Well Said:

Billy Crystal has a temper — which he displayed the other night after his "700 Sundays" one-man show was disrupted by an idiot in the Broadhust Theatre who ignored two warnings to turn off his/her cellphone.

At the poignant end of the show, as Crystal was discussing the death of his mother, a phone rang twice. Crystal soldiered on, but after the curtain and the standing ovation, "Crystal came out to talk to the audience about what a great time he had, and said if he never works again, 'and I will,' he says, 'this show is a culmination of happiness for me,' " said our source. "He said, 'the audience was great — except for the man or the lady who in the end let that cellphone go off. Please next time, shut it off or better yet, shove it up your [bleep.]' And he walked off for good."

I agree wholeheartedly with the above commentary. I think we have all come to accept the cell phone as a necessary evil, but etiquette, especially at a live performance, must be observed. The clown who leaves his phone on 'ring' in such a setting deserves more than just the riducule delivered---they deserve a swift kick in the *ss.
