Having particularly diligent (and/or obsessive) readers means that we receive literally dozens of celebrity sightings each day. While we never have nor will fact-check any of them, we do try our best to eliminate the ones that seem useless (reality TV stars, Chris Noth) or totally fake (Natalie Portman in a stretch Hummer). It's an imperfect process, but we mean well.

One stalker sighting we keep receiving and deleting usually looks like this:

9:30 PM: Mike Myers, Barrio Chino, carrying a hockey stick.

Why do we keep tossing Shrek aside? Because every single sighting we get of Mike Myers involves him carrying a hockey stick. Sunday morning mass? Hockey stick. Black-tie fundraiser at Cipriani? Hockey stick. It's just absurd, we thought, and it seemed like a well-organized prank, a la Clooney, to flood the site with fake sightings.

Until we saw him last night, walking into Max Fish, carrying a hockey stick.

We're so sorry we didn't believe you.
