Why is there no ILX celebrity sighting thread?

Ken Loach. On Euston Road, running for a bus. No limos for Brother Ken.

My wife saw Tony Iommi at an airport in Mexico recently. She freaked out and he grinned and waved at her before making good his escape on a golf cart.

Jonathan Franzen at the premiere of the Mekons documentary (it was easy to recognize him, cuz he's in it).

I'd have never recognize Ken Loach

Hey Morbius, are you AP Mike from The Best Show on WFMU? (He tweeted last night about seeing Franzen at the doc last nite)

no

Jonah Lehrer (is his celebrity status still valid?) at the Magritte exhibition at MOMA.

Fred Armisen & J. Mascis at second MBV gig in NYC.

Lisa Loeb (not performing, just checking out effect pedals) at the Van Nuys Guitar Pedal Expo.

Michael Shannon shopping at indie Brooklyn bookstore, in cool all-red New Balances

synchronicity, I am watching that shitshow Zack Snyder Superman movie

I don't know if she's really a celebrity but Julianna Hatfield walked with her dog across the front of my car this morning when I was stopped at a cross-walk.

Jennifer Garner parked her SUV in the space in front of me on Beverly Bl.

Eric Erlandson of Hole at the Jandek gig on Saturday.

Stephen Strasburg jogging by my work.

John Waters looking downcast as he strolled on lower Sixth Ave last Sunday eve

Troy Sanders, bassist vocalist of Mastodon, at a Publix in Alpharetta, GA last week. Nice guy.

Diane Keaton walking through LAX, in pinstriped leggings and a white bonnet, with her two kids.

Carla from Top Chef / The Chew; her season was more or less the last time I was paying attention to Top Chef.
I thought she was a friend who I couldn't place so I started maniacally waving and yelling "WHAT UP GIRL" and she good naturedly said hi, did a double take and told me she loves my hair.
so carla loves my hair.

Currently sitting fifteen ft from chiwetel ejiofor and chris pine

Nicky Wire in Clas Ohlson, looking at saucepans and or cheese graters.

Yannis from Foals out jogging on Brighton seafront

Xp Wait where? Isn't that a scandiwegian chain or is it a place in Cardiff or something

Yeah it's a chain with a branch in Cardiff.

apparently my wife just saw Mike D walking down Valencia street in the Mission

apparently ... like ... according to mike d?

well they did not intereact so I gotta take her word for it that it was him

my wife's all excited cos she's been asked to judge the kids talent show at our street party alongside "graham from elastica". have tried explaining that there wasn't a graham, but she's not having it at all

i was sitting on a bench in teardrop park in battery park city a few weeks ago. no one else in the park at all for a while but then a small group of 4 men show up, with a film camera, and one starts monologuing about something into the camera while walking around. it's just me and them. i notice that the one talking is a fairly chubby guy with ugly clothes and a goatee. as they get closer i start to make out his face and voice and realize it's leonardo di caprio. end of story. i hope i find out what the hell they were filming, someday.

Noted Austrian thriller writer Josef Haslinger at a Vienna pizzeria yesterday, which will no doubt be of great interest to fans of noted Austrian thriller writers.

Thurston Moore looked at my cock tonight. Lankily leaning around a doorframe to see if there was room to get on the other side of my dick.

i went to get on the subway and a group of people were staring at the stop and one woman kept taking photos
so i jumbled through them, saw the guy in the center and had two thoughts simultaneously
1) hey that's judd apatow
2) oh shit, he's gonna fuck up my commute isn't he

Just under 24 hours after the above in London, I blocked St3phani3 B3atriz' suitcase with my suitcase at an indie comic shop in Brooklyn.

have crossed paths with Boots Riley twice now in the past 6 mos

2) oh shit, he's gonna fuck up my commute isn't he

did he make it an hour longer than it should've been?

This probably doesn't count, but Bruce LaBruce's sister's office is a few doors down the hall from mine.

Elizabeth Ashley in the film lobby of MoMA, effusively praising some bygone Nic Cage performance -- i think it was Face/Off

no wait, she was in Vampire's Kiss! iMdB when in doubt.
