Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Evan Rachel Wood

Seth Abramovitch · 12/17/08 05:50PM

12/16 — When I was going to my parking garage after work, I saw a pristine Chevy Tahoe in Valet awaiting an entourage of scenester short dudes and EVAN RACHEL WOOD dressed like Cruella DeVille. They were dining at Chaya Venice. Swanky." [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

12/15 — I saw JOHN C. REILLY sitting in the back row at Will Ferrell's "secret" preview at Largo of his one-man show as George Bush. That was a long sentence. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: The Return of Kiefer!

Seth Abramovitch · 12/16/08 02:05PM

"So me and a friend had a bourbon date at the 4100 Bar last night. Place was pretty empty, but who should materialize before us, like some Christmas tree-tackling holiday angel, but KIEFER SUTHERLAND himself."

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: JC Chasez

STV · 12/16/08 01:22PM

12/15JC CHASEZ just walked in to the Equinox on The Strip in West Hollywood wearing a powder blue track suit that MUST be an early Christmas gift from Lance Bass. Otherwise, why? [Anyone? Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Shenae Grimes

STV · 12/12/08 03:15PM

12/11 — Saw SHENAE GRIMES at the Woods last night. I had actually met her at Happy Ending a few weeks ago. Real nice and undiva-seeming. For all the negative reports you think she'd be hanging around douched out spots like Les Deux and etc. No, I am not her publicist.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 12/5 — Ethan from Lost (WILLIAM MAPOTHER) at McCabe's this past Friday. He only stayed for a quick drink and left a good tip, but he kind of gave me a chill. That scene where Hurley realizes Ethan isn't on the ship's manifest totally gave me goosebumps. No thetans seemed to be left behind, but perhaps we should have sprayed some disinfectant just in case.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Silverman Edition! 12/8 — I spotted BEN SILVERMAN in the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel last night. The Video Hall of Fame event was taking place, so not sure if that's why he was there. Or maybe he just likes the Polo Lounge. much skinnier than I imagined. Eat! Eat!

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 12/4 — I was waiting outside the glass abyss that is CAA in Century City, waiting for my car from the valet alongside ELLEN POMPEO, a.k.a. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy. She seemed to be with a publicist/agent and was wearing that odd combo of a tank top with like super intense boots and a scarf. Most notable was that she was skinny as eff, I thought she might topple over in the wind. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 12/6 — I was at the Griddle on Sunset on Saturday morning and got seated next to FRED SAVAGE. He was sitting with a super-skinny girl who had two oversized pancakes on her plate while he was eating a tiny salad. Probably appropriately so, as he's packed on a few pounds since the days of kissing Winnie. Was talking super-loud about a new comedy project he's involved with and taking notes on a notepad. He seemed sweet. When he saw me eyeing the woman's pancakes, he said I should bypass my order and eat her leftovers instead. I passed.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 12/4 — I was cruising home and decided to stop off to check out some of the sales at the 3rd Street festival. A limo was parked outside of the clothing store Milk, and when I walked in to peruse the racks, a film crew had set up in the back near the dressing rooms. LUDACRIS was shooting some type of commercial, and the director kept telling him to walk in and out of the dressing room and act like "this is the best pair of jeans you've ever put on in your life! You look GREAT!" [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Doomsday Edition! 12/4 — PARIS HILTON at Gil Turner's on Sunset at like 2am last night. Wearing torn stockings, purchasing Red Bull, the New York Post and three slimy packets of Oscar Meyer Bologna. Classy.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Holiday Travel Edition! 11/26 — Day before Thanksgiving, the hellmouth of the Southwest terminal at LAX — Starbucks and the CPK that gave me food poisoning that one time and some vendor that touts itself as "Organic." Picture this — MARIO LOPEZ. Alone, toting an overstuffed plastic bag and nondescript rolling luggage. He is... shiny, like his own wax sculpture came to life. Shock of all shocks, he's shorter in person and not nearly as buffed out as People Magazine would have you believe. But Mario travels in comfort, not style. Running suit. Velour. Midnight blue. Wow.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/24 — At the Arclight, JANICE DICKINSON and her live-in man (?) TOMMY FRY took in a screening of Synecdoche, New York. Surprisingly, Dickinson seemed to enjoy pretty much the entire thing, her trademark cackle echoing now and then through the mostly-empty theater, usually whenever there was poo onscreen, which was often.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/23 — Was at the Grove to have a bite at the Farmer's Market and to see a movie. At the Farmer's Market I saw a woman who looked like DITA VON TEESE all dressed up in a black dress, pale makeup and of course the very red lipstick. She was with 2 other women who were dressed almost exactly like her. If it wasn't her, it was a good carbon copy. Later, I saw JACK STEHLIN from Weeds in Starbucks with what looked like his family. Very unassuming and seemed friendly. On the way to my car I saw MIRA FURLAN (crazy French lady from Lost), rushing across the street. She was dressed in an outfit that could have been actual Lost wardrobe. She's very pretty. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Shipping With the Stars Edition! 11/24 —I saw JASON PRIESTLEY and his wife, maybe? (a cute blonde) having someone from the UPS store in Toluca Lake bring a dolly-full of boxes from the store to their car. As the parking lot behind the store was packed, we all had to fight to even get out, and I think I may have cut him off… oops… [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/23 — Brunch at Alcove in Silver Lake on Sunday; spotted DOMINIC MONAGHAN and EVANGELINE LILLY. She looked fantastic (even in sweats and a T-shirt). He looked like a guy who knew he was the luckiest guy in the world! [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/23 — Okay, so once again, toiling in post-production hell tonight, I go out to get the poor editor some grub at California Canteen on Cahuenga West, and as I’m leaving I see MICHAEL SHEEN, back in Underworld fighting trim, Lycan facial hair, sitting alone at a table near the door, texting away. And I’m about to just bask in his amazing Welsh actorial glow but I am so high from exhaustion I actually turn around and go up to him and say “Mr. Sheen, I never do this, but I saw you in Frost/Nixon in London and you were brilliant.” And I stick out my hand and, in spite of my Sideshow Bob hair and edit bay pallor, he shakes it and smiles and thanks me, and I wish him luck with the film and split. Very. Soft. Hands. And NOBODY at the lab knows who I’m talking about when I tell them. Heathens.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/13 - Just saw sweaty dooshy oily sweaty pudgy squishy BRETT RATNER walking in Beverly Hills accompanied by a nonchalant blonde. He was passing us on the sidewalk, eyeballing a red-headed blue-eyed beauty wearing a black Obama Tshirt that had his face on it in sparkles. I stopped to tell the girl that THE WORLD FAMOUS Brett Ratner had given her the thrice-over and she pondered the possibility of crossing the street a different way to catch his eye again. HOWEVER, she did not do so. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Alec Baldwin in Love Edition! 11/8 — I saw him picking up sushi on Sat. night in the Valley with some really leggy, gorgeous, young looking blonde. They looked like they were on a date. He looked bigger but, happy... Damn I would be happy too, if I had that girl he was with on my arm... She didn't look famous but like a model, kinda familar. They were talking very intimately and looked like they liked each other a lot... [UPDATE: The shocking reveal (maybe!) after the jump!]A tipster follows up:

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/10 — My girlfriend and I were sitting diagonally from MATTHEW MODINE on the 9pm JetBlue flight from Burbank to JFK. He was sitting in the shitty seats in front of the exit row, which do not recline. The upgrade to the "Even more leg room" seats run $40, guess times are tough for Matthew or he decided to make the trip to NYC last minute. My girlfriend and I were sitting there for a good portion of the flight trying to remember what movie he was in, all I came up with was Vision Quest and that movie with Randy Quaid and Paul Reiser, which now I know is called Bye Bye Love thanks to IMDB.
