Tuesday I saw Bruc3 W!ll!s wearing white shorts t-shirt sneakers and baseball cap walking with a cute curly headed brunette girl next door type going into the same Soho boutique K4t3 M0ss or her double went into- L3g4cy.

Today when crossing Canal from Soho into Tribeca, I saw a tall sexy fullgrown woman walking a little dog while holding a silky parasol. She went under some scaffolding and closed the parasol and, even though she was wearing shades, I could see it was Dr Jean Grey, F4mk3 J4nss3n.

Noel Gallagher in New Quebec Street, Fitzrovia, looking around in wonder at his surroundings.

The bloke who played Mark Fowler in Eastenders and Gabriel on the Bill (until last week) was in an offy on Muswell Hill Broadway buying beer and wine. He then got in some kind of SUV and drove off towards Hornsey. How exciting.

I walked past the Pussy Cat Dolls, there were dozens of them (since their entourage all looked exactly like the actual Dolls) and they smelled like a drugstore.

It's almost like you work in one of the most up-market and famous stores in the world, Michael...

I saw perma-tanned former SSP leader Tommy Sheridan in Buchanan Street underground station today.

Yeah, Michael, show-off :)

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 09:23 (twenty years ago)

Burt Bacharach! Last Friday at a Starbucks in midtown Manhattan!

Even if you didn't recognize him as a genius/popicon you'd see him and think "wow that guy's got the most amazing head of grey hair."

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 10:00 (twenty years ago)

ian mcewan, fitzroy square, last tuesday afternoon.

Juliette Lewis at the Chicago Music Exchange (fancy guitar store) with her bandmates, looking at pricey guitars (including a $6500 Firebird).

Once I saw Edward Norton (3dw4rd n0r70n?) getting out of a limousine downtown and I yelled "Hi Edward Norton!" to him. My friend literally soiled himself, but in his defense it was on a dare and not out of excitement. I also saw the singer for Okkervil River in a Japanese restaurant; he bought the Vegetarian Bento.

― owen moorhead (i heart daniel miller), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 20:37 (twenty years ago)

I stood next to TV dreamboat Dermot O'Leary at the football tonight. He's terribly handsome in real life.

My friend literally soiled himself

LITERALLY??

Michael "Kramer" Richards at my fave Village health-food diner last night. I looked up from my salmon chowder and found myself staring into his eyes as he lumbered in; how I avoided laughing I can't say.

Years ago, when my kids were little, we were at the clothing-optional end of the beach here. K3vin C0stn3r walked by and my kids struck up a conversation with him a few yards away from where I was lounging on my beach towel. I wanted to get a t-shirt made that said "K3vin C0stn3r Saw Me Naked."

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Friday, 11 November 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

MR HUGH GRANT oozing charrm and savwah faire, while waiting for single occupancy restroom at NYC restaurant. Looked like he does on screen only shorter of course. I suspect he wanted me to give up my place in line so a bonafide sex symbol could take a piss. No way.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Sunday, 13 November 2005 22:06 (twenty years ago)

ian mcwean, for the third time on this thread, and in pretty much the same place (grafton way, nr TCR), yesterday evening.

two weeks pass...

I sat right next to Les Dennis in a Thai restaurant in Soho last night. To my disappointment, he didn't do his Mavis impression once. Maybe I should have asked him.

Stuart Murdoch on the underground again the other day.

Someone who may or may not have been Craig Bellamy outside my work in Glasgow.

Gary Lewis (Billy Elliot's dad, amongst other things), also outside my work.

Was at the Arclight last night and stumbled into a Category 5 celebrity sighting courtesy of the private showings of both Brokeback Mountain and Match Point that ended around the same time. In the space of about fifteen minutes I saw Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Rhys-Meyer, Brian Cox, Emily Mortimer, and Heath Ledger. Ang Lee was next to me in the line to pay for parking.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 9 December 2005 17:45 (twenty years ago)

I almost saw Mariah Carey the other week. She was doing an appearence at HMV on Oxford Street, I walked past all the waiting fans. About a minute later they all started screaming, I didn't look back. I'm assuming the screaming was because she'd turned up.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 9 December 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

jel = post of the day.

Last night I met Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett from Mighty Boosh and then Razorlight singer (Johnny Borrel?!) came over and we all hung out for a bit.

Then on the train back to Canterbury today Orlando Bloom sat next to me.

― Hairy Asshurt (Toaster), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 23:21 (twenty years ago)

Bloom looked like hell.

I accidentally went to see Corrine Bailey-Rae(sp ?) last night. The evening was not an entire disaster, however, as I stood next to "Ooh" Gary Davies.

― Adam Faithless (Adam Faithless), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

Stephin and Claudia of The Magnetic Fields at the silent Hitchcock double bill at Film Forum. He was chain-drinking tea.

Curtis Sliwa in characteristic red beret walking down 6th Avenue this afternoon, not a potential mob assassin in sight.
