Orianthi from Michael Jackson's "This Is It"

3.18.2010 Orianthi was a scheduled guest, along with Janet Jackson and actor Clark Duke on Jay Leno tonight. After the taping, there were more fans lingering around than usual, not surprising with the whole Jackson mystique that always endures with their adoring fans. We had previously met Orianthi a few weeks back and at that time, she signed everything, including multiples and also posed for photographs. Well, we weren't initially so lucky this time as Orianthi was in the passenger seat of a surprisingly older, beater car and not the typical limo or high-prices SUV that celebrities usually are transported. The driver yelled, "She's not signing" and Orianthi looked as if on a couple of occasions she actually considered rolling down her window but she did not. So we followed her in our vehicle and she eventually stopped at a sushi restaurant on Wilshire, where we jumped out and asked her to sign. Orianthi hesitated and then said, "One each." I got a photo signed, she signed one each for a couple other collectors and then I asked her to sign a guitar pick guard, which she did. She handed the pen back and said that she was done and went into the restaurant. After about 10 minutes Orianthi came out and my sister asked her to sign a pick guard as she was parking the car and did not get Orianthi on her way in. She signed one for her and I was unable to get any more out of her. We were glad to have Orianthi autograph the pick guards and a signed photograph. However, the quantity was a bit disappointing as just a month or so ago I saw Orianthi sign and take photographs with collectors for probably almost 15 minutes after a television taping.
