She was scared going into it, because she knew she would probably meet some of her idols, and she doesn&#8217;t have a really good track record in terms of conversing with her favorite stars.  After all, this is the woman who saw Broadway legend Chita Rivera in a grocery store, and after taking some time to get up the guts to approach her, went over to Chita &#8211; in the frozen food aisle &#8211; opened her mouth to say, &#8220;Hello&#8221; &#8211; a simple beginning, right?  Where could you go wrong with Hello?  You would have had Chita at Hello!  But what came out of Alex&#8217;s mouth was the word: &#8220;Ho.&#8221;  Barked out in a kind of low and alarming voice.  Basically, Alex called Chita Rivera a &#8220;ho&#8221;.  By accident.  So naturally, Alex had some anxiety about what would happen at her gala.  And there appears to only have been one glitch, where she KEPT saying Stockard Channing&#8217;s name &#8211; right TO Stockard Channing.  &#8220;\u0093Well, yes Stockard Channing, yes I do. I agree with you wholeheartedly Stockard Channing.
