

Because, you know,

I called over there.

Oh, did you?

Yeah, they loved you.

They said you held your own

against some very--

Some more experienced actresses

who had done a few more things

And that they thought

you were just a great newcomer.

They were very excited.

They said,

"she's definitely somebody

We want to keep a pulse on,"

so...

Somebody told me

the other day,

And I was so, like,

I think it's a good campaign,

The dove campaign.

Yeah.

I think it's

a great campaign...

The real women.

Search for real beauty,

all that.

But it's like,

someone, like,

Compared me to, like,

one of the really big girls

On there.

And I hope they said,

"you know, this is the stuff

that you could be doing.

You should go out

for this."

I'm like--

[gasps]

Well, it's because

you're voluptuous,

You know, because you have

a big bosom.

You know,

people see you more as,

You know,

a sexy, curvy woman.

I see you that way.

I think that, you know,

I wouldn't take

that personally.

Well, I guess it's just

the childhood issues with it.

I'm very touchy with it.

Really?

Yeah.

You should let that go.

I should let it go.

This isn't supposed

to be therapy.

[laughter]

(Karen)

Jenny, you can't just--

(Gehrt)

Chris, tell me you're not

gonna do a word puzzle.

We are at bethel missionary

Baptist church.

It's the only

southern Baptist church

That I found in California,

So it's my home.
