1/11 — Last Sunday my girlfriends and I went to Hugo's in the Valley, and who should we spot hanging out in the parking lot (there was a 25-minute wait) but SANDRA OH and ERIC STOLTZ — together. They were there with 5 or 6 other people, but it was clear they were pretty intimate. She was wearing gym clothes, including a large brown hood which she even wore inside the restaurant, which seemed a little odd as it was about 85 degrees. He was wearing an unfortunate beard, but still looked pretty McDreamy. Or McPulpFiction-y. Not at all McMask-y. My friend went over and gave them her card and they were lovely to her. But that hood and that beard, they really have to go. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

· Last night on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, John "Leatherheads" Krasinski broke out his heretofore unheralded ability to demonstrate his "Muppet arms." Which, naturally, reminded us of Eric Stoltz's legendary (at least to us) "Muppet walk" from Mr. Jealousy. Whose impression is better? We'll leave that for you to debate in the comments.

As Back to the Future fans probably already know, Eric Stoltz completed weeks of filming as Marty McFly due to a scheduling conflict with first choice Michael J. Fox, but was eventually replaced by Fox when Stoltz proved a little intense for a light-hearted comedy. To celebrate Stoltz's unseen contribution to cinematic history, Hurty Elbow has constructed a mini-shrine to the original McFly's lost scenes. Don't miss the cameo by a young Billy Zane! [Hurty Elbow]
