I just got back from the Toronto Film Festival, and it was star central.

“The Informant” is hilarious and the star, Matt Damon, is just as funny in person. It still throws me off when you meet a true A-lister and they are funny, charming and more importantly sweet. Matt is truly a down to earth guy who likes to drink beer and loves his family. And don’t forget, he went to Harvard. That’s an A+ in my book.

Next up was Jennifer Garner, for “The Invention of Lying”. Now I had never interviewed her and didn’t know what to expect. But she has such a tender smile and the personality to match. We talked about Ben, and Matt, and the kids, just like two girlfriends at lunch. I wonder if she needs a new friend???

Drew Barrymore finished directing her first movie, “Whip It”. She was so excited the whole time we talked. She is a funky cool girl, who likes to just be herself. She told me the first thing she did when the movie was finished, was go out and get wasted. Now that’s the kind of director I would want.

The last night I was there, I interviewed OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you know what, she is normal. O was nice and listened to my questions; she made you feel like you were the only one there. At the end of the interview, we high fived…just hope I now turn to gold.

Thanks Toronto.
