Star Catcher
Connick Jr. to Fan -- It's Never Going to Be You

A fan in NYC finally caught Harry Connick, Jr. yesterday, after trying for 20 years to get a photo with him -- looks like he may have to wait 20 more, as Connick completely blew him off!


Also in New York -- a bundled up Madonna, bubbly bantering buddies Eva Mendes and Anne Hathaway, caped crusader Rosario Dawson, John Cusack and a fur-lined Nicollette Sheridan.

All this and more in today's "Cold Shoulder" edition of Star Catcher NY.

16. He was not at all rude. He was very polite when he told the guy that he was running late. It is not like anyone knows what he was on his way to do. How would some of you feel if there were cameras and lights in your eyes all of the time? And I know that some of you are going to say that they chose this profession, but they are still people just like the rest of us.

17. I used to like him, but he can go scr3w himself and I won't be buying his music or seeing his poorly acted movies again.

19. My brother ran into him in a gym a few years back - said he was friendly and talked about how hard it was to be away from his family while traveling.

22. so funny, cuz i just saw his car commercial about how he is helping New orleans and he looked like such a nice guy. this really changes it. Celebs need to understand that it is all about consistency if you want people to believe you are nice.
If i ever got blown off, i would boycott and raise all holy hell. Luckily everyone i've met has been truly nice, though i never asked for a picture. Uhh I hate bitchy celebs.

24. Harry Connick Jr, should be very careful. Ticking off fans is a great way to destroy your careerr. He's got talent, but without the fans he's going to become a lounge lizard in some trashy over-decorated somba room south of Vegas where top shelf drinks sell for $2.00.

27. The only thing entertainers owe anyone is entertainment. Why people believe they should be able to invade these peoples' lives anytime they want is beyond understanding. You don't have to own someone to appreciate their art or talent. Perhaps some folks need to think about getting a life of their own.

28. What a jack a$$. Hey Harry, you are not all that, unless "that" means boring!! Keep your phoney nice guy image and shove it. And by the way your acting on Will and Grace was the worst I have ever seen. That show would of benefited much more to have someone else play that part. Gary Coleman could of done better.

29. As a former reporter,I met quite a few famous people.Harry Connick,Jr. was one of the least friendly people I ever met.He had no personality,which was surprising since I had seen him in concert.Other celebrities have commented on his bad personality.I was sorry that he was a part of the show Will&Grace.He did not deserve to play a character married to Grace.

30. i've been in his company, and seen him with many fans, as well as his family around him...he is a great family man, always polite (as he was to this gentleman, and he said he was running late) and unassuming with the public....
prior to being around him i never cared for him, (gave me the air of being pompous), however last summer i have a newfound respect for him.
don't dog him for this.
