Waiting to board the jam-packed red-eye from the Mormon-Republican nexus of Salt Lake City to JFK Saturday night, I watched Howard Dean quietly try and talk himself into a seat. The drones from Delta weren't having it, despite the Dem Party chairman's pleas that "something was mixed up at the office." He traveled alone, carried a giant bag slung over his frumpy suit. All the baby-eating Republicans on hand watched him hatefully, waiting for him to go diva on Delta's ass, but he disappointed them and said "thank you" kindly when he he couldn't get aboard. Ho Chi Dean has tiny feet, and waddled away quickly, presumably bound for a hotel and a tall scotch.
Tuesday, July 19, my husband and I spotted Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen walking hand in hand in Chelsea Village. He's taller than her by a good 2 inches which surprised me since she always looked like an Amazon to me on TV and in pictures. Nobody around us seem to notice them besides us but maybe because we're not jaded New Yorkers.
Nicole Kidman on east 54th street wed 7/20 (b/w 1st and 2nd ave), filming something in a '50s-era get-up. she looks radiant.
July 20, 6PM - saw Jake Gyllenhaal dining al fresco with another guy at Sant Ambroeus on Perry Street and West 4th. Dressed casual (shorts, sneakers, short sleeve button down unbuttoned to mid chest, sunglasses), looked mildly irritated, but it may have been from the conversation. VERY HOT in person, the facial scruff was working for him.
Saw Mary-Louise Parker and her rather adorable son at Mary's Dairy in the West Village on Saturday. She broke into a rendition of "Hooked on a Feeling" with two girlfriends, which seemed to terrify her child, who was attempting to make his way through a butterscotch sundae.
I was at le parker meridian tonight (7/20) and needed to use the facilities in the hotel lobby. I had to go so bad that in my blind haste I nearly ran over a really attractive woman. when I realized it was Rosario Dawson, I was blown away. I ve sometimes thought she looked a bit man-ish in movies , but in person she is a radiant beauty. I would have chatted her up if not for impending pants pissing.
Was at the scissor sisters show at Mercury Lounge tonight. Guest appearances included: Debbie Harry; Jared Leto; (a chubby) Jimmy Fallon; and John Norris (struggling for entrance).
saw Adrian Grenier @ Virgin mobile 3 ways party- he was the drummer in the band the Honey Brothers- gorgeous in person!
So I was on my way to the Bolshoi Ballet and who do I see? My very own ideal, Adam Brody. Only he's not my ideal anymore. The camera definitely adds 10 lbs (or 30 in his case) and he's shorter than I expected. Not a guy I would call my ugly friend at all, but definitely not the one I secretly lust after. He was wearing a white shirt and tight=hipster jeans and was with a similarly dressed guy friend.
Last night (wed 7/20) I saw Jon Favreau and a skinny indie friend walking down Clinton Street on the Lower East Side. He looked kind of embarassed because I clearly recognized him. He skuttled away when some guy screamed "FAVREAUUUUUU" from a car. He was so much smaller than I would have thought...
I saw Josh Hartnett last night (7/20) walking down University Place. He's taller and better looking in person.
Just saw Heather Matarazzo in Columbus Circle (thurs 7/21), talking on her cell phone and smoking American Spirits. Her movies make me want to punch her in the face, but she's actually kind of cute in person.
Stalker: Saw Savion Glover, the dancer, at the corner of 8th and University on Monday 7/18. He was carrying a teeny baby.
I spotted Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years) having drinks at a table with two guys and a girl at Hanger Bar, E. 3rd St.Btwn Aves B and C. 10:30-11:30 last night (wed 7/20).
I spotted Francis Conroy - the mother from Six Feet Under - eating at Frankies in Carroll Gardens on Sunday evening with (I'm assuming) her husband and another couple. She looked so much prettier in person and so much happier as well.
This is delayed because I broke my right arm about an hour after the sighting and it's taken me this long to accept my fate of typing with only my left hand for four weeks. Anyway, about a week ago my friends and I were walking out of Brite, super gay bar in Chelsea and we brush shoulders with Johnny Mosely, who's walking in. My friend says, "Hey, you're Johnny Mosely! You're the first reality TV star I've ever seen!" He gets a pissed look on his face and retorts, "You know I'm an Olympic skier too." He seemed to know the doorman pretty well.
I saw Billie Jean King yesterday on Amsterdam Avenue. She looked kinda lost and surprisingly pale for a former tennis pro. She probably doesn't play that much anymore, maybe that's why her ass is so big.
Tuesday July 19 - Hal Holbrook at Bellini Restaurant - looking very Mark Twain-ish in a seersucker blazer - my dinner companions remarked that he was "eating everything."
Last night at around 11 PM, as I was finishing my dinner at Florent, Morgan "Supersize me" Spurlock walked in. He was with a very skinny gay couple and an Asian guy. The girlfriend that goes on top when he gains weight was nowhere to be seen. His hair looked slightly blow-dried and he was balder than I expected.
Tues Jul 19 passed by Larry King in lobby of Lowes Regency. Could have missed him entirely except that the acid-wash jeans and fire-engine red suspenders made everyone do a double-take. He was talking on the house phone, which made him look kind of weird/cheesy.
Last night (July 20th ), at Spamalot. Tori Spelling w/ husband??? Or other relatively unremarkable man her age. Looking a bit bizarre, bags under eyes, and with obvious work done to everything waist up. Seemed quite unobtrusive and nice, however, waiting in the women s bathroom line with nary a complaint to be heard.
Thursday 7/21: Just had dinner at Centrico in Tribeca; saw Bobby Flay and his wife, being served personally by the chefs. He's lost some weight.
Saw Jack Osbourne on Sunday (July 17), on the second floor of the Astor Place Kmart. He was on his cell phone, saying, "We saw 'Wicked' and Oasis." Ozzy's spawn headed for the housewares department.
Watched Washingtonienne / Jessica Cutler playing some deer hunting video game at Cheap Shots in the E. Village Friday night. She was with a bunch of drunk hipster guys. Also, she has something like 80% shooting accuracy. She was way into it.
