conversation with friend of a girl i'm friends with who came into my restaurant and sat in my section:

me: so, what do you do?
her: um, i'm in a movie.
me: really? awesome. so, what, is it like an indie or...?
her: uh, no. it's a hollywood movie.
me: wow, that's cool. who's in it?
her: ben stiller
me: holy shit, you're serious? not joking? how much time do you get on the movie, how big is your role?
her: uhh... i'm the main character.

two weeks pass...

Honestly, it's just too good not to tell. So I go to Teddy's on wednesday and see Eve, Elisha Cuthbert, Paris Hilton (standard clientele), and... Sean Penn. My friend's sister steps on his foot, but we were relieved when he's cool about it. 5 minutes after we leave, Eve crashes her Maserati Quattroporte into a median. The big news is that Sean Penn went to visit her in jail at 4am and offered to bail her out! He didn't seem like he was on the make or anything. I think he was just like, 'gotta bail out my drinking buddy'. Also, I may have been freakin' on Eve on the dancefloor...

wow. that makes me really wanna befriend sean penn! even moreso than before... also puts elvis costello and philip glass sightings to shame!

i don't know if she's really a celebrity but i also saw caroline rhea while walking down 6th ave after work one day. she looked really shitty and was wearing some of the ugliest pink track pants i have ever seen.

Robert de Niro at Trinity Church screening of Passio

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 30 April 2007 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

Who or what is Eve?

Sally Phi11ips on Berwick Street, looking pregnant.

Alison from Big Brother 2002, Epcot Florida.

Dawn says "Oh, there's Alison from BB!" I say "Oh, she looks like her..."

And then she produces a microphone and starts talking into a camera in brummie..

― Mark G, Monday, 30 April 2007 14:52 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I saw someone that looked very like Sandy-that-pissed-in-a-bin-and-jumped-over-the-fence from Big Brother at London City Airport last Sunday. I've still never seen any of the Scottish Big Brother contingent (I must be the only one never to have seen Shahbaz!), though my brother was on first name terms with Cameron's mum when she was flying down for all his eviction nights back in the day.

― ailsa, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

Eve is a rapper/singer/actress. She was in Barbershop and, most recently, a mugshot.

Who's Sally Phi11ps.

― Ms Misery, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

Comedy actress - Smack the Pony, I'm Alan Partridge, Bridget Jones films, rubbish sitcoms.

― ailsa, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

I love her!

― Dr.C, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

I fear you're too late (I used to love her too, in Alan Partridge, sigh).

― Mark C, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

note: no one asked who ROBERT DE NIRO is

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

My dad did, once, when he met him. Well, he came home and told us he'd met some American actor called Robert De Niro and had we heard of him because apparently he's quite famous?

― ailsa, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

I used to love her too, in Alan Partridge

That sounds so ew. I don't know why. Maybe I have a filthy mind.

― stevienixed, Monday, 30 April 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

Last weekend in London - Louis Theroux cycling up Oxford Street, Peter Bowles in Covent Garden, an obscure British actor called Milton Johns also in Covent Garden, Jack Davenport and Jenny Agutter in Soho (not together).

And about 3 minutes after arriving back in Cardiff, saw Stuart Cable!

― nate woolls, Monday, 30 April 2007 17:47 (nineteen years ago)

Milton Johns is in the middle in this photo:

for some reason I think I had assumed peter bowles was dead

― RJG, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

He looked close

Jonathan Dimbleby. Who's about 2 foot tall.

― Tom D., Tuesday, 8 May 2007 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

Norman Blake again, standing in the window of a building down the back of George Square.

Bjorn from Abba walked past me last week, just off Great Portland Street.

― Daniel Giraffe, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

Douglas Hurd. Just along from Bank station.

― Tom D., Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

Ryan Gosling at La Cita in downtown L.A. a few weeks back. Very friendly.

― MikeyH, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

Walter Smith outside Ibrox. Shunsuke Nakamura outside Celtic Park.

(seeing people outside their place of work probably shouldn't count, should it?)

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

i love la cita! i propose an laxor downtown dance night there.

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:24 (nineteen years ago)

― acrobat, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, I nearly forgot: Maggie Gyllenhall, Peter Saarsgaard, and some older woman, walking in Soho; Maggie and the older woman sat down on a bench to talk, while Saarsgaard was sent into a store to fetch Maggie some frozen yogurt.

P.S. Maggie G is evidently the sort of celebrity who looks 1000x times BETTER in person than in any film she's ever done.

I see Ben Folds a lot (and usually resist the urge to throw things at him). The last time, when my mother was in town, he opened the door for her as we were exiting a restaurant. She greeted him with buoyant "Why, thank you!" and he looked confused and midly frightened. She didn't know who he was. She was just being her regular friendly self.

― molly mummenschanz, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:38 (nineteen years ago)

Why would you want to throw things at Ben Folds? Even if you don't like his music, he seems like a hard guy to hate.

(Wait, you don't look like Axl Rose, do you?)

― nabisco, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

nabisco, I do, actually. Spitting image.

― molly mummenschanz, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:57 (nineteen years ago)

Good lord, I'm making mid-90s Ben Folds lyric-reference jokes, someone help

― nabisco, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:03 (nineteen years ago)

I saw Steve Buscemi chilling at some Village cafe looking exactly like Steve Buscemi.

― sexyDancer, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:05 (nineteen years ago)

xpost - nabisco, for me, lyrics like that create an urge to throw small objects. I met this girl... oh sweet jesus. Now it's stuck in my head.

― molly mummenschanz, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:09 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

Forgot to catch up on my posting here...

Cybill Shepherd at the Charles Phoenix show at the John Anson Ford Theater.
Rob Corddry at The Grove
David Spade at The Grove later on

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 1 June 2007 07:27 (nineteen years ago)

hahahah I can outdo you guys! I totally saw Fr4ncesc4 V4nthi3l3n who is a famous presenter and actress in Belgium. She came into my shop asking for batteries for her watch.

― stevienixed, Friday, 1 June 2007 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

Alison Steadman looking lost near Oxford Circus.

I saw James Nesbitt on Berwick St last week.

― Colonel Poo, Friday, 1 June 2007 11:55 (nineteen years ago)

Bill Nighy (again). Kentish Town. Standing by a dustbin separating the Family, Travel, Money sections from his Sunday papers before binning them like the rest of us do.

― Tom D., Monday, 11 June 2007 10:27 (nineteen years ago)

Dane Bowers at Casablanca's in Brighton. Drinking £1 tequila shots and being fawned over by plastic blondes. Cock.

Interestingly (or not) a friend of mine once saw another of Jordan's hole-fillers Dwight Yorke being refused entry to the same place. Gareth Gates for the set.

― Uptoeleven, Monday, 11 June 2007 10:38 (nineteen years ago)

that's not nice

― RJG, Monday, 11 June 2007 10:41 (nineteen years ago)

Jeremy Vine + family on Drury Lane, Sunday morning, carrying lots of newspapers.
