"Payne's seperation follows a string of 50% of American marriages ending in divorce."

I mean, was there really a RASH of Hollywood couples splitting up? Couldn't you find four couples to say that about at pretty much any time?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 13 May 2005 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes.

Haha I can't believe I forgot that Yancey talked to James Ellroy while Ellroy was taking a shit. - brushes with greatness (again)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 13 May 2005 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I THOUGHT it was PAYNE but then a friend told me the same thing, they be split. The dude she was with was about 6'5", a big fella.

Emma Granger (Herminone off Harry Potter) going to Rufus Wainwright. Saw Rufus too, but that doesn't count cos it was his gig. Sat next to Peter who used to be in Heavenly, but they aren't really that famous anymore. He was at the Jeffrey Lewis gig I went to last night too...

― jellybean (jellybean), Saturday, 14 May 2005 01:07 (twenty-one years ago)

obviously that's Emma Watson and not Granger.. Brain not working...need to get some sleep.

Lucy Liu and Justine Bateman

After this auction thing was over, Lucy drove away in her Toyota Prius. Defamer had her in Beverly Hills a couple of days before, however, in a Range Rover. It's important to have choices.

Paul Morley, yesterday morning, in Archway - OK, more of an ILM "celeb"

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 10:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I saw Mike D this morning in Soho walking around with his morning paper, but I was bending down to release my pant(trouser)leg from my sock, so I didn't clock him properly.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:12 (twenty-one years ago)

My kids go to the same school as Emma (Hermione) Watson, so we tend to see her quite often.

― C J (C J), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Ralph Nader at lunch last week. He didn't look overly concerned about the safety of his sandwich.

bobby gillespie, years ago, at a werner herzog film at the nft.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Boris Johnson sighting number 284, entering local sandwich bar BUTTY BOYS.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I ignore Kelly Osbourne everytime I run into her, it must drive her insane.

I said wassup to Luis Guzman and he was all weird so I considered robbing his ass

― LeCoq (LeCoq), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 13:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I helped Bobby Gillespie carry his kid in a pushchair down some steps at King's Cross on Friday, although I didn't notice it was him until I looked up past his (cute) kid halfway down.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

ethan hawke and uma thurman, with dog and stroller, walking down 23rd street. then, about two minutes later, mo rocca in a kinko's on 7th ave.

A friend of mine writes:

So, there I was, over in our Other Office Round The Corner where I don't normally go, discussing work stuff with one of the engineers, and Geraldine the office cleaner was chattering on about the importance of a healthy diet.

G: I never eat crisps, or junk food, or anything like that.
Me: Mmm-hmm
G: They're very bad for you.
Me: Oh yes.
G: Just ask Shay Healy over there.
Shay Healy: Very bad for you, yes.

I think my brain just refused to deal with it for a second, and I just sat there with a WHAT THE FUCK IS A COMPOSER OF EUROVISION WINNING SONGS DOING SITTING AT A DESK IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND EVERYONE IS ACTING AS IF THIS IS NORMAL expression on my face.

Apparently due to some arrangement with our CEO, he uses one of the desks in the office a couple of days a week. Still deeply bizarre.

if gary indiana counts as a celebrity, he stopped in to say hi to my boss the other day.

― joseph (joseph), Friday, 3 June 2005 16:25 (twenty-one years ago)

It is funny that this thread started with a Keanu sighting in SF, and now I have squared the circle by walking past him in NY the other day. Ah, the endless cosmic joust.

― Ally C (Ally C), Friday, 3 June 2005 17:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Neo haunts the footsteps of ilx.

DENNIS NORDEN, no less, rathbone place, friday afternoon...

― N_RQ, Monday, 6 June 2005 08:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Sara Cox would appear to live across the road from me, or in my street at the very least

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Monday, 6 June 2005 08:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, I sat next to that gimp at a Cecil Taylor concert, but that was probably about 14 years ago. Always a mystery to me how a man of such taste can make so much godawful music. Wish I'd have asked him...

― NickB (NickB), Monday, 6 June 2005 09:00 (twenty-one years ago)

This is highly unfair as I didn't walk past any slebs the whole time I was there (to the best of my knowledge).

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Monday, 6 June 2005 09:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw Paul Morely on the tube yesterday, got on at Archway and got off at Euston. Had an unposted letter in his pocket. Not strictly a celebrity, but, well, this is ILx.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 6 June 2005 10:16 (twenty-one years ago)

fucking hell! that's *real* celebrity, and it means he's local. excellent stalker detail too, thx.

― N_RQ, Monday, 6 June 2005 10:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I've sat at a table to Bobby Gillespie in a couple of pubs in my time as well. Once, very drunkenly, me and my pal decided to see how long it would take to piss him off by pointing out his existence at a high volume every few seconds (answer: not very).

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 6 June 2005 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes and I saw him at Archway a few weeks back, he must live in the area now. Never mind all that tho, yesterday I saw... RONNIE CORBETT!!!!!!!! Boy, was I excited. The strange thing is he was taller in real life than he appears on screen and it usually works the opposite way.

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 09:29 (twenty-one years ago)

if gary indiana counts as a celebrity

this might be stretching the defintion. I could imagine him STALKING & MURDERING a celebrity, though

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Some of these are very impressive.

I believe Gillespie Jr is called Wolfman.

I once saw Terry Scott. He was licking an ice cream.

But Ronnie Corbett is very much the man of the moment, so Dadismus is in the lead.

― Peter Stringbender (PJ Miller), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 10:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Gillespie Jr. is called Wolf, which was Hitler's nickname

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 10:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha, remember when Neneh Cherry named her son (or maybe daughter?) Tyson and the next week he got sent to prison for rape (Mike that is, not Neneh's offspring)

― Vicious Cop Kills Gentle Fool (Dada), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Wilmer and... PINK at the Standard rooftop last Sunday. David J was also wandering around and hanging with Peaches.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 10 June 2005 19:57 (twenty-one years ago)

i saw amy ray of the indigo girls in front of the australian embassy to the usa yesterday.

it's odd that i would recognize an indigo girl.

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Friday, 10 June 2005 20:02 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost, it was weird by the way. They arrived together and left together. Great cars.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 10 June 2005 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

"Great cars"? Who are you, Adam Levine?

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 10 June 2005 20:12 (twenty-one years ago)

We are occasionally "of like mind."

Miccio would've wet himself had he been with me at a bar in my neighbourhood last night, as there was his hero Fred Durst with his entourage hanging out near the bar. He's wee.

― Bryan (Bryan), Saturday, 11 June 2005 23:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Should I really avoid this thread? I have good sightings, but maybe it's boring since I hang out in Hollywood anyway...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

i think i saw al goldstein today. he's lost weight.

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw Wilford Brimley at Psychobabble a couple of days ago. He looked grandfatherly.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 20:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I not only saw but actually spoke to Steve Davis at a Magma gig in Paris a few weeks ago. I think it reflects badly on me that this was one of the greatest moments of my life thus far.

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 20:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I'm still trying to catch my breath after reading about that 2004 Deborah Mailman sighting. Dude, Kelly is my absolute favorite character off "Secret Life Of Us"!! She is the coolest!

Me -- well, about a month ago I ran into a local celeb. I mentioned this in another thread, I think; I was working at an election and a local TV news anchor who looks a lot like Mr. Spock and his wife went in to vote. A little over a week ago, Mom worked at the runoff and spotted them again. He looks more human-like in person, but I was really impressed by how normal his wife looked and acted! She's not a skinny plastic surgery bitch -- rejoice!

Oh, and we're having to get some work done at the house, and one of the people we've most recently called up for help was one of my dad's former cowworkers. He now works at the SBC Center -- apparently he ran into Al Michaels before Game One of the finals and said Michaels was genial and was carrying around a bunch of grapes. I would've asked about Alanis but knew he probably wouldn't have known who she was so I didn't.

Another reason why my current gig rules: Sandy Pearlman, producer of the Clash and Blue Oyster Cult, was up in Toronto today to promote his new digital music initiative. I was expecting some guy with over the top rock persona but he was surprisingly introverted and non-cliched. Cool guy.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 14 June 2005 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Adr1an Chil3s, walking down my street on Sunday moring on his way to play football in the park. No idea he lived close, and didn't even recognise him until he opened his gob and started talking.

― NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 12:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't leave the thread, you're the Mary Hart.

― Leon C. (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 12:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I exchanged banter with Ulrika Johnsson on Sunday night at War of the Worlds - she caught me nicking one of McFly's water bottles (mine had been nicked by someone else already) and made me give it back. I cracked a funny (which I can't remember for the life of me) and, when I handed said mulleted dude the water, Ulrika told me I was going to go to heaven.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 21 June 2005 12:44 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, in the past couple weeks I've seen Chloe Sevigny, Kirsten Dunst and Mandy Moore all poolside for various parties at the Hollywood Roosevelt (I think they're filming some kind of reality show there about promoters, but I don't think we were being filmed). Also, Eliza Dushku at a bar called, uh, "Bar" last monday.
