Last week (Sat. night), I was sitting next to Jamie Foxx and his entourage at Balboa on Sunset Blvd. A very un-exclusive Hollywood hang-out, if you ask me, so I was kinda surprised to see him.

Last weekend: author Philip Roth, talking to a streetside book vendor w/ a table full of "The Plot Against America." "Yo, buddy, I'm not getting any royalties here."

Back in the middle of December, my friend and I went to Burke W1ll1ams day spa in the Sherman Oaks Galleria, and we saw P4ul4 4bdul there, naked and crying hysterically with her friend.

― Big Baby Bingo (Chris V), Monday, 7 February 2005 17:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw Moby at the Film Forum concessions counter last week, garnishing his popcorn. (Not as memorable a FF moment as the time Keanu Reeves and his two friends repeatedly circled the auditorium at a sold-out showing of a Lenny Bruce documentary before they secured 3 folding chairs in the back.)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 7 February 2005 19:44 (twenty-one years ago)

So my fav thing about celebrity sightings on, say, Gawker is that they make for good restaurant recommendations.

First thing when I walked out my apartment yesterday was Maggie Gyllenhaal wearing a kind of ugly outfit and an iPod. She looked cute.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 7 February 2005 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...

Penelope Cruz in the lobby of Chateau Marmont on Friday night. Very pretty woman. Made eye contact but that's it. Love Castillian lisping. Also saw Patti LaBelle sitting with flowers. Apparently Orlando Bloomps was in a bungalow next to one where I was at a party, but no one saw him.

Julianne Moore, at Dojo on Bleecker on Sunday afternoon (NYC). She's still hot, I don't know how old she is, but wow.

― Jay-Kid (Jay-Kid), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

That bloke from Eastenders, possibly called Minty, who used to be an extra who was one of Phil Mitchell's hard nut mates and then worked his way up to a speaking role as the unrequited lover of Sam Mitchell and now may or may not be in it any more (I gave up watching it about a year ago). He moved into the flat directly across the street from my flat a few weeks ago.

Also, Bernard Butler must live very nearby too. I've seen him around a few times. Once I found myself sitting opposite him on the Victoria Line. We both got off at Finsbury Park and both queued up for the same bus. Then we both got off at the same bus stop and walked down the same three streets. By this stage I was getting worried he would think I was a mad stalker so I pretended to tie my shoelace until he disappeared out of sight.

― The Horse of Babylon (the pirate king), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah Minty is still in EE I think. Was he also originally off Grange Hill like years ago?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

GO OVER AND ASK HIM NOW!!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 22 February 2005 23:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Mike Nichols, director, creeping into a matinee preview of his "Monty Python's Spamalot" as I was buying a balcony ticket for next month. (Said to be a yearlong sellout once it opens next week, so leap if you must.)

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Saw W!ll3m D4f0e around lunchtime the other day at 6th and Canal. He was carrying a shopping bag and wearing a long black down-or-miracle-insulator coat that reached down almost to his feet. Call me provincial, but I've never seen this type of coat on a guy before.

― Ken L (Ken L), Thursday, 10 March 2005 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw Steve Coogan and his missus a few weeks ago. They were pulling out of the Ditchling Beacon carpark (in a silver Porsche, sadly not a Lexus) as we were pulling in. We were so excited, we almost crashed into the bugger. And I could see him mutter to his wife something like "what the hell are those prats up to?". A-ha!

― NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 12:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Crispin Glover last Friday night, on the other side of the glass from me at the WFMU studios during their fundraiser. He wore his usual vintage suit and was polite and well-spoken.

I once walked past Hristo Stoichkov on a quiet Sunday afternoon in Meguro-ku during the mercurial Bulgarian brief spell in the J-League. He was accompanied by a very Balkan-looking friend-cum-bodyguard bloke.

Noel Edmonds, ExCel

― Sven Bastard (blueski), Sunday, 20 March 2005 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I just saw the King Adrock in front of me at the line in the Italian sandwich place in Soho that was perhaps once known as the sandwich nazi. His friend was going to pay for his own sandwich, but then Mr. Horovitz said "No, no, no. You come to me, you come to me."

― Ken L (Ken L), Thursday, 31 March 2005 18:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I should allow myself to post more on this thread. I walked right by Famke again yesterday. I still have no balls.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 31 March 2005 18:16 (twenty-one years ago)

You should show her that photo of you in the blonde wig, Spencer. No woman could resist that.
