Why is there no ILX celebrity sighting thread?

I walked by Keri Russell on my way to lunch. Very pretty IRL!

that's surprising... she's so ugly on tv! #sarcasm

warr3n ellis of bad seeds/dirty 3 in westfield shopping centre closely followed by zaina badawi in the tube round the corner. also accidentally nicked billy braggs seat on the tube the other day, what a run!

James Murphy in front of the Ace Hotel in Portland, Oregon, last Saturday.

a week before the election Clegg walked by me at a distance of about 10 yards away. if only i had jonny from dead zone-esque powers things might have all been different!

...

LAMB'S CONDUIT STREET?!?!

the best street name in london

also kinda sad cuz it's near gt ormond st and last time i was there i saw this terribly ill looking lil kid apparently undergoing chemo

I'm quite fond of Haunch Of Venison Yard, near where about 3 weeks ago I saw a guy who looked a whole lot like R Crumb.

There are gazillions of telly trucks over at Great Ormond Street right now because that's where they took the fox-mauled twins. No kid getting treatment is more depressing than watching patients at the neurological hospital on Queen Square having a fag in their tracksuits, while rocking an IV stand.

I live a block away from all of this but on the plus side, the pharmacy at the homeopathic hospital is a cheaper Holland and Barrett and the tiny coffee shop across from GOSH is the best in London.

And Abeno on Museum St too!

John Madden getting a cheesesteak at the Cheesesteak shop on Divisadero in San Francisco about 1/2 hour ago.

Pretty sure that was Tim Harrington I walked by in front of the Met last Wed.

this is the most boring thread on ilx

And here's another boring sighting! I saw Jarvis Cocker crossing the road in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. I followed him into a deli where he purchased some pies. Pretty exciting eh?

that ones actually pretty good tbh

harry hamlin, walkin round my hood

Also this summer I have hugged Alan Cumming, shaken the hands of Martha Wash and Michael Rother, and had Jimmy Cliff walk past me.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What kind of pies? I need to know. JK. That is a good one. I would probably have died a swift fangirl death if I saw him out in public tbh.

Joek or no, I was interested too. I'm not sure what precise pies he had - he was having a discussion with this other person about how many they had to feed and I felt a little rude trying to eavesdrop, also I had my son standing next to me saying "tell him you prefer the Shatner version of Common People" so I was trying to sush him, but they were from this delicious range - http://www.pieminister.co.uk

I was rather trying to think of something to say to him that didn't sound too much of a cliche and which he might have appreciated. And about ten minutes after he had gone I suddenly remembered this...

http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-events-sounds/

I bet no-one asks him about that. I would have looked super cool.

He is generally very kind to people who approach him - even if they're drunks in Soho at 2am.

Esp. if they come bearing pies

I had to mediate an art talk between Jarv and one other at the Tate; afterwards the Talks woman took all of us to dinner. We decided to carry on afterward and made our way to Dean Street from the restaurant in Lexington Street and Jarvis was apprehended so often it was like watching a politician making his way down a rope line...entirely filled with drunks. We didn't want a posher version of same so we swerved the Groucho for Jerry's Theatre Bar and a Bontempi organ where Jarvis wound up leading the room's singalong to Andy Williams tracks.

also I had my son standing next to me saying "tell him you prefer the Shatner version of Common People

lol

suzy that is a great story

Still the only celebrity I've ever seen is Joan Cusak. Where are they all at??????

Shooting fish in a barrel Edinburgh festival sighting section; Arthur Smith, Matt Green, Al Murray, Lucy Porter, Richard Herring. Not all together. My sister claimed to have seen Annie Lennox, who I missed.

I think he's Steve J's brother?

Gilbert and George, artists, at Notting Hill Gate on Saturday afternoon.

justin long at a local gourmet joint. i was waiting outside for my food and he came out and said hi to me before i even recognized him. guess he was anticipating me saying hi to him and wanted to get it over with? or he's just a friendly dude.

who the fuck is justin long

oohhh ok i am smitten

A likable, boyish-looking actor with thick eyebrows and a friendly smile, Justin Long is a native of Connecticut.

he is friendly!

so far this week: Giovanni ribisi, Taylor negron and the girl from the nanny and californication

last week: crispin glover, Michael cera, Michael angarano (sp?), clu gulager

Although I've lived in this neighbourhood for almost three years, the past two weeks have offered me my first hungover-and-going-for-coffee-in-sweatpants sightings of Rupert Everett, who lives around the corner. First time I was sitting with a bunch of gay friends on a corner table outside the pub, and he stared at us (one of them was a well-known gay journalist) while passing - three times - and the second was last Saturday when I was getting on the Tube at Holborn. It was 8am, so somebody getting out to go home had clearly ridden the Slut Express and picked up a newspaper on the way.

keanu reeves at the poquito mas in studio city, lookin' scraggly

the one on cahuenga?

Like it when a thread comes full circle.

yep. right by my workplace

haha jaymc i didn't even notice that!

this morning: kinsey from mad men, zack de la rocha

together?

separate but very near. kinsey was crossing the street by my bank while looking shifty eyed and a little disturbed by people recognizing him (not me). zack de la rocha was getting into his car in front of a posh coffee place.

Matthew Modine walking near the Bowery w/ a friend

Thurston Moore (he counts?) at the Tuli Kupferberg film tribute

It's questionable to you if Thurston Moore counts but Matthew Modine is a given?
