Abingdon Square green market dirt, Saturday, 12:30PM. Martha Stewart worked the joint, one end to the other in 60 seconds flat, obviously working since she was making notes. She looked great! Quite tall, nice bod and very pretty wearing a short denim jacket, white T and light white sweats—in the SWELTERING heat. Despite what the Post says the ankle bracelet was sticking out. She ended up at the veg stand where she was trying to get the owner, a little Asian woman of uncertain English, to be on her show. Apparently the woman had been too scared to ring her assistant back, and Martha laughed, "It's for TV...really, it's ok! Call me"

took some visiting relatives to see the afternoon performance of spamalot sunday 8/15. when we were leaving the show, exiting from the lennon show right next door and heading across the street to Sardi's for some type of party we saw Liza Minelli and Ralph Nader.

There I was getting off work last night 8/15, and desperately needing a cocktail, so I went to Stone Rose, the dramatically trendy bar in the Time Warner Center. And imagine my surprise to find Brad Pitt and George Clooney purring and cooing in a dark corner of the bar. Yum.

Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow in front of Nobu last night 8/15... Damon was sporting a Red Sox hat.

I was having a late lunch at Blue Water Grill when may date took a bathroom break. When she entered the restroom she encountered none other than Ms. Jodi Foster who was in the process of changing her shoes. She seemd nice and friendly but why the hell was she changing in a public restroom ? (I thought it was only male gay stars that cruised toilets).

Jury duty sighting at 100 Centre Street (the big criminals/NY State): Gloria Steinem who showed up late (during attendance, the clerk mispronounced her name as Steinman, then corrected herself) and former Manhattan boro presy Ruth Messinger, reading "Prep."

Last night (Tuesday 8/19), around 10 p.m., I was at Grey Dog on Carmine Street at a table with my back to the street. As I was leaving, looked back for a second and realized that the woman who had been sitting outside on the bench with her back to me was Maggie Gyllenhaal, deep in conversation with another woman (whose face I couldn't see).

Insanity: was at that dive bar b-side in the east vill last night (8/15) at around 1 AM when I spotted Javier Bardem. He is surprisingly short (5 7 /5 8 ) and was wearing a rather tragic outfit: teal long-sleeve T-shirt with some sort of floral embroidery; white, white pants with pinstripes; and canvas sneakers that looked payless circa 1986. he looked like he was out for a night at culture club. Beautiful hair, though. He struck up conversation with my group of friends and me and was clearly tipsy. He kept asking us if we were a healthy group of people, and when I finally responded that yes, I was a pillar of health, he pointed a finger at me and said, smugly, no, you re a PERVERT. Seeing as I was doing nothing to warrant this reaction, I said, umm, what? and he kept saying, oh, I know people who SAY they are healthy, but you are a PERVERT. I can see it. I just said, ok, maybe. Then he pranced off into the bar.

Thursday, 8/11, 8-30ish, Eva Longoria, on her cell phone yakking right dead center in front of Duane Reade (3rd avenue and 53rd Street) and in the middle of the sidewalk. Really petite and really pretty. People were gawking at her which is why, I guess, she stood where she stood. Celebrities are a strange breed. They crave for privacy but most times, they crave attention too.

Saw Robert DeNiro on 8/17 at Pratt Institute, where he's filming scenes for "The Good Shepherd." He was crossing the street, walking from the trailers. He was shorter and heavier than I expected, wearing a beige linen shirt and blue baseball cap, but not as wrinkly as in those American Express commercials.

Spotted Zach Braff at the Saturday (8/13) evening peformance of Glengarry Glen Ross and his date, very blonde Mandy Moore, looking gorgeous in navy blue grecian dress. He nuzzled her throughout the play. (she seemed mostly indifferent). He has beautiful eyes but is otherwise homely and Mandy was taller than he in her heels.

yesterday, 8/16 at John Barrett salon, early PM, saw a teeny tiny Kevin Connolly as well as Peter Bogdanovich. Unfortunately, they were not together. Peter was sporting an intense red man-scarf.

Saw Billy Joel, with his very young and pretty wife, eating dinner at Extra Virgin in the West Village on Friday (8.12). night. Couldn't tell if he was drinking- they were way in the back corner. He's pretty short, but kinda buff, and almost completely gray.

Saw Diddy leaving his office this afternoon 8/15 around 2:30. It was starting to rain but he was kind enough to stop and pose for pics with a gaggle of girls fawning over him before jumping into the waiting black SUV

Walking back from lunch (8/15) on 55th and 7th Ave, I see a group of tourists huddled around someone outside Carnegie Deli. I assumed it was a street performer giving a show to the ususal horde of tourists waiting in line for some corned beef. But when I saw two motherly types wrap their arms around him, I looked closer to see that it was Mr. T! Sans gold chains, with a long scraggly beard and wearing a knit cap and t-shirt. Barely recognized him, but his raspy voice reminded me otherwise. Wish I got a glimse of the hawk!

Caught a dressed-down Christian Slater at the Flea Theater for some fringe production called The Lightning Field. he was with a girl (looked good) and they were talking about him moving into a new apartment somewhere on the west side. He looked good, but the play was better.

Spotted Avril Lavigne and her Sum 41 fiance Deryck Whibley dining in style at Apizz restaurant. They sat on the same side of a corner booth, arms draped around each other throughout the entire meal, smooching often, though her barbie-style big-blond hair obscured most of the view. Both she and her boy are the teensiest, tiniest of people. If I saw them from afar I'd put both of them under the tender age of sixteen.

The first class cabin of my United LAX-JFK flight was hoppin' yesterday (Tues 8/16). Fortunately, I was in business class, so I got a bird's eye view. Sebastian Bach was about eight feet tall, and as he deplaned, he had a huge, stoned grin on his face - I doubt he toked in the bathroom, so maybe he brought special brownies? His driver was waiting for him with a sign that bore his real last name - Bierk. Also seated in first: the Gotti boys and their ma. For some reason, Victoria Gotti, who was dressed like a 17-year-old tennis player in a sporty white miniskirt and matching t-shirt, felt the need to wear dark sunglasses as she got off the plane. At midnight. Because, you know, surely the paparazzi would make an effort to truck out to JFK at midnight on a Tuesday to get a less-than-flattering picture of Victoria Gotti getting off a plane.

8/16, 5:30, W 44th st, Geraldo Rivera looking suave (and yes, older man hot) and sporting what is still a spectacular 'stache.
