1/3 — Spotted saucy GARY OLDMAN heading to Starbucks in Studio City. He looked taller and less self-conscious than most actors I see out around town. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

1/6 — Spotted The Santa Clause himself, TIM ALLEN, walking into the Coffee Bean at Lankershim and Cahuenga in North Hollywood chatting emphatically with two people flanking him. He was sporting a shockingly tight black t-shirt and appears to be getting into prime physical shape for Toy Story 3.

1/2 — I turned the corner in the furniture aisle and saw DAVID COOK in the North Hollywood Target. He was focusing on looking down and texting as much as possible. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

ZACHARY QUINTO, TV's Sylar and Spock in the upcoming J. J. Abrams Star Trek installment, out for a quiet Italian dinner with a friend at Prizzi's Piazza on Franklin. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Sherri Shepherd isn't the only one who's had a memorable run-in at 30,000 feet with Jeremy Piven. Commenter MontagueGoat wrote in with another, presumably pre-mercury-poisoned encounter:

1/2 — Dan Tana's. Friday night. CAMERON CROWE having dinner. That guy looks the same as he did when he [wrote] Fast Times. KEVIN CONNOLLY in the bar area alone, but looking like he was waiting for someone. And he was wearing a green Hanes-like short sleeved t-shirt. Seemed odd on such a chilly L.A. night. The End.

12/28 — VINNIE JONES of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties in full soccer kit at an IHOP in West LA with Hollywood United F.C. teammates. You heard me, Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties! [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

1/1 — SCOTT FOLEY from The Unit engaging in some New Year's Day shopping with friends at Century City Mall. He's a handsome guy. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/30 — Saw MEG RYAN at the Brentwood Country Mart today at lunch. She was eating with a nondescript couple at City Bakery. She is too skinny and looked mean. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/26 — M. EMMET WALSH trying pho for the first time at Pho Show last night in Culver City. He looked like he came straight from the ranch in a large blue buffalo plaid flannel shirt. I would've been disappointed if he had been in a suit. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/28 — That dude (GARY DOURDAN) from CSI who got busted for drugs. He was at Maxfield trying on a hat and a jacket... but he was spinning around in the jacket and tipping his hat like Justin Timberlake... looked like a total douchebag and was REALLY loud in the store so people would pay attention. Alas, the sales were so good that no one did and he left. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/25 — GENE SIMMONS and family at Gonpachi — service and food was shitty but it was nice to see Gene and family having just as bad a time as we were. SHANNON TWEED looks fantastic and their son is fantastically tall. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/26 — JASON BATEMAN and family at Il Sole on Sunset... he is ridiculously hot... and seemed like a nice guy. COURTNEY COX, DAVID ARQUETTE and family also at Il Sole... she left the table last so everyone would see her, stopped by Bateman's table, and then headed out to the paparazzi... all two of them. Guess no one cares about her anymore. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/24 — An OLSEN at the cafe next to American Rag... and she was eating!! She looked great and was shoveling food in her mouth like the rest of us commoners. ["An Olsen?" Who can be more specific?

DREW BARRYMORE and JASON SEGEL probably are dating. I was at a Karaoke last night and they were there, I'm pretty sure they've got something going on. I took some pictures and videos of Jason Segel singing with my phone but they did not come out very clear! [Tease!

12/24 — Just went to see the 1:15 Gran Torino showing at Arclight today... TOM MORELLO (Rage Against The Machine guitarist extraordinaire) was at the theatre, standing in line with what looked to be his mom and his grandma (awwwww...) I think they went to see Slumdog Millionaire. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/20 — Celebrated my birthday with friends on Saturday night in Los Feliz and ended up at the last night of Tangiers. Down the street sitting out front eating at Little Dom's was DREW BARRYMORE! She looks hot blonde! She was having dinner with that guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and How I Met Your Mother, sorry, too lazy to IMDB him. Are they dating?

12/19 — Just saw Mr. Almost Famous himself, CAMERON CROWE, at the Whole Foods on Wilshire in Santa Monica, looking boyishly handsome and somewhat confused by the massive cheese display. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/18 — Just saw DAMIAN LEWIS of Life and Band of Brothers and his wife having a helluva time trying to ship a package back to England at the FedEx on Wilshire and 6th in Santa Monica. Hoorah for normalcy! [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/17 — CHRIS COOPER at El Coyote. Scrubbed clean (teeth looking great, BTW! Who knew?!). Wearing urban hipster hoodie fitting right in with the crowd. I'm in town from NY so I made sure he didn't notice me noticing him. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]
