No-photo Norah
Just returned from the dessert after-party of the Salt Lake City premiere of "The September Issue." The documentary about the editor of Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour, was enjoyable, with some funny moments, which the audience seemed to appreciate. Local notables at the show included Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker, Utah Shakespearean Festival Executive Director Scott Phillips and festival creator Fred Adams.
No star sightings were recorded prior the movie. It wasn't until I ran into the ladies' room to dictate my story to my editor that I noticed jazz singer Norah Jones retouching her makeup. I asked if I could take her picture as she was leaving the bathroom and she brushed me off with a polite, "I've got to go." No biggie.
I ran into her again at the dessert party, where she and her boyfriend Michael Martin, who worked on the movie's crew, served themselves treats. She looked adorable in a gray-ish strapless knee-length dress with a sweetheart neckline. She told me she would rather not have her picture taken because she was there to support her boyfriend.
She was polite but I could tell she was a little freaked out when I told her I dated someone she went to school with. Anyway, I can't help but feel a little odd at playing the "I know someone you know" card with a now-famous singer.
