Why is there no ILX celebrity sighting thread?

Mark Kermode, in my local. (100 miles from where I thought he'd be)

Yesterday I saw Jessie L Martin shooting an episode of Law and Order. The funnest part was walking right past the director while he was doing that directing thing with his hands.

Ashley Olsen, West Hollywood Target last Saturday.

oooo...nice!

I lie - it was Mary Kate.

a less valuable sighting?

nice too! xpost

ashley is famous - marykate is infamous

so which one's vagina have i seen?

I just bumped into Momus in the streets of Brussels

Lou Reed at Black Watch

Xtian nutjob Sally Phillips in both Soho AND Richmond!

on Friday night outside the Park Lane Hilton (veeeeery long story) - Clarkson and Hammond from Top Gear(unsurprisingly they're a bit twuntish, and Hammond is truly a dwarf) and Barry Hearne in a tuxedo

donald sutherland ventura blvd in a badass bentley

andy zax standing in front of me on line at the spiritualized show last night

Last week:

Terry Pratchett at Acid Mothers Temple.

did i say this? greil marcus in Malaprops

Get Bent, you should post on ILM to discuss that Spiritualized show. New tracks?

do opera singers count as celebrities? i saw dmitri hvorostovsky yesterday and damn, that man is gorgeous.

oh man, i just saw m1a sara at the local supermarket with her daughter. she's still so beautiful.

walked by maya rudolph on houston st. a few nights ago

jason lee in an irish pub, didn't see him drinking but he looked blazed.

Quentin Tarantino at MoMA taking in the Joan Blondell vehicle Blondie Johnson (1933) and jabbering amiably with the Cinemaniac with the high-pitched giggle.

Saw Chl0e Sevigny on the streets of St Marx the other day. I know, a Chl0e sighting in New York is like a yellow M&M sighting in a bag of M&Ms, but at first I thought I recognized her from college, then I was all, 'oh shit, it's totally Chl0e Sevingy' and looked away before she thought I was gonna be all starfucker

Ke||y 0sborne ate at the restaurant where I work in Chicago. She and 5 friends sat in the private dining r0om. They were all very nice and polite.

J3ss3 J@ckson comes into our restaurant frequently. Also, Sc0tty "No Tippin'" P|pp|n.

Hahahaaa

Why did I googleproof "r0om"?

Beetlejuice (from Howard Stern shows past) walked into my post office yesterday.

oh man, i just saw m1a sara at the local supermarket with her daughter. she's still so beautiful.

Out doing his Christmas shopping this morning.

Lamest celebrity sighting ever, but last night I saw that big curly haired Christian guy with glasses that was on American Idol (kinda looks like how Jack Osborne used to look)at a Carrabba's restaurant here in Greenville (he's from here, or was from here, or something like that iirc).

Sat across the aisle from M1nni3 Driv3r on the train between Bath and London yesterday.

She has a quite sweet 2 year old son and reads The Independent.

recently, John Turturro w/ his son (in Knicks jacket -- brave boy) on sidewalk in front of Brooklyn central library; Gene Shalit looking like a recently deinstitutionalized circus clown in the Strand bookstore.

They were all out last night:

Charles Clarke
Derrin Brown
Nick Moran
Sandy Toksvig
Amanda Platell
That woman from Holby City who was also in Extras
Dude from Coupling
Possibly Minty from Eastenders but probably just a fat bloke.

(All at Speed-The-Plow at the Old Vic)

Gok Wan at Southwark Station.

This bong that looked like Yoda, yeah?

Some motherfucking snakes on a motherfucking plane

Dan out of Big Brother whatever. Every day.

ugh fuckin' rush limbaugh was in this restaurant we went to a couple weeks ago, at a corner table lurking behind a small forest of water and wine bottles. i was restrained from approaching him and saying: "McCain in 08 LOL you drug-addled fat fuck"

Jarvis Cocker in a caff in Soho.

philip roth upper west side ny

giovanni ribisi at my restaurant a couple of weeks ago. dude is lactose intolerant and has a super annoying nasally voice.

Slip him an ice blended Mocha frappe, and he'll be sounding like Brian Blessed in no time!

i ambled into madison square park today and saw a bunch of people. i thought they were excited to go to shake. then i noticed there was a photo shoot, but wondered why so many random people were huddled around it taking pictures. then i saw it, the WHITE HAIR! karl lagerfeld!

Lou Reed at Whitney Biennial. Looked old.

Ivanka Trump - jogged past me. Pretty (and tall).

David Byrne on bicycle.

Julian Schnabel and (totally beautiful) wife taking evening stroll.

Had a extended chat with Lee Hurst (does he still count as a celebrity) at the FymFyg last week. Somewhat hammered so fairly fuzzy recollection of what we were talking about. He did inform me, however, that Ally McCoist was originally first choice for Think It's All Over, ahead of Gary Lineker, but Question of Sport poached him.

Rodney Slater (Google him - he's my idea of a celebrity) just along from Trafalgar Sq.

Dan Cruickshank (BBC2 antiquities n travel presenter) on a tube.

Last Saturday, in the King's Road, Dr David Starkey trying to get past me on the pavement like the remaining 98% of available pavement was built on quicksand or something. When I pointed out the latter he hissed in my ear "YOU. ARE. A. CUNT!" and went on his merry way.
