I was just scanning the Spanish press for more reports, and I saw something sort of funny: a bunch of “famosos,” mostly movie stars such as Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith (his wife), had been invited to meet her in a receiving line and were waiting outside near a red carpet behind which were parked a few of the cars of the entourage. They waited and waited and then there was an announcement that Michelle Ma Belle and her group were too tired from their excursion that day and would not come out to see the people who were waiting for her.
Brave little groupies that they were, however, they decided to write tiny love notes on the hood of one of the cars that was parked behind them...a nice little subcompact made by FORD! LOL!
Ping to this thread!
I wonder what prompted her refusal to meet with her adoring fans? Perhaps word of the press criticism has reached her and she was told not to provide a photo op which would look bad.
She COULD have met with them in private, though. I am certain she would have granted an “audience.”
There is really something fishy going on over there.
From what I am gathering, she was staying at the same hotel and just didn't come downstairs.
If we assume that her meetings with the Saudis were just based on being star-struck, you would think Banderas would be more interesting than a royal. Strange that she couldn't be bothered to come downstairs even for a few minutes just to show her face.
Maybe they came to her and she met with a few of them behind closed doors. Still, its strange. Maybe she is the kind who gets more pleasure snubbing a "famoso" than shaking hands with one. But these are supporters. So its strange.
