Hollywood film news on July
Dawson's panel-hosting stint at comic-con
Indo-Asian News Service
New York, July 26 (IANS) Actress Rosario Dawson was left feeling
like "a total dork" at the Comic-Con comic book convention in
California when she was called upon to fill in for Kevin Smith,
who was stuck in a traffic jam.
According to contactmusic.com, Dawson was at the convention
promoting her debut comic "Oct: Occult Crimes Taskforce" when
Smith called to ask her to start off a panel discussion on his
behalf.
Smith was one of many stars caught up in horrific traffic jams
around San Diego, where the convention was being held, and
Dawson was only too pleased to help the movie-maker and comic
book aficionado.
Dawson's panel-hosting stint was far from successful.
Dawson says: "I was like, 'There's
4,000 people out there, I'll start off the show until he gets
here.' I walk out and I go to the mike and I introduce myself as
Kevin Smith: 'I'm on the South Beach Diet! Woo-hoo it's
working!'
"I was a total dork... I sang, I danced around, I had these
little kids come up on stage, I told stories and jokes. It was
retarded. I even sang this 'Carpenters' song... I thought he
(Smith) was gonna show up at some point and save me; he never
did... He was stuck in traffic."
