I saw Cynthia Nixon again.

Walking toward subway w/my wife yesterday she said "oh that was Cynthia Nixon, you've seen here around too, hmm?" As it happened, I was ogling another woman at that moment, so I grunted "Uh huh."

Fair enough, there's plenty of British "celebrities" on this thread who no-one outside the UK will ever have heard of (xpost)

― Oh No It's Dadaismus! (Dada), Friday, 15 September 2006 09:04 (nineteen years ago)

Last night, N4than L4ne, walking his dog, avoiding eye contact, near Holland Tunnel exit. Then I saw Cat Power on the A train, wearing Joey Ramone-style knees-missing jeans, but maybe it was just a ringer.

this has always been my life until this job (thanks forks!). the only famous person i'd ever spotted before the past month or two was jared leto once at the mall in rochester (weird, but it was totally him).

Ek. Jared Leto. I think I'd vomit right on the spot.

I saw Bryce Dallas Howard at the Loteria Grill inside the Farmer's Market. I only recognized who she was because posters for that damn Lady In The Water movie were saturating L.A. for so long.

nina sosanya (pic below as i had no idea what her name was until now) outside a caff on upper st (i think it was upper st, can't really remember) last week.

B3n Aff1eck and Jennifer were making out on a bench in the courtyard of my dorm last year, no joke! I should have taken some pics and sold them.

J4n3an3 Garofalo, last night in Soho.

Chr!sty Tur1!ngt0n, this morning in Tribeca.

― Ruud Comes to Haarvest (Ken L), Friday, 29 September 2006 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

Hayl3y West3nra at the "Wicked" London premiere the other night. Astonishingly I didn't see a single other celeb.

saw common again - dude is always wearing the worst hats. a knit pageboy, ugh.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Friday, 29 September 2006 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

what was wicked like?

― emsk ( emsk), Friday, 29 September 2006 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

I really enjoyed it. The music wasn't all that, the lyrics a bit meh, but the story was great fun and it looked fantastic. If brassy west end musicals are your thing then I'm sure you'd like it.

― === temporary username === (Mark C), Friday, 29 September 2006 15:30 (nineteen years ago)

Indie-film perennial Josh Hamilton and alt-comedian Todd Barry at Yo La Tengo show in Jersey City.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Monday, 2 October 2006 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

cheers mark - they aren't generally but once every four or five years i like to do something like that.

― emsk ( emsk), Monday, 2 October 2006 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

rode in elevator with ed harris one day at work (cuet!). also saw philip seymour hoffman but supposedly that's not a special sighting as he's there all the time.

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Monday, 2 October 2006 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

a knit pageboy, ugh.

Someone Common loves is a knitter. Give the man a break.

― Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Monday, 2 October 2006 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

last week: carlos santana (a regular customer at my place of employment) and lady sovereign. i was forced by my superiors to do a brief meet-n-greet with sov and her manager & dj, and a rep from def jam. all of us, including sov, were not thrilled to be chatting.

― something less threatening (heywood), Monday, 2 October 2006 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

this dude came into the coffee house i usually go to yesterday. i didn't see him but the girl behind the counter said he was on 'gilmore girls' playing some foreign kid. so i guess him, whoever he is.

― gear (gear), Monday, 2 October 2006 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

The other day, Ms Dynamite and both of the Mighty Boosh within thirty seconds of each other on my road.

― chap who would dare to contain two ingredients. Tea and bags. (chap), Monday, 2 October 2006 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

last week they shot a gilmore girls episode on my campus -- they were pretending it was yale.

― real savage-like (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 2 October 2006 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

On the way to Jay-Z+Beyonce+Nas+Chris Martin+Gwyneth+Memphis Bleek last week, Sam "Preston-but-not-Britney's-kid" Preston from some reality series jumped out of a black Beemer with a smirk. He was heading for a hotel.

― Badrock Example (Barima), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

where did you see Johnson and Svenonious?

they DJed in a hayfield here in the middle of the night to about 20 people! it was bizarre

― RoxyMuzak© (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

Why are people named Preston? I just don't understand.

― GILLY'S BAGG'EAR VANCE OF COUPARI (Ex Leon), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

Because there are already enough "Paris"s in the world.

― Three In A Bed Socks Romp (kate), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

there is never enough paris

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 3 October 2006 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

Preston that Barima saw = Samuel Preston. He's the lead singer of the staggeringly-appropriately-named Ordinary Boys, but is "famous" for being on Celebrity Big Brother and marrying the non-celeb one who was on it who is more famous than him, despite not actually being famous. Or something.

My friend had a dog called Preston. It's a nice name for a dog.

Miami Steve Van Zandt, in Sylvio Dante drag!

― Ruud Comes to Haarvest (Ken L), Thursday, 5 October 2006 20:53 (nineteen years ago)

Saw Lou Reed yesterday, he looked better than I did. It hurt.

― Lara (Lara), Thursday, 5 October 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

I saw Stuart Murdoch today at the CCA in Glasgow. He was trying to get into the bar, but he couldn't because it was being used as a lunch venue for the seminar I was at. Poor love, I hope he found somewhere else to go and drink/eat.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 5 October 2006 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

bono, the edge, dave stewart.
but it wasn't exactly a random sighting.

― sometimes my entire life be like DAMNNN! (tehresa), Thursday, 5 October 2006 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

barima, did you see Bey-Z???? If so I am jealous. Why they are hanging around GweynthChrisPlay I don't know.. . .

― Sam: Screwed and Chopped (Molly Jones), Friday, 6 October 2006 03:03 (nineteen years ago)

I saw Paul Weller in Woking Shopping centre, about five years ago. He mentioned it in a subsequent interview (he didn;t mention me though)...

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 6 October 2006 07:48 (nineteen years ago)

Danny McNamara (I think he counts if only cos he did a football song) in the Mash Tun in Brighton on Monday.

― uptoeleven (uptoeleven), Friday, 6 October 2006 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

When William Macy was in a play in London a few years a go I saw him twice on consecutive weekends around covent garden and in a wagamama. He was with family so I probably saw Felicity Huffman too, but she wasn't famous in those days.

― Mark Co (Markco), Friday, 6 October 2006 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

i forgot to mention that i saw corky from life goes on in the deli near work the other day.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 6 October 2006 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

Richard Beymer (Ben Horne in Twin Peaks, and Tony in West Side Story) at the Peets Coffee on Larchmont yesterday.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 6 October 2006 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

I saw Ben Folds at Starbucks. He is smaller than expected.

― molly d (mollyd), Friday, 6 October 2006 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

barima, did you see Bey-Z???? If so I am jealous.

I lucked into a ticket at the last minute from one of my best pals, so I was very fortunate. It was off the chain. Gwyneth Aguilera's guest spot was mildly diverting.

crossing 57th St & Broadway in Manhattan last Monday, I spotted a pale green Jaguar from like the early 50s stopped at the light. cool. scoping out the car, a convertible w/top down I recognized the driver as "journalist" GERALDO RIVERA. he was dressed all tweedy, rocking the Ralph Lauren look, he might've had on an ascot or maybe that's just my imagination. plus 1 young dude riding shotgun.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Saturday, 7 October 2006 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

what's funny is that happened around 5 PM and walking toward midtown earlier that morning I caught a glimpse of the same car going past.

Geraldo was out cruising instead of atoning for his sins I guess.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Saturday, 7 October 2006 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

boris johnson! whistling! on his bike! on the way to poptimism (me, not him) the other night!

― emsk ( emsk), Saturday, 7 October 2006 21:28 (nineteen years ago)

I saw Frank Dobson in M&S a few weeks back. How unexciting is that? Can you top that?

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 8 October 2006 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

umm... i saw nicola from big brother 1 walking down oxford street with her entourage the week after she was evicted?
