Gawker Stalker: All Hipster Special Edition!!!
Sightings are provided by readers, and sent to tips@gawker.com. And yes, heartfelt apologies if my stupid broken-ass email shit deleted yours. It's ugly over here at HQ.
In this very disturbing edition of Gawker Stalker: Chloe Sevigny buying pies, Liv Tyler the superstar elf seen from two different angles, all of Green Day, Ryan Adams in a state of serenity, and Ryan again with his pals Paul Rudd and Ron Eldard, plus Colin Quinn and David Wain. Oh, and International Queen of Gossip Michael Musto almost got killed finally on his damn bicycle.
· Saw Chloe Sevigny at Lil Frankie's Tuesday night around 6:30. She was coming out of the place with a couple of pies (nice to know she is eating!) She looked super skinny and a bit scary in a very tight black mini dress worn with ankle length brown boots. Her thighs had bruises on them (which any girl knows adds so much to an outfit.) A waiflife blonde girl who also looked a llittle worse for the wear followed her out to the street where Chloe hailed a taxi - loudly. Also seen at Lil Frankie's when I was leaving was the Stroke with the curly hair whose name no one can remember.
· Killing time after dinner, before seeing that new Metallica documentary (which is waaaay too long- don't see it), when lo and behold, who should be walking down Houston but the Elf Princess and her real life Elf husband. That's mean but he is really short. Of course we immediately jumped off the bench we were sitting on and went into full-on stalker mode, trailing them down the street to confirm their identities. Anyway, she looked great and they were very lovey-dovey together, ignoring all the whispered "Oh-my-god-did-you-see-it's-Liv-Tyler!"s. The LES was ablaze with this news and every person within a block was on their cell phone passing it along within 30 seconds of the sighting. Including me, of course. Unfortunately I don't have a cell phone cam yet so no stalker photo to share. Boo.
· Was struttin' my way along Houston street when I spotted cutest elf in the whole darn part of middle downtown, Liv Tyler . She was walking along holding the hoof of her space hog hubby. Looked like they were on their way to the Mercury Lounge. Would have been a nice sighting except that she was pleading with some messy hair wanker to please leave them alone. Said wanker had an open cell phone in his hand so I suspect he was trying to get a photo or asking her to sing happy birthday wishes to his "best friend" from the Niagara Falls region. Leave our elves alone or we shall go Saruman on your messy hair.
· Last night at the Tuesday night party at Happy Endings, all the members of Green Day walked in in a pack. My friend Oana was staring at Billy Joe so he came over and said, hey, what s up and then kissed her on the cheek. Tres Cool kept touching his own chest- he was fondling his wifebeater. They stayed for a while, and were recognized and harassed by many. Awesome.
· I was coming home from LIT last night around midnight and walked past Ryan Adams chatting on his cell phone on St. Mark's Place. I then went into Kim's Underground to browse around and pick up the new Hives CD, and 10 minutes later, saw Ryan again standing outside Kim's still talking. He seems calm, so he likely wasn't calling Jim DeRogatis... :-)
· After a night at Pianos, I was standing near the corner of Stanton and Ludlow and saw Ryan Adams, Paul Rudd and Ron Eldard coming out of the Kerry fundraiser at the Living Room. A few minutes later my friend and I were driving up the street and we watched Colin Quinn get in a cab.
· [Ed Note: Second verse, same as the first!] So last night I was hanging out in front of Pianos and I saw Paul Rudd and Ron Eldard (together) and Ryan Adams (hailing a cab). Apparantly they were all at the Concerts for Kerry show at the Living Room. Paul looks like he's gained weight but was still super-cute, Ron was tan and cute as well, and Ryan looked pretty grungy (as usual). David Wain (from MTV's The State) was there too.
· on sunday afternoon, 7/18, i saw michael musto almost get hit by a car in murray hill - cars were stuck in the intersection and not moving in the traffic, so he tried to negotiate his way through, and almost didn't make it. that's what you get for riding a bike, i guess. [Ed Note: Either that or Liz Smith and Cindy Adams were driving!]
