Frybyrd apologizes for red carpet blunder
Yeah, I Figured columnist, Frybyrd.
A follow-up from an earlier story entitled, 'Intern causes Red Carpet stir.'
LOS ANGELES - Yeah, I Figured That Much columnist, Frybryd has apologized for embracing Jennifer Garner on the red carpet at the Oscars last month.
During a live E! pre-show broadcast, Frybyrd repeatedly interrupted while Ryan Seacrest was interviewing Garner and Laura Linney. At one point, Frybyrd embraced Garner, who looked annoyed.
"I meant no disrespect to Ms. Jennifer Garner when I met her at the Oscars and apologize if I made her uncomfortable," the 34-year-old writer said in a statement e-mailed Monday by a publicist for his attorney, Vicki Roberts.
By the time he realized Garner and Linney were being interviewed, Frybyrd said he tried to step back but "suddenly Ryan introduced her to me."
Calls to Garner's publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, weren't immediately returned.
"I simply greeted both actresses with joy and open arms, which is the way I would greet anyone I'm happy to meet," Frybyrd said. "Everyone has experienced a handshake or hug which has turned awkward, and this was no different."
Frybyrd is the most recent columnist on Yeah, I Figured. His previous work appeared in the pages of Bubbles.

Is this necessary?
Otherwise good article.
Yes for a few reasons.
1) this isn't exactly wide spread popular culture news, so a little background for visitors, I think is helpful.
2) the only word in this entire article that are mine is 'Frybyrd.'
"What can I say? I was really, really DRUNK! I mean-C'MON, IT'S THE OSCARS! Like you WOULDN'T have tried to cop a feel off Jennifer Garner!"
as Pharrell would say, "not an idictment, just an observation."
