I had just left my office when I ran into Billy Crystal. Actually, I should say it was more he ran into me. He smiled at me from half a block away and started to walk towards me as in recognition; he got within two feet and started to lunge in the half hug of casual friendship. I shirked him off with the glare of "I know who you are and I can assure you that you do not know me". To this he replied with the "Oh, yes, I am sorry I was mistaken" eyebrow lift/open mouth look of surprise/apology. He was wearing an oddly hued blue t-shirt and those half gray/half black looking jeans that aging rock stars favor, also, he looked to have had some "work" around the eye area.

Walking home on Columbus Avenue last night (7/11) around 8:30 saw a super-crazy dressed Cybil Shepard come out of the Haagen-Dazs around 68th street. She was working on a cone and was wearing a sarong patterned with no less than ROY G BIV and an equally mismatched top (plaid?). Her short curly blonde hair matched that of the gaggle of kids she joined outside on the sidewalk, already slurping sundaes and shakes.

While walking home on Saturday night 7/9 at 3:00 am, incredibly annoyed at the world, I saw midget Christina Aguilera, with her almost equally midget fianc e Jordan along with a few other couples on Central Park South past 5th avenue. She actually looked very nice — platinum hair, nice makeup, incredibly petite. Her and Jordan look like they'll produce offspring the size of Prince. I wanted to ask her to tell me I was beautiful no matter what they say, but my failed attempts to snap a shot of her with my camera phone just left her and her midget glaring.

I passed a very long-haired Mary Louise Parker just above the Washington Square arch on Wednesday morning. She was dressed casually in baggy cutoff jean shorts and a red t-shirt layered over a lighter colored shirt, and had that somewhat spaced out open-mouthed expression that she often exhibits on West Wing. She was pushing her baby (with hottie deadbeat dad Billy Crudup) in a stroller and was accompanied by a nanny type. Later, at the Friends of the High Line benefit at 55 Wall Street I spotted Ed Norton and Diane von Furstenberg.

Sunday, 7/10 I was walking with a friend and her dog down 13th street between 5th and 6th and who walks right past us but Meryl Streep, clad in shades and a white pants suit (it was dark outside- she caught my attention only because of the fact that she was wearing sunglasses) with who i can only assume were her husband and daughter. they laughed when the dog went up to her and sniffed her crotch.

The horrendous, never ending construction at 13th and 6th Ave didn't deter Jon Stewart this morning (Jul 14). He was pulling out of his parking garage in a big, black SUV, apparently getting an early start on the 6 hour trip to Amagansett. His hair was very grey and he looked a bit smug. His wife was in the passenger seat.

7/11/05- Saw Beyonce & Jay-Z on 7th b/t 56th and 57th around 8:00 p.m.- she looked gorgeous in a relatively simple long skirt, hair down, little make-up; he looked smaller than expected and dressed down in a simple t-shirt- very little fanfare, very unassuming- then they hopped into a phat-ass blue Bentley!

I saw Richard Gere getting out of a black car with a classy blond gal and swiftly entered a restaurant in the west village. He had really white hair and unruly eyebrows.

Tuesday, July 12, at 5:50pm on the M1 bus down Fifth Avenue - Cynthia Nixon got on at 62nd St. She had the most ridiculously high wedge sandals on, a kind of drab blue flowered dress and green jacket, carrying a bag that looked very east village. She went all the way to the back of the bus. Maybe one other person recognized her. She got off at 46th & Fifth. She walked west on 46th.

Josh Hartnett came into the store I work at today, (jul 13) on Crosby and Prince. He is a beautiful specimen up close, and I did manage to get as close as possible, its a jewelry store, we are allowed to touch. He was interested in getting some gold pieces for his girlfriend, who is??? He said she only wears gold... he left after a while and then came back, cause he missed me obviously. We didn't have the piece he wanted in stock so I was forced to give him my number and he said he would call in a few days, I make lots of sacrifices for my job.

Just walked by Zach Braff on Park Ave., around 36th street and wow, is he adorable. Perfectly mussed "i only use Bumble and Bumble products" hair. He was walking a small dog and looked a little dazed from the heat. Also, it looked like he had spilled some sort of sauce all over the front of his shirt (BBQ, maybe?). Didn't matter - I was still floored by the cuteness.

Saw Adrian Grenier outside of the Union Square movie theaters on Friday night with...his entourage. Not, like, THE Entourage, but still the whole thing brought on this baffling and surreal feeling of having been sucked into an HBO series. Is that Vince? Where's Turtle? Extremely unsettling.

thursday: a pale and pensive Andrew McCarthy was on the treadmill next to me at Equinox on Greenwich. He was ignoring the VH1 program about teen actors... We changed next to each other in the locker room and his body is a lot more dope than you'd imagine....

the very next night at the same homo-infested gym, Robert Downey Jr. made a late-night cameo. it s sad that I was at the gym at 930pm on a friday night, but thats not the point. He sang his little heart out while getting dressed and his assistant (?) just sat there, getting paid. Bobby looked a little tired, but was friendly enough to smile at me while I blew my nose.

Just saw Aida Turturro outside my office on 19th St. She was walking with a chatty girlfriend and they were both sweaty and dressed in shorts and tank tops, as if they'd been jogging, but upon further analysis they most likely were not. Aida looked exactly like Janice, only makeup-free, and a bit... nicer? Less insane?

Spotted Jeremy Piven at Bette over on West 23rd. He introduced himself to some extraordinarily hot blonde girls at a table adjacent to him. We were close enough to hear his opener, "Hi, my name is Jeremy". Full of confidence. Stayed at the table for a while, standing while 4 of them were sitting. Left with a small entourage of his own (4 very pretty women) but without the blonde whom he donated his line to. He wore jeans and had a bunch of arm band bracelet thingies.

Saw drummer Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees, strolling around in a white suit and wide-brimmed Panama hat at a movie after party last night, grinning at everybody, looking like an old Irish cop at this point but being followed by a loyal bevy of twentysomething hotties in flowing, flowery skirts attending his every move.

Saturday (7/10) saw Christopher McDonald (Requiem for a Dream) on the corner of 54th & Eighth Ave. walking away from Central Park/Columbus Circle area with a teenage boy (his son?); like many before me, I'm sure, I resisted the urge to scream, "God dammit, Thelma!" He's quite handsome when he's not playing a villain or greasy, wife-beating redneck or both.

Walking down 19th street on Monday, heard a bunch of Apex (Technical Institute) guys go "Oh shit, is that Steve Nash?! Oh shit!" Being the pansy that I am, I had no idea who they were talking about. Thanks to Google, it turns out he's a basketball player for the Suns. And now you tell me that he's playing ball on the River...

Saw Donald Trump and Melania June 30, at Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway. They arrived 5 seconds before the curtain came up and took seats in the center of the floor. They mingled about at the back of the theatre during intermission not trying to look inconspicuous. Nobody approached the two, but many were seen gawking; his hair looks larger in person and his wife is actually prettier too.

Spotted director Jim Jarmusch crossing Prince St just off Broadway yesterday afternoon (jul 11). In spiked up white hair and shades, he looked every bit as cool as he probably is. Actually, it would probably be impossible to look that cool. I looked around to share the moment, but all the lame tourists were clueless.

Saw Amy Poehler and her husband, Will Arnett, (and another couple) at Tuesday night's performance of Glengarry Glen Ross. She is very petite and cute, and her hubby is extremely good looking! It was obvious they weren't interested in being noticed, but people definitely recognized them.

sophie dahl on 13th street with brown-haired friend looking lanky and amazing with a pink shirt and a small tush.

I had a SHVITS with PAULEY SHORE! I was at the Russian Bath House in the East Village with my boyfriend (and no I'm not gay or even Jewish) this past Sunday the 10th and sitting next to us in the Sauna is none other than "The Weasle" at his finest- man-tanned and sweating like a pig- fabulous!

In this edition: Joan Rivers, Liza Minelli, Anna Wintour, Mick Jagger, Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Charlie Rose, Claire Danes and Billy Crudup, Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley, Neil Young, Donna Karan, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Cate Blanchett, Usher, Zach Braff, Jessica Biel and Chris Evans, Kevin Connelly, Ally Sheedy, Willem Dafoe, Mike Myers, Lisa Ling, Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham, Cherry jones, Moby, Ryan Adams, Sharon Angela, Mo Rocca, Q-Tip, Sam Shepard, David Blaine, Michael Eisner and Karolina Kurkova.

This made Jury Duty completely worth every boring minute of it. We were sitting watching the introductory video (Mon Jul 11), when who walks in (20+ minutes late) but Joan Rivers! She stood in the front of the room with her assistant so everyone could have a good look at her wicked tight face and hair that wouldn t move in a hurricane. She finally took a seat and started browsing the Times Sunday Style Section with a red pen in her hand. Lucky for her she was called in the first group to be questioned..."Joan Rosenberg." Who knew??

Belated reporting. Saw Liza Minelli at Bloomingdales, July 4th. She wore 80's workout gear (hot pink shirt, spandex, keds) and was with a maid, in uniform. She didn't hit anyone.

As I was waiting for my aunt outside customs today (fri jul 8) at Newark airport, I was taken aback to see a woman resembling Anna Wintour pushing her own cart full of luggage! Never would I have thought a woman with Anna's demeanor to be stuck pushing her own luggage cart. As the woman got closer, I saw that it was indeed The Devil, I mean, Anna, wearing skinny light blue jeans, a CHANEL tweed jacket with metallic threading and her dark CHANEL sunglasses. I could have sworn I saw her in the same outfit last year in Times Square with her demon spawns, I mean, children.

7/6 — As I pushed past an old, fat tourist with a fanny pack on 57th and Fifth, my angered eyes came into focus and I saw the one, the only, Mick Jagger. He looks as expected, hot, small shouldered and leather faced, but less so than Iggy pop. My anglophile vagina cooed at his lips..

Leonardo DiCaprio was riding his bike on Hudson Street early Sunday evening (JUL 10). He's got that "I'm a nerd, yet somehow hot" look attempting to cover up in a baseball hat and shades. Man-Boy Leo needs to borrow some tanner for the glowing white legs.

At the New Victory Theatre last night (7/10) for a performance of "Rain," I sat across the aisle from Nicole Kidman. She came in at the last minute, and had two assistants sit on either side of her. She wasn't fooling anyone, though; everybody still stared. She's luminous, if a little thin. I loved the show so much I came back for today's final performance and snagged a cancellation ticket. Turns out the woman who escaped Tom loved it as well; she was back, and this time she brought Naomi Watts, who was, unfortunately, not throwing one of the tantrums witnessed by other stalkers.

Saw Sarah Jessica Parker going into Rite Aid at Hudson & Charles in the West Village around 3:30 today (JUL 11), dressed in a black tank top & tight jeans & shades. She came out minutes later and walked south on Hudson, only to abruptly do a 180 and head north. Then minutes later, saw Charlie Rose driving a Mini Cooper, top down, with a young babe next to him, stopped at a light at Hudson & Bank, passersby stopping to shout "Oh my God! Charlie Rose"!!!

i saw Claire Danes and Billy Crudup lunching @ NY Burger co today (friday). Despite sitting right up front in the window, they were mostly unnoticed by the passers-by (who were probably focused on trying to stay dry) and the other diners. they looked a little rumpled, like the rest of us in this gloomy weather, and i probably wouldn't have noticed them if i hadn't looked up from my fries just as Clare was walking toward me so i could see her face. they seemed happy, talking and laughing quietly together, just like us regular folks.

saw Kate Winslet jogging around the reservoir yesterday (thur jul 7) wearing a long sleeved brown shirt. Said "excuse me" to pass in a Brit accent.

sunday night (7/10), i spotted Rachel Weisz in line at the whole foods in union square. this was from a distance so all i could see was that she was not wearing makeup so her skin did not look as flawless as it usually does. she was wearing a peasant blouse with a v-shaped back in a flowery print. she looked rather serious and got her groceries prepared for delivery. i am appalled that she would readily give out her address but i guess this also says that she's not very presumptuous about being recognized.

On Sunday around 8:30 or so on Houston at Thompson I saw Keira Knightley strolling with an aging, white-haired hippie. Keira was in one of those 1982 style dinner party dresses that are so popular right now, and green ballet slipper shoes. Very short hair, normal height, and not as Olsen teensy skinny as you might expect. Aside for the dress she was quite cute and normal. The aging hippie, however, I can't vouch for.

We sat down to lunch upstairs at Mercer Kitchen on Saturday 7/9 and were seated 1 table away from Keira Knightley and a woman (I'm assuming her mom or manager). Had to tell my boyfriend not to stare. She was very casual - floral off the shoulder dress and awesome boots - and quite pretty. She was having tea and seemed rather bored. She and the woman paid and walked into the lobby of the Mercer Hotel. I motioned to my boyfriend that the rockerish looking older man sitting across the way looked like Neil Young. He turned to quickly check him out and told me that it was, in fact, Neil Young. Good sightings for both of us.

@ Bar Pitti tonight (7/7; 8:45 PM) Seated next to us was Donna Karan and her swarthy boy toy (she was looking a bit frumpy in a shapeless black schmatte, which crept up her legs long enough to offer a glimpse at her knobby knees, both of which carried huge vertical scars from operations gone by). Then, mid-meal, we spotted Phillip Seymour Hoffman loitering at the curb, apparently waiting for his dining companions. The schlubby PSH sported a blue windbreaker (Members Only?) and horrendous plaid shorts which showcased his albino gams. Normally not worth a second look except it turned out he was rendezvousing with Cate Blanchett and her screenwriter husband. Cate arrived limping slightly and wore a cast on her right foot. A bit gimpy, yes, but she is one v. hot little sylph.

Saw Usher this past Saturday in the new adidas store on Houston and broadway on the 2^nd floor. He was with a huge bodyguard which made him look even smaller than he really is. He's only about 5'7" and I heard him ham it up with the people that work there saying "yeah, I'm looking for something to work out in." ok, so you're in the adidas store where all they sell are sneakers, sweatpants, and track suits and you can't find something to workout in....

Saw Zach Braff on Houston Sat 7/9. He was with a guy and carrying a steven alan shopping bag. Who knew he had such fashion sense. Looks exactly like a guy that could be your next door neighbor.

friday july 8th, spotted jessica biel and chris evans kissing at the chelsea piers batting cages...and yes they did swing the bat a couple of times.

7/2- Saw Kevin Connelly - how short is he anyway?? but he's so adorable- and pretty much the entire cast of Oz at Star Room in the hamptons.

Sat next to Ally Sheedy, her beau and a lady friend at the Rodeo Bar on Saturday night, enjoying shrimp fajitas. She seemed quite content with her anonymity, given that the average patron that night was probably born well after St. Elmo's Fire. I still have the biggest crush on her—she looked great (always my favorite brat-packer).

On Sunday around 3:30 at the guggenheim I saw Willem Dafoe, who is really quite short in person, maybe 5'6. He was moseying around the lower levels of the Mapplethorpe exhibit with a few random, bohemian-looking friends. He's just as craggy-faced as you'd expect in person, but slightly more leprechaunish. This quality may be caused by his green longsleeved tshirt and green blue 1994 jeans...

So I just saw Mike Myers, I had ordered my pizza at Rays on Mulberry and Mott and there was a cute poodle TIED UP (who DOES that?!?! it's like tying up your kid!) and I ran back out to play with it and it wasn't there so I stopped in my tracks b/c of that and a second later Mike Myers walks by and stops his conversation as if I had ran out to see him. Not so. But it was my first dead-on sighting 'round here in a while.

Was in Jamba Juice in Midtown on Saturday, 7/9, and turned around to see Lisa Ling. She was much prettier in person; was by herself. It looked like she had just came from the gym .

Last night (sun jul 10) at Nobu, Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham came in around 6PM with baby and older woman. Not sure if it was a nanny or relative. They seemed to know the staff as everyone was holding the baby, etc. Marky Mark had a cell phone ear piece in the entire meal. He is diminutive and had a dark brown bowl cut of sorts. When they left he carried the baby out and waved her hand for her at various patrons.

Cherry Jones @ Nobu sunday didn t know who she was but a dinner companion pointed her out. She was in Doubt and in Signs.

Saw Moby on Second Ave around 5th Street on Sunday 7.10; he was incognito, wearing baseball hat. (Good disguise — I don't think Moby would ever play baseball — competitiveness is bad for your karma. Besides, the ball would knock his skinnyass down.) When he passed by Mary Ann's restaurant, someone sitting outside screamed, "Hey Moby, wanna have a burrito with us? It's vegetarian!" He kindly turned them down, saying he had to "meet some friends" (likely excuse), and then went to Bank of America, probably to deposit some fat checks from Teany sales.

6/28, right outside my bldg in Union Square, Ryan Adams on a cell phone. Tight bell-bottom jeans, flannel shirt, deliciously dirty (read: matted and tangled) hair, sunglasses even though it's about 11 pm. He was surprisingly little (and I'm good at guessing little since I rock the sub-5 foot club), but I still wanted to bear his child anyway. Yeah I know Pitchfork said he was stuck in Europe, but that ain't right...

Yesterday (Thursday]I met Sharon Angela (aka Rosalie Aprile from the Sopranos) on Bleecker and Broadway. She was much prettier in person than on the show, not dressed gawdy like her character at all.. looked great, in jeans and a tee. I told her that she is my favorite character on the show, and even got to quote my favorite line of hers to her: "Fucking nosey?!? Eat your manicott!". We chatted for a minute or two, and she was very gracious and appreciative of my compliments.. seems like she'd be cool to hang out with.

saw mo rocca at the new york reptile expo in white plains shooting something for animal planet. he was doing something that looked like the axl rose dance with a bunch of kids on camera. i always thought he was taller.

Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest, in the elevator going up to Sirius radio in the McGraw-Hill building. Wearing a black tshirt with Run-DMC album covers on it. Giant plastic eyeglass frames with the demo lenses still in them. Attempting to talk on his cellphone in the elevator.

Saw playwright Sam Shepard. B'way between 11th & 12th Streets. Wearing blue-jeans, some kind of leather vest business and a green T. He looked healthy for his age but had kind of a goofy smirk on his face. Honestly I thought he was some kind of out-of-town redneck or biker at first.

Walked by David Blaine on Mercer this past Saturday 7/9. He was with a group of 4 guys...so very "entourage". Heard him saying "she's really cute and she's really sweet" he talks really really loud. Then I saw Anthony LaPaglia drinkin coffee, smokin a cig on that bench in front of Mercer Hotel. Kinda chubby in that Alec Baldwin type way, with grey hair.

I was walking up Ninth Avenue on Sunday (7/10) evening and bumped into Michael Eisner, ex-Disney CEO, exiting Soho House. I guess now that he's retired he didn't make the cut for the Allen & Company mogulfest in Sun Valley.

Saw Karolina Kurkova crossing the street at Hudson and Orchard on Sunday afternoon. Gorgeous. Looked very slim (in a healthy way, rather than the usual coked out way young models tend to favor), nice tan, and she managed to look fresh and dewy rather than tired and sweaty, like the rest of us.

On the Delta Shuttle to Boston on Friday, I sat next to a rather tan and surprisingly wrinkled Katie Couric. she and I shuffled to the exit row for the extra leg room. While I doubt she was prepared to help in the event of an emergency, she certainly was prepared for something else judging by the high-cut thong that popped out of her low-cut jeans as she leaned over to grab her $12,000 Birkin. Friends confirmed that she announced that her daughters are at camp, thus the thong-happy getaway to the Vineyard, no doubt. Nothing but the Birkin and a Tennis racket on her shoulder as she met the limo driver at Logan.

Had dinner with friends last night at Da Silvano and in walked a herd of Versaces headed by the grand dame Donatella herself. Her frighteningly skinny daughter Allegra was there also. The men ate the women picked.

Last night I went to the dress rehearsal of Lennon: Afterwards while waiting for my crew I saw Tracy Ullman coming out of the show with some friends. Later as we prowled for a good bar we saw Matthew Broderick walking east on 44th Street and 8th Avenue, looking a little schleppy.

Celeb sightings at "spamalot" this evening (Jul 5). Joe Torre, sitting on the aisle. and Christian Slater, late of "glass menagerie" smoking two cigarettes in a row by himself during intermission and confessing to the woman seated behind me that he is going to do "sweet bird of youth" in london. slater as chance wayne? yikes.

While waiting to board a NY to LA flight at JFK I figured I'd see a few noteworthy people. First I saw Judith Light (a.k.a. "ANgeLUH" from "Who's the Boss?") boarding early. I thought that was as good as it would get (and I was satisfied), but lo and behold Jake Gyllenhaal sat down and read the Times (with sunglasses on) and waited for everyone to board. The ladies in the general vicinity were all atwitter, as he was scruffy and quite a dish in person. I assumed he'd be in first class, but he was in business. But who WAS in first class? Tim Roth, looking really greasy yet really foxy. I can't even remember the last movie he was in, but he must be doing better than I thought.

Spent July 4th watching the fireworks from my rooftop in Cobble Hill. On the next rooftop - in a beautiful garden w/ humongous fancy grill - was a small party of people including none other than Peter Bogdonavich. My two drunken/high male friends attempted to goad one another into flashing him - thankfully to no avail.

On good, old July 4th, saw Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber jogging north on the path along the Hudson River, down in the Tribeca area. Later that night, at the Korean restaurant Temple on Saint Marks, Heather Graham came in with two dudes. Apparently, she's been there before. And according to my sources, she ordered some tofu dish. Is Heather Graham a vegetarian?

Tues 7/5, saw Kieran Culkin and Anna Paquin around 1:30 pm walking down W. 86th street. They were short and shaggy haired, and chatting happily. aw.

Saw Julianne Moore at The Palm in East Hampton on the 4th. Her bright red hair is gorgeous in person. Hardly wore any makeup, shorter than I expected. Looked great in a yellow flower print dress.

Saturday, 7 AM, right near entrance to Penn Station (I was on my way out of town for the 4th). Spotted Natalie Portman with unidentified cute NJB (nice Jewish boy) coming out of Madison Square Garden entrance. I don't think it was her boyf. Knew it was her because of cute fuzzy head that I badly wanted to pet. Have no idea what she was doing there at that hour. She was in her usual casual getup, jeans and t shirt. She's the only celeb that I have legitimate reason to talk to (she went to my school for a year) but we were about to miss the train.

Saw a scruffy Keanu Reeves sitting outside at Tortilla Flats (12th & Washington) on 7/4 with some blonde lady friend. He stood up and picked something off the bottom of his shoe then sat back down and kept eating. Delicious. Ps. he was wearing long pants and like a corduroy blazer

friday night (7/1) at The Pillowman: Cate Blanchett (with her leg in a big ol' cast!) and Alicia Silverstone, each with beau. Poor Cate kept having to stand to let people into her row, and then couldn't make a quick after the show since she was hobbling out on crutches... but somehow she was beautiful and graceful nonetheless - amazing.

Just saw Heather Matarazzo today (7/6) on Centre Street walking towards Canal Street wearing jeans and an tank top, and smoking a cig. Looked a LOT prettier in person and not at all dumpy as I thought she'd look. Was really tempted to bust out singing "welcome to the dollhouse...I've got it all fixed up for you!", but restrained myself.

I saw Rosario Dawson walking through NYU traffic under scaffolding around the construction at Astor Place. She sported a little cleavage and checked me out for a sec. Mr. Big must be little.

I just walked out the front door of our offices at 360 Park Avenue South (Jul 5) and saw James Gandolfini sitting on a motorcycle and talking on a cell phone. He looked just like he does in the show. Like a Mafioso. Initially I thought I had wandered into a shooting for the show, but didn't see any cameras or the rest of the gang. It was about 1:35 pm. I shook his hand and told him that I enjoy the show. He thanked me, put on his helmet and drove away.

saw Mike Myers in the beer line at the Central Park Summer Stage Nick Drake tribute show (7ish) 07/02/05...he was smiling and seemed to be having a good time despite the mellow band.

Just spotted Steven Van Zandt cruising along 13th St. in a very sweet grey Jaguar convertible. The purple headscarf was a dead giveaway...oh, and the Jersey plates, too.

On July 4 I passed Victor Garber walking up Bleecker Street with a much younger, tan muscle boy. Victor was dressed for the country club; the stud was dressed for the beach.

Walking out of Tompkins Sq. Park Saturday afternoon I saw Mos Def he was sporting some pretty sleazy pimp sunglasses bopping along with some chick. Caught him uttering, that s just unnatural, and I m guessing he s under six feet.

Saw Tom Brokaw crossing the street at Madison and 50's-ish on Thursday afternoon. This would be no big deal except I happened to catch him on David Letterman the evening before — in the same exact outfit he was wearing the next afternnon. I don't think Tom's doing anything strange, but c'mon. He can definitely afford some other togs to wear

I was having dinner with a friend in Nolita, and we were seated next to Ali Landry and her new latin boyfriend (Didn't have Mario's curly hair, though). Ali was extremely nice to fellow patrons. When I mentioned to my friend that I needed some salt, Ali overheard and offered her own—and pepper as well. She was sitting in indian-style on the chair, and seemed happy to go unnoticed.

spotted Jerry Springer on the fourth of july at brooklyn ice cream factory. i tried coming up with an appropriate "hey, my boyfriend cheated on me with my mom, and now she dresses like a slut" opening line, but didn't want to ruin what looked like a nice family ice cream outing.

i drank budweiser in cans next to malcolm gladwell and his giant whiteguy afro hair statement at an east village rooftop party on July 4th — fortunately he showed up an hour after the fireworks had ended so no one's view was obscured.

Saw Tyson Beckford at Sushi Samba Saturday night (July 2nd). He was with an entourage of about 10, including one huge dude sitting next to him. Him and his posse were incredibly underdressed for the what-has-become-stricter dress code on the roof at Sushi Samba. When he left, Beckford revved the engine on his motorbike to annoying decibals. No word if it was the same crotch rocket he rode with Britney in her "Toxic" video.

I saw Richie Akiva, co-owner of Butter, getting denied at door of the lounge, 49 Grove, in the West Village Jul 5. The bouncer said you re not allowed here anymore . He was with a tall skinny girl, and they were waiting outside the door in a rain storm until someone else came outside to talk to them.

In this edition: George Clooney, Chevy Chase, Danny Glover, Bruce Willis, Penelope Cruz, Susan Sarandon, Heath Ledger with both Mystery Woman and Michelle Williams, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Rock, Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn, Sam Rockwell, Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly, Jeremy Piven, Jimmy Fallon, Jamie Lynn Di Scala, Tea Leoni and David Duchovny, Julianne Moore, John Lithgow, Mira Sorvina and Chris Backus and offspring, Kyle MacLachlan, Barry Diller, Sarah Vowell, Larry King, Lizzie Grubman and Todd Meister, Gilbert Gottfried, Damon Dash, Dee Snider, Karolina Kurkova and Janice Dickenson.

Wednesday June 29, lunch at Mr. K's on 51st/Lex - spotted George Clooney and entourage of 10 or so having lunch. Clooney was resplendent in a white t-shirt, very casual, very unassuming. He looks great, much younger in person. Couldn't quite tell what the occasion was, but one of his lunch companions was agitated about something he lost and spent much of the meal under the table - when he wasn't frantically gesturing to the waiters. I hope George enjoyed his lunch despite the under-the-table goings on.

I was getting my hair cut at Vidal Sassoon in the Crown Building. They sit me down to get my hair shampooed - and 5 feet across from me was Chevy Chase. He is certainly looking much older, his hair is thinning and more salt than pepper. He was wearing a polo shirt, pants and white sneakers. He was channeling the "Florida Retiree" look. I normally I don't bother actors (/yeah/, /I said "ACTOR", don't be a hater/), but I decided to say hello and casually said, "What's up, *Chevy*?" He turned in the direction of my voice and his eyes were really wide, like he was scared. He had this surprised look on his face and said, "Who's that?" There is no chance he could miss me - I was 5 feet from him! But just before he was going to get his hair shampooed, he took his glasses off, I guess his vision must be really fading and he simply couldn't see me! I replied, "No one, just a fan." He said, "Oh. Ok." paused and quietly mumbled as an afterthought to my "fan" comment, "thanks". I left him alone - I was just being friendly. He was amiable & talkative to the employees at the salon, but he wasn't being loud - just acted like a regular customer and minded his P's and Q's. Most people write to stalker "Boy, are they short!" when they see a celeb - *Chevy* is as tall as I expected.

So I was walking to work today (6/29) down Lafayette, crossing 9th, when I notice this big black dude wearing a blue Hawaiian-print shirt and carrying a briefcase. I think to myself, "hey— Danny Glover!" which, as I walked up to him, expressed itself verbally as "Hey! Danny Glover!" His eyes looked wary but his response was an enthusiastic "Hey man, how you doin'. Alright, alright now." With a handshake and a "Have a good day" I went into my building. I guess they must be shooting a movie today. Anyway, if its a slow news day, you heard it here— Danny Glover's not an asshole.

Fri Jul 1, Bruce Willis, dressed in a tuxedo, is currently running up and down Centre Street (made up rather poorly to look like Canal), shooting at imaginary bad guys with his toy pistol.

@ Eres on Madison, bra shopping w/ girlfriend. Who walks in? Penelope Cruz and spanish speaking friend and/or assistant. Didn't buy anything but looked at everything amidst the racks. Looked pretty hot w/ a white sundress on and has some tattoo on her right ankle, "888" it looked like?

6/30 Walked past Susan Sarandon striding up 6th Avenue near 17th Street. She looked great—tan, fit, relaxed, age appropriate, yet radiant. Her daughter Ava was with her walking a few steps behind talking on her cell phone. They both seemed oblivious to the fact that people were stopping in their tracks upon recognizing them.

June 28 - I spotted Heath Ledger strolling hand in hand with a mystery woman in Chelsea. The woman he was with was much prettier than the plain, overly round Michelle Williams. It seems he has traded up, good for him! Heath looked good to. He was clean shaven and looked like he took the time to wash his hair. Heath and his new girl go well together.

7/2/2005 - saw Heath Ledger in line for the bathroom during the intermission of Hurly Burly. Long striped shirt, messenger bag, hat,
carrying his blazer. minutes later Michelle Williams appeared in line behind me, obviously very very pregnant with his baby. They were sitting in the 6th or 7th row of the orchestra section.

jun 28, Jumping on the uptown 1 at the Canal Street station I almost ran right into Cynthia Nixon. It s good to know that celebrities melt in the heat as well. Her hair looked red and sweaty, and she looked as miserable as the rest of us. She was gabbing with an unidentified male who seemed to notice the stares more than she did.

Saw Chris Rock with his stylish, attractive wife and two young daughters at the Victorian Gardens (aka Wollman Ice Rink in the summer) in Central Park on June 2nd. He rode on the airplane ride with his family, but waited for them on the sidelines at the train ride where he was ambushed by a couple fans wanting pictures. He was very gracious and let them take their pictures. He was wearing a blue Four Seasons t-shirt, baseball cap and sunglasses, but his face and voice were unmistakable.

jerry o'connell with rebecca romijn stamos, looking tanned and glowing, at the montauket in montauk on saturday of july 4th weekend(apparently his family lives out there - this i learned from the bachelor with his brother). they glowed in the sunset, drinking buds and talking to locals, looking very much in love. she was drinking and was definitely not pregnant, though also not as toned as you would think she would be yet stunning.

7/2 Saw Sam Rockwell and two hipster friends walking through Tompkins Square this evening. The friends were wearing shades and throwing attitude, but Sam looked like an adorable, regular guy in some loose, lightweight gray pants that made his butt look big. So cute.

saw Rachel Weisz dining in the village next door to "extra virgin" on Monday night (Jun 27). she was on crutches, and sporting a short do, but looking great! John C. Reilly also appeared in the door of the same restaurant, they said hello, and chatted for a minute, before she returned to her table, and he continued smoking his cigarette before popping into his limo with friends...

just saw Jeremy Piven sitting outside Cafe Gitane (jun 28), drinking an iced latte and talking on his cell. i was surprised that he looked cute, so i smiled at him and he smiled back, then stared at me while i ordered my coffee and i got a little creeped out. I also saw Mike Myers crossing broadway near housten the other night, he looked like he has just woken up, even though it was around 10pm. white shirt half buttoned and all rumpled, i smiled at him and he made eye contact and definitly didn't smile back, actually, i think he glared at me, whatever, at least jeremy thinks i'm hot.

Saw Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night in Hell's Kitchen. He looked tall, sweaty, and lost.

Saturday, June 25th - Josie's on the east side, having brunch w/ girlfriend. Jamie Lynn Di Scala and some chick were eating there too, I guess her friend. We sat outside, they were at the front on the inside - Jamie looking out, friend looking in. Couldn't make out the food because of glare.

I was standing outside Otto smoking on Wednesday 6/29 with a friend when we had a triple celebrity sighting. Out walked Julianne Moore (plus one husband and kids), Tea Leoni, and David Duchovny. They seemed very down to earth and no one bothered them. Julianne didn't even seem to mind that we were blowing smoke into her childrens' faces. Now, that's hot.

Thursday, June 30 - John Lithgow, first on west 63rd walking east.....next on west 64th walking west. Had a little beret thing and a black bag that looked like the "Man purse" from Seinfeld.

jun 28 Yesterday I saw Mira Sorvino with a baby stroller and a less good-looking version of Kevin Federline strolling through Central Park.

yesterday (7/29), my girlfriend and I were at Orso and as we were leaving we saw the actor that plays "Trey" (Kyle MacLachlan) from SATC at the table behind us with some chickadee.

Barry Diller himself was riding around on a bike Sunday checking out the Pride parade floats and marchers gathered on the side streets off Fifth Avenue in the low 50s. I was waiting near the HX float on W. 52nd St when I saw him, unmistakably, ride slowly by not once but twice, wearing flowered (!) shorts and a white T-shirt, looking on with amusement. How could he not when our float was populated by shirtless go-go boys and porn stars in short denim shorts and cowboy boots? He must have been thrilled...

Saw Sarah Vowell walking into the Associated Supermarket at 22nd and Park. She was looking characteristically uncomfortable, but still kinda cute.

This morning (jun 30)I was getting breakfast and saw Larry King walking down 60th st between 5th and Madison. He was taller and skinnier then I'd expect, but regardless my banana looked far more appetizing then his shriveled pickly self.

Sunday, 6/26, saw Lizzie Grubman at Mr. Chow (9ish or so) who was later was joined by the cat that met/married/divorced Nicky Hilton, Todd Meister. He was wearing a sky blue blazer and looked like he needed to shave and get on a treadmill. Lizzie was rocking a cool white suit. We went to 40/40 afterwards to see if our luck would continue but no Jigga. That's my dirty two cents...

saw Gilbert Gottfried on my way home 6/29 at 25th/7th Ave walking in the rain w/ a bright orange umbrella and his socks pulled up high. Had a pot belly like a toddler. Wonder where he was going?

Tonight at around 7 I turned the corner walking east from 5th ave. on 57th and walked past Damon Dash and bodyguard, vaguely near the YSL store there .Just standing there, really mellow and seemingly not pissed off about anything.

Today (6/29) I saw Dee Snider from Twisted Sister exiting Trash and Vaudeville, that lame "punk" rock store on St. Marks, with his wife. He then proceeded to go to the Starbucks on 8th, where I was sitting outside with my friends. He spent like...10 minutes in there and exited with goods in hand.

karolina kurkova was stalking me yesterday (june 30). first saw her as i was heading to the subway in the morning, on prince between elizabeth and mott. looked like she was heading to the gym, in tight pants and a tiny tank. i swear i could see two people between her legs. then later that night, she was having dinner at peasant, with what looked like herphotographer boyfriend (he was even wearing a little photog vest) and two out-of-town guests — as "it's near your hotel" was mentioned several times.

Last night (6/30) went to Janice Dickenson's b-day party at Quo just to see the train wreck. She looked good, wore a slinky white satin dress which she hiked up to dance on the sofas. Was hoping for a Jon Lovitz sighting, but all I got was Phillip Blotch. B-Listers, unite!

In this Best of June edition: Joan Rivers, Naomi Watts, Lindsay Lohan and Ashley Stewart, Natasha Lyonne, Mary-Kate Olsen, Liza Minelli, Natalie Portman, Donna Summer and Debbie Harry, Heath Ledger, Ben Affleck, Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel, Robert DeNiro, Chuck Barris and Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster

6/7 saw an old, made-up Joan Rivers dropping off her urine at our gynecologist office.

My friend and I were shopping in SoHo wed the 22nd and we heard from behind us a woman screaming profanitities. We turned around and it was Naomi Watts from The Ring movies having a screaming match on her cell phone. She looks cute but was obviously on the brink of a meltdown. I guess she realized she was creating a scene because she turned around quickly and disappeared around the block.

Yesterday (june 23rd) I was in one of those little bohemian boutiques that I can't really afford to buy anything in and in walks Naomi Watts looking a little spaced out. She was talking to the sales girl about having to buy clothes for a trip to an ashram. The sales girl was helping her (this is a very tiny store) and suddenly Watts just snapped and started yelling at her, saying that if she couldn't get what she wanted she would go someplace else. Then she grabbed the clothes that the girl was holding, threw them on the floor, and stormed out. The rest of us in the store just stood in disbelief.

i had such a deliciously cliched sighting last night 6/21 at bungalow 8. Lindsey Lohan and Ashley Stewart were on one couch feverishly typing on their sidekicks all night (no illegal substances in sight) while Mary Kate Olsen was backing that thang up in some killer cowboy boots in the neighboring booth.

i had a celebtastic Friday 6/24. on my way out of rite aid on 2nd ave in the e village, i passed Natasha Lyonne on her way in. she looks horrible, i must say. total skin and bones. but she s still got the raspy voice, which, coming out of her emaciated body, is quite disconcerting.

Thu, Jun 16th I saw Mary-Kate Olsen at the Ben and Jerry's downtown on 3rd Avenue. She was sitting in a booth alone across from a few of her friends. She was eating soft serve vanilla in a cone with rainbow sprinkles. She left once I started telling all my friends that she was there.

had an awesome sighting today....saw Liza Minelli on 3rd and 73rd buying one of those cheap leather cell phone cases off the street. She was with a friend, or maybe an assistant. Had full Liza makeup on, looked great. Someone came up to take a picture, and she was super nice. Didn't seem like she was about to physically abuse anyone. She's awesome.

On Sunday at about 5 I saw Natalie Portman on the 2nd floor of MoMA with a couple that appeared to be her very normal looking parents. She was very tiny and has a very pretty face, but she looked like a cult member with that awful buzz cut.

I saw Donna Summer and Deborah Harry having lunch at Michaels...on Friday, June17 - looked like they were having a lot of fun....

June 24 - I went to the Loews Cineplex on Third Ave. with my friends to see Cinderella Man. About 5 minutes into the movie Heath Ledger and some woman who was definately not Michelle came in to the theater and sat in front of us. They made out heavily for most of the movie. I guess Heath thinks a dark movie theater is a good place to cheat on his pregnant girlfriend. He should know by now that wearing that same green hat everywhere is not the best way to go incognito.

Saw Ben Affleck at Dos Caminos on West Broadway and Houston on Saturday (6/18) night. I was having dinner outside when Ben came out to smoke. The hostess came over and asked him to not smoke where people were eating. He was very polite and apologized and then walked through the crowd of diners and finished his cigarette in front of the restaurant. He was looking rather ragged (hadn't shaved in a few days) and portly (sympathy pounds?). Didn't see Jennifer, though she might have been dining with him inside the restaurant.

Probably my most amazing sighting ever last night (June 15). I was eating dinner with a friend in my fave neighborhood spot (In Tribeca), and we notice there's a guy sitting at the table across from us sort of listening to our conversation and watching us. I realize it's Al Pacino! I nearly fell of my chair. About ten minutes later, in walks Harvey Keitel with a woman — not sure if it was a wife or an assistant. My friend and I were reeling. Give it another ten minutes, and freaking Robert DeNiro walks in with his wife! Unbelievable — they really do all hang out and eat dinner together. They're all also short. Not one of the lot (of men) was over 5'8" (at best)! Nevertheless, extremely exciting!

Saw the one and only Chuck Barris at Mary's Fish Camp Friday June 3rd, he was celebrating his birthday with about 10 people, and sitting next to some young, dangerously thin, sunken-cheeked girl with too much makeup. He, however, was laughing and smiling the entire dinner and during and after the entire restaurant sung happy birthday to him, quite charismatic and looks exactly as he looked back in the Gong Show days but with gray hair.

On thurs june 23 i saw Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster filming the latest spike lee joint for hbo downtown on Beaver and Hanover.

In this edition: Natasha Lyonne, Jeff Goldblum, Meg Ryan, Rip Taylor, Elijah Wood, Yoko Ono, Spike Lee, Mickey Rourke, Heath Ledger, Hillary Swank and Chad Lowe, Sean Lennon, Freddie prinze Jr. and Michelle Gellar, Willem Dafoe, Fran Drescher, Juliette Lewis, Janeane Garofalo, Jimmy Fallon, Josh Hartnett, Ali G, Paul Rudd, Matt Dillon, Elizabeth Berkeley, Norah Jones, Corey Feldman, ADrock, Ja Rule and John Legend.

i had a celebtastic Friday 6/24. on my way out of rite aid on 2nd ave in the e village, i passed Natasha Lyonne on her way in. she looks horrible, i must say. total skin and bones. but she's still got the raspy voice, which, coming out of her emaciated body, is quite disconcerting. then, at pastel nail salon on 3rd ave, i saw Molly Ringwald getting a pedicure. she had her (hot) husband and adorable daughter with her. i was thisclose to asking if she was getting "pretty in pink" nailpolish.

It was a good night last night at the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Right before the show started, I spotted Jeff Goldblum sitting front and center looking very good in a dark shirt and glasses. He is an excellent theater-goer, laughing and clapping enthusiastically at the (terrific) show. My bf nudges me midway through the performance and points out the equally gorgeous and appreciative Meg Ryan sitting at the end of our row. Her hair looked fantastic as did her boho skirt. Heady with excitement, we hit the street after the show, when we saw the evening's best sighting yet: swathed in a white mumu, walking down 50th street, none other than Rip Taylor. It was almost too much.

Walking on west 4th away from the Pride Parade, saw Elijah Wood sitting outside at a restaurant. Didn't expect him to look as cute as he did. Curious though, close enough to the marching gays, yet far enough away not to raise any eyebrows. That boy has a good publicist...

Sunday evening (June 26) I was walking through Strawberry Fields on my way out of central park, just near "imagine" when who do I see coming towards me heading into the park but Yoko Ono herself. Wearing her favorite really large sunglasses and accompanied by a small entourage. As you might imagine, the tourists who recognized her while paying homage at "imagine" were VERY excited. The guitar-strumming local, however, did not seem impressed, and kept playing and "singing".

saw Spike Lee in paragon, near union square, on Saturday 6/24. he was by himself, and coming up the stairs from the basement, carrying a big shopping bag, so guess he got some new shoes! he looks exactly like he does on the red carpet and in interviews.

on friday, june 24th, saw Mickey Rourke on lexington bet 34th & 33rd walking a dog. he looked almost like wildenstein, with so much botox & plastic surgery, walking with a short lady with red hair. they both looked strung out.

Mon, Jun 27, as i crossed Spring st. to get to the subway, i passed heath ledger holding the hand of some tiny blond girl. he was shaven, which was a change since the last time i saw him in prague looking like the unibomber, but he still had shaggy unkempt hair. i don't get his appeal. they looked like they were in a hurry to get somewhere, perhaps away from the girls at the bar next door who were pointing.

Pride power table at Prune on Saturday night (6/25)! Sitting at the front window table were Hilary Swank, Chad Lowe, The L Word's Mia Kirshner, Director Steven Hopkins, and an unidentified gay power-couple. They had several rounds of drinks, small plates, and stayed until restaraunt closing around 1 AM. It was truly a million dollar sighting.

hey saw Sean Lennon on Fifth and 4 walking as confused as I was in the heat and then standing watching the Gay Parade. I bumped right into his chest cause I'm like 5"1 because these Muscle Queens were shoving to get to Christopher Street. Super Cool and nice.

sat 6/24: Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Geller with a couple and their baby at Bubbys (again).

Willem Dafoe at costume national today (6.27). I was looking at the shoes when a guy walking out of the dressing room caught my eye. that face is unmistakable. his hair looked rather red and it was on just above shoulder length and wavy. he was wearing a black T shirt and too large black pants. the saleswoman went to get him a smaller size.

Seen Saturday night, June 25, on the corner of 77th and Broadway: Fran Drescher (who certainly has put on some pounds!) turning to the friend she was strolling with and saying, "Hang on — I have to call David Arquette right now."

saw Juliette Lewis on orchard and rivington Friday 6/24; she had on this long, busy skirt that made her look like a raver.

I saw Janeane Garofalo walking three big dogs on 4th Avenue Sat 6/25. She's back to being a brunette and looks great.

Jimmy Fallon hurrying down 7th Ave, headed towards 13th St. on the evening of 6/24.

Saw Josh Hartnett in a little bar in the East Village after seeing his friend's one-man show which he also produced (Ham Lake). He was really friendly and down-to-earth, kind of nice to see after so many crazy celebrities.

I saw Ali G in central park on Friday June 24th. He was filming a bit for his show where he was dressed up as Borat, the clueless journalist from the state of Kazakhstan. He was running up to joggers and cyclists with an ice cream cone in his hand, presumably asking whether or not they wanted a lick.

Saw Paul Rudd (he of "Clueless" and "Friends") having a post Pride-parade drink with friends at Art Bar in the Village on Sunday night. Not too notable, except he was with his wife and baby who was wearing a onesie that read, "I'm not gay, but my boyfriend is." This kid should have no issues. Right.

on Saturday, 6/25 at 5:00 pm walking up Columbus at 79th Street was Matt Dillon with a too attractive girl for him. He was talking loudly & trying to be recognized by anyone. He had a wife beater showing his man boobs. After co-starring with Hohan, guess he's on his way to being the lesser Dillon.

Mon 6/27, Elizabeth Berkeley and husband Greg Lauren (actor, painter, nephew of Ralph) crossing Houston Street and walking towards Mercer. He's gorgeous while she looks overbaked in the sun. She was wearing one of those bright sundresses being sold at the corner of Wooster and Prince. Incidentally, my friend saw her buying several pieces of those sundresses a few weeks ago.

Saw Norah Jones with her songwriter guy at the Feist show at Bowery Ballroom on 6/25. Norah is tiny and cute and used the ATM.

saw corey feldman (?!) on sunday afternoon (6/26). the elevator door opened and an unappealing man walked out. my friend said "that was corey feldman, he just moved into our building." I thought he was some loser slumming on the LES. he was wearing a baseball cap, dark sunglasses, baggy knee length shorts, T shirt and loose fitting short sleeve shirt with lots of stubble. seemed as if he had a rough saturday night.

sat evening 6/24: adrock of the beastie boys walking with 2 women and his bike on hudson near Laight.

5am Saturday morning 6/25 spotted ja rule making out with some chick on the hood of his Porsche / Ferrari /really expensive car, 23rd street near 6th ave.

Saw John Legend and some of his entourage at Maroon's restaurant on 16th street. It was Father's Day and my mom and i had taken my dad out to savor some good ol' Carribean fare. And who should saunter in (taller than I thought) with perfectly groomed facial hair, but John Legend with 2 beefy looking security guys, an older guy and two not-so beefy looking security guys. It seems like they all ordered the Fried chicken and waffles combo. He was very gracious when a woman, who was also there with her mother and father, was leaving and telling him that she wanted to make his show yesterday (he performed at Summerstage the day before) and he said thanks so much, yeah it was really packed. I kept making eye contact, as he was sitting right across from me, but it could have been that he was just looking up and i was staring at him and was in his direct line of vision, as a matter of fact, i think that's what it was.

In this edition: Naomi Watts goes batshit, plus Lindsay Lohan and Ashley Stewart, Heath Ledger, Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster, Mary-Kate Olsen, David Bowie, Mira Sorvino and Chris Backus and child, Diane Wiest, Heather Graham, Patti Lupone, Naomi Campbell, Keanu Reeves, Michael Keaton, Janeane Garofalo, Jeff Goldblum, Winona Ryder, Al Sharpton, Mike Meyers, David Alan Grier, Jermaine Dupri, Howard Stern, Janet Weiss, Sally Hershberger, Pat O'Brien, Ned Eisenberg, Meredith Vieira, Max Weinberg and a very special Bernard-Henri L vy sighting from abroad.

My friend and I were shopping in SoHo wed the 22nd and we heard from behind us a woman screaming profanitities. We turned around and it was Naomi Watts from The Ring movies having a screaming match on her cell phone. She looks cute but was obviously on the brink of a meltdown. I guess she realized she was creating a scene because she turned around quickly and disappeared around the block.

Yesterday (june 23rd) I was in one of those little bohemian boutiques that I can't really afford to buy anything in and in walks Naomi Watts looking a little spaced out. She was talking to the sales girl about having to buy clothes for a trip to an ashram. The sales girl was helping her (this is a very tiny store) and suddenly Watts just snapped and started yelling at her, saying that if she couldn't get what she wanted she would go someplace else. Then she grabbed the clothes that the girl was holding, threw them on the floor, and stormed out. The rest of us in the store just stood in disbelief.

i had such a deliciously cliche sighting last night 6/21 at bungalow 8. Lindsey Lohan and Ashley Stewart were on one couch feverishly typing on their sidekicks all night (no illegal substances in sight) while Mary Kate Olsen was backing that thang up in some killer cowboy boots in the neighboring booth.

was at celebrity magnet marquee on tuesday (6/21). literally bumped into Lindsay Lohan and her friends and think i also saw Wilmer there too.

June 24 - I went to the Loews Cineplex on Third Ave. with my friends to see Cinderella Man. About 5 minutes into the movie Heath Ledger and some woman who was definately not Michelle came in to the theater and sat in front of us. They made out heavily for most of the movie. I guess Heath thinks a dark movie theater is a good place to cheat on his pregnant girlfriend. He should know by now that wearing that same green hat everywhere is not the best way to go incognito.

I know you don't usually do sighting outside of the boroughs but this one is big. I saw Hollywood's Richest and Most Powerful Almighty/Tom Cruise hug buddy Oprah Winfrey on June 17th. I was coming out of the Stone Water Spa on the Avenue. No, not 5th but Greenwich. Greenwich, CT. The FOT ("friend" of Tom) and her shadow Gayle were with a entourage only the truly powerful could have, about six assistants/producers/ lackeys, etc. getting into a big ass Escaladish vehicle. I must say she looked great, and has amazing hair.

on thurs june 23 i saw Denzel Washington, Clive Owen and Jodie Foster filming the latest spike lee joint for hbo downtown on Beaver and Hanover

I saw MK Olsen at Cain last night (june 21). I'm 5'4 and stood by her, and she's a midget. Actually, the first person I saw was that bazillionaire boyfriend of hers—he looks like Encino Man. She looks exactly like in pictures, and was smiling a lot and seemed to be having a really good time.

Fri, 24 Jun As I was walking into Duane Reade today on Broadway between Houston and Prince I took a glance at the person walking out. I took a second look and realized it was a very discreet David Bowie. Not looking his usual glamourous self he was wearing a blue baseball cap, dark sunglasses, blue t-shirt, and jeans. I guess he didn't want to be noticed on a very crowded Broadway sidewalk filled with European tourists.

Saw Mira Sorvino carrying her baby with husband Chris Backus pushing the stroller and nanny(?), trailing behind Tuesday night (jun 21) at 8:30 on the UWS heading south on Columbus near 81^st St, An hour or more later when we finished dinner we left the restaurant and passed them again heading north. She looked tired but cute in a white sundress although her hair was yellow yellow yellow. Chris looked very young and very cute in a tee shirt, jeans and yankee cap.

Passed Diane Wiest on 9th Ave yesterday (6/21), between 44th & 45th, at around 4 pm. She was talking on her cell phone and stopped in front of a shop to finish her conversation. I restrained myself from making a scene and telling her how much I love her work. No one else seemed to notice her. My friend didn't share my excitement but what does she know.

Last night (6/21) we passed Heather Graham on our way to Magnolia Bakery. She looked happy and gleaming with no make-up on and was eating a cupcake. We, however, did not get cupcakes since the line was around the corner and I was too tipsy to wait around.

I was on my way back from lunch with my husband this afternoon when I spotted Patti LuPone at Chez Josephine's outdoor cafe. She had just sat down with two men and appeared a bit nervous. Shared a "that's Patti LuPone!" with one of my building's doormen who was watching the scene from his post two doors down.

thurs june 23rd Looking deceivingly demure, sighted the alleged three-time assistant beater herself, Ms. Naomi Campbell, on Broadway almost at prince surrounded by 5 hanger-ons and peons, not as beautiful as i expected.

Friday 6/24 310pm Saw Keanu at Columbus and 81st on the UWS. he was wearing a brown suit that was nice but really wrinkley, like he slept in it. He is such a dogstar. He was with a blond who was pretty, but not bombastically so.

Saw a casually dressed Michael Keaton after lunch today (jun22) crossing 57th at 6th Avenue with a well-dressed business type. He looks really good for his age.

Janeane Garofalo walking alone up Park Avenue at 29th (6/23) around 6:30pm. (Headed to the radio show perhaps?) I was pleasantly surprised she looked terrific, very fit, and I don't think my early-90s crush on her clouds my judgment. Was wearing silver-framed aviators with a sleeveless shirt to show off her rockin' tatts

Saw Jeff Goldblum on 14th street between 5th and 6th on Monday, June 20th, talking into his cell phone about how beautiful it was outside. I believe he was wearing some sort of workout attire.

I'm perusing the Christian Louboutin section at Barneys this evening (6/23), and I see this girl wearing a Burberry bucket hat with two pigtail braids, a dark top, and a floor-length dark skirt, with literally thirty or so shoe boxes around her. She's sort of whining to the woman she's with that a certain shoe didn't fit right. I realize that this is Winona Ryder! She has a cute face, very delicate features.

Tonight as I was walking south on Madison Avenue, I ran into Al Sharpton between 62nd and 61st street. He had just exited a chauffeured black Cadillac and was walking into what I believe was an apartment building. I said "Mr. Sharpton, hello!" and he said "hello" in return. He was skinnier than I thought he would be.

I was walking home after work on 6/23 on Houston street and made eye contact with the hot scruffy looking guy in a knit hat walking towards me ...only to realize it was Scott Foley — who looked way more "Ben" then "Noel" on this particular evening. Although I did wonder what he was doing wearing the knit hat in 90 degree weather.

Sat, 25 Jun 2005 today i saw mike myers with wife robin crossing sullivan st. and walking towards w. houston. he was dressed in a white button down shirt and she was in all black. he's very short in person and his skin is in dire need of moisturizer.

David Alan Grier at the opening receptinon for Aernout Mik's Refraction at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, of all places. Was very grabby towards his female companion

While on my way into Marquee thur jun 23 I was fortunate enough to witness my man Jermaine Dupri getting out of an Escalade with about 5 large gentlemen. Not that exciting, however the fun part is that they told the doorman before hand it was Wilmer Valderrama, so they were all expecting "the guy from That 70's Show." Needless to say, they were stunned when a 5'8 african american popped out with diamonds the size of cueballs in his ears. He played with his "Sidekick" all night and looked rather uninterested in the tail throwing themselves at him.

Sat, 25 Jun Just wanted to let you know I saw Howard Stern on 14 st. and 9th ave. Looked like he was going to Vento. He's tall!

thur jun 23: saw Janet Weiss of sleater-kinney in the conde nast cafeteria. like, whoa

Wed jun 22 at about 630pm, while running to Soho House for pre-party drinks, I crossed paths with Sally Hershberger and a tall, pretty woman. Sally looks cool, but almost lesbian-esque... is she?

thurs, june 23, saw Dave Matthews drinking cocktails, gazing out at the Statue of Liberty at the bar on the deck Ritz on Battery Park.

Saw a super-skeevy Pat O'Brien on the corner of 44/7 on Monday afternoon (6/20). He was pacing around and staring at his Blackberry, wearing a suit sans jacket. I had sunglasses on so I could glare at Potty Mouth Pat as he not once, but twice, gave me a lingering stare. He looked thin and orange and I had to restrain myself from screaming "Let's go crazy and get some coke! Leave me a voicemail!"

At the auction house where I work I was especially distracted yesterday by vaguely familiar looking man who was maniacally pacing and circling the room for most of the sale. I did some sleuthing and it turned out to be Ned Eisenberg, a character actor who is frequently on Law & Order. He seemed perfectly normal, but if he weren't an actor I would totally peg him as a very typical sort of art auction buyer, the jittery dealer (they're either cool as cucumbers or semi-off-the-wall).

Sunday (6/19) I was walking uptown on Broadway past Ruby Foo's, happened to look at who was dining at the open front windows, and saw Meredith Vieira of The View and now Millionaire fame. She was sitting with a young girl (daughter, perhaps?). Sadly, some poor schmo on the sidewalk in full cycling getup wouldn't leave her alone. She grinned and beared it. Then seconds later I walked right past Scott Speedman of Felicity fame. Perfect face-scruff, perfect buns.

Friday (6/24), 11:45 am: saw Max Weinberg in the West 4th Station wearing a nice dark blue suit, blue shirt and blue and black tie. He was holding a large black binder with just a few papers in it (he looked like someone going to a job interview). He had an annoyed expression on his face, but I would too if I was wearing a suit in a subway station in the summer at high noon. Was he forced to take the subway? What's NBC paying him?

Sat, 25 Jun had the greatest/worst Bernard-Henri L vy sighting. confirmed seen at the ceiba del mar hotel near cancun. he's an schmuck. He was sitting next to me in the lobby - i asked him the time, he looked straight at me and away. there was a watch on his wrist. i asked again slowly in case he didn't understand, "excuse me do you have the time?" he said, "no." then he kept making this weird phlegmy noise in his throat. i can't wait to toss Barbarism with a Human Face when i return to NYC.

Saw Ben Affleck at Dos Caminos on West Broadway and Houston on Saturday (6/18) night. I was having dinner outside when Ben came out to smoke. The hostess came over and asked him to not smoke where people were eating. He was very polite and apologized and then walked through the crowd of diners and finished his cigarette in front of the restaurant. He was looking rather ragged (hadn't shaved in a few days) and portly (sympathy pounds?). Didn't see Jennifer, though she might have been dining with him inside the restaurant.

On Monday June 20th, I saw Johnny Depp at Christie's. He was with his art consultant Jon Shore. They were descending the lobby staircase while I was ascending the adjacent one. I know Shore from our days working together at Christie's, so I hollered out "Hey Jon" directed towards Shore, then BOTH Depp and Shore replied "Hey!" back to me! Depp was wearing jeans and had on glasses. He's not particularly tall.

Saw Laura Dern and Gloria Steinem at a benefit for "Equality Now" last night. Also ran into Billy Bob Thornton coming out of my Chase bank at 5th Ave. and 14th St. yesterday; he was wheeling an expensive mountain bike and wearing dark sunglasses.

saw the Olsen Twins @ Crobar for Grace Jones/Black Eyed Peas in the VIP section on June 16.

Saw MK Olsen in Kmart yesterday. Knew it was her the moment I caught sight of her two tooth pick legs sticking out of cowboy boots. Looked just like she does in pictures, except skinnier and grosser. She stopped at the photo booth, then disappeared. Later as I was outside trying to hail a cab, MK ran by and jumped into her waiting SUV with California plates. Her friends\slaves followed behind bags in hand.

At the Union Square Whole Foods on Saturday I saw Mary-Kate Olsen in the checkout line in some seriously short jean cutoffs which exposed her marionette-like twig legs. didn't get a look at what she was buying to not-eat.

Saw Meryl Streep in Battery Park at lunchtime shooting a promotional spot for something. She is much shorter in person than I thought she would be. Very nice to everyone, in an oxford and jeans. Looked much younger than her years.

I saw Donna Summer and Deborah Harry having lunch at Michaels...on Friday, June17 - looked like they were having a lot of fun....

On Sunday at about 5 I saw Natalie Portman on the 2nd floor of MoMA with a couple that appeared to be her very normal looking parents. She was very tiny and has a very pretty face, but she looked like a cult member with that awful buzz cut.

I saw Juliette Lewis @ the Cock, June 14 around 3:30AM. She was powdering her nose

On Saturday around 3 I saw a very pretty Susan Sarandon walking outside of the G-Star store in Soho with her son, about 12. She looked gorgeous but doesn't seem to have had any work done, "aging naturally" — she looked like a pretty mom, not a movie star, which was kind of nice.

Saw Christopher Guest on Saturday at the Metropolitan Museum in the Great Hall. Wasn't sure at first if it was actually him or a regular Midwestern tourist schlub. He made angry-looking eye contact, maybe because he was as disappointed as I was at the Chanel exhibit that doubles as a shrine to the devil himself, Karl Lagerfeld. No Jamie Lee Curtis in sight... perhaps she is off filming a True Lies sequel?

Saw Al Franken on Friday night (6/17) at Citrus on 320 Amsterdam and 75th with his daughter and her beau in tow. Al was dressed in his Minnesota best in jeans, a tucked-in oxford shirt, and loafers. He seemed to be giving said beau the third degree over dinner...They ate and paid quickly.

Walking back home last night up 1st Ave to 5th Street 6/20 10pm in the E. Village I was staring straight at a bearded, hippy looking man who turned out to be Chris Robinson (straggly, but HOT!), dining al fresco at Three of Cups on the corner of 5th and 1st . Across from him was his wife Kate Hudson in a hat closely resembling what Eloise might wear. I begrudgingly admit, she s damn pretty. They were with a bunch of music biz looking friends passing many beers down the table.

On Sunday, 6/19, around 4pm, I passed Naomi Watts walking eastward on Houston St toward Mott. She looked cute but relatively un-starlet-y, with her very, very blonde hair pulled back into a low ponytail and big-ol' dark sunglasses. She had on some kind of flowy colorful top with jeans. She's quite short and petite, but she didn't look as bony as I would have expected. She was with a mini-entourage of four or five unknowns.

Saw Sofia Coppola with a female friend on Bleeker between Charles and Perry Sts. She was very casual, wearing a denim skirt and no makeup and looks really tiny in person.

Spotted Anthony Michael Hall at Sushi Samba on 6.20.05... looking much more Johnny Be Good than Farmer Ted wearing a surprisingly tight t-shirt and very jockish hair (longer on top, super short in the back) had an attractive blond in tow he is much taller than expected until last night I never realized how much he looks like a younger, thinner Chris Moore His tall ass stalked around the restaurant from corner to corner and finally up to the roof as though he was desperately searching for the right seat (or simply seeking to be recognized)...

Saw Andre 3000 on Sunday (6/19) walking on 1st up towards 13th street. Was wearing all white with these bug sunglasses and the lenses were tinted this iridescent yellow-gold color. He also had this massive white cocoon thing on his head with all his hair tucked in. Shorter than I thought he would be...

Saw Mark Wahlberg getting out of a Bentley on Sunday morning (6/19) at the corner of Avenue A and 12th Street.

Saw Madonna's baby's daddy, Carlos Leon, on Sunday around 6:30 on the downtown E train. Yes, I recognized him almost instantly.

saw richard belzer last week at citarella on 10th street and 6th avenue. is very tall and thin and was wearing dark sunglasses and chatting on a cell phone. he didn't buy anything though though he spent a lot of time walking around the store.

Saw Peter Dinklage (The Station Agent) walking into Magnolia Bakery, holding hands with a girl (who was not a little person). They appeared to be a couple.

The Yankees' Tino Martinez walking up Second Avenue in the 80s on Saturday evening, with his family in tow, a few hours after the Yankees beat the Cubs, 8-1. Perhaps Tino was headed to one of the many frat bars in the area to drown his sorrows after going 0-4 with three strikeouts and leaving six runners on base.

In this edition: Liza Minnelli, Al Pacino and Harvey Keitel and Robert DeNiro, Patrick Dempsey, Rudy Giuliani, George Lucas, Lauren Bacall, Mary-Kate Olsen, Gene Simmons, Meryl Streep, James Gandolfin, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams, Matthew Broderick, Claire Danes, Ally Sheedy, John Lithgow, Sam Rockwell, Gabriel Byrne, David Eigenberg, Maggie Gyllenhall, Giovanni Ribisi, Jimmy Fallon, Dean Winters, Alan Cumming, Flavor Flav, Kelly Ripa, Damon Dash and Rachel Roy, Conor Oberst, Todd Solondz, Philip Bloch, and Constantine.

had an awesome sighting today....saw Liza Minnelli on 3rd and 73rd buying one of those cheap leather cell phone cases off the street. She was with a friend, or maybe an assistant. Had full Liza makeup on, looked great. Someone came up to take a picture, and she was super nice. Didn't seem like she was about to physically abuse anyone. She's awesome.

Probably my most amazing sighting ever last night (June 15). I was eating dinner with a friend in my fave neighborhood spot (In Tribeca), and we notice there's a guy sitting at the table across from us sort of listening to our conversation and watching us. I realize it's Al Pacino! I nearly fell of my chair. About ten minutes later, in walks Harvey Keitel with a woman — not sure if it was a wife or an assistant. My friend and I were reeling. Give it another ten minutes, and freaking Robert DeNiro walks in with his wife! Unbelievable — they really do all hang out and eat dinner together. They're all also short. Not one of the lot (of men) was over 5'8" (at best)! Nevertheless, extremely exciting!

yesterday (thurs 6/16), sometime in the morning, I walked a few blocks down west end avenue in the 70s next to patrick dempsey (of grey's anatomy), and damn, did he look good. he walked fast and i walked faster to keep up at get a good look. he was pretty tall, more than expected, and looked very put together. no uws dads look that good, ever.

Fri june 17 Saw Rudy Giuliani heading into Osteria del Circo on 55th Street last night, with entourage. I work nearby, and while I was out getting lunch I saw Barbara Walters heading in, guess it was a busy day over there.

I saw George Lucas today (6/15) at the MOMA at about 1PM. He was looking rather jittery, pacing in front of Monet's Waterlilies, wearing a smashing khaki shorts, navy blue polo shirt, and cream sweater vest ensemble. He was alone and I wasn't positive that it was him until several very bored looking adolescent boys on a school field trip suddenly became very interested in Monet... and autographs.

Today (6/15) at the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle, Lauren Bacall picking out fresh fruit -the organic kind. Ironically, I had just watched The Treasure of Sierra Madre with the audio commentary on (Eric Lax speed reading/mumbling from a prepared text) so I had to resist the urge to tell her that I had learned she made a mean meal for Bogie, the Hustons et all while on location in Mexico. Back in the 21st century, she politely apologized a few times to random tourists for taking up aisle space with her cart. I left feeling starstruck by someone who reminded me of my mom at the A&P.

Thu, Jun 16th I saw Mary-Kate Olsen at the Ben and Jerry's downtown on 3rd Avenue. She was sitting in a booth alone across from a few of her friends. She was eating soft serve vanilla in a cone with rainbow sprinkles. She left once I started telling all my friends that she was there.

Saw Gene Simmons of KISS yesterday @ 6:30 pm on Pine walking toward Broadway in the Financial District with a couple of business/legal-type dudes in suits. Gene was rockin' the shellac dome and a sportcoat.

june 17 Saw Meryl Streep walking on 12th street between University and 5th ave with a female friend.

saw James Gandolfini, looking very tony, at cafe on clinton in cobble hill/the heights. on a bench, rumpled white shirt, smoking a cigar and being big-bellied in the heat. there were children and cameras, in a sort of celebratory way—like an after-baptism brunch or...does he have a teenager? cause all the hipster rich kids on clinton were dressed like prostitutes and waiting for their limos to take them to the prom.

Saw Michelle Willams and Heath Ledger at The Coffee Pot on Avenue A and E 3rd St today (Friday, 6/17) around 2:00 PM. She bought a bottled water, he bought a blended coffee drink. They proceeded to use one of the internet terminals - he checked his Hotmail account while she flipped through the New York Post, and then she checked her Yahoo account. She was wearing a cute black dress and matching flip flops, looking quite pregnant. Both looked like they could use a shower.

Just saw Matthew Broderick walking down 56th Street carrying his bike helmet. Hate to say it, but he looked fat, not muscular. I thought he gave me goo-goo eyes, but it may have just been bike riding exhaustion eyes.

went to Sandra Cameron's last night (6/15) for a dance lesson and saw Claire Danes there, also for a dance lesson. She looked quite pretty, but was wearing an oddly matronly outfit (slacks and a weird cropped collarless jacket) and was with a non-Crudup, youngish latino guy. Maybe learning to foxtrot for her next movie?

June 14 saw Ally Sheedy eating lunch with a seriously Midwestern looking family at the Olympic Flame Diner on 60th and Amsterdam She seemed as though she rather be eating her own dandruff alone.

Last night (Thursday 16 June), my wife & I were having dinner at Rosa Mexicano at Lincoln Center, and the staff seated John Lithgow at the next table over from us. He was slightly disheveled (from the sudden downpour, I think), and was much thinner than I remember him looking. Maybe the camera really DOES add ten pounds? Anyway, he dined alone, read a book the whole time, and paid with his Gold Card.

Saw Sam Rockwell on the 1/9 train yesterday. Got on at 42nd St. headed downtown. Looked rustled but cool, with a small outdoor-chic backpack on stuffed to the gills. he was having an intense conversation with a greying, portly man with goatee who, unfortunately, was not Big Fat Bernie Gayle.

june 16 Gabriel Byrne on 44th & 6th. Dressed casually but looking manly/rugged in a Russell Crowe phone tossing kinda way.

Tuesday, June 14, saw David Eigenberg (Steve from SATC) dining outside at Vento, then walked a few blocks south, right past Maggie Gyllenhall on Greenwich Street, looking stunning in the perfect black cocktail dress and getting into a black sedan.

Giovanni Ribisi was taking pictures of hipsters outside of Misshapes on Saturday night. Don't know if he went inside at all, but I saw him walk away with a few friends.

6/17 This afternoon I walked by Jimmy Fallon on Irving Place. He was looking worse for wear and has definitely gained some weight since I last saw him on tv. Poor guy.

Last night (6/15) at Snitch: A cute (and taller than expected) Dean Winters, hanging with friends. Had to text some Mary friends in LA, who are still dreaming of a Dean n Chris Meloni Oz Sandwich, to make them jealous.

Alan Cumming at Bar Americain Friday Jun 3, looking eccentric and dashing in a pair of oversized round glasses, sort of channeling a Willy Wonka look.

i was walking today (june 17) on 57th and a little man dressed like a bike messenger (baggie shorts, bag across his chest) was jaywalking, pumping a fist in the air, and screaming unintelligible things- who else but Flavor Flav?! He carried on like your run of the mill crazy street person from 9th ave to 7th. When I came out of a store there fifteen minutes later he was still going, much to the amusement of the suits on lunchhour who were all talking about it on their phones. Tourists outside Hard Rock Cafe were confused and kept a safe distance. And yes, he's short, even when he's not standing next to Brigitte Nielsen. Kicking myself for not yelling out "Fufi!"

june 15 saw Kelly Ripa with child yesterday at the washington square park playground. exactly as would be expected; small, blonde, and decidedly UNbubbly. the tattoo completely overpowers her tiny leg though.

saw damon dash and rachel roy eating at cipriani downtown on tuesday night around 7ish- sitting outside with a young boy, their son? and another family. was crazy when they came in- out of the huge escalade on the blackberry

Saw Conor Oberst Saturday around 2:00 walking down 14th St. near 6th ave talking on his cell . . . dark dyed hair, jeans, and a windbreaker . . . looked very serious

I got some "Happiness" from spotting director Todd Solondz walking solo up Broadway past E. 9th Street on Saturday, July 18 at 4:45 PM. Geeked out in his trademark specs, Solondz was wearing a red plaid short-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. Didn't see Weiner Dog, though.

Not sure if this counts... But earlier tonight (6/15), while eating in Sushi Samba's outdoors section, I spotted celebrity stylist Philip Bloch, shuffling up Seventh Ave South. Sans celebrity, but still with style. He looked sad. :(

june 15 And last night I saw Constantine from American Idol walking into Webster Hall for the Bloc Party show.

In this edition: Bruce Springsteen, Dave Chappelle, Amber Frey, Sarah Jessica Parker, Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder, Claire Danes, Maggie Gyllenhall and Peter Sarsgaard, Dan Aykroyd, Molly Shannon, Michael Imperioli, Sam Rockwell, Paul Giametti, Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber, Clive Owen, K.D. Lang, Juliette Lewis, Anna Wintour, Pat O'Brien, Leelee Sobieski, Mark Wahlberg, Malcolm Gladwell, Larry King, Star Jones and Al Reynolds, and Helena Christensen.

What a bitchin' celeb-spotting day I had on Friday. First up I saw Amber Frey on 5th ave pushing a baby stroller. Does she have a kid? Then I saw Alan Alda walking on Broadway and 56th. Then the best of all: I spotted a totally hot Bruce Springsteen browsing the new book tables at the Union Square B&N. Dig his soul patch. What is he now, 50? I wish he would have thrown me on top of the table for some sweet Boss lovin'. Sigh....

Dave Chappelle made a surprise appearance onstage at Gotham Comedy Club on Saturday night. It was the 12:30 show. Everyone was totally shocked. He was amazing... tried out a lot of new material and took on all the crazy rumors from the get-go. He was amazing.

I was in the West Village on Christopher and 7th on Friday around 6 PM and saw nonother than the quintessential New Yorker herself, Sarah Jessica Parker, she was doing the one-two-three "weee" thing with her little boy and what must have been a nanny. A few people had cautiously gathered to stare and I knew my friends would kill me if I didn't at least ask for a pic. I timidly went up to her with my camera phone ready and asked if she would mind, and she replied in the sweetest most sincere tone, "Um, I'd love not to when I with my child, I'm so sorry." She was so nice that I put my phone away immediately and said, "I totally understand, I'm sorry too." Then some pscho lady came up right behind her and started to drool on about how much she loves her, loves her baby, loves all babies, etc. As the light turned and we all crossed the street I looked back for one more glance and she called out, "Bye, Thank you!"

Saw Susan Sarandon @ Kennedy Airport, Jet Blue, Sunday afternoon, at the ticket counter with her two sons and another young man strangely dressed in a suit, acting like their valet. She looked good, sneakers, hair up, sunglasses on inside. Acted annoyed at the person behind the counter.

Whist shopping at the Barney's NY Summer Shoe Sale with my brother and his boyfriend on Friday, who do we see lounging on a couch but Katie Holmes chatting away on her cell phone. Strangely enough, Tommy boy's dearest was not interested in the slightest at looking at any of the pretty shoes the woman she was with was with was trying on. We're talking boxes and boxes and boxes of shoes. I thought "how sweet! Katie is taking her assistant shoe shopping." What a shock to find out it was not her assistant but her Scientologist baby-sitter; Jessica Rodriguez. No word on who paid the bill.

I spied Winona Ryder on 21st, right about where it becomes Gramercy Park North, on Monday. She looked semi-recognizable (I did a quintuple-take to make sure it was her) in a v-neck t-shirt dress, wearing several necklaces and carrying a can of soda. All of her outfit appeared to be paid for—that is, there were no visible tags—so that was good.

My boyfriend and I sat next to Claire Danes at the Cub Room on Saturday the 11th around 4:30 in the afternoon. She and a relative (sister, cousin?) were drinking wine, and Claire looked supremely uncomfortable while her companion prattled on without a breath for about 45 minutes—she kept touching her hair, fidgeting, and adjusting her dress. Or, she could have been uncomfortable because my boyfriend returned from the bathroom with his fly unzipped—guess we'll never know.

so on friday night, we were drinking overpriced alcohol on the roof at Soho House and the song "The Only Living Boy in New York" came on, and we were like, "ooh, it's the Garden State soundtrack, how last year!" And then we were talking about "Garden State" and how we liked Peter Sarsgaard in it, and then Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhall walked by on the way to the elevator. Which means that they were playing the Garden State soundtrack the whole time that Peter Sarsgaard was chilin' on the roof — coincidence or weirdly intentional?

Saw a militant-looking Dan Aykroyd marching down 86th street between 1st and 2nd aves 7:30-ish last night wearing aviators and a Rambo-esque bandana around his head. Either on some urban guerilla mission or in a rush to catch Puccini in the park.

then on sunday night, we saw Molly Shannon eating dinner at the sidewalk tables at the Half King — she was with some older people — parents? in-laws? — and we were mildly surprised that she chose to eat outside, despite the sweltering heat.

Rainy evening last week, departing a cab in front of the the Union Square theater on my way to see Episode 3. As I step out, my eyes meet Michael Imperioli's as he waits patiently for me to de-cab so he can get in. He was by himself. Much shorter (and older) than I expected, but he just does it for me on The Sopranos. He gruffed a "how's it goin" as I stared at him in awe, complete with cheesy grin.

Spotted Sam Rockwell in Hell's Kitchen on Friday looking crazier than Bob Crane.

Had a great "wow-celebrities-are-real-people-too" sighting this morning (6/15)...about 9:30 on the 2 train. Clark Street Station, who should get on but Paul Giamatti! Bespectacled, bearded and all. Nothing out of the ordinary, he was wearing a standard short sleeved, buttoned down shirt and jeans and stood in the doorway of the car. No one else seemed to notice, but I kept doing that "I'm smiling at you uncontrollably because I know who you are" thing every time I glanced in his direction. I did see him moving his lips from time to time, proving that he really does talk to himself (as he copped to on Letterman). Anyways, he got off at Chambers, and though I was tempted to follow him (just for research, I assure you), alas, my courage gave out and I just came to work....

was walking down lafayette between prince and spring around 7pm and look up and naomi watts is coming towards me and i look to her right and liev schreiber is there too. she is very fresh and beautiful in person and they were walking kinda far apart from each other and not talking- shes pretty average height too like 5 foot 3 which was surprising, liev seemed in his own world and she seemed spaced out- noone seemed to bother them or even notice them

Spotted "Sin City" star Clive Owen not once but twice Sunday afternoon. First walking down Hudson Street wearing what the Chico's catalog would call "tissue linen seperates"— i.e. white linen drawstring pants and a matching pullover. And then saw him later in the day on Bleecker Street having changed costume to white button-down and olive khakis. I know that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, but a gorgeous as that mug of his is, he's got serious man-boobies, a paunch and a lot of junk in his trunk. My boyfriend didn't even believe that it was him!

saw K.D. Lang at the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum in Long Island City, NY. She was with girfriend, both very nice and polite. She was wearing an oversized white button down shirt. Heavier than I thought but had beautiful blue eyes and was strangely attractive.

Was in Scoop on Third Ave. near 73rd St. today (6/13) and saw Juliette Lewis. She was with a blonde, orange-skinned friend and seemed pretty unassuming. Her clothes were quite casual and certainly didn't scream "look at me! I'm a star, dammit!". She might want to reconsider flaunting that back-tatoo, though.. ::shudder::

I was walking up Sullivan St, between Houston and Bleeker, and I didn't realize whose block I was on until up ahead of me I saw a skinny, impeccably dressed older woman getting out of a black car. She took her sunglasses off as she glanced towards me, and I realized it was the Ice Queen, Anna Wintour. She was wearing a sleeveless tan shirt, a pleated a-line floral skirt, and strappy sandals. I was a bit surprised that she was carrying a ratty cheap-looking tote. She did kind of scare me though.

last thursday morning i saw a weird looking sweaty reddish-blonde haired man with an ugly mustache jogging very slowly up thompson st. when he got closer i realized that it was entertainment reporter Pat O'Brien. ew. he stopped jogging briefly to look in the window of the men's store sean and then slowly went on his perverted, skeevy way.

Bar Pitti last night (6/14) Countless bottles of wine, extra large cup of Tasti-D, and Leelee Sobieski celebrating her 23rd birthday with a group of friends and hangers-on. At first, she waited outside with the rest of us, then was seated and played bongos on the table for some much needed attention. In a green and blue, vintage-inspired cocktail dress with velveteen red straps and huge, pinned corsage... looking more like a prom night reject than a birthday girl. Loudly holding the center of attention among her pals, taking frequent cigarette breaks and gossiping about Tom Cruise: I don t think he d even know who I am, she said at one point. (They had a scene together in Eyes Wide Shut) 3 of the 10 friends sang a lame Happy Birthday to her after lighting a sparkler. At one point she made out with girl to her right, kissing her then licking her cheek.

Saw Marky Mark Wahlberg in an elevator @ the Trump International. There was no funky bunch in sight, and he didn't show me his Calvins. He was, however, incredibly friendly and chatty and, shockingly, not a midget. What the hell? Anyway, he was wearing a baggy tshirt and jeans and looked like himself— handsome but not, you know, Hot!. His hair is longish, sort of floppy.

Strolling down Wall St. around 4pm today (Tuesday 6/14), and on the steps of Cipriani I see a somewhat odd-looking slim dude in a black suit with a gigantic frizz fro. Sure enough, it was Malcolm Gladwell sitting down to take a quick rest. I glanced a few times to verify that it was him, but said nothing. Of note, although the weather is 100 degrees of hot death out on the lower Manhattan streets today, it is not possible to explain his hair through any level of humidity.

Monday, June 13th, 'round 11 AM saw a harried, maybe even angry looking LARRY KING hustling across 61st Street towards Park Ave. Had some Madison Ave. boutique bag with him. This man needs a shoulder-ectomy in a bad way. "Hey, Larry!" said me. "(inaudible grunt)" said he. Where's Bob Costas to push Larry into a speeding oncoming town car when you need him?

I saw Star Jones and her "heterosexual" husband [Al Reynolds] got out of their chaufeured van (definitely not an SUV) and went into Carls Steaks on 3rd & 34th tonight around 8PM. I was right behind them and heard Star order extra mayo on her cheesesteak. So much for the stomach staples! Plus, Star needs to know that mayo has no place on a proper cheesesteak. I have to say Star is nowhere nearly as huge as she used to be though I still find her repulsive.

Last night (6/12) I spotted the ever so lovely Helena Christensen hanging out with the gays in the cabanas of the Maritime Hotel. She had a few Marys in tote and was very low key. She was shorter than I thought but her face was even more angelic in person than in pictures.

In this edition: Joan Rivers, Christina Aguilera, Calvin Klein, John Waters, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams, Seal and Heidi Klum, Ashley Olsen, Lizzie Grubman, Steven Soderbergh and Jules Asner, Matt Damon, Hillary Swank and Chad Owen, Kate Winslet, Uma Thurman, Nicky Hilton, Adrian Grenier, Peter Dinklage, Rufus Wainright, Anderson Cooper, Rachel Dratch, Ed Helms, Steven Van Zandt, Joan Allen, David Caruso, Gilbert Gottfried, Bill Hemmer, Blythe Danner, Doug E. Fresh, and assorted Backstreet Boys.

6/7 saw an old, made-up Joan Rivers dropping off her urine at our gynecologist office.

I was sitting on steps of Met Sunday afternoon (6/5). Noticed a girl in cute pants walking down the stairs, it was Christina Aguilera, in all of her marilyn monroe blond glory. Was holding hands with her boyfriend and had 3 bodyguards in tow carrying the Met bags..she must have bought tons of stuff. Very petite and just as done up on a Sunday afternoon as she is in pictures...She loves the red lipstick.

Spotted Calvin Klein entering and exiting a building in the West Village last Wednesday. A black BMW pulled up on the sidewalk by said address at 6pm...a few minutes later, Calvin jumped out of the backseat, wearing a lavender button-down shirt and jeans. He darted into the building and emerged outside again, about 30 minutes later. The black BMW was waiting for him across the street, at W. 4th St and Perry. Calvin hopped into the back seat and drove off.

tuesday (6/7) i was at metro pictures and overheard someone laughing at the mike kelly collages. i turn to see that it is john waters. he approached the front desk most likely to inquire about purchasing one of the perverse pieces. he was carrying a rainbow striped bag.

Saw Heath Ledger and his supposedly pregnant girlfriend Michelle Williams at "The Pillowman" on June 2. As they sat down next to us, my friend leaned over to say, "This guy could pass for Heath Ledger." Upon closer observation I informed her that "that IS Heath Ledger." He looked grungy; kept his hat on and head down low until the house lights went down. She was extremely thin, dressed down in jeans and All Stars with black framed glasses. He spent a lot of the show canoodling her while she stayed focused on the play.

On a quick errand to buy my boss a birthday treat, spotted Heidi Klum, her baby, her mother and Seal on the corner of Bedford & Carmine. They seemed to be just out for a stroll with baby (adorable)...pretty unassuming, but hard to miss as Heidi and Seal are tall and glam-looking, plus there was some jerk standing directly in front of them trying to get a picture of them on his camera phone. She is very preggers and absolutely stunning, and I have to admit, he doesn't look bad either!

@ Bread on Spring Street last weekend we had just finished dinner when we were abruptly asked to leave. I thought it was sort of rude, so I started walking quickly to the front of the restaurant and practically knock over this tiny girl - it was Ashley Olsen! Not the anorexic one, this one looked more healthy. Behind her was this posse of bleached blond kind of skanky girls, but no bodyguard. She came up right to my boobs, and I'm not even that tall.

last night, 6/9, i'm waiting on 86th St. between 2nd and 1st for my little bus to take me closer to home. i see this bobble-headed woman, literally a twig with a push up bra and huge head walk into the liquor/wine store, and as i chuckled to myself at her ridiculous body, who do i see trailing behind her but one Lizzie Grubman, who apparently sent her friend into to pick up the booze on the way to God knows where. Lizzie whipped out a Swarovski-encrusted Sidekick and was glued to it for ages until the friend came out. She did, however, stop and offer a light when some street woman asked her for one.

Walked past Steven Soderberg and Jules Asner walking hand in hand on 22nd just before 6th ave 6/10 afternoon. They looked great together I have to admit. jules is beautiful and steven isn't half-bad either. i blurted out out "love you both" and they seemed surprised someone recognized them and thanked me. no no, thank U.

I spied Matt Damon on Bedford and Houston Tuesday night around midnight. He was walking with what seemed a small group of friends. He was holding the hand of someone who was conspicuously not Ben Affleck. He's got a great bubble but.

on tuesday evening i had a dogs-tangled-up moment with 2-time oscar winner hilary swank & her hubby chad lowe, on the corner of bleecker & w10. i was coming from the hair salon, where i had been admiring a photo of ms. swank in a recent issue of 'people' wearing a gorgeous vintage couture chanel gown at cannes. on the street, however, i was surprised by her attire which looked more like vintage old navy. wardrobe aside, she is really very pretty and natural light makes her much less angular than hollywood lighting. chad was spoting a buzz cut and looked rather handsome too. anyways - tell me something: why is it that celebs always have these funky looking pound dogs?!?

Held the front door of Chelsea Market (9th Ave & 15th St) open for Kate Winslet & her 2 kids. Second time in 2 weeks I've seen her there... probably headed to the Starbucks across the street.

6/9 Uma Thurman sitting in first row on an American flight JFK to LAX. My girlfriend and I noted she's even more stunning without Ethan's dirty little hoo-ha inside of her.

I saw Nicky Hilton, avec entourage, chilling in a banquette next to the dance floor at Marquee on May 31. She was much prettier in person than she is in pictures but looked really bored.

Saw Adrien Grenier on his cell phone walking south on Ave. B on Sunday.

Saw Peter Dinklage outside a bar on W. 4th smoking a cigarette with some friends.

On 6/7 saw Rufus Wainwright crossing 59th and Madison looking very scruffy and wearing large Jackie O sunglasses.

Anderson Cooper, 6/8/05, at 9:20 am. On the B train, heading uptown. He got on the train at Bryant Park, and got off at Columbus Circle. He had a bunch of newspapers to read, and he skipped right through the NY Times and started reading USA Today. Surprisingly handsome, very well-dressed, and very, very gay.

Saw Rachel Dratch (of SNL) on the corner of 15th and Irving, Monday around 7p. Generally unkempt, short, and lacking that goofball grimace she sports on the show. Instead, she looked totally pissed, but then so did everyone else having been caught in that random downpour.

Saw The Daily Show s Ed Helms on my block, West 43rd between 9th and 10th Ave, on Monday afternoon (6/6). He was wearing a blue polo shirt, blue jeans and an orange school backpack. He had bad posture and a goofy, happy expression on his face. He looks exactly like he does on television.

On my way to work in midtown 9am, cross 5th avenue and there's an emerald green jaguar convertible stopped at the light. Notice the car first and then looked to see who was driving? Little Steve of the E Street band and Sopranos. He was wearing a bandana and looked Jersey Tough. All I could think of was Bono saying " Artists against Apartheid !"

Last night (tues, 6/7), I was jogging in Riverside Park when I did a triple-take at some girl's great calf-length, army-green linen skirt and white-tank top combo. Looked up and realized it was Joan Allen, walking a tea-cup-sized dog. Body is amazing—we're talking sinewy arms and ballerina-bone chest—but face looks tired and wrinkly.

6/8 - saw David Caruso on line at the pharmacy counter at Duane Reade on 70th and Broadway. He was with a woman friend of his (she was picking up a rx). He was wearing a baseball hat and sunglasses. He looked better than I would have guessed. I stood behind them in line for about 5 minutes. He smiled at me and nodded as if to say, "yes, it's me, Horatio Caine."

Last night, we saw Gilbert Gottfried wearing a mint-green shirt in the window of a very loud Mexican restaurant, and then we went to Park instead because we hoped it would be less noisy (d'oh!) and Graham Norton was holding court at a very large table full of very loud and seemingly-drunk middle-aged-persons.

Friday (6/3), I saw Bill Hemmer roll out of Scoop NYC looking exceedingly attractive... I remember reading he was quite religious and conservative and down-home so it struck me as odd he was being all metrofashionable and shopping amongst the gays and liberal hipsters... but what do I know, I'm just visiting from LA...

On 6/7/05 around 7:30pm - I went to have drinks/dinner for the first time at Spotted Pig in the West Village. Blythe Danner (Meet The Fockers, Gwyneth's mom) brushed by me to leave the restaurant while I was standing at the door waiting for a table. She looked good except her hair was a tad out of control. Must have been the heat!

saw Doug E Fresh in the elevator @ 39 w. 19th on his way to an audition. he's one funny mofo.

Saw Kevin Richardson from the Backstreet Boys, with (or possibly being accosted by) younger blonde woman and someone who looked like her mother, last night near the Red Flame diner on 44th & 6th. I was just checking him out 'cause he was a tall, good-looking dude, but he did the whole "dear-god- don't-look-at-me-because -I'm-famous" move. Chill, Kevin; I'm not going to scream and throw my underwear at you. You know, unless you get me drunk first and ask nice.

I saw Backstreet Boy Brian (the one with the heart condition?) in Bryant Park with his wife and adorable toddler son, who was pushing the stroller on his own. The kid bumped the stroller into a woman's leg and Brian apologized, and made the kid apologize as well. He and his wife are VERY VERY blonde and much, MUCH shorter than I ever expected. They seemed generally nice and down to earth, dressed down and staying in the shade...

June 9th- while eating at Ruby Foo's midtown, Kevin Richardson and AJ Maclean of the Backstreet Boys were seated right next to me. With them were Kevin's wife and either AJ's or Kevin's mother. I seemed to be the only one to notice or care in the restaurant

In this edition: Russell Crowe, Billy Joel, Chuck Barris, Patti Smith, Jessica Lange, Heath Ledger, Topher Grace, Clive Owen, Juliette Lewis, Nicky Hilton, Adrian Grenier, Tom Ford, Keanu Reeves, Steve Buscemi, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Christopher Imperioli, Jared Leto, Ice Cube, Josh Hartnett, Parker Posey, Tea Leoni, Sandra Oh, Dean Winters and Scott Winters, Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa, Jennifer Connelly, Elizabeth Berkley, Lauren Hutton, Alan Cumming, Albert Hammond Jr., Malcolm Gladwell, Lisa Ling, Henry Rollins, Morrissey, Jon Cryer, Mike D, Philip Bloch and Karolina Kurkova.

[We'd love to put together a map of Russell Crowe's evening prior to beating a Mercer hotel employee, so if any of you saw him on Sunday night, do tell.]

So I went to Mexican Radio yesterday 6/5 (a Mexican resturant in SoHo) and saw Russell Crowe and two friends drinking and eating at the bar, he was very low key and scruffy but still very attractive. The waitress said he was very nice. I was in shock when they said he was arrested. Whatever, its not like he pulled a Christian Slater.

6/5 We saw Russell Crowe drinking at The Spotted Pig in the West Village until very, very late last night!

I followed Billy Joel and his wife down Prince Street for a bit on Saturday 6/4. I assumed that he was going to show her where Mr. Caccitore's down on Sullivan Street once was, but instead he went into the new teany.

Saw the one and only Chuck Barris at Mary's Fish Camp Friday June 3rd, he was celebrating his birthday with about 10 people, and sitting next to some young, dangerously thin, sunken-cheeked girl with too much makeup. He, however, was laughing and smiling the entire dinner and during and after the entire restaurant sung happy birthday to him, quite charismatic and looks exactly as he looked back in the Gong Show days but with gray hair.

On Thursday I saw the greatest rock and roller of all time.. Patti Smith crossing 14th Street and Hudson -totally grey, wearing an old ratty suit, walking with an older woman with white hair.

6/4 Union Square saw Jessica Lange walking down University Place by herself. One word, smokin.

6.4.05 i saw heath ledger riding his skateboard on smith st. in brooklyn, right outside the health food store.

I saw Topher Grace walking into one of the high class magazine establishments on 6th and Carmine St. He was wearing a very ironic and hip hoody, and resembled the rest of the houseboys that routinely shop at those village stores.

Saw Clive Owen at Starbucks on W. 4th around 9:30 AM Saturday 6/4 He's about 6'4 and was wearing a blue t-shirt and jeans. He had that just-rolled-out-of-bed-but-still-totally-hot look. He made the cashier chick laugh with some witty English comment, took his Venti coffee and left. I, meanwhile, almost shat myself. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy, and has beautiful blue eyes. I'd sooo do him.

6/5. Juliette Lewis at the Sanford Biggers opening at the Triple Candie gallery in Harlem. Later at the after party at Harlem Grill, her beau, Joseph Arthur jammed with singers Martin Luther and Cody Chestnut.

waiting for our table at peter luger last wed night, and nicky hilton came in with a short guy, Kevin Connelly, she was thin, tall-ish, wore too much liquid eyeliner, all blue head to toe in this satin dress thing, which was not what i wore to eat steak. he ordered two glasses of white wine. she was busy avoiding eye contact with anyone. they stood next to us at the bar for a few minutes. the boy seemed pleased that they were drawing attention. she was polished to a high sheen. lots of exfoliating, i imagine. had it not been for her very expensive salon skin, she could have been just another girl from jersey.

Adrian Grenier having brunch at the St. Helens Cafe in Williamsburg on Sunday, around 1. Snacking on a weed lollypop, he told the waitress.

Just saw Tom Ford, hyper-groomed, dark suit, walking into the GM building with Lauder/MAC honcho John Demsey. Alas, Ford's crisp white shirt was not unbuttoned to the navel as per usual. (Perhaps this is his "business" look?)

Walking down 21st street between 8/9th avenue on Saturday 6/4 i spotted Keanu Reeves at some graduation-type event at some school. He was talking to some lady, obviously not his lady, but some teacher or something. He was totally wearing Keanu-wear, you know a drab colored blazer (I think it was 90 degrees outside!) and some drab shirt w/even maybe drab corduroys too, unshaven in that Keanu way. Looking finer than anyone should in those clothes and reminding me that no matter how shanty the acting may be, he is KEANU and he is adorable. Seemed really sweet too! I telepathically told him of my love for him.

Saw Steve Buscemi walking down 11th street near 5th ave 6/2.

6/2 - Eating dinner at Sapore on Greenwich Ave. Some broad catches my eye with a big smile that I naturally assumed was directed at me. Looked at the rest of her face - turned out to be Maggie Gyllenhaal. And that smile was definitely not meant for this ego-laden lad. She was listening to an iPod, staring up at the heavens and lurching down the street. That quickly turned a cute smile into a creepy spaced-out hippy one. But who am I fooling, I still want to play kissy-face...

Christopher Imperioli on the Jitney 5/29. boarded on 40th street.

Was walking in Soho near Prince St. yesterday (Saturday, 6/4) when who do I see but Jared Leto, shaved head and all. He gave a somewhat hobo-ish vibe, as he was nearly fully reclined on the steps next to that outdoor Adidas store. He was in the company of some punkish, hipstery brand of Asian girl who definitely thought she was too cool for school. He was still hot, though- I nearly melted from our brief moment of direct eye-contact.

saw ice cube around 10pm last night (6/5) checking into the W hotel at Union Square. Nothing flashy, just a couple of middle aged body guards with fast food bags and a gently pimped out Escalade.

Yesterday (6/2) while walking down Houston I noticed a good looking, tall guy walking towards me, talking on his cell phone, and as we got closer I realized that it was Josh Hartnett! He is great looking in real life—about 6'2" or 6'3" and a nice size—and seemed perfectly content walking down the street by himself. It didn't seem like too many others around me noticed him.

saw a really skinny Parker Posey on the corner of 11th and 3rd on memorial day. wearing a granny dress, weird elfin shoes and her frizzy hair in a BANANA clip. she was carrying a food emporium bag and looking pissed off. maybe she was hungry.

Tea Leoni in Central Park 6/4 with her children, parents and dog, minus Mulder. They were strolling around the pond on e. 72nd

while eating dinner at the jersey-packed, ear shattering schiller's liquor bar on the lower east side, my boyfriend and i were rudely persuaded to switch tables so the ditzy manager could create a "four-top". being good sports, we agreed to move only to realize we had been bumped by a blonde-highlighted Sandra Oh and her three pals. ironically, schiller's thought they could make up for the obnoxious star f***ing with a free bottle of wine.

A twofer! Saw Dean Winters and Scott Winters from "Oz" this weekend at Village bar Fiddlesticks. They were with some other people and seemed really nice and down to earth. Wasn't crazy about Dean's hoop earring tho.

Saw Mark Consuelos (5/31) carrying one of his children down Mulberry St with the other two with Kelly Ripa following behind. They were coming from that street fair on Mulberry below Spring St. The kids had a few treats from the fair and Kelly looked pretty and casual in big shades. They looked like a very normal family on a family outing.

Sunday (6/05/05) saw Jennifer Connelly with her son at Battle of the Bands in Prospect Park... Very attractive in person and very friendly.

Elizabeth Berkley was trying to get a last minute bikini wax at Haven in Soho on 5/27 @ 5pm. It was nice to see the staff at Haven not give her special treatment, etc by allowing her to cut in line

Saw Lauren Hutton at Pastis last Monday. She looked good...a little nutty in turquoise parachute pants and toting a massive pink shopping bag from Betsy Johnson. Despite the long line she was seated asap, but seemed nice and was understated even in light of the bright colors.

fri 6/3 - spotted alan cumming on east 7th headed towards avenue b late night. wearing leather kilt-esque bottom, leather jacket up top. walking quickly with cute guy, about the same age. my boyfriend had no idea who he was. i heard him in an interview a while back that he was launching a line of hair/body products .. "cumming for your face" "cumming in your hair" etc. did this ever come out for sale?

Saw Albert Hammond Jr., or Stroke w/fro, on University Place with a couple of non- Strokes. As he was walking past a poster of The White Stripes new album/cd he stopped pointed at Jack White's face and started laughing. Hmmm ... maybe he is just jealous that the White Stripes actually have new music to promote or maybe it was a commentary on the similarities between the pallor of Jack White and Michael Jackson.

Blinker Malcolm Gladwell at Common Grounds on Jane Street 6/3. He and his 'fro were both shorter than I had imagined they would be.

I was in Fairway @ 74th and Broadway 6/3 when I spotted a teeny little Lisa Ling (formerly of "The View" fame) shopping w/ a basket of goodies. She was in gym attire: black shorts and a black tee w/ the sleeves cut off, which all matched her black "National Geographic Explorer" hat, you know, so as to let everyone know what she's doing now. She was also toting a bag from Barney's Co-op, but I don't know if it matched the hat too.

6/4 @ Bookexpo, I saw Henry Rollins hanging out at his publisher's booth. With two women, girlfriends/handlers/stalkers, I don't know, he was just chilling out talking to a few people. He was there for at least four hours, cause I kept circling and trying to work up the courage to say something not fangirl-ish. Totally grey and shorter than I expected, but I still wanted to fold him up, put him in my pocket and take him home. Spike Lee was also there but I couldn't make him out through the crowd at his signing.

Wow... I just got back from RUB on 23rd Street 6/3 where a coworker and I were stuffing our faces with pulled pork. In between bites I looked out of the window only to notice motherfucking MORRISSEY! How did he look, do you ask? Fabulous, that's how.

jon cryer, ducky, at boxcar lounge AKA lesbian bar drinking Cosmos late on Saturday night with a"bearish" man.

Sat. June 4th - Mike D. (Beastie Boys) considering his leafy green options at Gorzynski s Ornery Farm stall at Union Sq. Greenmarket. Promptly went home and listened to Paul's Boutique while I washed my spinach.

friday 6/3 saw E! / vh-1 talking head [designer] Philip Bloch friday evening at 18th street & 6th in Chelsea ... he was wearing maroon adidas-type pants and a prada sling bag. also appeared to be sporting eyeliner.

My husband and I saw Karolina Kurkova at Zara in Soho on Saturday afternoon, 6/4. I know she s a supermodel, but she didn t look all that great with no make-up and some rolled-up shorts. She was trying on a cargo jacket under the watchful eye of her big bald bodyguard/boyfriend(??) Very tall and thin.

In this edition: David Beckham, Michelle Williams, Heath Ledger, Rosie O'Donnell, Jay Z, Bo Brice, CLive Davis, Angelina Jolie and mohawk child, Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour, Jack Nicholson, Marc Jacobs, Jeffrey Wright, Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gisele Bundchen, Keanu Reeves, Uma Thurman, Jim Breur, Alec Baldwin, Tim Robbins, Spike Lee, Sandra Bernhardt, Leonard Nimoy, Woody Harrleson, Julianne Moore, Jamie Lynn Discala, Keri Russell, Fred B52 and Kate B52, Betsy Johnson, Adrock, Bill Hemmer, James Denton, Hank Azaria, Anthony Michael Hall, Isaac Mizrahi and Shaggy

Sat about 10 ft away from David Beckham today (6/1) at 1pm in the park in DUMBO. Skinnier than I expected, posed for about 10 minutes on a rock wearing his new silver shoes and a grey sweat suit. Honestly, I don't think he is anything special in terms of looks. I pray to god that he conceives a child in this neighborhood so he can name it DUMBO...

6/1 - Saw pregnant Michelle Williams in a Boerum Hill yoga class. She is much more fresh-faced and far less chubby-looking than photos of her indicate. She has several tattoos and was wearing what appeared to be a non-bling-y engagement ring.

Memorial Day I saw Heath Ledger walking down Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint. Didn't think too much about why he was in Greepoint because I was overrun with bravado thoughts that I could kick his ass...he's just a little guy.

saw Rosie O'Donnell at around 9:30 tuesday night heading towards park on 57th (i think she was coming from blt steak) holding hands with her partner, kelly. looked very butch and angry. her hair was a complete mess and see was wearing a vest. seems on the defensive.

Jay Z drew stares coming and going from Bar Pitti last night with a lovely mocha-skinned non-Beyonce companion...

Bo Bice and Clive Davis at Mr. Chow 6/1 eve. ... Bo looked like a fish out of water at the power dinner of all men.

I saw Angelina Jolie walking with her son Maddox at around noon today on Central Park South and 6th Ave towards the Park.

I had two good star sightings last night at omen restaurant in soho. Calvin Klein looking gaunt and sickly, walked in with 2 commoners and sat at a table next to me. Then, 20 minutes later, Karl Lagerfield (fan and all!) waltzed in with a large entourage of young men. Karl spotted Calvin, walked up to him and gave him the old double kiss kiss and had a little chit chat. It all happened right in front of my table. i don't usually get that star struck, but the man had his fan!

I spotted the fashionable Anna Wintour looking anything but....she was coming out of the Midtown Tennis Club on 8th ave at 7am on June 1st...She was dressed in navy blue spandex and had her tennis racquet in hand. She's really skinny and looks older in person... Even a good round of tennis couldn't wipe that scowl from her face.

This Saturday 5/28—sat 2 rows behind Jack Nicholson at the Yankee-Red Sox game. Wore a bright yellow Yankees cap, purple collared shirt, and sat with a group of about 4 other people in the front row behind home plate .This was the probably the most exciting part of the game being that The Yanks lost 17 -1.

Just finished shopping at marc jacobs down in the west village Friday afternoon. Turned the corner and saw Marc Jacobs outside smoking a cig at a coffee shop. He's really cute and as short as he is in pictures. Very nice. gave me a big smile and i said hello.

On Saturday night 5/28 I spotted a dapper yet relaxed Jeffrey Wright having a beer some friends at Moe's in Ft. Greene around closing time (3:45am-ish). He was so unassuming, I didn't know he was there until he happened into my line of vision while I was chatting with a friend.

Saw Kate Winslet this morning at the Starbucks on 9th Ave and 15th. She is gorgeous and looks great even at 9am. Had her adorable son in a stroller with her and soon a friend came in to meet her. Noticed she was unaffected by the entire store staring at her. Also got to love that British accent. I really wanted to whisper hideous kinky when I walk by her but held off as it was still early in the day. Maybe tomorrow.

Leonardo Dicaprio walking down west 11th street near his apartment (building above west restaurant) have seen he and Gisele screwing around in front of the building before. Was with a larger hispanic looking guy, either friend or hip looking bodyguard. This was Sunday May 29th. On Monday May 30th saw John C. Reilly dining in the Spotted Pig with two blondes. Looks just like he does in the movies, appeared friendly.

Yesterday AM saw Uma Thurman at a check out register at the Union Square Whole Foods. Tall, thin, as pretty as you would expect. Not lots of makeup, in jeans an olive colored jacket and navy blue t-shirt. She was talking on a cell phone and kept leaving the register and running back into the store to grab things as someone over the phone obviously kept requesting additional ingredients for something.

This isn't too exciting, but I did have a NYC sighting of Keanu Reeves and his new gal pal this past Sunday. I was eating at a restaurant on the Upper West Side (apparently, he keeps a place on CPW). I was there around 5pm, and sitting with my mom, cousin, and husband. We didn't notice him until 15 minutes into our conversation. To my embarrasement, we were talking about celebrity sightings in NYC. My mom and cousin were so excited, because they just saw Bruce Vilanch??? My husband and I starting rattling off all of the people we see in the neighborhood, when I noticed someone shooting me dirty looks. You guessed it, Keanue was not happy with our conversation. I turned bright red, and stopped talking. I immediatly whispered to everyone to SHUT UP. I then proceeded to mention that Keanue Reeves was sitting one table over with his new girlfriend, and two other friends. Since we were the only two tables that had people eating in the entire place, it became very silent in the room. We were uncomfortable for about 5-10 minutes, but then it passed. We tried to ignore that he was arm's reach away, for the next 45 minutes, and talked amongst ourselves. He did get up a few times, and my mom made eye contact with him. She smiled very sweetly, but he ignored her. He was very affectionate with his girlfriend, and held her hand throughout the meal. She is kinda cute, in a hippy way, and he looks very scruffy. As the restaurant started to fill up, he become uncomfortable. He left about an hour after we got there. I swear, when he left, the entire restaurant became silent. Once he walked out, everyone started talking about him. It was very funny.

May 31st at around noon. Jim Breuer walking down 50th st. near 7th ave, looking day-drunk and disheveled. Maybe he's been hanging out with his old buddy Dave Chappelle lately.

Alec Baldwin: Spotted on Columbus @ 83rd, just walking and cell phoning by himself while I sat having dinner with a friend at Isola. Came by again after a munchies purchase, no one recognized him, he has gained some weight, he turned up on 84 towards CPW

I just saw Tim Robbins walking down Fifth Avenue near Union Square. He's very tall, over 6'2 I'd say, and a bit grayer than I imagined he'd be, sporting some gray facial hair. He was wearing faded blue jeans.

Went to the first Yankees/Sox game on Friday, and had great seats...a few rows behind Spike Lee. He's insanely short, and his glasses are the size of my head. He kept getting up to go to the bathroom or something (he passed our seats at least 4 times). My mother (who was really enjoying the seatside beer service) started asking his son if he played baseball as we shuffled out of the stadium. He's a shortstop, if anyone cares. Spike looked terrified and pulled his son to him as if my mother was Michael Jackson brandishing an open soda can.

Whilst going 2 cupcakes over at the Magnolia Bakery, we saw Sandra Bernhardt walking with two friends and their dog eastward along Bleeker. She looked tan.

I sat next to Leonard Nimoy last night at Honumura An. He was tall, apparently vegetarian, and very quiet. His bitchy wife started doing a very mean impersonation of how quiet he was being, in fact. This is you, she said, and wiped her hand over her face and just glowered. Very weird. I felt bad for the guy.

Saw Woody Harrleson at 5th and 12th. He is a nice guy with a firm handshake and soft hands. Shooting a movie next door cinema village.

June 1: Julianne Moore walking on 14th street and 9th avenue and carrying an African Grey parrot in a travel cage... I'm not a parrot- connoisseur but my mother has one so I know that's what was. She was dressed waaaay-down but still she looked stunning...she's much shorter than I would have expected.

Spotted Jamie Lynn Discala getting a pedicure at a small salon near the United Nations Building. She is very pretty and seemed really sweet. She chatted on her phone the whole time during her pedicure.

This one is pretty unbelievable...I was standing on line to take the Fung Wah bus to Boston on Friday afternoon (the $15 bus to boston, yes the same cost as a cab ride uptown) and who do i see standing on line to slum it with the rest of us?? Kerri Russell! She was incredibly cute and casual wearing jeans and white converse sneakers (and no, her hair was not curly). She sat two rows ahead of me on the bus and canoodled with her extremely good looking boyfriend the entire ride. Most people on the bus didn t seem to notice her but it made for a very interesting bus ride for me...I never thought that I would have a star sighting on the Chinatown bus!

I saw Fred and Kate from the B52s at the Kraftwerk show last night. He was short, she was smurf-sized. It's the best sighting i've had in a long time.

Was at Lure Fishbar in Soho last night. As soon as I walked in, I saw mop headed Betsy Johnson looking crazy as ever, schmoozing with some young woman. She looked crazy. She had a purple jacket with lots of creepy leopard print. But I think she's still hip and fun.

I was enthralled with testing out the patio furniture at Soho's Smith and Hawken on Sunday when suddenly, I looked and was surprised to see AdRock and Kathleen Hannah shopping for pots. He was dressed inconspicuously and her hair was jet black and disheveled. I guess it's just another lazy Sunday afternoon shopping with the Misses, even if you are a Beastie Boy.

Village Restaurant, W. 9th St, 8 pm 6-1: Bill Hemmer, a Village regular, and Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom having dinner with friends. Both cable hosts seem unpretentious and china-doll small in comparison to their t.v. images. He looks younger than he is, seemingly naturally; she's more attractive as her more delicate offscreen self, if still appearing oversurgeryed. (Or is it just trowled-on Maybelline—in any case, can she actually be this Barbie-esque at 36?) I say this even
though I like her—she's a skeptic. And, like Bill, energetic. OK, I'm in love.

Saw James Denton in the main lobby of the Time Warner Center this evening. I might not have noticed him, had I not heard some tourists (?) say "Are you on Desperate Housewives?" He seemed very casual and polite and graciously took a picture with them. Definitely just as good looking in person as he is on TV.

Saw Hank Azaria in front of Whole Foods in Colombus Circle around 1pm on 6/1. He looked right at me as I was walking in his direction, had a pink t-shirt on and his usual lost/confused expression. Looked like a nice guy, but I instantly got that Professor Frink voice stuck in my head..

On Tuesday morning (5/31) I experienced my most surreal celeb-sighting so far. I'm at Columbus & 67th, leaving Starbucks on my way to work, when I spot a HOT young woman. Suddenly three paparazzi materialize and start snapping away. I stand there gawking for a minute, wondering why I don't recognize her, when I realize it's her male companion they're interested in—and it's fucking Anthony Michael Hall. Is there even a market for candid shots of ex-Brat Packers not carrying the seed of Kutcher? No, really, I'd like to know. At any rate, I should have yelled out "I loved you in Johnny Be Good!"

Played sidewalk chicken with Isaac Mizrahi (white pants, black shirt, good hair) last night on West 11th Street. He was going west, I was going east, and a big pile of trash bags necessitated that one of us step aside and let the other pass. He won.

Notorious party crasher Shaggy tried to crash the Central Park Conservancy's Taste of Summer event last night in Central Park but this time he tried to be legit...little did he know his crashing antics cost both him and the person to whom he was a guest to to both get booted.

I was walking down 9th Ave in Hell's Kitchen when I spotted the hand-bandit smoking a cigarette and on his cell. Time of sitting 11:20ishpm in front of Bar 9 on 53rd Street. I was unfortunately able to flee the seen un-groped, I guess jail changes people-all 2 hours of lock up.

Up-to-the-minute live SlaterTracking doppler map, after the jump.

I can't remember if we're campaigning to have him locked up or set free. Either way, watch your ass. -AP

Monday, 5/30 on Smith St in Brooklyn - Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger outside Rite Aid. She is pregnant - very very tiny, but pregnant. Later that night saw Heath alone, fumbling with his skateboard, on the cell proclaiming no idea how to get home and that he had no money.

While waiting for a table outside Paris Commune on Sunday witnessed Monica Lewinsky exiting with girlfriend loudly exclaiming how furious she was at having to wait almost an hour for her omelet to be served. Couldn't help noticing that she probably isn't used to waiting to be fed. By the way, I also waited an hour for my eggs. No celebrity ass-kissing there!

saw Dr. Ruth at Caf Gray last nite with a gaggle of annoying people. We learned later she just published a new book on sex after fifty (age, not number of partners!) so im guessing they were all from her publishing house. She s olsen-like small, just as tall sitting in her chair as she is standing up. Anyway, she ran over to the table next to hers and gave out 2 signed copies to the older women sitting there only 999,998 copies to go.

I'd just purchased a sweet new guitar and was walking westward on 47th Street There was also a line of people holding small dogs waiting outside a club...suddenly the door of this big SUV opened and out popped Martha Stewart with a rather fluffy chow in tow. I asked the people at the front of the line if I could keep walking down the sidewalk (since they were filming and I was headed towards the camera and Martha), and they said I could, so I did. As I was walking Martha was headed right towards me — her doggie sniffed my guitar case. I didn't look her in the eye as I was afraid of catching the evil. She was wearing a pantsuit so I couldn't see her lowjack.

Sunday night, 5/22 12:30AM Lindsay Lohan and posse about to enter the Spotted Pig. LL was wearing some bad 80s getup (jeans tucked into cowboy-ish boots, some sort of Member-Only windbreaker, you get the drift). I cannot believe that girl isn t even 21. Seriously, her face was shot to hell and that no amount of botox/chemical peel down the road could fix. Seeing her makes me so grateful for having normal parents to guide me through those turbulent teen years.

Saturday, May 21 saw Scarlett Johansson walking around the Bedford Barrow Commerce street fair. She was in jeans, a blazer, aviators and had her hair in a ponytail. Could have been any girl in New York. That's probably what she wanted. Then Tuesday, May 24 saw Joshua Jackson walking south on 2nd Avenue (near St. Mark's Place) with a girl who looked surprisingly frumpy. Have no idea who she was: girlfriend, sister, cousin...

Sunday night 5/29 Was having dinner at Blue Ribbon Bakery in the West Village around 7 pm and spotted Bjork through the window, walking down Bedford St. with a man carrying a little kid (her son?) on his shoulders. She was wearing an extremely fugly brown sweatshirt with spangles on it. About 3 hours later, sitting on a stoop with my date on Prince between Mulberry and Lafayette, a group of people started walking toward us, led by Benicio del Toro, sans that nappy greasy hair thank god, looking slimmed down and beautiful and pulling off a trucker hat. He looked right at us, and just as I leaned over to whisper, I was shocked to see Nicole Kidman a few steps behind him. She looked cute and youthful, hair up high in a wispy ponytail, wearing 3/4 length jeans and talking on her cellphone. Nothing like the towering string bean with Satan eyebrows as she appears in photos. They were with about 5 others and they turned right onto Mulberry. A minute later a middle-aged woman in a small group across the street was shrieking orgasmically, "I just made EYE CONTACT with Benicio del Toro AND Russell Crowe. Ahhhhhh!" (I was plenty distracted and didn't see Russell, but he could very well have been with them).

Last week I saw Jessica Alba with a large entourage at Schiller's Liquor Bar on Rivington. She's about one foot four and probably has to shop at Baby Gap and Stride Rite. She's also the only person in the city who still wears a trucker hat. Perhaps she was trying to shield her oh so famous face from the masses, but the ridiculousness of said trucker hat only drew her more attention.

Wandered to the No Malice Palace on 3rd and B, where an underage Amanda Bynes pulled out her fake ID right behind us. She may weigh only 85 pounds, but at least 60 of them are in her giant moon face. Apparently when you stop eating your head doesn't shrink with the rest of your body. She looked like a meatball attached to a string of spaghetti.

eating at Coco Pazzo (e74th) monday 5/23, lo and behold as we're seated to dinner, who is sitting at the next table over .. lorne michaels ... immaculately groomed, talking shop with a couple other gentlemen .. hopefully discussing how to make SNL not suck so bad next season.

saw Ms. Gwyneth Paltrow with hubby [Chris Martin]last night at "Broadway Barks" at a charity auction, hosted at The Supper Club by Beneful (The Dog Food) and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.

5/25 Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin escaped into a black SUV with heavily tinted windows and sped off down Bank Street. (The word on the street was that they moved out of their townhouse today.)

Last night (5/24) my roommate and I went to Jared Leto's show at the Mercury Lounge. Right when we were feeling totally lame for trying to relive our Jordan Catalano teenage fantasies, who walks in but Ashley Olsen and all her bodyguards. Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto in the same room - sensory overload...

I saw model and spokersperson for Hormone Replacement Therapy Lauren Hutton on Spring and Thompson. Goddamn, she looks old. I mean, she looks great, but goddamn does she look old. I kept on staring at her gap-tooth; it is mesmerizing. She was wearing nothing of note. Something baggy. Her tits or ass weren't hanging out—she's classy like that.

Was having an early dinner at Pastis with my sister last night (Sunday 5/29) when I spotted Keanu Reeves along with his new blonde girlfriend and either his mother or hers. They approached the hostess and promptly turned around and walked out. We assumed they didn't want to wait the 45 minutes we had to wait but around thirty minutes later they returned and were escorted to a table in the back. She seemed far more interested in him than he did her.

Alanis Morrisette came into the NY Open Center (83 Spring) the other day (5/24?) with a female friend. She checked out a bunch of books but left with only a handful of sandalwood incense. Dressed totally down and no make-up. No one recognized her until she was walking out. We all thought they were two pre-teens shopping while mom & dad finished lunch at Balthazar.

saw Rufus Wainwright amidst a crowd of uniformed military types on e. 4th street last night. it's fleet week . . . heyyyy sailor.

Friday night (5/27) around 8pm I was eating dinner with a few friends at Jerry's Restaurant on Prince St. Dennis Miller and an older looking thin asian woman with glasses and ridiculously long hair got up to leave. They were shmoozing with one of the guys who works at the restaurant. He looks way better on television. I guess makeup helps anyone, especially an old disgruntled consrevative like him.

saw a disheveled Juliette Lewis on Saturday 5/28 at the Starbucks on 9th Ave & 15th Street. Nothing too noticeable about her other than the sore on her upper lip - first Katie Holmes, now Juliette Lewis - is it transmitted via some Scientologist virus?

sightings on West 4th Street today (5/25). First I saw Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy strolling by- as others here have said, she is very, very tiny. She seemed friendly. Next, Maura Tierney from ER came by looking awful- tired and haggard. A few minutes later, Kristen Johnston (3rd Rock) walked by talking to Oliver Platt.

La Bottega on Tuesday night (5/24), Daryl Hannah and John C. Reilly dining with a whole bunch of people at a long table otherwise filled with unrecognizables. Daryl, who was luminous, chowed down on a plate of spaghetti. Guess all that horse-riding really burns off the carbs. John C. Reilly looked like a nice fella.

Was on the corner of 89th and Central Park West today when I saw Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick standing in front of what I assume is their building. He was wearing sunglasses and uber-tight jeans and a black leather jacket; she was cute, short, and looked a bit like a poodle. They made out for about 10 seconds before she got into a taxi and he went walking his dog up the street, alongside the park.

i'm glad the macauley's still count: was waiting in front of jivamukti on bleeker and saw little bro Kieran Culkin blow by me looking cute but highly ignorable and oddly holding onto a pair of shoes and nothing else. but no he was not barefoot and mad, he was properly shod. (btw still has the cute long hair from his wannabe-catcher-in-the-rye movie...)

Rose McGowan and some civilian dude (possibly a writer — he was looking to buy a 4 million dollar townhouse in the West Village, so he certainly wasn't a line cook) were seated next to me at Nobu Next Door on Wednesday. I didn't recognize her at first - all I saw was her perfect chest in the perfect chest-baring long sleeve knit shirt. My boyfriend told me who it was (he was seated across from her and had the better view). She's a lot thinner in person than I thought she'd be, but very beautiful and the requisite perfect skin. She ordered, like, nothing, ate less, and only drank half her glass of wine. I had two martinis in the meantime... Nicole Richie walked in toward the end of my meal and came to the McGowan table, "Rose!" "Nick!" They hugged. It was sweet. Nicole was so thin. Even my boyfriend, who shuns most curves, said she looked too small. It was kind of icky. Pretty face, though.

5/24 I was in the Village at Arthur's Place or something and saw Michael Imperioli hanging out, drinking Heineken, script in hand, hitting on women, enjoying a band. He was with another man, taller, who said his name was "Nick." Nick said he was an actor and also had a script. Michael was buying the beers and appeared to be tipping the bartender well. The band was playing old cover songs (Creedence, etc). This was Tuesday night around 11pm.

Gabriel Byrne was just here (2pm, 5/27) and it took us an hour to remember his name. Nice, but not much of an impression. We needed to turn to Imdb for his last movie.

saw emmy rossum (phanton of the opera) walking down 57th near madison yesterday (5/24) at around 6 PM. noticed a tiny girl walking towards me with a shopping bag so large she had to put it over he shoulder. she probabl y saw that i knew who she was because as soon as she got near me she put her hood on, so as to say "please dont talk to me, i know you know im famous". i will say her skin was unbelievable and she was tiny and rosy and i wanted to sqeeze her cheeks.

Ivanka Trump, walking westward on 59th St bet. Lex/Park, in front of the Williams Sonoma/Pottery Barn domestic goods empire, this past Monday, approx. 5:06 p.m. Her tone sounded smug, which was what got me to look up as I passed her. She's refreshingly pretty in person. I was surprised that a handbag was absent from her get-up. I thought all the rich girls carry mammoth and outrageously expensive handbags. I mean, krist, I take home $26K after taxes and was lugging a $400 one myself that day. Even if my beau got it for me. Still. Anyway the lack of handbag was hot. It lent her a certain butchiness uncommon to girls of her socioeconomic status. If I was gay I'd do her.

Spotted a very animated Roger Daltrey having a conversation with a man on the sidewalk in front of the Gucci store on 5th Ave around 6pm Thursday (5/26). Still looking really buff.

Saw Matt Dillon outside of Rao's in East Harlem on Thursday night...he was chatting with some /very/ mafioso looking types: one of the guys was wearing a maroon velour track suit. Does he have some kind of Family connections or something?

Isaac Mizrahi was seated two tables behind me for lunch at Japonica yesterday (5/24). He totally busted me as I turned to gawk when my friend pointed him out.

I sat right next to Albert Hammond Jr. and his fiance, Cat Pierce at a cozy restaurant on Clinton 2 nights ago. They looked very much in love and were discussing wedding plans! Albert kept saying, "let's just do it now" and Cat would smile. I couldn't get all the juicy details cuz i didn't want it to be obvious that i was listening in,but they looked excited about it. Another Stroke bites the dust! Sooo cute!

Walked past 80's flashback Hulk Hogan getting into a car in front of the Bryant Park Hotel. Skin tight yellow t-shirt, very very tan, blindingly white handlebar mustache, the requisite bandana. Really really big and tall. Everyone was staring. Have no idea whether this man still "wrestles" or not.

I saw Patrick Swayze in the lobby of the Reuters building. He is short, aged and perma-tanned. But not altogether unattractive, I'd have to say.

Saturday May 28: Comedian Geoffrey Ross walking by himself on Ludlow around midnight. Since he was by himself and seemed shifty, I assumed he was looking for some anonymous sailor butt sex.

I saw John Mahoney (he plays Frasier's dad Martin Crane) on Ashland Avenue in Chicago on Tuesday night, across the street from the Raven Theater, wearing a black v-neck sweater, standing at a bus stop with a young man, probably waiting for a cab. I wasn't sure it was him until he laughed—the way he throws his head back is very distinctive.

He drinks almost every night at Brother Jimmy's on - you guessed it - 93rd and 3rd (according to my friend who is a bartender there). You clearly saw the report on his asking someone for a Cialis in the bathroom. He apparently lives close by. He was almost certainly coming from there.

Another sighting earlier in the night leads to an intriguing possibility — perhaps Christian Slater himself is the victim of sexual assault — see the shocking evidence, after the jump:

Around 7:45 on Monday night, I spotted him outside Marty O Brien s (2nd and 87th) smoking a cigarette. Already pretty drunk. After a minute, some 20-something, short, curly-haired blonde chick came over and jumped on his back. They went around the corner so Slater could finish his cigarette and talk on his cell phone, while the blonde proceeded to cling to him like a life boat. After a few minutes, they crossed the street toward Elaine s, but I don t think they went in.

Here are two of Mr. Slater's confirmed locations on the night of his tragic misunderstanding. We will continue to solicit additional information. -AP

Saw Christian Slater pre-grope around 7pm on 5/30 talking to two guys in front of a dive bar on the UES. Honestly I didn't even think it worth mentioning until I saw the news about his arrest for sexual assault.
—
At 10:38 I went out to get groceries and saw him at Marty O'Brien's on 87 & 2nd and he was pretty far gone by then

Obviously, this still leaves a great deal of time unaccounted for. Mr. Slater was arrested at 1:50 a.m. near 93rd and 3rd — those three missing hours could provide the clue to where it all went wrong. If you or anyone you know has any information about the whereabouts of Chistian Slater on the night of Monday, May 30, please contact Gawker immediately. We're trying to piece it all together and make some sort of sense out of this tragedy.

Answers tracing the point where it all went wrong to somewhere between FernGully: The Last Rainforest and Jimmy Hollywood will be appreciated, but discarded. -AP

EARLIER: Serial Groper Christian Slater Arrested For Sexual Abuse [Gawker]

"I love Ethan Hawke AND Gawker. Are these 2 loves of mine incompatible?"
Or:
"Why didn't you run my sighting? I used to love you guys but now I hate you and I want to cut you!"
Or:
"Does Famke Janssen really count anymore? Yes, she walks her dog. Get over it."

Fair enough — and, as such, it's time to reiterate the "rules" (we use that term oh-so-loosely) of Gawker Stalker. Read on for the quick guide to earning our love. Memorize the following Black List, as you'll be expected to recite it, in full, for tonight's initiation.

THE GAWKER STALKER BLACK LIST

1. Ethan Hawke: We've said this before, and we'll say it again: Unless he's got his pants around his ankles and is haggling over prices with a tranny, we don't care.
2. Chris Noth: Yes, he's often intoxicated, disheveled, half-dead, whatever. If you ignore him, he'll disappear.
3. PR Releases in Disguise: If it smells like bullshit and we're paying attention, we're not going to run it. Chill with the hyperbolic adjectives and maybe we wouldn't be on to you.
4. Potentially libelous things: Don't bother. While writing something like, "Celebrity X was so damn dirty, I could smell her stinky crotch from across the platform," may make us all giggle, we're not running it.
5. Reality TV Stars: Unless they are the winner of their respective show within one month of the sighting, we don't care. Exceptions will be made for all American Idol winners and Clay Aiken.
6. Famke Janssen: See above. Ethan Hawke rules apply.
7. Mario Batali: I saw the owner of my local coffee joint standing outside her shop. Does that count?
8. Julia Stiles: We've all seen her remarkably flat face. Nothing special.
9. Hipsters: In particular, members of AsFour will not be tolerated.
10. Eric Nies: Do you realize that his Real World debut was THIRTEEN YEARS AGO? While we all loved The Grind, those days are long gone. Move along, people, nothing to see here.

In this edition: Gwen Stefani, Donald Trump, Melania Knauss, Jon Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow, Katie Holmes, Nicolette Sheridan, P Diddy, Frances McDormand, Liev Schrieber, Naomi Watts, Matt Dillon, Nicole Kidman, Jared Leto, Sandra Oh, Evan Handler, Ivanka Trump, Wilmer Valderrama, Ashton Kutcher, Kyle MacLachlan, Alan Rickman, Benicio del Toro, Stephen Soderbergh, Mike Meyers, J.C. Chasez, Minnie Drver, Diane Neal, Fran Lebowtiz, Eric Balfour, Joshua Jackson, Michael Wolff, Alison Sweeney, Eric Stolz, Common, and Pharrell Williams.

Spotted Gwen Stefani shooting a music video at my small office building/ soundstage in Chelsea. She's tiny and beautiful in person. Was dressed in a grey sweat suit with a bandanna and baseball cap, matching her "Japanese" back-up dancers. She hung out in the lobby checking her e-mail on a Apple laptop for a while and seemed really down to earth and cool, happily talking to excited random people from the building who approached her. Although she was accompanied by the requisite humongous bodyguard.

Saturday night, 5/21, saw Donald Trump at the Apprentice Season 4 crew party at Providence on West 57th Street. He broke his personal rule giving me a solid handshake rather than just a peace sign. Wife Melania was in tow looking gorgeous in a gold and white blazer. She wasn't down with the handshake so I pinched her arm. Then I got a huge smile.

Jon Stewart in Washington Square with wife and son (5/21). Sitting on grass surrounded by eaten buffalo wings, I hope it was from them and they didn't choose to sit amongst them. Their cute little son played with my dog for a bit, all while I had no idea who he was.

Saturday I nearly tripped over Gwyneth pushing baby Apple's stroller through Union Square. She looked like how you would imagine (or see in US weekly) with aviators and all. Granted I only saw her for a split second, but there was something very sweet about the way she was less concerned with being a celeb in a big crowd, and more concerned with getting her stroller and baby down a crowded sidewalk.

Maybe it was my AM pre-coffee delirium, but I saw Katie Holmes getting off the L-train at Bedford this morning at 9:00. Her hair was under a baseball cap and she was wearing jeans, big sweatshirt and ugly sneakers — dressed down even for Williamsburg standards... incognito to the point of screaming out to be noticed.

On Friday May 20th my friend was walking into the revolving door with her shopping bags at the St. Regis Hotel while Nicolette Sheridan entered the chamber from inside the hotel and pushed the door very hard and very fast, which in turn, pushed the bags up into my friend's face and she ended up dropping them all over the floor. Some bags flew into the lobby and others remained in a chamber of the door. My friend was upset and told Nicolette she could have at least apologized. The woman replied "Don't you know who I am?" It seemed like Nicolette wanted to start a fight, so the doorman quickly escorted her into a car. Nicolette's boyfriend Niklas Soderblom was extremely embarrassed by Nicole's behavior and apologized to my friend and offered to pick up her bags for her.

Was sitting in the "owner's VIP" section of Crobar this past Sat, and who walks right on by? One Sean "P. Diddy" Combs....It was around 6:00AM and he looked completely sober, ha.

05/22, around 2pm, saw actress Frances McDormand walking up Broadway on the Upper West Side with 2 children, who I presume were hers, since the little boy had tight black Coen-esque curls. She seemed to be explaining to them why they weren't old enough to ride the subway alone yet.

Just left Cafe Angelique where everyone was pretending that it wasn't a big deal Naomi Watts was in there with Liev Schreiber. He was dancing to the Beastie Boys that was playing over the sound system and she was sipping a coffee as big as her head. She's gorgeous first thing in the morning, and really short.

Last Friday (5/20), grabbed drinks at Double Happiness. As I'm waiting to order from the bartender, I notice a bunch of drinks on the bar in front of me. I'm thinking of grabbing one of them since they seemed abandoned when Liev Schreiber, mustache and all, comes to fetch them. He's hanging out with a Naomi Watts, a few other girls....and Matt Dillon. But Matt was busy chatting up an average looking girl at the bar and looking very serious in the process. At one point, some dude came up to him to apologize for his friends (I guess they were gawking too hard or something) and Matt blew him off without saying a word. Nice.

Saw Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts (together) at a matinee of Spamalot on 5/22. Nicole has the most BEAUTIFUL and FLAWLESS skin that I have ever seen, and she is not as skinny as you would think she would be in real life. She was with Naomi Watts, who was sporting a really unflattering headscarf and she just looked kinda frumpy....but I guess any of us would look frumpy next to Nicole Kidman!

this past Saturday (5/21) on West 25th Street - Jared Leto, not so tall and with a very short buzz cut, hanging out in front of the recording studio next to friends' gallery. Walked by him several times during the afternoon — he and his "band" were taking frequent smoking breaks — and he looked my friend straight in the eyes in that "you KNOW who I am, don't you" kind of arrogant way. He didn't grill my cheese at all.

Saw the "Sideways" motorcycle helmet assaulter Sandra Oh walking along Broadway and 60th St yesterday. Couldn't miss her in her diva pink tank top and matching pink Chloe glasses. I assume she was in for some Gray's Anatomy Emmy business. Looking fierce and fabulous.

On 5/20 was eating a goat cheese sandwich and sitting looking out of the large plate glass window at Carve on 48th and 9th when Evan Handler (Harry from Sex and the City) and his unmistakable bald head walked by along 9th, going downtown. He was with a smallish woman. He walked right past where my roommate and I were sitting and stared very intently at each of us in turn as he passed. It was freaky.

Saturday night 5/22 Ivanka Trump intently playing a buffalo hunting video game at Bleecker Street Bar with a gaggle of older-looking friends. She was very cute, dress-down collegiate style and had her platinum hair in a blunt haircut. Fabulous skin, obviously.

Was meeting some friends in town for upfronts at the Soho Grand late one night. Ended up in the elevator with Wilmer Valderrama, Ashton Kutcher and some friends. Apparently Wilmer had the penthouse loft which he could not stop raving about. Didn't realize how attractive he was or that he really does have an accent!

Yesterday I saw a well-dressed Kyle MacLachlan outside of Nicole Farhi on 59th St. talking to an equally well-dressed woman. (looking, btw, better in person.)

Saw Alan Rickman having lunch at Town on Monday afternoon. He looked old but hot.

Mon May 23 saw Benicio del Toro with Steven Soderbergh at the UN building posssibly checking out locations for the movie Che?

Mike Myers on Sunday 22nd may at Cafe Henri/Le Gamin in the West Village. he was wearing a nasty black hoodie, longish unkept hair and was chilling with his wife.

Saturday night (5/21), saw NSync'er JC Chavez walking in front of Rockefeller Center with a male companion. They looked very, very cozy. JC is much shorter and skinnier in person than I had expected.

Spotter a glowing Minnie Driver at Arlene s Grocery, last Friday. She was there for the concert of Second Dan, the lead singer of which, is her Australian boyfriend. After the concert the couple joined friends and fans in the bar. Just one word on the band: this guy Dan is really hot and to the great disbelief of the most a very talented singer. Dear Minnie, enjoy!

5/23 i saw Diane Neal, the red head lawyer from Law and Order SVU crossing the street on 37th st and 5th ave w/another guy. she was walking in a very self important manner in her red pants which made her butt look enormous. the rest of her outfit wasn't very flattering either. news boy cap with a black top. girlfriend needs some help in the style department.

Bar Pitti, outside under the scaffolding, 8pm: Fran Lebowitz, looking no older than she did the last time I saw her, at the Rainbow Room (seriously) ca. 1985. When not making conversational points with her cigarette, she held it, characteristically, in her right hand with the thumb of that hand attached to her temple. Weirdly, in this age of gentrified Bleecker Streets, she seems to be a refreshing bit of Old New York. Practically Henry Jamesian.

Yesterday (May 22) saw Eric Balfour of Six Feet Under fame rubbing elbows with the other hipsters at Cafe Habana in Nolita. He totally looks like the devil. He was with some unattractive, frumpy girl who dressed like a boy. They were seated in the window, facing the street. Walked by again about ten minutes later, and they had moved to an outdoor bench across the street.

Joshua Jackson was walking down 7th Ave at 39th this morning and I think more people recognized me. He is not fat, he has a tiny waist, but still shares the jowl curse with Katie Holmes.

Spotted on Monday, May 23rd. I was on 77th street, between Lex and 3rd...Michael Wolff was headed West, I was headed East. I imagined him to be a little taller in person. I'm 5'10" (sans heels) and he seemed a couple of inches shorter...hmmm. Interesting fellow...

Walking in mid-town on 5/20 when I was blinded by shiny dresses and little gold statues... realized it was the Daytime Emmy's letting out. I practically bumped into Alison Sweeney ("Sammy" from Days of Our Lives). Poor girl always looks so tubby on TV but she's actually quite cute and little in real life... just has no neck. Guess there's no plastic surgery for that, eh? She was walking with a group of girlfriends and looked like a decent good time to hang with.

Sat., 5/21, Eric Stolz @ brunch at Paris Commune- He looked better in person than I imagined (I am not into redheads), tall, kinda hunky- was with a cute girl, but was kinda checking me out (I am a guy)- at looked over at him (discreetly) at least three times, and each time he was staring right at me; just sayin'...

Saw the rapper Common at JFK on Saturday (4/21) at baggage claim. Poor dear must of had a mishap w/ his luggage as he had an assistant/manager type going back and forth to the baggage office while he talked on his cell. I wanted to console him personally but my super shuttle finally arrived, bringing an abrupt end to my gawk-fest. By the way, he is HOT (tall and very handsome in person) and in town for his album release.

Spotted: Pharrell Williams at Monday's 3:45 Ziegfeld showing of Star Wars III — in the lobby right between the consession stand and bathrooms (which were quite crowded) — having a very loud (read-everyone look at me, I'm important) conversation on his cell. Some of the phases heard: "My last three records were hot", "well you got the video dropping soon"... He was def. in an argument with someone.

In this edition: Nancy Reagan, Merv Griffin, Ellen DeGeneres, Trent Reznor, Julia Roberts, Jon Stewart, Derek Jeter, Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Janet Jackson, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Selleck, Joan Collins, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gisele Bundchen, Pierce Brosnan, Scarlett Johansson, Bono, The Edge, Bill Hemmer, Amy Sedaris, Paul Dinello, Matthew Fox, Macaulay Culkin, Mila Kunis, Keri Russell, Jason Alexander, Allison Janney, John Turturro, Jason Bateman, David Cross, Lawrence Fishburne, Jerry O'Connell, Rebecca Romijn, Alyson Hannigan, Alexis Denisof, Seth Green, Danny Masterson, Jenna Elfman, Gary Shandling, Malcolm Gladwell, Helena Christensen, Jessica Cutler, Les Moonves and Jerry Bruckheimer.

Last night I experienced my best celebrity sighting ever. I went to see Spamalot (very funny show) and was surprised that Nancy Reagan (yes, that one) was sitting three rows behind me. She was with an older gentleman (dare I say date?). I wouldn't think a show with fart jokes would be her speed but whatever. It gets better: I was with some people who knew members of the cast so we went backstage. In the small holding area, I found myself just a few feet from Nancy and discovered that her "date" was more of a "walker": Merv Griffin! Merv definitely has aged and looked very much like a rich Palm Beach daddy (blue blazer, tan pants, tan skin). Nancy looked smart as always in a cream-colored suit and although she does resemble a bobble-head, she is less fragile looking in person. Various members of the cast (Tim Curry, Hank Azaria) came to pay their respects but Nancy saved her big hug for David Hyde Pierce and then remained in an intense conversation with him for 10 minutes. What is it with her and the gays? It's all a bit too self-loathing for this homo.

Just stepped out of my office to drop some mail in the box at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Washington Square North and came across Ellen DeGeneres taping some kind of people-you-meet-on-the-street segment. Ellen was wearing an all-white suit with tuxedo-style pants and had a massive entourage in tow.

Saw Trent Reznor waiting to go into Spamalot on Tuesday. Which makes perfect sense because when you think of musical theater, you naturally associate Trent Reznor.

on 5/18 saw julia "pretty woman" roberts crossing 34th st on 5th avenue by herself. i was suprised at how "normal" she looked. hair pulled back in a ponytail and wearing dark sunglasses chatting on her cell phone, but her skin looked really good. no one seemed to notice her except me.

5/19 Just saw Jon Stewart with wife and stroller entering Whole Foods on Union Square. They were walking slightly annoyingly slowly in front of me, which caught my attention, but I'll cut them slack because they were in a tight circle, not sprawled across the sidewalk. He was lightly stroking her back in a circular motion with the tips of his fingers; I'm sorry, but it was cheesy.

Saw Yankee Badboy Derek Jeter at around 10:00 at Patsy's Pizzaria tonight on 3rd Ave at 34th St. He was facing each us for the whole meal! He is VERY good looking and tall. He was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a Michael Jordan logo on the front. He was there with a very attractive younger woman and another guy who also looked like a baseball player - could have been Paul O'Neill, but we didnt get a good look as his back was to us. He had an adorable smile and seemed really nice - he was letting a group of tourists (we think) pretend to take pictures of themselves, when they were obviously taking pics of Derek Jeter in the background.

Saturday May 21, 5pm - Spotted Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts making out in a park along the West Side highway at 55th Street. She looked pale and pasty without any makeup.

Saturday afternoon in Central Park, walked right past Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, who walked with a boy (14ish?) that I think was their son. I actually noticed her first (she was v. pretty), and tried to smile, but think I was more likely making the "i'm-trying-to-be-cool-when-caught-staring-at-a-celebrity" face. Tom Hanks looked like any other dad in the park, wearing shorts, a t-shirt and baseball cap, and was shorter and less puffy than I imagined. On Sunday, saw none other than Pacey (aka Joshua Jackson) chowing brunch with a teeny tiny girl at 7A. He looked great...tall, longish hair. They sat at the bar and kept to themselves...couldn't tell if she was someone I should recognize or not.

Sat next to Janet Jackson at Paris Commune the other day. She sat with her back to the room with hat and giant sunglasess with male friend. Her neanderthal bodyguard gave her away by sitting at adjacent table and refused any food or drink. The owner was beside himself, hovering about with gleeful grin. Overheard waiter saying that her check was comped and she left zero tip. Ever the class act, those Jacksons.

my wife and mother-in-law were walking past the Union Square W yesterday (5/18) when they both collectively spied Jimmy Fallon standing outside. this was immediately followed by my mother-in-law yelling "hey, it's Will Ferrell! take a picture!" nice. sorry, Jimmy.

A couple of good classics at La Gouloue last night. While sitting there a hot, tan daddy type walked in the door — and then I realized I was getting turned on by Magnum P.I. himself, Tom Selleck. He looked great — well preserved, but not creepy like Burt Reynolds. But then a better one: tiny woman, in HUGE super dramatic white hat and matching scarf gets up to leave. It's Joan Collins! She was with a stylish, very young cute guy and I thought, good for her all Demi Moore style, but then I remembered, doesn't she have a gay son? They left holding hands. Super cute. She looked botoxy, but really happy.

I saw Giselle and Leo eating lots of junk food at the Barrow/Bedford/Commerce Street Fair in the West Village on Saturday afternoon. Leo is much bigger and beefier in person than I would have imagined (maybe bulking up for role?). Giselle had a bad case of noassitol in baggy jeans but is very tall and attractive in person.

Pierce Brosnan, Tuesday, on Madison Ave and 67th Street. Looked like he just stepped out of an Australian tennis club. His butt is really small. But anyway - Some German (I think) tourists whipped out a mini videocamera and just pointed it at him. He stood around for a minute, but then went up to them and said, "Get that camera out of my face - please." German man: "what?" Bond: "I said get that thing out of my face, please." At least he was somewhat polite. Then, almost tripped into Scarlett Johansson as were leaving. She is shorter than expected (maybe 5' 2") but very beautiful and voluptuous in person.

saw Bono and The Edge at babbo last night (5/19). the edge came in 5 minutes before bono, and no one else seemed to notice him. bono came in followed by his goon. he is pretty hard to miss, despite being about 5'8" tops. after a trip to the bathroom, i saw they were eating at separate tables. i wonder if bono sleeps with his sunglasses? they are both looking pretty good for their age.

I saw Bill Hemmer from CNN's "American Morning" this evening at Da Silvano. He was joined by a rather large group of friends, including two ladies wearing a lot of make-up and plenty of trashy clothes. When I went to the restroom, I accidently walked in on Bill as he took a piss. Why he didn't lock the door, I'll never know. Anyway, as he exited the restroom, he gave me a polite nod. Upon entering the facility, I discovered that Bill had left me a present: he pissed all over the seat. And he apparently never learned how to shake because there was a small puddle of urine in front of the toilet. Did he just let it drip-dry...who knows? I'm not sure if Soledad likes this kind of stuff, but it was definitely a turn-off for me.

The Olde Village Street Fair in the Village this past Saturday was choc-a-bloc with celebs. I spotted 'Strangers With Candy' stars Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello working their way through the crowd and Fisher Stevens and his posse.

Leaving my building, on my way to the gym, I nearly opened my gate into Matthew Fox from Party of Five and Lost walking down 2nd Street between A & B, he was holding hands with a woman who looked 15 years older than him and they were discussing how hard it s been for him the last few years. Oddly, they were both dressed in black, not in a stylish kind of way, but in a we just came from a funeral kind of way.

Thursday night around 1AM I walked into Bar None to grab a drink with some friends and at the booth right by the door I saw Chris Barrett, Macaulay Culkin and his girlfriend miss That 70's Show Mila Kunis. Once people began to realize who was at the bar they started getting bombarded and they called their limo and got out of there.

5/19 at The Pillowman I saw Keri Russell sitting with a guy who seemed to be her boyfriend. Is absolutely stunning in person. Also seemed very nice and gracious when a woman came up to her outside during intermission.

Last night (5/18) at Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf was apparently current and former NBC cast night — saw Jason Alexander (as short as you think) and Allison Janney (as tall as you think). Not together. Later, on the street, friends saw Maura Tierney, but I missed her. Dammit.

Saw John Turturro standing in line at the Film Forum for the 3:15 showing of either Nights of Cabiria or that movie with the kid from Third Rock. He was looking like... himself. With a young or youngish lady.

Had lots of fun celeb spottings at Cain last night (5/19), which was absolutely packed for their Upfront party. At the table to our left were Jason Bateman and David Cross celebrating the renewal of Arrested Development along with Will Forte who my friend recognised from SNL. At the table to our right was Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luther from Smallville) looking hot with his buzzed hair quite a good dancer too. His one-time Smallville co-star Jensen Ackles was hanging out in front of that table looking stunningly beautiful.

Saw Lawrence Fishburne having dinner last night at Jezebel's. He is still looking mighty fine.

Spotted Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn having a quiet dinner at a back table at Rose of India on 6th Avenue on Thursday Evening. They had a large amount of food for the pair (is she pregnant? She looked a teensy heavy) but were very quiet and polite to the help.

On Thursday, May 19th, I saw wife and husband Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof (of Buffy and American Pie and Buffy and Angel fame) walking along Spring Street in Soho. They appeared to be either lost or just taking a very casual stroll. I noticed Alexis first, in a nice blue sweater and dark rimmed glass before I realized why he looked familiar. Then I took notice of who he was with. Alyson was sporting large 70s style marron tinted sunglasses, her red hair cut in a sort of a layered longish pixie. (I'm not good with hair styles!)

Yesterday (5/18) saw Seth Green (aka Dr. Evil's son Scott) on 9th and 26th. He looked SOOO much better in real life to the point where at first I was like "that kind of looks like seth green but that guy is a lot hotter than him": taller and thinner (he had cheekbones), non-red hair, and was wearing jeans, brown leather jacket, aviator glasses and a scowl. He was walking really fast over to 10th w/ his hands stuffed in his pockets.

I'm in Atlanta for the American Psychiatric Association conference (boring, but you get all the free pens and notepads that you can stuff in a Zoloft tote bag), and who do I see but Danny Masterson from "That 70's Show" marching in the anti-psychiatry and medication protest near the convention center. The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (aka Scientologists in disguise) were protesting the use of antidepressants on kids. Remember kids: it's ok to play a pot-smoking burnout on television, but physician-prescribed controlled substances are BAD.

Walked by Jenna Elfman on the way back from lunch on 51st and Avenue of the Americas. The girl needs a new hairstylist. Her normally stylish blond waves were frayed and stringy. I didn't know blond could be so... bright. I would tell you what she was wearing but I was too distracted by her new do. She was walking with some woman but again, can't give you much details. Isn't it weird how one thing catches your eye and you can't see anything else but? Oh, and she's tall and skinny.

Gary Shandling and a MUCH younger woman @ The Pillowman 5/19 - he is not attractive in person.

Malcolm Gladwell, A Haiku:
Thursday lunch alone
In Soho cafe window
Staring at laptop

I saw Helena Christensen looking radiant and shopping her balls off in Marc Jacobs on Bleecker yesterday.

around 6:30 p.m. on sunday the 22nd, i saw washingtonienne aka jessica cutler checking out of whole foods market in union square. she was wearing a khaki trench coat, a black skirt and black high heels. i was surprised that she was so petite. she was carrying a jamba juice drink and seemed to be by herself. she was smiling and looked a little tanned. i couldn't see any of the items she bought.

Tuesday 5/17 at Wolfgang's Steakhouse, i recognized Les Moonves and super hot wife Julie Chen. She's gorgeous, he's not. Also at the table was the fabulous Jerry Bruckheimer. All my friends were discussing his movies and all I could come up with was Amazing Race!!!! I'm sure they were all there to celebrate the CBS upfronts but they didn't seem too happy...

In this edition: Julia Roberts, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashley Olson, George Clooney, Hank Azria, Jon Bon Jovi, Uma Thurman, Michael Kors, Lindsay Lohan, Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio, Gisele Bundchen, Jimmy Smits, Naomi Watts, Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, Ben Stiller, Christopher Meloni, Theodora Richards, Jessica Alba, Mike Meyers, Pierce Brosnan, Jimmy Fallon, Elijah Wood, Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O'Connell, Julia Stiles, Famke Janssen, Chloe Sevigny, Kevin Bacon, Christian Slater, Dennis Leary, Kurt Loder, David Schwimmer, Tyra Banks, John Turturro, Steve Scharripa, Ivanka Trump, Adam Yauch, Damon Dash, Marcia Cross, Danny Masterson, Matt Lillard, Eric Stoltz, Wyclef Jean, Annabella Sciorria, Helena Christenson, and Al Sharpton.

last night at the Riverkeeper benefit at Pier 60: Jon Bon Jovi, looking somewhat leathery and sporting severely overprocessed hair, was there with his casually dressed, regular-person wife; a semi-incoherent Uma Thurman emceeing the live auction, quasi-aware of her rambling on: "i have to check with my boyfriend to see if i'm embarrassing myself." Andre Balazs, also in attendance, ought to have responded in the affirmative. she did look amazing though. super tall and just glow-y in a white-base, gauzy flowered dress; Christy Turlington, sans Ed Burns in a boring black dress (also chiffon-y); Cedric the Entertainer, with a very tall, Kangol-capped bodyguard (is a bodyguard *really* necessary at an event that's like $1,000/plate or something like that??) who accompanied him to the mens room; SVU's Richard Belzer, who arrived alone and spent much of the night wandering about solo with dark sunglasses on all the while.

ka-ching. Just walked past Julia Roberts crossing 14th Street at 2nd Avenue, which I thought was random until someone told me she has a place in Gramercy. I was the only civilian around who sensed her presence. Her hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail, enormous black wraparound shades which covered most of her face, long-sleeve black tee and jeans, and one (only one) baby attached to her torso. She was walking with an older woman, who now that I think about it may have had the missing baby #2 attached to her, but I was so zeroed in on a positive ID that I didn't really pay attention.

Walked by Sarah Jessica Parker on Park Ave South Tuesday, May 18 around 6:15 PM. She was walking uptown, talking on her celly and smiling largely. She had one of them news boy caps on — and pants... and a shirt and a jacket. (I pay close attention to what women wear!) Wouldn't be a legitimate SJP Stalker entry without mentioning she's petite, right?

I walked past a decidedly non-boho dressed Ashley Olsen and female friend on Laguardia between Third and Bleecker this afternoon. Monstrous sun glasses were, of course, in full effect. The two seemed inordinately interested in a cheap Italian restaurant. God only knows.

Last Friday night I saw George Clooney and Hank Azaria hanging out in the middle of the (Union Square) W Hotel Bar. Clooney was all decked out like Danny Ocean and had some surprisingly un-hot (considering he's George fucking Clooney) but very young chick in tow.

Sunday, May 15th- Sayville, NY (Fire Island Ferry Dock) Got cruised by an overly botoxed & bloated Michael Kors. He obviously had timed his charted boat's arrival at the dock to coincide with the ferry's so that all of us plebs could catch him being whisked back to the city in his towncar. If you ask me, seems like a lot of work for nothin' since his head shot has got to me at least 10 years old & no one even recognized him.

i finally ran into lindsay lohan. it was about 2am on tuesday the 17th, i was trying to meet my friend in some place called Butter (lafayette/astor)..as i stood arguing with Craig, the friendly but stern guy at the door, i saw Lindsay Lohan and a posse of people leaving. They jumped into the infamous black SUV. I didnt really get a good look at Lohan, cuz i was drunk and didnt realize that this was the pinnacle of moment of my life ( i previously thought the pinnacle was when i saw the guy from counting crows). I did notice that she was with a bunch of doofy white guys though. I wonder why she hangs out with such lame-os. next time i see her, im gonna see if she wants to smoke weed.

When I was going for my so "must have"-morning coffee at my favorite coffee-place, I barely saved myself from getting knocked down by a lovely, but in a hurry, Drew Barrymore. Two steps behind, the Sparrow (the Southside Stalkers-singer) came in the same speed, and almost as lovely. I dunno if they were in company though, but they were wearing matching hats! Drew hold one coffee-cup in each hand, and had one stucked under her arm, but she wasn't exactly looking tired so I assume that the coffee was for someone else. She's just looking better and better for every day, completely stunning!

Saw Leo and Giselle at Pearl Oyster Bar on Saturday night. We went in late because we figured we had a better shot at a table and were JUST about to be seated when we got bumped. Turns out it was for Leo, Giselle and her mom. The chef was really nice, buying us lots of food to make up for it—note to other NYC restaurants, that is how it's done! Then we ended up at the table across from them. They totally fit in with the crowd, Leo smiling, joking with the waitstaff, and looking handsome in jeans and a basball cap. Giselle looked very young with no make up but very cute. The waiter spoke to her in her native language and she and her mom loved it! So much for the super model cigarette and red wine diet, the three of them ate TONS: 2 dozen oysters, fried oysters, steamers, clam chowder, some fried shrimp thing, a grilled lobster and a whole fish. Overheard them saying they wanted to bring in friends.

Spotted on Saturday, May 14th, 2005. Union Square West. I'm dodging tourists and jaywalkers across from the Mickey D's, look left and there they are in a big black Escalade (*I believe....). Leo and Gis are in the backseat, superdark tinted windows down, Leo on the left, Gis in the middle——-looking way HOT. I stop cold in my tracks and decide to stalkerishly see where they are headed (By the time I decide to turn around and follow them, Leo starts raising the window, juice concoction in tow, I cross onto the SE corner of Univ place and 15th. I think they are headed toward 14th, so I cross the street and pass the Coffee Shop. But they turn onto 15th!!!!!!!!! I can't let this chance pass and turn around. I decide to pull a little stalkerazzi and start walking down 15th at breakneck pace. Luckily, they are stuck at a light, a couple of cars behind the red. I'm hoofin' it (*with two bags weighin' me down) and make it to 5th, but they are gone........a couple of blocks ahead of me crosstown....

Saw Jimmy Smits outside of Elio's on 2nd Ave. at 84th St. last night - on crutches - with a cute little hat on and cute facial hair - talking to a woman who looked very enthusiastic.

Saw Naomi Watts at intermission during last night's performance of The Glass Menagerie, on her cell phone outside with two women who were smoking. She looked great but no one else seemed to recognize her. I wanted to ask her if she had actually paid more than $20 for the play, but settled for stammering that I'm a big fan - she was in mid-bite of a chip but managed to thank me nicely without choking.

saw Barbara Walters in a bright red suit having a late lunch at Osteria del Circo on 55th this afternoon (5/18). spotted her from the back but confirmed the sighting after hearing her distinctive voice.

While trying to cross the street at Rock Center to suck more money out of the ATM I was suddenly assaulted by a ban of tween girls all carrying Build A Bear Boxes and Louis Vuittons (faux or no?) "That's her! In the Pink! AAAAAA!" they screamed while throwing themselves in front of traffic. It was none other than the Today's Show Katie Couric standing on the street for no apparent reason (no doubt trying to claw back at her sugary sweet image after being publicly ousted as provoking a wave of pink terror alert fear in the halls with her Minolos). A policeman quickly appeared on horseback to avert the traffic caused by the rush of tourists. And Katie smiled. Widely.

I was having lunch today outside at Eatery on 9th in (getting-gayer-by-the-day) Hell's Kitchen, and none other than Anderson Cooper walked by and smiled at me. He was looking great, but small, and very, very gay in a little pressed black short-sleeve shirt and trendy-ish jeans. His hair was less done than on TV, but I guess that's to be expected.

Saw Ben Stiller on University Place near 8th Street on Monday. He was looking quite shady, standing to the side with a non-descript gentleman and chatting it up. Shorter than I expected, which means that Christine Taylor must be extra short.

Chris Meloni (Law & Order / Oz) looking very cute, albeit a bit shorter than I imagined at the Gersh upfront party tuesday night at Bed. He stayed awhile and complained about the lack of airconditioning.

5/17 - was on my way to meet some friends at the Yard in soho for a drink and bumped (literally) into Theodora Richards who was a bit shorter than i thought but extremely stunning. while cocktailing al fresco at the yard, i saw Wilmer Valderrama and Seth Green noching.

Saw Jessica Alba striding quickly through Central Park with two big guys behind her. She has really short, blond hair now, well what I could see underneath her baseball cap.

Saw Mike Myers and wife waiting to cross the road on Hudson and Morton for the second time in a week. She was cooing over my dog and I was telepathically saying to him say something funny, say something funny and then when his wife commented on my dog s disgusting wart he said we accept you! We accept you! in a sort of robot voice. I didn t laugh, was too excited to discover telepathic abilities.

I saw Pierce Brosnan at the Whitney museum at about 4:00 this afternoon. It was this kind of weird Tim Hawkinson modern art exhibit, but he seemed really into it. He was alone, and he looked really good!

So some poor girl straight outta new mexico is out trying to get anyone to sign a petition to "stop lead poisoning" and nearly faints from an embarrassing, extremely lame, public case of "B-rate star power." It all starts when one of the few living, non-$100 million bank account holding, ex-SNL male castmates, i.e. Jimmy Fallon walks by with his crew. He musta been impressed with her opening, "wanna help stop lead poisoning?" His friends do the right thing and continue into the coffee shop in Gramercy Park while he stops to listen to her go off about 'lead' and also how much she loves him and can't believe he's there talking to her right now. Now get this, she gets his ear and ultimately his signature on the petition. It's nice to know even some stars have 5 minutes for the little people. When he was walking away the poor little girl mentions she made his day as she recently met Regis Philbin too. Jimmy says Regis is a great guy.

it was party time in the LES tuesday nite with a X 3 sighting: Elijah Wood, looking true to size and clean cut in a white buttonup short, and Donald 'don't get on the freeway' Faizon and Liev Schieber!

Two sightings last night (5/16). I saw Rebecca Romijn & Jerry O'Connell on Hudson and Jane. They were dressed up and seemed slightly lost. She's unbelievably hot in person. He was sporting a hanging cigarette a la Dr. Raymond Stantz and went out of his way to give a homeless dude some money. Walking onwards and upwards, I saw Julia Stiles eating dinner outside, around 19th & 8th. She looked whatever. I wanted to ask her to say, "I WOULD NEVER PLAY YOU LIKE THAT!!" but thought that might be construed as "rude".

Julia Stiles was walking down 3rd Avenue by 10th Street Wednesday afternoon with an extreme scowl on her face. She was wearing a pink cardigan of sorts and had on no make-up, which certainly didn't make for the best look. She also looked angry... Really angry.

Sunday May 15, saw the ubiquitous Famke Janssen with her dog in front of the Moma store on Spring Street. I always notice her dog first, and then her! She looked like she had some serious foundation on, that was melting in the humidity, but still so striking and pretty!

I just saw Chloe Sevigny at the Duane Reade at 46th and 6th, Wednesday 5/18, 4 p.m. She blew in and out in about four minutes — power-walked down to the pharmacy and back out the door in the time it took me to get through the three-person line with my toilet paper. Is it so horrible to mingle a moment with the common people? Apparently so. Her outfit was less hideous than I might have anticipated (black-and-white peasanty skirt, black tank top, white leather hobo bag, and an unfortunate pair of gray python knee-high boots), but damn, that's not a pretty girl.

Forget six degrees of separation...try less than three feet away from Kevin Bacon on the UWS, who was with two teens who could have easily been his offspring. Sad to say though his footloose days are O-V-E-R. He's actually beginning to resemble a piece of his last name, what with his greasy, stringy hair and wrinkles and all. Either that or a trucker. 10-4.

Saw Christian Slater walking west on 49th Street between Madison and 5th on Tuesday, May 17th. He stopped for a while mid-block and had a conversation on his cellphone.

I just drove by Denis Leary and someone that resembled Michael Madsen filming at Fabiane s on Bedford Ave. in the burg. Imdb didn t yield any clues as to what they re filming.

Saw Kurt Loder browsing the outdoor selection at Biography Book Shop in the West Village on Sunday afternoon about 2:30 p.m. Wearing jeans, blue blazer and loafers. Short (5'7" tops), ginormous head and cute, slightly elflike ears. Otherwise, he looked very well preserved. Looked younger than I'm sure he actually is.

was having an early drink at the spotted pig in west village when we noticed David Schwimmer. he had been walking around the bar for about 5 minutes before i noticed him - he was dressed down and not particularly good-looking, albeit quite tall. after he and his friend picked a spot they had a v. low-key conversation, and we forgot about him.

Was heading out for lunch today (5/17) with a co-worker and we were walking down Sixth Ave. between 46th and 45th, when I spotted on the crowded sidewalk Tyra Banks. She was on her pink cell and walking in the opposite direction. She was very dressed down, jeans, t-shirt, and a grey zip up hoodie. I've seen her in person before, but my co-worker was very surprised
that she wasn't taller.

We saw John Turturro shopping in the green market at Prospect Park as we were on our way to see the Basquiat show at the Brooklyn Museum on saturday the 14th.

I had a late lunch outside at Remi with a friend today (5/17) when what to my wondering eyes should appear but Pacey himself, that's right, Joshua Jackson, looking quite hot with a bit of facial scruff. He came alone and sat by himself - RIGHT BEHIND ME, I might add - keeping to himself. He's much taller than I thought and damn sexy - looks like an Abercrombie model. My friend wasn't convinced it was him, but I KNOW my Pacey...

Sunday, May 15h, 2pm; a Steve Scharripa joke: What do you call Bobby from the Sopranos crossing Warren Street near the movie theaters listening to his MP3 player? A fat slob with an IPod. What's with the baggy shorts and t-shirt look on a guy that huge?

Monday afternoon- Ivanka Trump trying to hail a cab between West Houston and Broadway. Her hair is a lot blonder than it was in that Born Rich movie. Oh, and she's about 6 feet tall.

Saw MCA Adam Yauch (from Beastie Boys) last night walkling up Hudson (at Perry) with worn red duffle bag in hand; sporting capris and sweatshirt glancing across the street at buildings. He looks old (sorry Adam).

I saw Damon Dash outside my office building on 43rd and broadway yelling, yes yelling, into his cell phone about not being able to get a million dollars from somebody. As he was yelling, he had a bodyguard in front of him blocking the non-gawking public. Oddly, also blocking him was a girl who was standing right next to the bodyguard. Could it have been a tiny female bodyguard? Or does he make his girlfriends do bodyguard duty when he cant talk to them? It was very confusing.

May 16th - Saw Marcia Cross by herself walking by Zara (probably coming from Bloomingdales?) on 59th at Lex. Hair in a ponytail, dark glasses, baggy jeans rolled up. She's not as tall or skinny (but still very thin) as I had imagined and definitely less angular in person. Even though she was dressed like a hobo, she's absolutely stunning - beautiful skin and gorgeous hair color.

So I'm at the 17th and Union Square West Starbucks when I spy Danny Masterson of That 70's Show fame and a guy friend sidling up for some lattes. As we are waiting for our coffees to arrive, I turn to Danny, look him straight in the aviator lenses and say "I'm putting you on Gawker." Well, believe it or not, he actually replies "What's gawker?" So I told him to check it out. Danny, if you're reading this...hi!

Tuesday, strolling near 72nd street (on my way to Tip Top Shoes, if you must know), I spotted John Lithgow. And on Wednesday, I saw Ron Reagan Jr lunching at a Bedford Street sidewalk cafe in Williamsburg. Ah, spring...

on Sunday on University Place, my boyfriend saw "that guy from the Scream movies and Scooby Doo" (read: Matthew Lillard. unsurprisingly "Without a Paddle" didn't make the reference cut). in a sleeveless shirt, with facial hair, seemingly on the way home from the gym and was "ripped".

Last Sunday (5/15) saw Eric Stoltz at the Paris Commune. He was waiting by himself up front. Not especially movie star-ish but easy to recognize. Had to name about eleven movies he was in before my friends could place him. Two decidedly unfamous women met him eventually.

In less exciting news, my boyfriend reports that Wyclef Jean is in front of his shop on Ave. B & 10th with his new band being photographed this afternoon. An assistant came in and borrowed a scissors.

I saw Annabella Sciorria at the Short Hills Mall in NJ on Saturday. She was tiny tiny tiny and dressed in all black and she had horrible skin. She was with some guy wearing O-twins type glasses who obviously fancied himself a celebrity. Not sure who he was.

Walked by Helena Christenson on Hudson (above Christopher) accompanied by young couple and commenting on "Brooklyn boys" (not in a positive way) seemingly harassing her kid. She looks very tan (fakely so) and doesn't stick out as an ex-supermodel as you'd imagine. Blends into the W Village nicely.

Was having breakfast at the Loews Regency on May 17 and spotted Al Sharpton pacing back and forth outside, talking on cellphone. He was way better dressed than those of us paying our own way.

In this edition: Quentin Tarantino, Jon Stewart, Nicole Kidman, Jodie Foster, Claire Danes, Chris Rock, Will Ferrell and the SNL posse, Alec Baldwin, Noah Wylie, David Byrne, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara, Pierce Brosnan, Jessica Alba, John C. Riley, Liev Schrieber, Sean Lennon, Ellen Pompeo, Marcia Cross, Rob Corddry, Mike D, Jim J. Bullock, Tara Subkoff, Fat Joe, Molly Shannon, Julianne Moore, Selma Blair, Eric Stoltz, Jerry O'Connell, John Mayer, Ryan Adams, Black Rob, Kerri Russell, Tony Danza, Steve Schirripa, Christo and Jeanne-Claude and Charlie O'Connell.

Yesterday at about 6:00 pm I saw Quentin Tarantino on Carmine St, looking really disheveled and carrying a Kim's Video bag. At one point he made a sort of karate hand move and told the woman he was walking with to "do it in a Chinese voice... 'like waa!'" as they walked in to Do Hwa.

Daily Show host Jon Stewart with wife and baby in stroller on Sixth Avenue. One fan was so star struck that he stopped in front of oncoming traffic to gawk at Stewart and brood.

saw Nicole Kidman at Sunday's (5/15) matinee of Glengary Glenross. She was with two girlfriends, over whom she towered. No one really hassled her, and she was all smiles to anyone who recognized her.

walking down 8th avenue in chelsea my friend and i spotted Jodi Foster sans gf but she did have a cold sore. after staring at the cold sore, i realized who it was. she's petite, thin but very pretty, even with the cold sore.

Claire Danes walking on 6th Ave and 21st in front of David Z. with large bodyguard wearing a security jacket and earpiece. Looked very thin and pissed off.

Saw Chris Rock tonight at the Nine Inch Nails show at Hammerstein Ballroom. He was rockin' out and singing along. Also saw shiny-headed former MTV VJ Matt Pinfield there, but does he count as a celebrity?

Last night, Thursday 05/12/05, was at The Other Room in the West Village when none other than the funny man himself Will Ferrell came in for a pint. He was wearing a lime-green and navy rugby shirt, cargo shorts, white socks, and black pumas, and was sporting a fro that could only compete with Kramer. Ferrell was not as tall as I imagined him to be and much thinner — must be all the soccer training for Kicking and Screaming. He was followed by Rachel Dratch, who despite being dressed in all black looked very pudgy. She was incredibly short and was seemingly still in her Debby Downer character. Horatio Sanz joined the two-some about half-an-hour later. He seemed much slimmer than he appears on TV, but it could have just been is oversized black Roots jacket and tan Capri's. The SNL reunion was complete when all four feet of Will Forte showed up looking like he raided the dressing room of the OC's Seth Cohen.

Celebrating the end of finals at Ino on Friday night, my boyfriend and I were graced with an Alec Baldwin sighting. Well, actually my bf was graced with the sight of His Portly Tannedness and nameless companion. they recieved no special treatment and left after being told of the long wait.

Sunday, 5/15. Mr. Noah Wylie with his wife and child-in-stroller, walking past Starbucks in Astor Place. Is that show still on?

Last night at the Fischerspooner show at the CanaRoom, who walks up to the VIP table next to me but David Byrne. I almost passed out. He looked great, silver hair all spiky and cool, all-black outfit, attractive brunette with him who didn't seem to have fake breasts or a fake tan. The hipsters all ignored him- not sure if that means they didn't recognize him or that they were just too fucking indie rock to acknowledge his presence. I hate hipsters.

Yesterday afternoon, May 12th, I saw Uma Thurman on the corner of Third Avenue and 18th Street. Uma was tall, thin, sans make up and absolutely luminous.

Had our booth at McGoverns (Spring between Greenwich and Houston) commandeered by Uma Thurman and cuddle buddy around 2am on Saturday night. She was very tall, (much taller than the guy with her), wearing jeans, a flowing hippie shirt, and not an ounce of makeup. Before I realized it was the real Uma: I interrupted her private cuddling with boyfriend to ask if she was sitting on my purse. She was really nice, and helped me unearth my purse from the mountain of stuff behind her. For another hour or so she danced with her boyfriend while everyone pretended not to recognize her.

Saturday night (5/14) on Hudson between Bank and W.11th, saw Naomi Watts walking down the street, alone. Until she was right next to me I thought she was just a very pretty woman who looked like Naomi Watts - I think the give-away was her self-conscious posture. She looked kind of afraid that someone would recognize her. She's shorter than I would have thought, wore a black fitted jacket and worn-looking cuffed jeans, and, while beautiful, looked kind of dumpy thanks to the baggy-ass jeans (sorry, Naomi! I love you!)

I went to see Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf this past Friday. There were quite a few celebrities in attendance, including Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Before the show started I headed to the men's room. On my way in to the bathroom I saw Jerry walking out and talking to a tall debonair looking man. They seemed to be having a personal conversation. The debonair gentleman was telling Jerry where he lived, etc. Right when they were walking by me, Jerry turned to the gentleman and I asked, "And what's your name?" The gentleman turned and said, "Pierce. It's Pierce." It was Pierce Brosnan (who, of course, I recognized - but apparently Jerry did not). How they started talking while in the bathroom together when Jerry had no idea who Pierce Brosnan was is beyond me.

Currently filming a movie outside of the Flatiron is Jessica Alba. She is wearing a trench coat and very high heels. They are on the fiftieth take of a scene in which she teeters past the Restoration Hardware storefront, drops her coat onto the sidewalk, and then starts to rip off her ill-fitting pink button down shirt before darting off camera. Quality filmmaking indeed.

Saw John C. Riley on Sunday afternoon. He was operating one of those remote control sailboats in Central Park. Excellent mastery of the craft. (Why does he get to be famous AND the best boat operator in the pond?) Had two real cute little boys with him and a petite, dark-haired woman.

Was standing in front of the Golden Theater on West 46th street, about five minutes before the curtain call for a matinee of Avenue Q, when I saw Liev Schrieber (who's starring in Glengarry Glenross at the theater next door) sprinting down the street. Liev, who was smashing in aviators and a Hitler mustache, looked like he was in a bit of a hurry. I hope he made it to the theater in time to perform, he must have been out of breath during the first act.

I went to an art show at the Melody Weir Gallery in Chelsea last night where I saw Sean Lennon, he looked normal and relaxed, a little scruffy. He seemed to be enjoying the art.

Stop the presses! The Olsen twins have a triplet. Ellen Pompeo was walking on Broadway and Bond this afternoon. Truly might be 75 lbs. tops-we are talking mini person here.

Saw Marcia Cross, Desperate Housewives, Sat. night at Longacre Theater/Who s Afraid of Virgnia Woolf . She was wearing a light blue cable knit sweater and black pants. Her red hair was pulled back and she was hanging with some older folks. Looked pretty crisp after a long show of watching Kathleen Turner doing the rump dance for three hours straight couldn t say the same for myself.

Saw Rob Corddry of The Daily Show at disiac on 54th & 9th last night for happy hour. He was chillin outside under one of the umbrellas with some normal looking peeps. I was gonna go up to him and start singing dunhnanananananaNAnuuuunnhhh dunhnanananananaNAnaaaahhh duhnUHN! to see if he d break into news-casting but I thought better of and had some more sangria instead.

I saw Mike D. of the Beastie Boys walking into a hotel right next door to the knitting factory around 5.00pm on Friday night. He was with a woman(wife?). He looked really old.

On Sunday after the matinee of "Little Women" I saw Jim J. Bullock at the corner for 8th and 53rd, looking very, very tan and stout. I think he was with some Broadway broad who I can't recall the name of right now. 15 minutes later I saw Madonna's baby daddy Carlos Leon jogging in Central Park. He waved to some large dude sitting on one of the park benches. Really nice ass. As you can tell, I'm gay.

Imitation of Christ designer and would-be starlet Tara Subkoff at the garage flea market in Chelsea, styling a companion who was trying out something that looked like a bed sheet fitted with armholes and a hood. Naturally, Subkoff gave it a nod of approval.

As my cousin and I were preparing to cross the street to go to club Babalu's on 44th between 8th and 9th (Fri., 5/13) she spotted a portly
fellow in the passenger seat of a nondescript blue van (think utility van) who turned out to be rapper Fat Joe. She claims he was checking her out; by the time I turned to look he was definitely staring at us but it was probably because my cousin was pointing at him.

5/13 Practically sat on top of Molly Shannon at postage-stamp Tartine on West 11th. She was lunching with a couple, and they were talking about weddings and tv shows. Molly said she didn't like the sitcom schedule and wouldn't do one. My lunch was more exciting really.

Saturday 5/15 My girlfriend and I were in the 7th Ave/8th St Citarella on late Saturday afternoon (about 5:45), and almost ran into Julianne Moore. My GF shot me a "did you see her" look and I retorted with a dismissive "yes, of course — haven't you ever seen a celebrity in New York before?" look of my own. Ms. Moore — who was dressed down in a green short-sleeve t-shirt over a long-sleeve white one, jeans, and brown kicks — did not appear quite as pretty as she did in the first half of "Boogie Nights" but looked significantly better than she did in the latter half of the film.

@ Kittichai in SoHo 5/9 I noticed Selma Blair, accompanied by her average Joe husband and equally average male friend. We paid them no mind and proceeded to do a lot of drinking and eat many Thai delicacies. Before dessert arrived (some excuse for a chocolate cake mediocre; skip it), Mr. Selma Blair approached our table and asked, What s with the flowers? (My friends had gave me many bundles of assorted flowers) I responded, It s my birthday. To which he replied, Oh. Well happy birthday. Then Selma, looking svelte in cute jeans, joined her man and nodded shyly, adding Have a great birthday. And that was it. All in all, a genuinely sweet woman. I got that from one sentence.

6:45pm saw Eric Stoltz crossing across 8^th ave at bleecker. He was wearing a green suit (?) and his red hair was in stark contrast. he was talking on his silver cell phone.

I saw Jerry O'Connell on Friday May 13th at Happy Ending in Chinatown. He was coming in as my friends and I were walking out. He looks a lot like you'd expect him to look based on his Crossing Jordan appearances. Slightly better looking. Allegedly his brother Charlie "The Bachelor" was there too but we didn't see him (nor did we really want to). Jerry held the door for us as we walked out.

John Mayer was in bicycle habitat on lafayette when who should walk in but guitar-pop-man john mayer. he was definitely taller and bigger than i expected him to be and had long floppy-ish hair. he seemed pretty nice and didn't give any weird "i'm famous" attitude towards the nice people working there. he appeared to be buying a rather nice expensive bike for his friend, which they promptly loaded into his waiting Porsche SUV. then i guess they went to his mansion in the woods or something. ah, to be young and obscenely wealthy.

Ryan Adams walking along 14th between 7th and 8th on Saturday afternoon 5/14. Looking very greasy and stoned. Also wearing unusually
short pants.

Taking a cab back to Brooklyn Friday night at about 4:30 in the morning when my crazy cab driver pulled out into an intersection right in front of a brand new silver Cadillac STS and a nasty, air-bag-poppin' accident insued. I stumbled out of the cab to see the angry driver of the Cadillac getting all up in the cab driver's face, screaming, "Don't you know who I am? I'm Black Rob! I'm Black Rob from P.Diddy's crew! You know? Black Rob!" Then he started singing some song to the confused cabbie—one can only assume it was his "hit song" or something, and repeated, "You know—Black Rob!" The cabbie was unimpressed. Then he turned and gave me his number and an invitation to a party the next night. Needless to say, I passed. Oh, and my back is fine.

Saw Keri Russell walking along Christopher Street Friday afternoon, Friday the 13th. She is tiny! She may be 5' 2" if you count her high hair, seriously big hair. Nonetheless, she looked adorable but very thin. She was wearing a trench coat, jeans and sneakers and had her hand glued to a cell phone the entire time. Stalked her for a block - no one else seemed to notice her - then got bored.

Thursday. May 12 around 8 pm I saw Tony Danza leaning up against anapartment building on 66th between Broadway and Amsterdam and practically shouting into his cell phone. He was not angry, just talkiing REALLY LOUDLY. He looked up at everyone who walked by. Skinnier than I expected, and he looked like Tony Danza but a little off - probably from the face lift.

In the lobby of 1221 6th Avenue on Friday 5/13, I spied Steve Schirripa who plays Bobby, Uncle Junior's lackey, on The Sopranos (I had to hit the website to look up his real name). He was having trouble with the security guard who, not recognizing him, refused to let him up to Sirius Satellite Radio despite the pleas of a Sirius employee who asked the eternal question that burns within all handlers: Don't you know who this is?

Christo and Jeanne-Claude ("The Gates") were at Khyber Pass in St. Marks Place on Saturday night. He was wearing his trademark glasses and kind of looks like Woody Allen; she has very, very red hair. The waitstaff seemed to recognize them, too, because we were having trouble getting the check.

Saw The Bachelor himself, Charlie O'Connell, at Hiro on Saturday night (5/14). He was with a big group of guys and acting like all kinds of cracked out, dancing on tables and doing the running man. I don't know which girl he picked, but wow, he's a winner.

saw Matt Drudge in the Saloon of the Oyster Bar approx. 5:45 - 6:00 p.m. last night or someone who looked exactly like him and wore a goofy looking fedora indoors. He was sitting with another man chatting and drinking light beer. [Ed: had similar sightings of a fedora'd Drudge drinking light beer elsewhere. We're going with it!]

Usher was on my plane this morning - the 9:30am Delta flight from ATL to LGA. He was chillin in first class as the rest of us pleebs did the walk of shame to coach.

Alec Baldwin was chatting up a middle-aged man on the divan at the top of the stairway at the Players Club on the south side of Gramercy Park Wednesday evening around 7:30. His face was an odd orange color, and we debated whether it was the result of a wine flush or a spray-on tan. His face was about the same color as my friend s old leather shoes.

Saw Leonardo Dicaprio and Gisele in Virgin Records in Union Square. They are both beyond gorgeous. They were both dressed very casual and left the store with an O.A.R. cd. Before people got the nerve to go up to them..

I was at JFK taking red eye to Chicago last Friday - saw Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen accompanied by a short middle-aged woman (40s) coming out of the VIP lounge area.

Brandon Davis (Misha s on/off BF) smoking a cig while crossing Park Ave at 62nd on Tues. (5/10) with another rich kid in a pink shirt. They were both extremely short.

I saw Anderson Cooper coming out of the elevators of my apartment building (41st and 10th Ave) on May 4 at around 1pm. Quite random as I'm pretty sure he doesn't live there. He's quite tall and very handsome. He definitely did the "I know you know who I am - please don't approach me" thing. I haven't had a chance to ask the doormen if he's around often.

Robin Williams at his (very cute) son Zak's NYU College of Arts and Science graduation at Madison Square Garden's Arena on Tuesday. The hairy man was clean-shaven and well-behaved. He sat through the entire 3-hour plus ceremony, only getting up for a short time, presumably to pee. At first, he was hounded by people asking for his autograph and wanting to shake his hand until security shooed them off. Surprisingly, he restrained himself and did not jump up on stage and grab the microphone and the spotlight.

Well. I'll be godamned if Kevin Bacon didn't just nearly bike me over on his two-wheeler, corner of 41st and 7th ("FASHION AVENUE"!). He was sporting appropriately-distressed jeans, a black leather jacket, sunglasses, movie star hair, and some wrinkles. Better get a helmet if you keep driving like that, Kev. I don't know which was scarier: almost becoming a tire tread, or watching the six degrees just disappear...

I was enjoying the day (5/11) and sipping a vodka soda at the White Horse when I notice this woman walking up Hudson. I was staring at her because she looked young-ish with a really old face. Weird, right? As she got closer, I was like, that looks like an old Jules Asner. I pried my eyes off her to see who she was with and it was Stephen Soderberg. So this old Jules Asner was, in fact, the Jules Asner. A while later Maggie Gyllenhall and Peter Sarsgaard bounded up holding hands. They were totally cute and unassuming and ended up chatting about food and restaurants with some people at another table for a bit. There was talk of Mario Batali and I lost all interest in eavesdropping.

Saw Julianne Moore talking on her cellphone at Astor Place and Broadway this morning wearing aviator sunglasses and a green army jacket. Seriously.

weds. may 11. 7 pm. 70th & 2nd ave. Chloe Sevigny. denim dress & black cardigan. unassuming denim dress, almost amish in its lack of presumption. no makeup. clutching several plump bags incl an hermes orange paper bag. pretty non-descript appearance, I dont think others even recognized her.

I was having dinner with friends at Le Zie in Chelsea and sat next to Rebecca Romijn (formerly Stamos), Jerry O'Connell and Jerry's parents enjoying a Mother's Day pasta meal last Sunday night. Rebecca is radiantly beautiful in a very natural way and I am glad to say that she looks curvy and healthy like a real woman (not scary anorexic like so many actresses). Jerry is taller than I expected and actually much better looking in person - quite a handsome couple. For double bonus points, Michael Imperioli and his parents stopped by the table on the way out (do all celebrities know each other?) and Jerry and Michael introduced all of the parents - very cute.

Saw Julianna Margulies at Bar Pitti this weekend.

Who would've thought that Julianna Margulies was a Weezer fan? Spotted her and a dude posse (hot BF—don't know his name but he looked familiar—and a few other randoms) standing on the VIP side stage in jeans and a black leather jacket.When they played "Buddy Holly," she looked at the BF, laughed and said, "I know this song!" She seems like a very normal gal. No one was bothering her and she is v. pretty. At one point Balthazar Getty walked up, reeking of weed, and said to the group, "Want to check out a few songs and then get something to eat? You guys hungry?" Sure enough, the gang took off mid-show, leaving poor Rivers and co. hanging.

My favorite sighting: "plus size" Sophie Dahl. If she's plus size, then I'm frickin Star Jones. Super tall, very good skin, big blue eyes.

Yesterday I saw actor Joe Pantoliano, the late Ralph on the Sopranos, at Fifth and 30th trying in frustration to hail a cab at 5:30. He had a yellowish wide-brim hat ( he's sensitive about the hair) on to match his fly leisure-suit look, and walked down Fifth in disgust as unavailable cabs kept flowing by.

Soho - walking up West Broadway on 5/12 and see Jason Binn shoveling in the pasta aside his wife Haley. Continually 180-ing to see incoming schmoozing possibilities. On my walk back approximately 45-minutes later, I had to laugh out loud - the butts now warming those very same seats were another couple.... The managing partners of ChebGrub PR... or is it Che Grub? Lizzie Grubman and Jonathan Cheban!!!! Perhaps this is just an awesome coincidence, but I have to assume that the maitre d' has decided this particular table shall be reserved for the desperados. Note to self: if seated at the most southwest table on the patio, ask to be moved or suffer the snickerings of staff and others in-the-know.

Imagine my luck yesterday (5/10) two in less than half a block. Walking to the train after work around the Time Warner center, first was Hank Azaria walking down 8th talking on his call phone (dude, have a pork chop you look like you need it). And then who do I see Jennifer Hall, from UNSCRIPTED. She was talking on her cell phone and caught me starring at her. She was much cuter in person.

Spotted Parker Posey in the Union Sq Wholefoods Monday at about 6pm wandering around the sushi section looking kind of lost. She didn t look like she was really buying anything. She did look great though dug the curly do she was sporting.

Joshua Jackson at NYU's Grad Alley around the south side of Washington Square Park. Was there for his sister Aisleagh, who's super cute, who's graduating this year. He was taller than expected - and much thinner - with longish hair and a scruffy face. Also cuter than expected in person, with none of Pacey's speech problems.

Last night at the Rodney Rothman early bird book signing thing at Barnes and Noble near Lincoln center, right before he starts reading from his book, Howard Stern walks in with his hottie girlfriend Beth O. I've never seen him out ever, and I live in the same neighborhood as he does. He walked right up to Rodney and starting talking to him and telling him how much he liked his book. Don't know if they've met before, didn't seem like it. It was weird. Then he and his girl hung out in back for ten minutes and left when it got too crowded. Did not yell "Baba booey" or try to get a homeless guy to rape a midget. Kind of awesome sighting. He's super tall and seems to be working on a goatee.

Yesterday afternoon on 18th and Broadway, I saw Cam'ron getting a parking ticket in his surprisingly not-pink Lamborghini. "Park in the tow-away zone, I don't care that car's throw-away, holmes." He was with other members of the Dip-set, although I'm afraid I couldn't positively ID any of them. There were several other cars/SUVs lined up behind Cam, but unfortunately his laffy-taffy Ranger Rover was not one of them.

Last night Queens of the Stone Age stud Josh Homme was in Niagara with his girlfriend Brody Dalle for the weekly Wednesday Night TV Casualty party. They stayed late, chatting with the bartender, and both seemed really into the "D-TV" (a collection of obscure punk videos mixed in with classic movie clips and live rock and new wave performances). Brody would have been hard to recognize if she weren't with her unmistakable giant redheaded rock star boyfriend.

5/11 - Molly Ringwald @ 34th & 6th. She looked springy, her hair was startlingly red and she was with a trendy dude (her young Greek lovah ?) She was on her cell calling someone collect and that made me sad. Was this what Steff meant when he said she'll always be nada ? You should have stayed with Duckie, Molly! I do love the 80's.

Saw Mary Stuart Masterson (is she still famous?) twice I think she's stalking me. My boyfriend pointed her out b/c she was singing loudly to herself on Broadway, then 2 hours later at the Pillowman, we look across the aisle, and there she is.

Saw a totally hot Julie Bowen (the chick from Ed) at Geisha House. She was with a sexy blonde and they were making jokes with the hostess about having a romantic dinner and being gay. A guy can dream...

Saw Scott Foley at Vintage on 9th Ave late on Apr 30th with a bunch of actor-types. Tall and handsome.

I saw Malcolm Gladwell upstairs at Savoy on Prince. He was at a table with 3 other intellectual looking guys. A few seats away was the Mortimer/ Davis clan, sans Tinsley. Wow Peter is cute.

today, 5/12, was standing in line in front of Emmy Rossum waiting for a table at serendipity. she kept looking around at everyone with a sort of "does anyone recognize me?" expression. she is absolutely stunning and flawless, but shorter than expected.

thurs may 12, 6:40 pm madison & 72nd in front of polo sport, Patti Hansen. goldenrod blazer & I think a yellow tee under. jeans. not as tall as i might have thought, maybe 5' 7"? anyway she looks great & seemed to have a suntan of some sort. what is she 45? she has aged fantastically, looks like total clean liver. yapping into cellphone, that was slightly unattractive but so common now. still its unbecoming when one is yakking away walking down street. great hair much darker than Id expect almost a golden brown, but very well styled & full, much darker than her modelling blonde. very very attractive woman.

Yesterday (5/10) saw Roger Bart, Desperate Housewife, in front of Housing Works on Columbus Ave. He was chatting away on his cell phone and looked a little bit more tan than he does on the show.

Saw Martha Stewart dining on shake burgers and taxi dogs at the shake shack in madison square park on sunday...and yes, i could see the large lump of her ankle "bracelet" through her baggy pants.

Saturday afternoon I was picking up a book at the Barnes & Noble 68th Street and almost fell over upon locking eyes with Batman himself. Christian Bale. Something about making eye contact with a summer-blockbuster-action-star really leaves an impression on you. He was wearing a backward cap, dirty, white, long-sleeved t-shirt, track pants and sneakers.

Saw Matthew Broderick walking up Charles Street with baby in tow.

While enjoying a cold brew at White Horse, Sarah Jessica Parker walked by carrying Gristedes bags. (Stars are just like us)

Saw Matt Damon and his girlfriend at White Horse sitting in the back at a table with friends. He was wearing a Red Sox hat.

Jodie Foster gallery-hopping on West 24th Street. She's tiny! Walking around with a blonde (girl?)friend about her age.

I saw Anna Wintour at around 4:30 get out of a car and walk quickly into her house on Sullivan Street. There were clear plastic bags of discarded boxwood trees outside, I guess props from a privately staged Lagerfeld dinner.

I know this isn't a NYC sighting, but I was in LA last week and saw Lindsay Lohan at Mr. Chow. And surprise! As usual, she didn't eat much and hit the bathroom about 150 times. She was so freakishly skinny that it was painful to look at her.

Saw Jessica Alba strutting her stuff down 23rd Street on Friday May 6th at around midnight. She was working her thing looking at everybody with the "Ya I'm Jessica Alba, back off stare." She had a entourage of about 10 ugly guys all walking on her heels. I've always thought she was hot, but her blonde hair color is awful for her complexion. She was super tall.

Just ran into P. Diddy on 5th Ave walking into the Sean Jean store. He was on his cell phone looking pretty serious. Maybe sales are slipping. He's actually a big kid...Almost as big as his two bodyguards.

Saw Beyonce and Jay-Z last night(5/9/05) at Bar Pitti. They were seated in the back and when they came outside to leave she smiled and Jay went over to Da Silvano to say hi to Denzel Washington. All the while the paparazzi, which seem to have come out of nowhere, went wild. Then the happy couple preceded to get into their Maybach, but not before Jay waved to the eaters. Once inside the car a shade expanded on Beyonce's window and they drove away. She was in a long orange flowy skirt, and her hair was straight.

I thought it was a weird coincidence that I saw Teen People's flamboyant fashion guy, Jorge Ramon, at Bar Pitti the other night, right after I saw him talking about some teen hotties on TV. Weirder still? Beyonce walked in with the Jiggaman, at which point she promptly made a bee line to Jorge's table and gave him a huge hug. The BFF-ness continued until she and her surprisingly tall man were whisked to a table in the back.

Friday - Jay Z at Marquee with a bunch of men in suits sitting in the corner banquette upstairs. They looked more boardroom than night club.

So I was walking to the Parsons Fashion Show on the Piers this afternoon [5/09], when suddenly I see this huge GMC type truck drop off 3 men. There were two huge bodyguard type guys with a smaller man in the middle. All three men were in Rocawear and the smaller guy in the middle had a white baggy shirt, big rocawear basketball shorts, and high white socks with adidas type flipflops. When I saw the yellow canary diamond earrings I knew it had to be none other than Damon Dash. And it was, except he wasn't going into the fashion show, he was going to the Spa and Club on Pier 60.

Saw Daniel Day-Lewis at Piadina in the West Village on Sunday early evening, with one child and an older woman (mother?) in tow. One young woman at our table spotted him coming through on the way to back room, told her mother (in town from Tennessee), who quickly had to head to the bathroom with another friend to gawk a bit. Mom agreed it was a great mother's day present, but daughter was the one awarded with a quick smile from the man on his way out after dinner. His beard and long hair made me question the ID, but the females at the table said "no question about it, something about the slope of his shoulder."

Saw Steven Tyler at Barney's checking out some socks with his pose' on Saturday, legs as big as my forearms and looked like
he brushed his hair with a pillow.

I was just eating lunch at Austin's Cafe (34th and Park) and who walks in but Keri Russell. She was totally adorable in person and looked beautiful. No one seemed to recognize her, or if they did, they tried not to show it (like moi). She ate a salad and "canoodled" with a cute and scruffy dark-haired guy. Seemed very happy and definitely into him.

Was at the Okkervil River/Earlimart show at Bowery Ballroom on Friday, and in walks Scott Speedman with some cute-looking blonde girl. He was dressed in typical "Ben" garb (dark hipster jacket and pants) and his hair was long and slicked back- overall he looked pretty hot. He seemed sincerely interested in watching Okkervil's set with the ladyfriend he was accompanying, but then some idiot asked him for his autograph IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOW and so he soon thereafter disappeared. Who could blame him?

Just saw Joe Simpson walking down 58th street along sixth on my way to the dentist. looks just as he does on tv—smarmy. preacher joe had his hair all gelled, diamond earring, reading his blackberry. he was walking with a rather confused and slightly trembling, tall, skinny man/boy. joe was wearing his ubiquitous waffle type white long sleeve tee, without an undershirt, so his man boobs could be seen.

Alan Cumming walks in on me while I am peeing at Le Gamin on East Fifth street, the most adorable little girl starts running back and forth in the cafe and playing hide and seek with me. As i was leaving, i saw the little girl and looked at her mom and told her she was adorable, before i realized i was talking to Molly Ringwald! her kid is so adorable. we played high five and peekaboo. after molly leaves, I ask a couple of people in the cafe if that was indeed molly ringwald and the guy at the counter says, "i don't know who molly ringwald is." !!!!!!!!!!!

Molly Shannon brunching it up with the rest of us on May 7th at Paris Commune. She had her 2 kids in tow and was super friendly to the peeps who came up and told her they loved her work.

A few hours later, on our way to the Chelsea Market, spotted Steve Miranda s boy from Sex & the City David Eigenberg. He was walking down 18th Street (just west of 8th Avenue), wearing some sort of just played basketball outfit. Quite short, accompanied by an extremely skinny but not too remarkable blonde

Saw Famke Janssen walking her dog (doesn't everyone?!) - crossing 6th avenue at king street - 5/5. She looked really good this time, wearing a flowy green dress. Also on 6th, Camryn Manheim - she's still fat.

On Saturday, I went to Northsix in Brooklyn to see Shearwater open for the Mountain Goats. After the show, who should I see at the T-shirt/CD table but indie queen Lili Taylor. We left after the show and ran into Lili and her friend again at the Bedford Avenue L stop. We all got on the L heading to Manhattan and left them at Union Square.

Monday evening 5/9 on houston and lafayette, I saw Sean Lennon walking eastward with two or three people — he was wearing a brown pin-striped suit and round eye glasses, and looked extremely scraggly with wild hair and an unkempt beard.. was not very tall.

Saw Selma Blair, sporting a bizarre spray tan, oddly hippyish outfit and anxious, slightly crazed look on her face as she smoked a cigarette for all it was worth while walking south on West Broadway.

I saw Julia Stiles at Bleecker and Thompson on Mother's Day a bit after noon. She was holding a flowerpot in one hand and a bouquet in another, and girlfriend looked like she had a rough Saturday night—she had huge bags under her eyes and was wearing no makeup to cover them up. Also, she was much shorter than I had expected.

Saw John Hensley, Famke Janssen's son on Nip Tuck, late night Friday on Orchard Street, he was very attractive and uber nice after I recognized him.

Saturday May 7...while dining at /Hell's Kitchen/ on 9th, spotted Elizabeth Berkley of Saved By the Bell fame...she looked very tan and wore way too much make up...dined by herself and made numerous phone calls and read what looked like a script...

I saw Gaby Hoffman tonight (5/8) at a screening of "Mysterious Skin" at the Film Forum... (and please, it may not be an Olsen-caliber sighting but I know there are people out there who will appreciate this—you may remember the Gabster from the early '90s (This Is My Life, Now and Then...)

Had two quasi-celebrity sightings today, 5/9. I was enjoying the warm weather at Jane on Houston when Sandra Bernhardt strolled by with another woman. Much to my surprise, she looked like any other 40ish woman that works in a business casual office out for a lunchtime walk. Her ever present snarl on TV was barely noticeable in person. About ten minutes later, Chris Robinson walked by with two other guys. Not surprisingly, he looked like a bear that just came out hibernation... his beard was out of control (seriously, he needs to prune that thing) and malnourished (does he eat?).

Around 4:30pm today, getting my toenails done at Nails Niobe. I look down to see these brown feet with brown painted nails, look up and it s PADMA LAKSHMI! She is more gorgeous in real life than she is in pictures. Rushdie scored her a gigantic engagement ring, square, vibrant, and enormous.

I saw jeffrey tambor standing outside barnes and noble in union square by himself today- he was wearing a baseball hat and sunglasses and seeemed to be trying to look inconspicuous.

Saw John Currin and his wife Rachel Feinstein on greenwich st. saturday evening. she is even more beautiful in person and was complaining about having a "sugar headache". I was hoping he would stop in his tracks and beg to paint me. no luck- he was too busy pushing their disgustingly adorable child's along in a stroller.

Saw Constantine Maroulis hanging out with John Turturro on Saturday (5/7) at 4 pm in midtown. Constantine was decked out in a leather jacket, shades and chest-out strut (natch), and Turturro looked like Turturro. They parted ways when Connie went into a bar and Turturro escorted his young female companion into an italian restaurant.

Last Thursday ( May 5) I had the privilege of being my friend's plus one at a screening of Return of the Sith and who do I see but Jabba the Hut herself, Star Jones. I saw a quick profile of her face and then she sat down but you can not mistake that nails on chalkboard voice. I said to my friend, she looks teeny tiny from behind. Her hair, from behind looked as if animals had been feasting as it had not seen a brush since on the View set that morning. I can report that Star could not have had her stomach stapled because the size of her gunt (the area below her chest to just above her vagina) was ENORMOUS! I almost burst out laughing as she gives off a completely different size when "viewed" from the front. I must also add that she was allowed to bring her camera cell phone into the theater where us mere mortals had to have ours checked. And no I actually did not see her inhale any food.

Spotted Malcolm Gladwell heading into the Equinox on Greenwich Ave last night. He may be one of the least attractive people on the planet. Will someone please save him from that hair?!?!

Saw Christy Turlington walking out of Central Park and towards (I'll just bet) the Reebock Gym. She was with a baby in a stroller, a nanny/assistant and a young girl, maybe around six, whom Christy informed that all dogs can speak.

Just saw Helena Christenson walking up Hudson Street (right above Christopher). For the record, she no longer looks like a super model. Was noticeably tan, and could blend in as any W Village aging (rich) woman.

Saw model Erin Wasson walking down broadway on monday (near spring street). she was wearing a top that was completely cut down to her navel which showed off her concave stomach and non existent chest-age. she was stunning. she was with a normalish looking guy who was holding one of those mini weenie dogs.

Saw model Gemma Ward, who is very (very!) tall, more so then in pictures, in the 8th Avenue / 14th Street subway station. Does every new model live in Williamsburg? Ask yourselves that.

I overheard Peter Hook (New Order) at the after party on thursday at Hiro Ballroom telling one of the GBH promoters how the NY crowd at the Hammerstein concert was much more laid back and tamed compared to the Chicago crowd. The Chicago crowd was mad (english lingo for crazy)...While ordering 12 suger-free Red Bulls but no alcohol before his DJ set.

On 74th and Fifth spotted Pale Male circling his newly spiffed and (legally as well as contruction-wise) supported nest. He did not cause a ruckus with any passersby; even Paula Zahn and Bruce Wasserstein maintained a respectful distance. Then again they have restraining orders.

This week: Elle McPherson, Leo and Giselle, Martha Stewart hardly working, Michael Rappaport, Anthony Anderson, Vanessa Carlton and Steven Jenkins, David Eigenberg, Shandi from ANTM, Janeane Garofalo, Big Pussy, Clare Danes and Billy Crudup "talk deeply" about art at MOMA, Luke Wilson, Barbara Walters overhears in New York, Julia Stiles, Karl Lagerfeld, B.D. Wong, Don Cheadle, Larenz Tate, Rev. Al Sharpton, Anderson Cooper, Famke Janssen, Olivia Newton-John, Bernadette Peters, Mariska Hargitay, Hugh Jackman, Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy, Reese Witherspoon, Jai Rodriguez, Domenic Moneghan (the Hobbit from "Lost"!), Elizabeth Berkley, James Lipton, Kerri Russell, and David Hyde Pierce.

Last Sunday afternoon (May 1) I was in the dressing room at Scoop in Soho, when Elle MacPherson walked in with some hot guy. She looked disgustingly good...tight jeans, boots, fur vest, the whole supermodel look. She was very friendly, trying on and squeezing into Levi's and a couple other things; she was in and out pretty quick.

Last Thursday May 5 at about 9:45 PM, me and my friend went to Spice Market and who do we see but Leo DiCaprio and Gisele Bundchen - they're both beautiful. She has super long gorgeous hair; his hair was pretty short, and he still looks like he should be carded.

So my friend and I are waiting to pick up our order at the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park when I notice a blond woman walk up to thank the counter staff and say how great things were. It's Martha Stewart ... and with only one bearded, gay assistant. I tried to get a look at the ankle bracelet, but her pants didn't ride up so far. She did stop to pet someone's dog and then was off. Had a camera in her hand ... I suppose to make it look more like she was "working" and not just lolly-gagging around the city on a nice day.

Yesterday, May 5th I saw Goldie Hawn in the Lobby of the News Corp building. She was wearing a white suit and looked beautiful. Then on the corner of 45th and 5th around 6 p.m I spotted Michael Rappaport and Anthony Anderson chatting on the corner and looking at pictures in Rappaport's camera. Rappaport was wearing a black Yankee baseball cap. It looked like they had just bumped into each other on the street. I was going to tell Rappaport that I enjoyed his article in Jane Mag but I'm a guy and what was I doing reading Jane?

Went to Strip House Steakhouse last night 5/5 and spotted piano pop princess Vanessa Carlton with her early 90's 3rd Eye Blind (and older) boyfriend Steven Jenkins (I'll admit I still listen to my old 3rd Eye Blind tunes). The two sat in a private banquette all the way in the back of the restaurant. Vanessa looked pretty in a long white tunic and jeans and Steven, to my surprise, looked pretty good as well, he looked fit and not as blobby as I thought he would be. My boyfriend and I debated whether they were canoodling or not, alas we did not catch them, but they seemed like a cute couple anyway.

David Eigenberg (Steve from Sex and the City) almost bumped into me on Cinco de Mayo on the corner of 23rd and 5th. He is absolutely adorable, had on a blue hoodie and some thick emo-kid glasses, looking a little confused as to where he was going. Two minutes later Shandi from America's Next Top Model walked past with wearing a bunch of Walmart hairclips.

Last night (5/5) saw Janeane Garofalo coming out of an ATM on 23rd and 8th. She was wearing sweats and a backpack and had the most amazing skin and looked kind of in shape. She held the door open for me and my friend with a friendly smile. Nice to see a famous person who seems normal and not all stuck on themselves.

I saw Vincent Pastore a.k.a. Big Pussy on Mulberry and Hester yesterday (5/5) morning around 8:45, getting out of a black Caddy with tinted windows. Perhaps he was revisiting the scene of his (alleged) crime? (He was due in Criminal Court later in the day on charges of beating his fiancee.) Either way, he's looking older than his "Sopranos" days, but still fat. Taller than I expected.

Thursday was a nice day to play hooky and hit the new moma with my lady. We spotted Clare Danes and Billy Crudup doing the same. Clare was with long blond hair and Billy was unremarkable. I forget what floor they were on when we spotted them, but I noticed they were talking deeply about a Cy Twombly painting. They looked pretty unremarkable to me. There seem to be a slight buzz to the room, but no one was bothering them.

Saw Luke Wilson (or a guy that looks like him) by himself in an elevator at the Time Warner Center on Thurs (5/5) at around 9:20p. He looked nice and well-groomed in a navy suit, and prepared to enter V Steakhouse.

Yesterday evening as I strolled down 5th avenue, I called my mother to console her after a horribly painful chemical peel. she was in such bad shape she couldn't hold the phone up to her face, so I was practically shrieking my words of comfort - something along the lines of "BUT YOU'LL BE SO PRETTY IN A FEW DAYS! YOU'LL LOOK YEARS YOUNGER LIKE ALL THOSE WOMEN ON TV!!!" ...when who should emerge from 825 5th but Barbara Walters in an immaculate cream-colored suit. she clearly heard me, but her sagging jowls have been so heavily botoxed that she couldn't even muster a dirty look. I mean a diwty wook.

Was at Columbia-area restaurant La Pertutti on 5/5 when fellow student Julia Stiles walked by. How long has she been going there? More important, how is she famous? The girl I was having lunch with was a hundred times prettier, give or take.

Yesterday 5/5 I passed Karl Lagerfeld walking (if one could call it walking— he was doing some weird robotic shuffle) down Mercer all by his lonesome. He looked totally pilled out.

I just followed supercool B.D. Wong into the Union Square Staples and watched him take plenty of time to pick out the perfect file folder. I had to fake lots of interest in spiral-bound notebooks in order to stalk him successfully.

Saw Don Cheadle, Larenz Tate, and the Rev. Al Sharpton being corralled in preparation for a panel discussion on race relations and other heavy issues after a private screening of new movie "Crash" on wed night (5/4).

Anderson Cooper in (no surprise here) Chelsea, 8th ave at 21st street, crossing toward Rawhide (didn't see if he went in) sporting the red hooded sweatshirt.

I saw Famke Janssen, Ava from Nip/Tuck, walking her dog this morning on 6th Ave and Bleeker. She was very tall and gorgeous.

I got chills, they're multiplying... Because I just saw everyone's favorite Aussie songstress — Olivia Newton-John! She blended right in with the mommies (and looked fabulous in head-to-toe black) at the Bleecker Playground (aka the Xanadu of the West Village) as the younger gent she was with made like a human jungle gym for an adoring gaggle of toddlers. This made my week.

Monday - saw Bernadette Peters walking down Madison Ave. with shopping bags. She looks exactly the same in person, except less shiny.

Monday - Mariska Hargitay coming out of Barney's and dressed like she was coming from an appearance. Tight jeans, silky halter top - gorgeous in person with a killer body. Taller than I expected.

Tuesday - Hugh Jackman and his wife crossing Columbus as they came out of a morning walk in central park. He is tall and lanky and gorgeous even in a hat, sunglasses and sweatpants. She looked happy, and soft with her blond hair all piled up on her head and in her warm-up suit and thinner than whenshe has appeared on TV with him at awards shows.

Caught Felicity Huffman and husband William H. Macy looking Fancy (with a capital F!), strolling east on 50th Street late Tuesday night. Adorable couple who look like the nice type who know how to "make it work." Of course, I gathered all that in a matter of seconds.

Sitting outside the Prada store on 5th Avenue, saw Reese Witherspoon with white-blonde hair, a gray birkin bag, and an expression that could raise fire from hell. She looked so pissed, but she was still just drop-dead gorgeous. Whatever happened to her cleft chin, so prominent in Election?

Two cute gay boy sightings in one block: first, Jai Rodriguez in a white linen suit strolling down Hell's Kitchen, then not 2 minutes later, Domenic Moneghan, the hobbit from Lost. He's gay, right?

Sunday, May 1, walking around soho, a lady came up to me to ask for
directions. She was tall, she was heavily highlighted, her skin was all glow with a non-oil-based sheen, and she was the tannest human being I have even seen. She was Elizabeth Berkley. Seriously, she was baked to a nutty brown finish. I became entranced while speaking to her and realized soon after that I gave her the totally wrong directions. Sorry Liz! Hope you found your destination! (In my defense, she was wearing a mangy sweater, black leggings and Ugg boots.)

Was having dinner with my GF at Babbo last night (still amazing) and
Amanda "What a Girl Wants" Bines, slid into the banquet next to ours with an enormous man, who looked to be either an agent or perhaps herRabbi.... They sat there momentarily then she asked if they could sit upstairs and magically they were whisked away. Dinner was still excellent.

Saw James Lipton ordering take-out at Mary's Fish Camp on Friday night 4/29. he was apparently disappointed that they weren't offering the smelt that evening and settled for some calamari instead.

Saw a roller skating Kerri Russell last night (5/4/05) at the Roxy. She was, of course, elf-like in her tininess, but with the most gorgeous chestnut brown wavy, messy, beachy long hair. V. good look for her, inspired by a new movie she's filming, I heard. She was with her INCREDIBLY hot boyfriend, who I heard is a construction worker. If her agent hasn't met him and/or can't get him a modeling contract, he/she's the worst agent in the world. He was uber-hot. Kerri apparently got the white tank/dark low rise jeans memo that several other girls got that night, but she rocked it right along with them.

Thursday (Cinco de Mayo!) I was visiting my boyfriend at Aero Studios on Broome and happened to see David Hyde Pierce shopping. He was trying to be incognito, ie. baseball hat, but we knew who he was. Too bad his hair in Spamalot is only a wig. I would ve liked to see him rocking that do.

In this edition: Johnny Knoxville (high-profile, rumored affairs getcha top billing!), Clive Owen, Julia Roberts & Danny Moder, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, Ashley Olsen, Tara Reid, Tommy Lee, Diane Keaton, Kevin Costner, Daniel Day-Lewis and Rebecca Miller, Beyonce & Jay Z, Lyor Cohen, Cameron Diaz, Andre3000, Diane Keaton, Gwyneth Paltrow & Blythe Danner, Donald & Melania, Alec Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell, Katie Holmes, Michael Stipe, Mariska Hargitay, Albert Hammond Jr., Fab Five Freddy, Karolina Kurkova, Paris Hilton, Veronica Webb, Rosie Perez, Mick Rock, Jane Rosenthal, Teri Hatcher, Foxy Brown, James Earl Jones, Brooke Shields, Kelly Osbourne, Lorne Michaels, Dennis Quaid, Julianne Moore, Marcia Cross, Hugh Jackman, Jeff Goldblum, Abe Vigoda, Kerri Russell, Monica Lewinsky, Paul Rudd, Gayle King, Harvey Keitel, Alton Brown, Dave Attell, Alanis Morissette, Chris Parnell, David Eigenberg, John Legend, Rachel Ashwell, Lizzie Grubman, Derek Blasberg resurfaces with Stefano Pilati and Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jimmy Fallon, and Ellen Pompeo.

Last night (Wednesday) around 11:30 at Sal's Pizza on 7th and A, Johnny Knoxville stops in for a slice with a slip of a brunette who most certainly did not order pizza. Johnny was wearing an unfortunate pair of cut-off turquoise pants with an ass so oversized it looked like he was sporting a full diaper. Aforementioned brunette just might have been the right age for a diaper.

Saw Clive Owen yesterday is Soho, walking on Houston and crossing West Broadway. Taller than I expected. Stubble and chewing gum with his mouth open. Dark sunglasses and stringy hair. He's very gangly in person, but is still super sexy and has a very strong, handsome face. The big letdown was his ass—he doesn't have one.

Saw Julia Roberts on Sunday for Spamalot matinee. She and her husband Danny Moder were sitting two rows in front of me. She wasn t wearing anymakeup, hair was in a bun, but still looked naturally beautiful. At intermission, her husband waited with her while she stood in line for the bathroom. He is a hunk in person. Not many people noticed her except for one thirteen year old girl who bumped into her on the way out of the bathroom and then proceeded to skip to her parents and yell. Two minutes before the end of the show the security guard came and whisked them away before the lights came up. Despite what one might think, she did a very good job at being discreet and non-descript. Soo not the way I d ever want to live

Brunch at Cafeteria on Sunday 5/1- J.Lo was keepin it real with the commoners. Accompanied by her sister, Lynda, (who is way taller) and another girl, maybe sister or family member. All in all she looks pretty normal, i wouldn't have noticed her if it weren't for the news of her arrival going around Cafeteria like a game of telephone. They made JLo, sporting stealth aviator sunglasses, wait about 10 minutes for a table, in the meantime she and the other two hung out by the bar.

Saw Usher monday night (May 2) leaving Trump Hotel. He was with a bodyguard and two other people..surprisingly he carried his own umbrella.

It was a good day for celeb-spotting in Central Park today despite the brisk weather. First I saw Ashley Olsen on her cellphone, walking very quickly with her head down as two teenage boys in front of her stopped and turned around every few steps. Green capri pants, tan blazer, flowered scarf-as-headband. Cute girl. And then, and then...I spied Tara Reid, coming out of the Time Warner Not-a-Mall-But-Really-a-Mall with two friends - another blonde girl and Tommy Lee. The trio debated taking a pedicab as Tara, voluptuousness on display in a tight yellow t-shirt, informed them that "I've never done that!"

Saw Diane Keaton entering the St. Regis Hotel at 55th St. on Saturday night at about 7:30 with another woman. She looked very friendly; she smiled even though my friend and I were clearly gaping at her. Looked exactly as you'd expect (very Annie Hall): wearing all black, a hat, and sunglasses even though it was a) raining and b) dark already. We overheard the doorman tell someone that she was staying there and that she was cool.

Late lunch today celebrating my ongoing unemployment- at Balthazar, 3PM. The worlds finest actor- or not....Kevin Costner, looking like a midwestern dad, with wife Christine, who was showing way-too-much cleavage for lunch- she also looks at least 6 years older than the 29, 30 she claims to be...Also, Michael Shvo, wearing a really expensive and fine looking suit, attached to blackberry, getting VIP treatment, and with girlfriend- only girlfriend was wearing a top from H&M (white linen long cami with pom poms) The Millionaire Schmo should take her shopping for some good stuff...

Saw Daniel Day-Lewis and Rebecca Miller with their welp waiting for the light at 6th Ave. and Christopher Street on Monday afternoon. Still kicking myself because I didn't think to check out their shoes until I was too far away to get a good look.

You probably are getting a bunch of emails about this .. BUT, last night at Irving Plaza I saw Beyonce and Jigga checking out Island/Def Jam emo flyboys Fall Out Boy. The couple (with 7-foot bodyguard) were perched above the sweaty pit of Long Island teens in the VIP. Lyor Cohen was also in attendance. In person he looks like Maer Roshan a bit.

Just walked past a tall Cameron Diaz crossing 6th Ave at 53rd around 1:30 today (5/3/05). She was with two non-descript dudes and a gaggle of teenage fans following 50 feet away. Cameron was fresh faced, keeping her striking blue eyes makeup free. Glanced around for JT, but he was no where in sight.

Andre3000 in SoHo, blending seamlessly into our gray urban environment thanks to a jungle camouflage outfit topped with a green safari hat. Dig.

DIANE KEATON and her daughter checking out the Max Ernst show at the Met. She was wearing a full length black north face winter jacket, black mens boots and the give away bowler hat. She was totally dressed for a snowstorm, in the 60 degree sunny weather.

At last night's Broadway Opening of Sweet Charity starring Christina Applegate, we saw Gwyneth Paltrow chatting with Adam Duritz of Counting Crows during intermission. Blythe Danner was Gwenyth's date. Just before the curtain went up for Act I, Donald and Melania Trump entered and the house viritually silenced to stare at them. Yeah, we're all still 12. Also there - Alec Baldwin, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, Rosie O'Donnell, and probably a bunch of other people I couldn't name. I guess Christina is a bit of a draw.

I saw the infamous Katie Holmes riding the northbound N train in New York City on Sunday the 24th. I was hawking shirts for charity/a competition (terrible) and she dug into her purse and gave me a crumpled ten dollar bill. Big sunglasses, cute sweater, cute flats. She didn't want a tshirt so we gave her a button. I said "thank you" again to get her to speak/smile, and I definitely thought it was her. News broke a day or two later; was Sunday the 24th too late for her to be in New York and not Rome?

Saw Michael Stipe having a drink with a friend at Shag, on 8th Ave between Bleecker and W. 12th yesterday (5/02) around 6 pm. He was all relaxed and gaunt and was wearing a maroon hoodie. He paid with an American Express, but not the black one. It read J. Michael Stipe on it.

On Saturday 4/30, during the Revlon Run/Walk for Women through Central Park, saw Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay, who was a participant. She was walking with some friends, and seemed happy and was very friendly to everyone around her despite the rain and the random people who kept asking her where Detective Stabler was. Also, she's one of those famous people who is quite beautiful in person, despite a lack of makeup and the soggy weather.

Leaving Citrus on Saturday evening when I looked up and saw he-of-the skinny-tie / drainpipe jeans / afro, uber-hip guitarist Albert Hammond (Jr.) of The Strokes. Looks exactly like he does in every picture ever taken of him, outfit wise. His party was waiting for their table, and upon further inspection, revealed another member of recognition: Fab 5 Freddie. He was rockin' the dark sunglasses and stylish threads, and I immediately altered this assessment in my mind and took note that I would henceforth think of it as Fab 5 Freddie's party, waiting for a table. They must have just gotten out of the Beacon, where Dylan was playing that evening.

Sat at the table across from Karolina Kurkova's 8 pm Friday night (4/29) at Woo Lae Oak in SoHo. Blond hair in a ponytail and surprisingly not as tall as I thought she would be. She was with a not very attractive guy in his 30's or so.

Paris Hilton was at Koi eating (or pretending to eat) dinner on Friday Night.

I was at this TAA (thought is was t & a since when i read the sign that the playboy foundation was hosting) awards at the Tribeca Grand. I saw Veronica Webb, Rosie Perez, Mick Rock, Jane Rosenthal and none other than the desperate housewife herself, Teri Hatcher not looking too desperate. She looked rather occupied with a youngish looking bearded man.

foxy brown at the times square jamba juice 1130ishpm, saturday, april 30 didn't realize it as her until after she'd left when some girl an after her to get her autograph. is a total b! thought she was a drunk tourist, she was so obnoxious. wouldnt look at the menu to order, shouted she wanted strawberries and bananas, but not the one on the menu that was strawberries and bananas; also to make it real thick. paid with change. drove off in a silver rangerover.

A sighting worthy of all those Star Warophiles lined up outside the Mann Theater in LA, on Thursday the 28th, my girlfriends and I saw the original Darth Vader himself (James Earl Jones) at La Guardia going through airport security. He didn't want (or have) any special treatment, and his carry-on luggage was apparently clear of light sabers. He definitely did not want any attention and was not thrilled when the security guard who was about to frisk him complimented him 'on his work'. At least at that point we were blessed with hearing that famous voice, although he never uttered the phrase "Luke, I am your father". Sorry.

Saw the one and only, blue lagoonish, Amazonian, Brooke Shields getting ready to attend some function in that function space on 20th street (I think) between sixth and seventh avenue. She looked just how she should at her age, not botoxed up or anything. Quite lovely and as tall as a damn skyscraper!

Last week, I got to meet Kelly Osbourne at a party thrown by Paper Magazine for the documentary about the vile Glenn O'Brien's "TV Party" (a public access show back in the 80's) at the Tribeca Film Festival. Kelly O made eye contact with my boyfriend and introduced herself. She seemed surprisingly shy and was very nice. She is actually very pretty and not chubby at all—-she just has a round face and her bazoombas are huge!!! In any case, she left early on, hanging out with Richie Rich, Traver Rains, and Aimee Phillips of Heatherette and DJ Michael Cavadias. Later that night, I saw Fab Five Freddy from that really old MTV hiphop show back in the 80's and Debbie Harry sang something that was unintelligible and that she read from a piece of paper.

I saw Lorne Michaels at one of the Friday shows for "Family Guy Live!". He was with a whole bunch of kids; I guess they were his grandchildren.

Saw Dennis Quaid outside of Balthazar last night. He seems to grow hotter by the day. Meg Ryan is an idiot.

Walking home yesterday on Perry Street and saw the gorgeous Julianne Moore and her...is it husband - i really need to study Star more...he was hugging her, she was smiling - was way sweet.

Saw Marcia Cross walking on up 5th Avenue (near 57th St) yesterday (May 3) around 1:30pm. I first noticed her because of her beautiful hair- the color is sick and she had it down. She was wearing normal jeans and a long velvet maroon coat- it looked vintage. She was very cool and seemed to not be bothered at all by every person on the street noticing her and saying "Oh my God, Desperate Housewives!". Her skin is beautiful- great body and very cool. I was temped to say "I loved you on Melrose"- but refrained. I think she was going to Bergdorfs...

Saw Hugh Jackman yesterday (5/3) sitting on the corner of 57th and 5th looking delish with a kid in his lap (his, I'm assuming) and as I passed by some blond lady came over and kissed him on the lips. Lucky gal. Earlier in the day saw Jeff Goldblum coming out of the Flatotel on 52nd Street and opening the door to a Lincoln towncar to ask if it was his ride. Not as tall as I would have expected, though.

Wednesday about 9:30am, Fish himself, Abe Vigoda, was stepping out of Lenny's restaurant on 2nd Ave on the Upper East Side w. a tray of breakfast and coffee, trying to determine which one of the numerous open outdoor tables he and a companion would sit at. He was his usual tall, dour-faced, slouching self. He looked old, but then again, he IS old. Some Gawkers will think of Vigoda always as Tessio from the Godfather. Youngn's will just know him as the old guy who does cameos on Conan O'Brien. But to me, he'll always be Sgt. Fish from Barney Miller.

just saw kerri russell on park ave south near union square. She was wearing a jean jacket and jeans made of the same material! Tsk tsk. regardless, she looked petite and precious.

I saw Monica Lewinsky at Sway on Spring Street a couple of nights ago talking to the editor in chief of Heeb magazine. She looked like Ricki Lake in Hairspray, lots of hair and hips. Does this sighting even count? Is she even a real celebrity anymore? [Ed: As long as she blew President Clinton, yes.] She's a "handbag designer," the same fake profession as Nicky Hilton.

Just saw Paul Rudd walking a massive white dog near the dog run in Washington Square Park. The dog had some very impressive slobber hanging out the sides of its mouth, as did I. He'c cuter than I remember.

Opened the door for Oprah's BFF, Gayle King, on 43rd & 2nd. She thanked me with a warm smile. Didn't get the chance to ask about Stedman's penis size.

On Sunday 5/1 near W. 4th and w. 10th saw Harvey Keitel and family; looked like he was w/wife & son and someone else. Then, thirty seconds later, a voice comes out of nowhere that makes me swoon. Jon Stewart (again, w/wife & child) was (I think) walking out of Westville. He's not as short as everyone seems to think. Cute family.

May 1st, saw FoodTV's Alton Brown at the Met with wife and kid, in the Max Ernst exhibit. From the look on his face, he didnt seem to think that the surrealist paintings and collages were "Good Eats ".

at shade bar on 3rd and sullivan around 4 a.m. last night (5/03), dave attell was identified making out with some girl up against the window. a friend ran out to say hi, he came in, bought us a round of shots, and promptly escorted his wasted date out. thanks dave! also, a friend spotted alanis morissette on 3rd street this morning (5/04).

Almost literally ran right into Chris Parnell, of SNL/ "Anchorman" fame, in front of the Best Buy on 23rd Street on Thursday afternoon. He was on his cell phone and wearing an adorable striped polo shirt.

yesterday (5/1) saw steve from sex in the city aka david eigenberg on 6th and 19th, squatting under a phone booth on a cell phone (???) wearing dirty jeans and a tee. I'm ashamed to say that not even my Olsen-twin sunglasses (read: enormous/hide half my face) hid my gawking eyes and open jaw.

Spotted with the cutest babyface and the sexiest lips this side of...Lisa Rinna (?) was John Legend on 1st Avenue downtown on Sunday night. I've heard rumors of his diggin' the fellas, thus my very gay decision two blocks later to turn around and walk straight back to where I saw him in the first place. Alas, Legend was long gone.

Imported domestic goddess RACHEL ASHWELL looking quite Shabby and not so Chic in SoHo on a rainy Saturday afternoon. She's still working that all-white "spiritually pure" fashion look. It must be a bitch being spiritually pure when stepping over mud puddle and avoiding splashes from taxis.

Saw Lizzie Grubman and Kelly Osbourne at the House of Wax premiere on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Kelly was clinging to Lizzie (as if she desperately wanted to be the newest PoweR Girl), and then, upon seeing Elisha Cuthbert, started screaming, "Elisha, Elisha!" Guess she's a fan.

I saw Derek Blasberg as he chain smoked cigarettes with Stefano Pilati from YSL and Marc Jacobs (both of whom are rather attractive, if I may say so) outside of the Mercer Hotel. I decided to sit on the bench outside and sip my mixed juices, mulling over a completed day of stalkings. But I was wrong. Just then, I was bombarded: Karl Lagerfeld breezed by with a flurry of busy-looking assistants, and then Jake Gyllenaal and Jimmy Fallon wobbled out of the hotel with two unknown young women. No Kirsten in sight though, thank god.

ellen pompeo at marc jacobs on bleecker street sunday afternoon. her skin resembled her character's name.

In this issue: Ethan Hawke, Chris Kattan, Dee Snider, Kelly from PoweR Girls, Clive Owen, Joy Behar, Keith Richards, Nora and Jay McCarroll from Project Runway, Parker Posey, Kelly Osbourne, Jimmy Fallon, Al Sharpton, Kyle MacLachlan, Theodora and Alexandra Richards, Richard Thomas, Christina Applegate, Julia Roberts, James Iha, Ashley Olsen, Paul McCartney, Judah Friedlander, Famke Janssen, Rosanna Arquette, Brook Shields and Chris Henchy, Thora Birch, Helen Gurley Brown, Uma Thurman, Chris Backus (Mr. Mira Sorvino), John Turturro, Sandra Bernhard, Ben Stein, Jules Asner, Carson Daly, Maya Rudolph, Chris Parnell, Sarah Chalke, David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria, Tim Curry, Mila Kunis, Billy Idol, John Sayles and Maggie Renzi, Julianna Margulies, Robert De Niro, Liam Neeson.

At 23rd & 7th Avenue yesterday (4/27) around 1:45, I was late (what s new) and trying to hail a cab. Because I was standing a few feet back from the intersection, I had a feeling some jerk might try to get between me and the available cabs coming down the street, and a few seconds later I was proved right some man in a gray suit sauntered up and started hailing like he didn t see me. I shot death darts into the back of his head and begged him to turn around. Moments later, his haggard, lined faced turned my way it was none other than Chelsea s only straight male resident, Ethan Hawk. Boyfriend looks OLD. It s like he and his ex Uma are aging in exactly the opposite directions. I was about to shout Ethan Hawk, don t you dare try to steal my cab! when one pulled up in front of me, passing him by. Ha!

About 4 hours later, crossing the same intersection, I saw SNL annoyance Chris Kattan. I would have hey, Mango d him but he was working so hard on his I m somebody so don t talk to me face I was afraid the break in concentration might send him into a queeny fit, all screechy with flailing claws. He is teeny tiny.

Awesome celeb sighting Thursday morning: the one, the only DEE SNIDER, hopping into a giant black Hummer on 45th between Fifth and Sixth avenues with a little girl who appeared to be his daughter. She looked an awful lot like him, but was oddly very cute. About five, I'd guess. He looked like he's always looked — a tall, gangly, slightly demonic-looking dude from Long Island.

I saw Kelly from PoweR Girls on a downtown D train on wed the 26th. I got on at 59th St., and I think she was already on the train, so who knows where she was coming from. She was listening to her ipod and reading the Post. I stared at her, waiting for her to do something stupid, because she is, and I swear to God her lips were moving while she read. She looked kind of tore up.

was just on hudson between ganesvoort and 13th street and bumped into CLIVE OWEN! he was with a bunch of guys. so hot.

At the April 27 press screening for House of Wax, Joy Behar, co-host of The View and author of literary tour de force, Joy Schtick. Her cellphone rang during the movie. She answered it. After she finished talking, it rang again—although to her credit, she didn't take the second call. She's scarier than you'd think—she looks like the Wicked Witch of the West..wait..East..West..I can never remember.

Just saw Keith Richards and a friend walking down 5th ave at 64th street. He was dressed all in black, very thin, and wearing some sort of feather-themed dangly earrings. I didn't recognize him at first, mainly because the guy he was walking with looked like a midwestern tourist, right down to the golf player sweatshirt and flip-up sunglasses. They were talking and laughing. My friend and I both squealed. Awesome!

PROJECT RUNWAY's "punk" Nora having lunch and fussing with her fauxhawk at the Chipotle on 42nd Street.

Saw Parker Posey yesterday turning the corner onto 13th from 3rd Ave. She looked frazzled in a flowy gray shirt, her dark hair curly and messy. She was carrying lots of bags, including a shoulder bag with her matching curly haired white pooch in it.

I saw Kelly Osbourne walking in midtown yesterday. Had huge sunglasses on. I was surprised to see that she's not fat at all, which leads me to believe celeb magazines photoshop her body to make her look chubbier.

Saw Jimmy Fallon last night (4/27) eating at the bar at Casa Mono around 10pm. Sitting with a tall, good looking male friend. Noticed me pointing him out to my friend. We just wanted drinks and the restaurant wouldn't seat us, so I didn't get to see if he did anything funny.

Also yesterday, my friend reported spotting Al Sharpton in the Diamond District, where he was greeted like Don Fannuci strolling the streets of Little Italy in Godfather II.

At the Redcat last night and saw kyle mclaughlin eating dinner with his wife and two friends. he looked content and sexy in an older-man way, steely streeks in his black mane. much more sophisticated in real life vs. "Trey."

Saw Richard Thomas- John-Boy on the Waltons- this morning on the M1 going down Fifth. Mole still firmly in place.

Went to Hiro last night (4/27) for yet another one of those GBH sponsored parties, but what made this one different was the presence of His Leatheriness, Keith Richards and his scarily thin daughters Theodora and Alexandra Richards. They'd all set up camp in a banquette right by the ladies room so they weren't exactly hiding. Plus one of them was wearing that sequined beanie she always wears so she wasn't hard to miss.

At chelsea grill last night (4/27) saw christina applegate walk out with a few friends around 11:30. she was small and understated, wearing a black jacket and a cute black hat. she had a black suv waiting for her outside. then, at dagny's awesome wednesday night party at hiro, saw keith richards looking old and yet totally hot in a leather jacket and wife beater. he seemed very gracious and nice to all the fans that kept coming up to him.

There are so many famous people in Manhattan that you can almost
expect a local one to cross your path at any given moment. I certainly
was not expecting to see Academy Award Nominee, possible next James
Bond and all-around hadsome devil Clive Owensrolling down Broadway near 8th street on Wednesday afternoon. He was tall and lean in a black coat and several day's stubble which suited him exceedingly well. He gave me that gracious, split-second smile that means "Thanks for recognizing me, and thanks for not making a big deal about it." In return, I did my very best not to melt on the spot.

This afternoon, walking up Gramercy Park South, I spotted Julia Roberts. She was laughing loudly on her cell phone and drinking what appeared to be a Caramel Farppuccino. She is beautiful and was wearing huge 'don't look at me sunglasses' a la Olsen. I heard she lived in the neighboorhood, but this was my first sighting. I was quite excited.

Today in the pouring rain, I saw Project Runway winner Jay McCarroll. He was trying to hail a cab and had that expression on his face that he reserved for Wendy Popper on the show. The rain didn't stop him from sporting a headwrap scarf and oversize sunglasses-very bloated Liz Taylor circa '74. What horrors do you think he is trying to hide underneath all that headgear?

I saw James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins) coming out of Parker Posey's building today. Coincidence? Or Ryan Adams rebound?

saw chris kattan at bungalow 8 on saturday (4/23). he is SHORT... i mean, on the cusp of midget height. he also strongly resembles that monkey man he played on s.n.l. god bless.

Had the obligatory Ashley Olsen sighting at Butter last night. Ash was sporting a non-bobo look - striped fisherman's tee, navy blazer, jeans. One word of warning to our favorite twin-about-town, though: You may be rich and famous and adorable, but get those roots touched up stat, girl. Your man's eyes were wandering (specifically, to a hot, post-collegiate brunette), and even all the Wal-Mart profits in the world can't make a man forsake his natural proclivities when his lady starts to get complacent, if you know what I'm sayin'.

—A friend is a waitress at Candle 79 and recently Paul McCartney came in, chatted her up and showed her pictures of his kids—and left her a $160 tip!

As I was walking home last night on MacDougal St., I saw Judah Friedlander (Best Week Ever, and wasn't he in a Dave Matthews video?) talking to Some Guy in front of the Comedy Cellar between Bleecker and West 3rd. Just as shlubby and homely-trucker-hat-wearing as he is on TV. I feel ripped off by my neighborhood.

all this past weekend... first i saw famke janssen in soho, walking her dog, she can't dress at all and she's always around there.. then rosanna arquette in the lobby of the mercer, she is not at all so thin as i thought she was, but she seemed cool, devoid of attitude... brooke shields and her hubby/guy on spring and greene, she is SO skinny! he is horrible looking, but they kept making out and she seemed quite clingy and had a gucci bag, very american style, no cred at all

just saw thora birch (american beauty chick, not the blonde one - the other one) in the deli across the street from my work (hudson street cafe). the food there is disgusting, the staff is rude, and everything's horrendously marked up (a 20 oz. bottle of coke is $1.50, everwhere else charges $1.25 or even $1.00), thus earning it the nickname 'Dirty Deli'.thora didn't look too happy to be in the DD, she was kind of scowling and sitting at a table with an older mousy looking woman dressed all in black. thora was wearing black super high heels, black pants, and a white indian tunic-type top with black embroidery. her hair was dyed blonde, her makeup impeccable and she looked all scowly. maybe cause i was staring at her. now if only i could spot wes bentley...

on tues, 4/26, my boyfriend and i were waiting outside the shubert to be let in to the pillowman. first, we saw helen gurley brown (cosmo founder?) and her husband shuffling from the marriot across 45th to our side of the street. my boyfriend commented that she looked like the crypt keeper. a few minutes later, we saw hank azaria coming from direction (the marriot across 45th) for his performance in spamalot. no one seemed to recognize him. he was looking around a bit...not sure if he was waiting to be recognized...or just being aware of his surroundings.

I was schlepping down Irving in the rain this morning when I saw a
striking blonde coming up from the next block. She was the only person
on the street without an umbrella, which caught my attention. As she
neared, I realized it was Uma Thurman. So much prettier in person, alone, smaller than I thought. This only confirms my belief that celebrities have an invisible beauty force field around them at all times. I swear to God, she wasn't even wet. Hair all smooth, skin glowy, dry as dry can be. She was giggling into her cell phone, finally cooing, "I love you..."

Saw Chris Backus, aka Mr. Mira Sorvino walking alone on Columbus Ave. today. Can't believe I recognized him but he is approx. 6'4" and beyond beautiful so I couldn't help but notice. Way to go Mira.

there's nothing like getting on the uptown q train and sitting across
from john turturro to make your ride more fun (6ish). looking like a professor with his neatly trimmed curly grey hair and earnest studying of his notes, he'd read a few lines from his notebook while gesturing with his hands, raising an eyebrow or frowning. probably off to rehearsal and reviewing his notes. nobody else on the car seemed to notice or care.

saw sandra bernhard at the angelika theatre around 7:45 on tuesday,as i was catching oldboy. she was with unidentified gentleman right behind me.

on sunday at MoMA, I saw Ben Stein walk in and look around very quickly, before a security guard went up and talked to him, and then he just left. He was wearing his usual suit and sneakers, and honestly, I'm beginning to question why he didn't keep that money and buy a new suit instead of giving it away on a third-rate game show.

Just ran into Jay McCarroll [5-26] outside of Banana Republic on 5th ave for Project Runways casting call. He had a camera crew taping everything he was saying to the people waiting in line. Really sweet and shorter than I thought he would be. I wanted to speak
to him, but didn't want to interrupt the taping, so I walked by him and poked him and told him that I loved him. He said "Thank you, I love you too."

Saw Jules Asner today (4/26) walking through Union Square...she was having a very animated cell phone conversation & looked v. happy & relaxed. She was Soderbergh-less and I did not see donut-licking Kimora Lee Simmons in hot pursuit. Prettier than I thought and taller too, she must be 6 ft. (does she tower over the hubby?) and was carrying one of those huge Balenciaga bags an Olson twin would fit inside of.

4/17 American terminal at Kennedy - Carson Daly buying gum at Hudson News. Looks just as boring as on TV. Wheeling a suitcase.

American red-eye to LAX - Maya Rudolph and Chris Parnell of SNL. Chris in First, Maya in Business. He looks nice and thinner than on TV. She was cute-ish, but not as cute as expected. Less freckles or something. They were making fun of Tracey Morgan and his apparent "handlers" and fame at the prior nite's party.

I was coming out of DSW Battery Park City last night, smugly proud of the bargain I had just gotten, and realized I was exiting through the
celeb/filmmaker entrance for the Tribeca Film Festival. I heard a familiar voice, and it was Sarah Chalke, aka the second Becky on "Roseanne," and that girl on "Scrubs." She was gorgeous and blond, with perfect smudged eyeliner and a silver belt. I had cheap shoes.

Last night at The Park (not as "over" as I had been led to believe):
The cast of Spamalot - David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria and Tim Curry, as well as others less immediately recognizable. Private room - some sort of party. I spotted Hank Azaria first as he descended from an Olsen-worthy black SUV with tinted windows. Talking on his cell phone ("Alana's meeting me here"), smoking a cigarette, looking surprisingly butch (and also...hot?) in a black leather jacket and jeans.Next up was David Hyde Pierce. Very Niles. Tim Curry arrived late, breezed past the common folk and was not to be seen again.

Last night, Mila Kunis was at Bar None in the Village. They even had her behind the bar for awhile.

Spotted a still-spiky Billy Idol around 10:30 am on Monday heading North up Park Avenue near 34th street. Sporting wraparound shades, and I got a sample of his signature snarl — since he caught me staring.

I am so excited that I saw HANK AZARIA in Au Bon Pain on 44th between Madison and 5th around 2pm today (4/25). He looks just like he looks on TV. He was tall and wearing a blue peacoat of sorts and jeans. He was just getting coffee with a friend (though he seemed to take a long time deciding what to get) and they went to sit in the upstairs section, perhaps to get away from people such as myself who were blatantly staring.

On my April 24th Flight from Chicago to Newark, American Airlines
#1470, we saw the king of indie film John Sayles, with long-time collaborator/producer/actress Maggie Renzi, waiting to board. When they called first class, Sayles and Renzi ran into a little trouble because Renzi handed the stewardess the wrong boarding pass, meaning that Sayles had to stand and wait for her while she rummaged through her purse and tried to find the right one. He never turned around, which was probably good, because if he had, he would have noticed me and my girlfriend staring open-mouthed and with giddy bliss at the back of his head. Once we got on the plane, we saw him sitting in the first row of first class, and my gf, on glancing at the script he was reading (red pen in hand), saw something along the lines of (I kid you not) "well those are the best dollars I ever spent (Heffner sitting on bed in pajamas)". And yes, he was wearing a short sleeve collar shirt with the sleeves rolled up a couple turns.

Saw Julianna Marguiles Friday night outside of Temple Bar on Lafayette. She is completely gorgeous, has the smallest butt known to the ER and was smoking a cig, animatedly telling a story to three guys. Then they all went inside to drink at a corner table while the wait staff shat all over themselves, excitedly bringing her popcorn and booze.

Leaving the subway on 34th and Sixth yesterday I walked by Juliya, the "metal" VJ from Fuse that's always cursing. She was talking on her cell phone about filming some stuff for the channel the next day. It could've been because I drank 3 vodka cranberries at work, but I'm also pretty positive she had some camel toe

Saw Robert DeNiro and Liam Neeson dining together at the Cafe Luxembourg on the upper west side Thursday night. Knew it was Neeson, as he's a regular there (or so I'm told), but then realized DeNiro was with him — shouldn't he have been at the Tribeca Film Festival?! DeNiro is short, especially, next to Liam, and was wearing glasses, and put a hat on his lengthy hair when he left, carrying a doggy bag!

Two Union Square-area sightings on Tuesday. I saw everyone's favorite
gap-toothed fellow, Paul Scheer (Best Week Ever, UCB) making out with a VERY good looking woman outside whole foods... must have been the girlfriend, but she didn't look familiar. Also saw Naima from this season of America's Next Top Model walking in the park with a friend... looked short and blah. Perhaps she's still traumatized from Tyra's total meltdown last week? I am.

OH! In regards to Minnie Driver's tiny bank account balance, I saw her eating brunch at 7A last weekend. I mean, I LOVE 7A, but I also just graduated from college and have the salary to prove it. Maybe her financial situation is worse than we thought?!?! Not that I care... she sucks.

Saw Liev Schreiber and Alan Alda, in snazzy black suits looking like they walked right off the stage of "Glengarry Glen Ross", crossing 8th Avenue at 45th Street. They were talking to each other in what looked like an attempt to deter passersby from talking to them. I pretended not to notice them, but as I passed the people behind me accosted them in the middle of the crosswalk. I couldn't see what was happening but put my iPod on pause. The accosters sounded like midwestern tourists. Liev and Alan sounded annoyed as they quickly said terse hellos and fled. And P.S. Liev's mustache is truly heinous, as has oft been reported.

At Salon for the "Red Doors" afterparty (tribeca film fest), the most unlikely celeb couple ever - Herrs Michael Stipe and Bokeem Woodbine. (Well, they weren't together, but what if...) Also, Coati Mundi (Kid Creole, fool!) cutting a rug.

It's been months since I have had a bona-fide celebrity spotting, so when I saw Andrew McCarthy, aka Blaine McDonnagh, at Whole Foods in Chelsea, it was like an oasis in the middle of a stardust-free oasis. There he was in all his middle aged glory, wearing a non-descript, slightly oversized windbreaker and sneakers, sizing up the produce. Looking spry and fit but slightly wrinkly, like he was a mountain biker or triathlete or something.

Today Saturday 4/23 at 4.35pm, I saw current SI cover girl and Estee Lauder model Carolyn Murphy walking on Bleecker (I was with a gaggle of people lining up outside Magnolia) with her young daughter and boyfriend, Incubus rocker Brandon something. She is not as tall as I thought she would be (wasn't she at one point a runway model?) nor as gorgeously beautiful as those airbrushed EL ads. But then again the woman was completely devoid of make-up. Brandon looked like an EV punk, tall and skinny and assless. I guess he's also photogenic like Carolyn? Less than an hour later, I walked by a gaunt looking Phillip Bloch, the Hollywood stylist on 6th avenue, right
across French Roast. He wore loose grey sweats and another of his vast
collection of hats. Really beautiful blue eyes though.

I was on 37 and 7 Ave when I hear a weird accent yelling "Come on, I want to go". I look up to see Giselle exiting a soft serve ice cream store with an extremely pudgy Leo following behind. Giselle was about 5'10 with Leo being taller than I thought, 6'0. He was wearing some really haggard purple sweats and his signature baseball hat hugging his bloated head; had a small goatee and was squinting. Giselle was wearing jeans and a t-shirt and walking really fast, while Leo stumbled about looking up at the sky and looking paranoid; very Hughes like. It was a shock to see them and find out that Leo is the bitch in the relationship.

Went past Naima walking with a cute boy at Prince and Mercer Sunday early afternoon. She is REALLY REALLY pretty, but she shaved notches in her eyebrows that reminded me of Vanilla Ice :( Anywho, perhaps a
bit shrimpy for a Super Model of the World, but she has that Audrey
Hepburn je ne sais quois, no doubt.

I just saw Andre 3000 walking by Au Bon Pain in midtown with a short Asian dude with bad skin. Andre had the green pants, the perm, the whole works.

I guess *Maggie Gyllenhaal* isn't afraid of carbs. Sitting at Barbutto in the West Village (4/20), having a large plate of pasta. Looked thin, but has extremely wide shoulder blades. Was with a male friend, don'tknow if it was her boyfriend or not.

carson kressley (does this even count as exciting anymore?)... rocking the usual flowing blonde locks and carefully bronzed skin... strolled past me on the corner of 16th and 8th (obviously) on monday night... was not particularly thrilled at his celebrity-ness, however I am still laughing because i believe he MIGHT have been wearing a sky blue GAP logo sweatshirt... oh the horror.

indie rockstar (and boy that I HEART) Ben Lee and I shared the same subway car from the Bedford stop on the L... nothing much to report except that he looked like the cute little hipster boy that he seems to be in his tunes... I was too busy pretending not to stare at him that I forgot to see if he got off at union square too... sigh... I knew there was a reason I slept in and was late for work this morning...

Last night walking down Thompson st. I had my boyfriend give me a piggy back ride to alleviate the severe pain caused by pre-summer flip flop rubbing and who did we almost knock over ms. Flashdance herself Jennifer Beals. She was wearing a rather unflattering white floral print skirt. my boyfriend said she was dumpsville. Also at the movies on Tuesday night I saw fabrizio moretti at the union square theaters. He was coming down the escalator alone and we made eye contact. He is so goddamn sexy. Drew was nowhere to be found. Sucka.

saw Julia Roberts walking north on park ave south at 21st. she looked like she was on her way to work out in all black, fitting, gym clothes, talking on her phone, large black glasses. gorgeous skin, teeny legs.

saw elle macpherson at the reception for The Interpreter last night at MoMA. she looked out of place, as she had on a barely there dress and looked as if she had just gotten a spray-on tan. but as if to make up for that, she also had on a beautiful smile. the cheesy bankers/brokers in attendance were staring incessantly.

I saw the monster oaf that is Tim Robbins at Coffee Shop on Sunday afternoon. Wannabe-model gazing? Dying for some mediocre food? (I was there on official business, thankyouverymuch.) Regardless, he was sweaty and wearing these really bad meshy-netty shorts that made him bulgy and not at all in the places I'd hoped.

I was walking to the bus stop this morning at about 8:30 and saw an
unshaven, smirking and sunglassed Vincent D'Onofrio clutching a venti Starbucks cup at the corner of 73rd and 2nd. I was going to make a crack about his fainting spells when Kerry lost the election, but I would have missed the Limited bus.

Saw Fergi (of Black Eyed Peas) coming out of a store on 42nd and Broadway today. I wouldn't even have noticed her if one of her three HUGE bodygaurds hadn't thrown himself in front of me saying, "Let her through! Let her through!" as if there was a huge crowd there. There wasn't. She was cute, dressed in a redish tubetop/babydoll sundress, yellow heels and sun glasses. Not to mention perfect hair. MUCH MUCH MUCH smaller in real life (the camera adds 20 pounds?). She smiled hapily when the bodyguards created a scene and people began to notice her, and then she walked over a subway grate and her skirt blew up.

Saw Bjork tonight (4/20) at B-Bar. She was wearing some sort of bedazzled Hellenic tunic and kept leaping from her table to attend to a blonde child (presumably her own) who was wearing a suprisingly frilly pink dress

The Butterscotch Stallion is in town! Around 7:15 this evening (4/20)
spotted Owen Wilson on the northern esplanade of BPC (the North side of Stuyvesant High, right on the water). He was jogging, and no one seemed to notice him. Here for the Tribeca Film Festival perhaps? He wasn't as tall as I had imagined, and his nose wasn't THAT big! The bridge was unmistakably crooked, but it didn't hook like it appears to in movies.

At last night's (4/20) performance of The Pillowman, I saw both
Katherine Keener and Illeana Douglas. Ms. Keener is stunningly beautiful, minimal make-up kind of beautiful ... with an expensive bag that my date pointed out. Ms. Douglas is super tiny, and VERY adorable, kind of a spaz but very well behaved ...the 'cute' kind of adorable. She has absolutely NO ass.

Yesterday after work, my friends and I spotted *Jesse Palmer* basking in the late day sun at Jane in the Village....about an hour later saw *Jimmy Fallon* on the corner of 18th and 5th Ave talking with a friend. He was very cute, short, skinny in a bright red sweatshirt and scruffy jeans.

I got my Olsen twin sighting on Wednesday, April 20, 5:30 PM on North Moore Street. Not sure which one, but she got out of her SUV with a young, tall, thin, brown haired guy and a dog. The guy was holding the leash and they were going into her building (I know she lives there) but they had to wait because the dog had to pee. They stood there and waited for what seemed like a long time for him to finish. Her mouth has a funny shape.

Matt Dillon was seen at the St. Agnes branch of The New York Public Library, April 21, @ 11:17a.m. He browsed the magazines, then he left the building. This isn't his first time visiting the library.

Tuesday night I was heading south on Thompson Street (near Prince) and spyed the city's ur-hipster couple: Matthew Barney and Bjork. He was giantly tall, walking ahead of her, and the kid was sitting on his shoulders. I would have totally missed them had it not been for a giant red cold sore/wound sitting below Ms. Gudmundsdottir's left nostril...girl, you really should get that taken care of...then I was drawn to her unmistakable broad Icelandic face. She was looking pissy. I turned around after they passed and saw that she was wearing knee-high mettalic-gold gladiator boots and a short, kinte-cloth tunic. Definitely Bjork. Definitely weren't talking to each other. Trouble in artsy paradise?

My boyfriend and I were in SoHo having lunch upstairs (lobby level) at Mercer Kitchen on Saturday (4/16) and in walks - very incognito - hat, glasses, several days unshaved - Robin Williams. He walked in and went quickly downstairs. He came up equally as quick - heading out the front door and onto Mercer street. I don't think anyone really noticed who he was. Also, the next night we had dinner at Balthazar and sat 2 tables away from that woman who used to be on Law & Order - Stephanie March. She looked gorgeous - relaxed - wearing a bright colored beaded and sequined tunic - didn't see the bottom half as she
was sitting down. She was with a handsome man - definitely a date.

Bill lives! David Carradine and his wife strutting down Park Avenue at 50th Street on Thursday (April 21) around 2 p.m. He wore a tan jacket and requisite dark shades. Sadly Uma and her samurai sword were nowhere to be seen.

Saw Kristin Davis in some Olsen-style shades on Hudson Street. She seemed very sweet, low-key, and cuter than a button a thousand times over. For real.

Saw "Little" Stevie Van Zandt of Springsteen and Sopranos fame leaving his home (?) between Sixth and Fifth Aves. in the Village. He was, as expected, wearing the headwrap so obviously stolen from him by one Ms. Erykah Badu in the late nineties. He looks both 1. nuts and 2. like a true rockstar, although, rock star or not, would it be so much trouble to spare New York the pufts of chest hair?

Saw Marc Maron of Air America Radio on lower University Place. He's the new messiah, if you haven't already heard.

Okay this is not a person you see every day hanging out with us common folk... was in NoLita with my friend yesterday just browsing in Poppy and guess who is also shopping with a friend ... Ms. Nicole Kidman. Looked very skinny, very pale, very blonde and very up-tight. Dressed entirely in black - baggy black shirt and black leggings. Sorry didn't see what she bought because my friend made me laugh (something about "pole" and "ass") so we had to get out of there ha!

last night had drinks and dinner (ie, guiness and burgers) at the oak bar at the plaza for one last old-new-york-style-libation. and who should sit at the table across from us but paul mccartney. he was very british, as was his friend/manager/roadie/bodyguard/jack of all trades companion. paul was neither obnoxious nor particularly friendly. He declined several requests for autographs and pictures, but did not lose his temper, even when a rude texan with a loud voice and a strange white circle in his hair tried to barge at him with a digital camera after having previously been rebuffed. my boyfriend kept saying, "the man is a knight for christ's sake!" as if THAT were why paul should be left alone. an hour later we were at the new york public library young lion's benefit (dress code: haute havana, which apparently means black tie but not really and you can wear a straw hat), when who should samba in but julia stiles. apparently they have taught her to read at columbia, or at least to like books. she was wearing an orange dress, short hair, not overly made up or tricked out. looked pretty and sweet, low-key entrance, no one seemed to really notice her. was with a very tall and good looking man wearing a suit with a purple-pink shirt. hot Havana indeed!

I was fortunate enough to have seen everybody's favorite piano man Billy Joel yesterday in Tribeca on Hudson Street. He was extremely short, extremely bald and had this atrocious goatee. Age has not been good to the man. However, he also had a steaming little pile on his arm, which I assume to be his fiance/wife who can't be much older than 25. So I guess things aren't all bad for him. More signifanct in my mind, however, is when I saw Fab Five Freddy a few hundred yards later. He looked like the man, because he is...and he was wearing his signature backwords porkpie hat.

Greatest sighting EVER for Alias fans! Ok, so I know we're few and far between...but last night 4/21 at bar pitti, I saw both Sloane (Ron Rifkin) and evil Sloane/Clone (Joel Grey) dining together!! Too fab!! I was with my friend who also loves the show and we were freaking out, since it's such a timely sighting for any Alias fan. They seemed oblivious to our gawking which is a good thing.

Anderson Cooper talking on his cellphone loudly and continuously for at least 15 minutes right by the big glass doors of the Time Warner center 4/22, 12:30-ish. Lagoon-blue eyes, lit from the inside like a Furby. Dorky, possibly Wrangler, jeans.

Yesterday (4/21/05) saw Eva (the Diva) from last seasons America's Next Top Model walking into Astor Hairstylists (on Astor and B'way) as I was walking out. She was with some guy (male model? boyfriend? where's Missy Elliott?). They were both dressed stylishly and seemed very friendly.

At a birthday party at Gypsy Tea on Saturday night, my roommate and I
saw a guy who was platinum-blonde and ridiculously '80s-looking that
all night we jokingly referred to him as "Billy Idol." Turns out it
WAS Billy Idol, as I had the pleasure of reading in Lloyd Grove's column the other day. Was kind of bummed that we were so nonchalant, but the situation was a little boy-who-cried-wolf, given the recent string of Rod Stewart doppelganger sightings and all.

Just had an unexpected sighting in the afternoon of 4/18. Was sitting
near Penn Station enjoying my little bit of sunshine in the middle of
the urban jungle when I heard cheering that could mean only thing: celeb in the vicinity. I mosied over to see what all the fuss was about and it turned out that a bunch of wrestlers were coming in for an event at Madison Square Garden. I was just in time to see The Edge: he was tall, built, had a blond ponytail and goatee, and was hot in a trashy, Arkansas/truck driver kind of way. I had never heard of him but people were going nuts. In any case, I had never seen a gathering of such trashy people within the bounds of NYC, all of whom were maniacally cheering, which made for an extra fun sighting.

I saw Kim Dickens from Deadwood on Bedford ave in Williamsburg this afternoon, walking out of a shop. She had super-cute litle pigtails,and was taller and thinner than expected. She looked happy and relaxed. Man that womans legs are up to her armpits.

This evening, on my way to my NYU, I ran into Sidney Poitier as he was crossing Washington Square West (MacDougal) at Washington Square North (Waverly Place). I'm guessing he was headed to Babbo for dinner. Mr. Poitier was dressed in a nice suit and walked with an elderly caucasian gentleman along with their respective wives/girlfriends/daughters/who knows?

April 16th close to 9PM, saw Leonardo and Giselle on 11th Street, got into waiting Town Car . Both both thin and tall (surprise!). He was wearing jeans and dark top, she was wearing a whitish jacket and jeans.

Saw the original "Fab Five," Duran Duran, at the after-party for their concert at Madison Square Garden, which was at QT, Andre Balazs' new hotel in mid-town. Simon Le Bon was there with his wife Yasemin, who is tall but teeny; John Taylor was there with his wife, of Juicy Couture, who was skanked out and looked haggard; Nick Rhodes with his girlfriend, who was drunk and a bit of a disaster but very pretty; Andy Taylor with his long-time wife I think and perhaps his daughter as well; and Roger Taylor with who knows. All the band members were mingling and seemed friendly and non-plussed as their songs kept getting played. I told Nick Rhodes that I had seen them in concert for the first time twenty-one years ago, which means I also admitted how old I am. Too old to be excited to have been in the same room with them? Also saw Jay from Project Runway there...but really, where hasn't he been spotted?

Saturday, April 16th, 'round 5 PM. CHRISTY TURLINGTON pushing a stroller down Harrison Street in TriBeca. No make-up, sweats, utterly spectacular looking. Men fainted. Women jumped out of windows. And little children could be heard asking aloud why their mothers didn't look like Christy.

On a quiet Monday evening at Koi: First, Lizzie Grubman and her client Won-G were eating with some friends/associates at a banquet in the back corner (and Macy Gray dropped by to say hi). They seemed to be having a good time, and were "very nice", according to our waitress. Then, coming in for a late dinner were Naomi Campbell, photographer Patrick Marchelier, and various other models/fashion types. Naomi was well behaved - or at least didn't beat anyone with a telecommunications device while we were there, and seemed to be enjoying herself. I'm not sure how many celebrities they've had in the restaurant so far though as even the staff were pointing and staring. (By the way, the food was unimpressive, and the service was ordinary - at least for us, ordinary paying customers).

Remember those nerdy kids in school who walked really, really fast with their heads down, trying to make it from point A to point B before they could get their books knocked out of their hand or be dumped into a trash can? Well that was Al Franken huffing and puffing his way up 6th Ave. between 36th and 37th on Friday afternoon. He's got an enormous head, small body, and enough folds of flesh on his face to generally resemble a shar-pei. Thought about high-fiving him and encouraging him to keep on fighting the good fight, but my voter apathy kicked in and I just kept on walking.

Saw Hilary Swank at Westville in the West Village last night, dining with a friend - wearing very little makeup and she still looked gorgeous.

Yet another celeb spotting at the casting agency in my building on 26th and 6th. His aweseomness, Napoleon Dynamite, aka Jon Heder, waiting for the elevator as we were going up. Why I didn't scream "idiot" as the doors closed I don't know...

Hey I had a celebrity sighting this past Sunday Leo Dicaprio and Gisele Bundchen shopping in Karkula on Gansevoort looking at and sitting on the highpriced sofas they have there. Is it me or have they been spending a lot of time in NYC a lot lately?

This morning, stood behind Kristen Davies and Liev Schreiber in Olives...they were acting very chummy/flirty with each other. She was very casual wearing pink Capri pants and a striped polo, hair pulled back in a ponytail, no makeup, looking very fresh...she has flawless skin. He was in some sort of vintage suit.

I (along with the hundreds of other suits catching sun during their lunch-hour) saw Robin Williams and a small film crew on 52nd and Park. He was as he always always appears in my dreams - paunchy, hairy, wearing green cordoroy pants...

Coming out of the post office at 2 pm on Tuesday 4/19, James Caan. Sunken-in, bony face, tiny leukemia legs, shrunken child butt, miraculously swaggering and carrying wide, 2-dimensional torso. He seemed really exhausted with me as I, walking in front of him, repeatedly turned my head to confirm that it was, in fact, Sonny. Then a bunch of idiot British tourists on the corner of 9th made him get out of the way so they could take a picture with a fireman in front of a fire truck.

Saw Bruce Vilanch at 57th street pizza on 8th today (April 19th ). He was beardless (thanks to his Hairspray role) and only had two slices of pizza. I can t tell if I m more embarrassed that I recognized him or that I m actually making the effort to tell people about it.

Saw Ashton Kutcher today (4/19) in the Viacom Building. Must be doing a thing on TRL today. I never realized how much he looks like Courtney Taylor (of the Dandy Warhols) until I saw him in person. Not sure which one has the bigger ego...but I'm sure Courtney Taylor has a younger girlfriend.

Charlie Rose waved at me for allowing his high end convertible (top down) to turn right off of 7^th avenue in the West Village. Had a younger looking Asian woman in the passenger seat wearing sunglasses. Rose is impressive looking in person. Even seated could tell he was tall and sported a healthy tan.

At the Michael Penn show at Joe's pub last night, I was bummed not to spot Michael's angry famous brother, but I did see Revenge of the Nerds Anthony Edwards and SNL's Fred Armisen, " Dios mio!"

I saw Jay-Z last night at the sold-out show of the Bravery at the Bowery Ballroom. He sat in the stage-left balcony with a couple of ladies—-none who happened to be Beyonce. The hiphop celebrity sighting was perhaps the most exciting part of the night—-excepting the quite spirited performance by West Coast trio alaska!. Ash was a bland bore and the Bravery was simply soul-less. The pre-fab rock quintet's lead singer, Sam Endicott, was anything but fab, trying to hard to tap into indie aloofness and ambiguous sexuality—-jokes about making out with the lead singer of Ash falling quite flat (although we hear one of the band members is gay—-who is it, you know?).

saw Scott Caan(Ocean's 11, varsity blues)in union square park this past sunday. He was super sexy in a hat and jeans, but a little short for my taste.My friend and I just happened to be sun bathing right right in his eye line and he totally checked us out, or atleast that's what we keep telling ourselves.

Jay-Z must want to get rid of Beyonce because I saw him at The Bravery show at Bowery on Monday night—and that is so not street.

Late-ish dinner tonight at a deserted Shun Lee West. Just me and my date, a few random Asian tourists and Barry Manilow—sitting at a booth with three (male) friends. Barry has had some excellent cosmetic surgery, and is looking remarkably like you expect him to look, until you realize that what you expect him to look like is circa 1977. Amazing. He and his companions were uniformly fit, tan, well-moisturized and just burst-into-flames gay. Handsome group, though.

Last night I saw President Bill Clinton having dinner with 10 people at BLT steak, with two women sitting on each side of him, as well as Jack Nicohlson, who joined the dinner late and sat at the end.

I had my first Williamsburg celebrity sighting last night. My husband and I were finishing dinner at Peter Lugar's around 10 PM when Busta Rhymes and an 8 person entourage (including a 9 or 10 year old girl and a guy my ignorant husband insisted was Moby until I pointed out that not only would Moby be *highly* unlikely to be in a steakhouse with Busta Rhymes but is also about a foot shorter than this guy) walked in. Maybe he's moved into his Gretsch building apt? For all of the famed rudeness of the Lugar waiters, they can certainly be nice when they see big tip potential. They didn't bat an eye when the steaks were ordered well-done. The best part was walking by his waiting limo outside...is he really so famous he couldn't walk the 3 or so blocks between the Gretsch and Lugar's?

Jamie-Lynn DiScala and Jacob "the Jeweler," 4/19 around 1 pm, walking uptown @ 48th & 5th. She looked cute and unpretentious in sidewalk-scraping jeans and leather thong sandals. He was all in black topped by a long black leather jacket (in 75-degree weather)

In this edition: Minnie Driver, Ashton and Demi, Leo and Giselle, Ben and Christine, Lou Reed, Jay McCarroll, all forms of PoweR Girls (you may only refer to them as such for one more day, btw), Regis Philbin, Penny Lancaster, Wes Craven, Juliana Margulies, Jimmy Smits, Anthony Mackie, Skeet Ulrich, Ryan Gosling, Simon LeBon, Michael Jordon, Chad Lowe, Justin Chambers, Julia Stiles, Long Duck Dong, Scott Speedman, Lohan, Cynthia Nixon, Michael Imperioli, Billy Joel, Drew Lachey, Robin Williams, Michael Michelle, Howard Stern, Sandra Bernhard, Michael Lucas, BD Wong, Charlie Rose, Jessica Hecht, Joy Behar, Sam Champion, Peaches, Paul Sevigny and whole load of hipsters, Michael Stipe, Dylan and Becky Ann Baker, Topher Grace, Kyle McLachlan, Olsens, Vincent Gallo, Jamie Gleicher, Gotti boys, Goo Goo Dolls, Mario Cantone, John Waters, Maya Rudolph, Sean Lennon, Philip Bloch, Linda Evangelista, Robin Williams, Uma Thurman and Andre Balazs, Jay-Z, and Tim Robbins.

I feel bad about doing this, but somehow I think I'd feel worse if I DIDN'T tell you about it . . . I was in line behind Minnie Driver (who was looking tall, sad, and frightened in high heels, black pants, and a cream-colored trench) at the ATM at Rogers Garden Deli on 1st Ave btwn 1st and 2nd. When my turn came, the ATM was still processing Minnie's transaction, asking whether she'd like a receipt. After about a millisecond of soul-searching, I of course I hit "yes." She took out $100, and her remaining balance was 1440.24. Stars . . . they're just like us!

Sunday PM I was witness to our favorite mother-son team, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, getting out of the requisite black tinted big-ass SUV in Nolita. Ashton was dressed and pimped in his punk d getup ( read T-shirt with some kind of ironic slogan, dirty jeans, you get the picture), and of course, a color coordinated trucker hat. Ashton was quite cute, I mean face-wise, not the whole persona thing. Demi was quite small, only came up to her son s chest, and sporting a pair of black sunglasses covering 2/3 of her face. She was dressed like some UES rich wife out strolling on Sunday. I was gawking hard at Demi only because I was fascinated with her wrinkle-free face seriously, it was so tight that you could bounce a quarter off it. They and their entourage of lackeys stopped at the Mayle boutique on Elizabeth, but Ashton didn t go in and sat on the bench outside instead. Seriously, trucker hat, that must be an LA thing.

Today (Sunday 04/17) I shared a restaurant (Rialto on Elizabeth St) with Ashton and Demi. They were with a few other nondescripts. Ashton's looks have never done anything for me until today. He is very, very goodlooking in person. Upon further analysis I realized that half the reason he was so goodlooking was because he was quiet and normal, not that retarded "wacky" Punk'd character. He actually looked very bored (the look suited him). His eyes were wandering everywhere except in Demi's direction. Speaking of which, Homegirl looked old as the hills. And she was wearing TONS of makeup. Much too much. I mean, really.

Saw Leo & Gisele Sunday afternoon (4/17) at the Ashes & Snow Exhibit at Pier 54. He was much taller than expected, actually a few inches taller than her, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, with a fleece around his waist and a Wolverines (?) hat rather than his ubiquitous Lakers gear. She had on a red hat, tank top, khakis and flip flops. She looked amazing, with no make-up at all of course. They breezed through the photo part of the exhibit and watched the movie portion for quite a while. They spent most of the time walking with their heads down and arms around each other and trying not to be noticed, I'm pretty sure my friend and I are the only ones who recognized them. As a result we couldn't pay too much attention to the exhibit until the way out because they were both so damn good looking....

just got back from the nomadic museum (4.14) and spotted ben stiller and christine taylor going in.... i noticed her first - for a brief moment i thought she was ashely olsen... they were both dressed in black and had big black wraparound sunglasses on... ct is glowingly beautiful...

Spotted Lou Reed dining solo at ever-so-trendy Spotted Pig. Walked by several times to verify, and then went directly home (next door) to load my iPod with Loaded. Sweet Jane!

I saw Jay McCarroll of Project Runway fame today walking on Mercer around NYU. He was wearing his typical cowboy hat, vibrant sunglasses, jeans, jacket, etc. I did a doubletake but it was definitely him.

Last night at Level V my friend was kicked off an empty table for the POWER GIRLS (all four of them). Other friends provided their identity since I've never seen the show but know all about it from your super intern! They were mighty cheesy. G-d help us all if they have more than two minutes of fame!

Entered Spamalot last night behind Regis (short? check!) and his wife. Followed Rod Stewart's hair and 7' tall Penny Lancaster out. They got into the wrong limo. Hilarity and the flowing of blonde locks ensued as they ran down 44th St. (hand-in-hand) to find the correct one. They were a spectacle, albeit a darned good looking one.

Saw "Master of Horror" Wes Craven (w/ blond woman in tow...his wife perhaps?) at Thursday night's performance of the The Pillowman. Very low key, sat in the mezzanine...I didn't even notice him 'till my boyfriend pointed him out during intermission.

last night at Caviar & Bananas, fka "The Restaurant", we witnessed of Lizzie's crew (no Millie). while i don't watch the show (my exposure is limited to the Gawker intern synopsis) my friends apparently do and drunkenly, and loudly, informed me that those girls are "POWERFUL". I only really noticed Kelly who was wearing some scarfy halter top in pinks and blues. her hair was way vivid blonde. aside from my friends, no one seemed to notice them.

spotted Juliana Margulies of ER fame (and that's about it, right?) walking towards Bryant Park on 42nd and Madison yesterday. she looked good, but shorter in person (shocker) and a bushy pony tail. she's got a very tight ass.

4/14 Hurlyburly performance I was near Jimmy Smits and his wife/gf/ladyfriend. They were keeping it seriously low profile but rocked out to the talking heads song during intermission. he is pretty tall compared to most actors you spot in real life.

Anthony Mackie (8 mile) outside Public. I think he got out of a BMW. Very Well dressed.

At Cain's Tuesday night Bunny Chow party, Skeet Ulrich was hanging with Ryan Gosling and checking out hottie DJ Sky Nellor. Wednesday night Simon LeBon was there for a party that DJ Pete Tong was throwing and on Thursday Michael Jordan was there. This place is on fire!

just saw chad lowe eating lunch with two guys in the cafeteria here at abc headquarters. it's a beautiful day outside and our food sucks. Not sure what he's thinking. (one of those new man date things??)

I saw Justin Chambers in the Westsude taven in Chelsea. Short and skinny. He was drinking beer and hanging out with a guy in a very cool looking leather blazer. He had sunglasses on his head and black jeans and a fleece. I follwed him outside when he went to smoke a cigarette and he stood there, smoking a marlboro ultra light and scowling. Later he went into the bathroom and I told my boyfriend to follow him in and tell him he had Patrick Swayze eyes (ala Hysterical Blindness) while they were staring at the urinal but it never happened. Too bad. All in all, not impressed.

Sat next to Julia Stiles last night (4/14) at blue ribbon with a group of about 3-4 other nondescript members of the hoi polloi. Cute, nice skin, adorable dimples, said my boyfriend, who also had to alert me to her presence at all since I had been grossly overserved at a wine tasting earlier. i was just trying to keep my eyes open at that point.

Gedde Watanabe, aka Long Duck Dong, stealing a cab from an adorable hailer in front of Juniper Suite on W. 56th on Thursday evening. His "sexy gurr-fend" was in tow.

While at The [NYU] Campus "Cheatery" on 4th Street, I noticed a hot young guy who, I decided, was MY real-life version of Felicity's "Ben." And then I walked outside, noticed a stunningly handsome man with a perfect jawline, and creamed my pants while staring awkwardly at the real thing: Hot Scott Speedman. In perfect form.

Last night in Times Square near the new Hard Rock Cafe, I saw Lindsay Lohan, Colleen Pelletier, Allyson Flloyd, and a bunch of other cast and crew shooting a scene from "Just My Luck" at about 10:00pm.

my first gawker.com submission. the last 20 hours have been the peak of my nyc celeb sighting in my 1 1/2 years here: sat next to /sex in the city/'s cynthia nixon on the bus this morning, crusin down broadway on the m104. the now-blonde was seated at the back next to her adorable, spiffy-looking son charles, apparently on his way to school. was so taken by charles that i didn't even look up to see nixon, my roommate (on my other side) had to point out to me that it was her. as i got off, nixon's partner christine marinoni, who i also hadn't initially noticed because she wasn't sitting next to them (although there was an empty seat next to charles) actually got up and jokingly pretended to sit /on/ charles.

have decided that little kids are the perfect celeb disguise. Almost missed /the sopranos/'s michael imperioli (who plays Christopher moltisanti, tony soprano's coke-snorting, overeager nephew) last night around 8pm walking down west broadway in tribeca. he was wearing a leather jacket and stubble, and had one little kiddo on each side of him, walking hand-in-hand. and a younger woman to the left of one of the kids, the only one not in the chain. the foursome breezed past the 2/3 stop at chambers, waited for the light, and then crossed and continued south.

what a busy day yesterday was! that was after seeing a driver open the back door of a black car pulled up at the southwest corner of hudson and laight street at 1pm, out of which stepped musician billy joel, lookin snazzy but also stubbly and short in jeans and a jacket. a male friend got out of the car, too, then stood talking for a moment on the corner, and then walked south on hudson.

saw drew lachey at coffee shop in union square last night... at first I thought it was nick, but after some consideration decided it was his look-alike brother. he was with some guy and they were discreetly sat without having to wait.

Mork on Mulberry! On Saturday afternoon, people in Nolita were treated to an apres Brunch treat. Robin Williams was at the weekly young designers market in NoLita (aka as theMarketNYC) on Mulberry between Houston and Prince. He was with his wife, son, and his son's girlfriend. Robin walked around for checking out the hip and original designs of the young designers and even bought a few things. He was spotted buying some jewelry, a vintage belt buckle. He wasn't bothered for the first 30 minutes but then some people started stealing pictures of him, which didn't phase him at all. He waited outside for the rest of his group and he was mobbed by some fans. He signed autographs, posed for pics, and shook hands. Nano Nano. The next day Michael Michelle was seen at the market, though she didn't buy anything.

On Friday evening at 6.15, I saw Howard Stern heading into Da Silvano. Apparently they run an early-bird special for senior citizens and their large-breasted, bottle blonde sidekicks.

Walking down 9th Ave near 18th St. on Sat. eve, a woman in a khaki pantsuit approached with another woman and a little girl holding hands between them. My boyfriend was on the phone but immediately recognized the woman in khaki in question to be Sandra Bernhard. Not wanting to interrupt his phone call but having to say something, he twiddled his fingers at her and said "Sandra! HEY!" She responded with a hearty "HEY!!!" in her trademark snarl. Less remarkable, a few blocks up on 9th Ave: porn czar Michael Lucas window shopping with a couple who appeared to be his parents.

Saw BD Wong walking down Broadway in his gym clothes, maybe on the way to Crunch. Hands in pockets, looking down. Then Charlie Rose drove by in an open-top black car. He looked very weird. Hair dyed bizarrely, looked like he was wearing make-up. Alone in the car. It was very "look at me". Then, about an hour later, I saw Jessica Hecht from Friends, eating soup, standing on 15th Street, talking to some people.

Saw The View's favorite firecrotch, Joy Behar, at the Saturday evening performance of HurlyBurly. Before the show started my roommate and mom felt the need to stare Joy down as she sat facing the audience with her leg crossed over the arm rest. At intermission Joy and her much older date (lover mayhaps?) switched to stealth mode and snuck out.

Today, Saturday, 4/16/05, was a beautiful sunny day in NY. Broadway in Soho was jammed with people and like a walking fluorescent bulb, there was the blonde Sam Champion. If he was planning to walk around incognito, dude, wearing head to toe white isn't the proper ensemble to wear. He was walking with a black dude and methinks SC has gotten more muscular and buffer. He was looking good.

wednesday at the marquee club.saw princess superstar hanging out with peaches, paul sevigney, asfour and that melissa burns girl from w.i.t. they all seemed happy having a great time. later i saw peaches and melissa canoodeling in the corner! i heard it was melissa's birthday party.

I saw michael stipe, with what appeared to be his boyfriend coming out (ha ha) of the chase manhattan bank on the corner of 12th street and 8th avenue. Both looked very confused, wearing paperboy hats, boyfriend (?) was carrying flowers.

Just saw michael stipe sunday afternoon apparently looking at real estate in park slope.

I saw Dylan Baker (13 Days, Spider Man 2, Kinsey) and his lovely wife Becky Ann Baker (Freaks And Geeks) at the Times Square Chevy's on Friday night.

Today i was was having a nice sunny saturday afternoon with my friend walking her dog. As we stolled down second ave we passed by a very plain looking julia stiles. Following our uneventful sighting we proceeded to talk about how pissed we were that we had not seen topher grace since he moved to nyc. We walked over to Washington square park to find Topher Grace sitting on a bench with a some short dude and his little dog. He looked very cute, skinny and had a beard. A Lauren Prepon lookalike came and met them. They walked the dog around and then Topher stood in front of the NYU library for a couple minutes alone and then hopped in a cab with his dog. Needless to say, my friend and i were pleased with finally getting out topher sighting.

Looking homeless-delish, Scott Speedman in the bodega on the corner of West 3rd and Sullivan. Nice ass.

On Saturday 4/16 we were at the little flea market at 18^th st & 7^th . I turned my head and found my self standing next to an Olsen twin. I have no idea which one. When I went to find my friend and ask her, the twin was gone into her truck/limo. She was with a husky bearded dude. Not very attractive.

It turned out to be a double sighting day. As we crossed 7^th at 21^st street we walked into an oddly coiffed Kyle Mclachlan tugging two little dogs somewhere.

As I was walking to the subway after work(4/15), on 6th Ave just past Spring St, I spotted Vincent Gallo eating at a sidewalk cafe. He was staring at everyone that walked by, and was sitting so he was practically facing the street so people couldn't help but notice him. Not a block later, I walked by Jamie Gleicher, Gleichman - whatever - the Jewier one from MTV's Rich Girls. She was wearing a hoodie, with the hood up, and a jersey skirt, and talking loudly on her cell phone. The awful voice was what made me notice her.

Saw the PoweR Girls stumble into Marquee - where they didn't stay long because they had such a hard time getting in at the door. Imagine - they weren't recognized and given a table immediately. Also at Marquee - saw the Gotti brothers. All dressed in white as though it was Diddy's white party. Apparently, the camera doesn't add that much because they had just as much gel on in person as on TV. They stood, never leaving each other's side and didn't speak much to anyone. Jess Palmer (former Bachelor) was also in attendance. He sat on the top of a couch (maybe so people could see him better?) and sucked face with a skinny brunette who couldn't stand up and walk on her own without falling. Quddus (host of TRL) was also there and was pretty chill amongst the crowd as girl after girl flashed him their pretty smiles.I'm ashamed to say that these sightings helped to highlight the evening. I usually pride myself on not helping to encourage the reality show d-list celebrity facade.

i saw ashley olsen scratching her ass while in the whole foods soup aisle yesterday. she was a bitch and gave me the finger when she caught me looking at her. whatevs, dude. in my mind, she will forever be that lovable scamp michelle tanner, waddling around in diapers and saying "Right on, dude!" to uncle jesse.

my roommate and I were satisfying our beef craving the other night at peter luger when a group of four guys in matching adidas tracksuits rode up and parked their vespas outside. When they too off their helmets right out our window we were shocked to see it was actually the goo goo dolls — or at least johnny and robbie and some pals. for a bunch of old soft rock has beens in matching outfits, they sure were hot. Johnny goo even smiled at me when he caught me staring at him.

Last Sunday on 9^th Avenue and 14^th Street, walked right past the jean-clad, diminutive Laugh Whore himself Mario Cantone, accompanied by a much taller man (a significant other??). Mario was not as loud as I had expected but wildly gesticulating nonetheless . A mere few minutes later, on 8^th Avenue, in the low 20 s, spotted Parker Posey. She was sitting on a bench, with some non-descript male, right in front of one of the many gay establishments Walked right past her but decided to turn around to take a better look her hair was all afro (I guess for the play) and she had a pair of ghastly gold wedge shoes on! Her skin did not look too good .

This past Saturday John Waters taking a leisurely stroll on West 13^th Street, between 8^th & 9^th Avenues. His companion looked a mere 20 years old or so, wearing a very slacker get-up, spiky hair and all. Mr. Waters infamous mustache looks very fake, by the way as if it s painted on yes, I was this close to the happy go lucky couple . Had early dinner at Pastis on Saturday the paparazzi were stalking in full force. Apparently Ms. Lohan was staying at the Gansevoort Hotel across the street alas did not see her But if I have, I d given her a piece of my mind for keeping us up the other day, filming her new movie all night long, right underneath my windows ^

Sunday saw Maya Rudolph and some SNLish people walking into Scoopnyc in the meatpacking district .. altogether,,,while Christina Applegate s husband (the guy from that movie That Thing You Do) walked by walking there tinsy little dog . Then Leo and Giselle eating burgers in Pop Burger .. She is ridiculous.. he not so much so .i had heard he wasn t that impressive.. and its true.

On Friday I saw Rod Stewart shoe shopping on 5^th Ave. I pretty sure it was the real Rod and not his fake impersonator who likes to ride around on the F train - he was buying a pretty expensive pair of shoes and was trying to get the salesman to messenger the shoes to his hotel.

Yesterday (4/17) I had a wonderfully calm afternoon, accidentally trailing Sean Lennon and his skinny (but not busted) gal-pal twice (oh, but it gets better, read on). The first time, I was walking south on Mercer, towards Prince, behind the two. My first thought was, "Someone with that much facial hair must be trying to cover-up something." Then I saw who it was. He's gained weight and, like I said, facial shrubbery since I saw him last, when he had brunch at Columbus Bakery (the one on the UWS) with his then-girlfriend Bijou Philips. Anyways, Sean and the girl crossed over Prince, and I lost them. Fast forward to an hour later, as I'm walking up Greene, between Spring and Prince, and I recognize the blue cords Sean had been wearing. He was walking with 4 other people, one of whom was freshly-tanned (this wasn't no Mystic Tan) Vincent Gallo. Since I wasn't really in an oh-my-god-I'm-in-the-presence-of-hipster-celebs mode, I was trailing them pretty closely and, actually, trying to figure out how to pass them b/c they were walking around like tourists, and, for this reason, Mr. Gallo kept looking at me, as if to say, "May I help you?" I was finally able to pass them when Gallo started talking about some building across the street, both architecturally and in terms of who the original owners were. It seemed that he was talking to Sean directly, for a reason, so maybe Sean's buying up some SoHo real estate? Price, obviously, would not be an issue.

saw philip bloch on the west side highway's pedestrian walkway on Saturday afternoon, 4/16. my friend said "isn't that philip bloch?" I looked and only saw a crazy homeless man talking to himself. a few seconds later, he passed us. it was philip bloch! he wore burgundy track pants w/white stripes down the side, a vest over a long sleeve top, a beige knit beanie and a black nylon prada messenger bag. he made a U turn and passed us again a few minutes later. philip was animatedly talking, gesticulating with his hands and shaking his head. no cell phone headset was visible in either ear and he was alone. perhaps he was practicing his lines? shortly thereafter we saw linda evangelista at the catherine maladrino store in the meatpacking district. she looked great, not bloated and out of shape as previously reported in gawker stalker. hollow cheekbones, pale skin, yellow tinted sunglasses, white trench coat and jeans. I had just seen her "flashback" page in W along with her MAC viva glam ad so it was strange to see her in real life. I was surprised to see that she was a normal height. I always thought she was at least 5'11". a woman shopping at the store fell as linda passed by her. we thought it was because she was too busy staring at the 80s supermodel to notice the step down.

robin williams, his wife and kids were browsing at the young designers market on mulberry street. he was very low key, making a couple of purchases. people for the most part left him alone, though as he left i couldn't resist stopping him (apologetically...i never bother celebs) to tell him how much i loved the movie TOYS. he seemed a little taken aback but was very kind and talked to me for a bit about what a beautifully shot movie it was and how much he liked the art director. very cool.

I passed Uma Thurman and some guy on the sidewalk on Mercer St. just south of Houston Friday night. Felt really uncool for not knowing who he was- Andre or something? Obviously I haven't yet earned an Olsen sighting...

Saw Jay-Z last night (4/17) getting out of his Maybach and walking into Cipriani in SOHO. Looked great and was with a group of guys. Unfortunately, no Beyonce to be seen.

I was sobbing on the phone to my therapist's answering machine on Sunday around 5 or 6pm, on 14th and 6th, when all of a sudden Mr. Susan Sarandon rollerblades up next to me with his son. I interrupted my emotional meltdown long enough to inform my therapist that Tim Robbins looked really hot. Then I went back to my misery and got on the F train. It made me feel like I was in a movie! A really bad one about a crying cellphone girl!

Saw Uma Thurman and Andre Balzas at brunch at Balthazar on Saturday morning. She was not wearing any make-up and her was messy, but she still was looking good. At one point she reached over and affectionately rubebd Andre's head. Very cute.

You know how I half-try (only half, mind you) to edit, group and organize these bitches in order of importance or whatever? Not so much right now. The quantity of sightings is just too massive; I love you kids in the springtime.

In this edition: Lindsay Lohan, Edie Falco, Kieran Culkin, Drew and Fab, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, Olsens, Mark Hoppus, Selma Blair, Bob Saget, William H. Macy, Dick Gephardt, Kathy Lee Gifford, Vanessa Carlton, Fonzworth Bentley, Queer Eyes, Vincent Guastaferro, Gilbert Godfriend, Bobby Cannavale, Annabella Sciorra, Bill Murray, PJ Harvey, Ad-Rock, David Byrne, Billie Joe, Ryan Adams, Abigail Vona, Christian Slater, Bobby Baccala, Samaire Armstrong, Richie Rich, Tatum O'Neal, Jake Shears, Boy George, Anderson Cooper, Jay McCarroll, Hank Azaria, Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlie Rose, Famke Janssen, Mya, Mickey Rourke, Carla Gugino, Jeff Goldblum, Billy Crudup, Topher Grace, Rufus and Sally Albermarle, Parker Posey, Bebe Neuwirth, John Cameron Mitchell, Idina Menzel, Rachel Ray, Billy Crystal, Rebecca Gayhart, Reuben Studdard, Delta Burke, Christie Brinkley and Ed Burns, Alan Cumming, Cher, Martha Plimpton, Bruce Willis, Jean Claude Van Damme, Richard Schiff, Daryl Hannah, Jimmy Smits, Mario Cantone, Mike Myers, Lance Armstrong, Chris Robinson, Matt Dillon, Calvin Klein, Lizzie Grubman, LL Cool J, Katie Holmes, David Duchovny, Jon Legend, Al Reynolds, Alicia Keys, Sam Waterson, Christian Campbell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Charlotte Ronson, and William Fichter.

Saw Lindsay Lohan at Jamba Juice on Houston & Mercer. After I walked in, I got in line and was behind the star and two L.I. trashy bleached blonde types. Lindsay was busy talking on her cell phone, constantly walking in and out of the store, fighting with whoever was on the other line. Her order was taking too long so she came back in the store and bitched at her friends to hurry the Jamba Juice workers up so she can have her precious juice. She was cute, had REALLY tacky clothes, and was super-skinny (read: coke whore).

Just saw them shooting a scene from Lindsay Lohan's new movie "Just My Luck" in front of the church down the street from me (10th and Avenue A). Funny they rehearse the scene without her and then she gets driven down the block from her trailer in an SUV, hops out and does 2 takes. Then she got bitchy about something and was stomping her feet, complaining to her assistants. One PA says, "What's she so bitchy about?" and the other says, "Who knows? She's always like that." Probably she was bitchy because there were no cosmos and over 35 year old actors to suck face with. Her hair is uber-red, as previously reported. But pretty cute.

Went grocery shopping with Edie Falco on Saturday at the Greenwich St (at Bethune) D'Ag. She was unmakeuped with small child in tow. Definitely seemed bright and cheery since Tony wasn't around barking out orders for leftover meatballs.

On Friday night (4/8), Kieran Culkin was seen hanging out with 2 friends at Beauty Bar. I had to do a double take because the last time I saw a picture of Kieran was when he was doing press Igby Goes Down. Later that night, Drew Barrymore and her Strokes beau, Fabrizio Moretti, were spotted at the very same bar. They canoodled and all seemed well until Drew stormed off with her friend while Fabrizio stayed behind hanging out. He didn't seem fazed. I hoped Drew would come back but It was late so I left. I did grazed Fabrizio's bottom as I passed by him. I'll never wash my hand again!

kevin bacon and kyra sedgwick with kids in tow at shun lee west 04/10/05.both aging terribly, looking straggly and gaunt.What happened to kyra?face was really sunken. scary.

At Gourmet Garage on Broome Street yesterday at around 7:30pm I spied a strung out looking Olsen twin barely able to walk, Courtney Lovin' it, held up by her burly driver and a frat boy who looked like a husky Ninja turtle. I immediatley called my little sister who informed that the darker haired sister is Mary Kate , so it was most likely her and not Ashley.

Was walking by the Soho Grand on Sunday when I noticed an effeminate man with his legs crossed sitting with his LV luggage waiting for a car. Realized it was Mark Hoppus from Blink-182, sitting next to his woman. They looked bored and weren't talking. My friend wanted to get his autograph ("I LOVE Blink-180!" were her actual words) but I managed to talk her down.

last night (4/13) i saw Ashley Olsen and Selma Blair sitting together at the Mercer Hotel. I thought it was an unusual match, but the 2 were talking away like they were best friends. They ordered some food and both ate...Ashley seemed to have more of an appetite than Selma. My friend and I were there for about an hour and the 2 were chatty the entire time.

The gawk-perils of living and working in midtown west...Saw Bob Saget Wednesday afternoon (4/6), walking north on 8th Ave at about 47th. Must have been after the matinee of his show. He looked very out of "dad" character, typing something into his Sidekick. Saw me gawking and quickly looked back down, as if I really cared. Very tall, very geeky, very pale, walking with two women. Then, Saturday night three blocks north, I passed William H. Macy, also with two women (but no Desperate Housewife! Damn!!). His reddish gold hair and even redder face looked uber-shiny, he smiled at me and reminded me of Papa Smurf...

walking east on 55th Street between Madison and Park today I crossed paths with former Democratic Presidential candidate Dick Gephardt. he was wearing a navy blue suit and a gorgeous plum tie, and was pulling his own luggage along behind him as he talked on his cell phone, avoiding eye contact at all costs. what, did his limo or taxi break down or something? I have to say was very powerful-looking in person, and his apricot-colored hair was perfect. am I saying I found him attractive? I'll never tell.

Greenwich, Conneticut- visiting my parents early this morning, saw Kathie Lee Gifford at the local Starbucks. She actually looked good, which suprised me. I think she's had work done. Pretty dull sighting, even for a Monday.

vanessa carlton was eating brunch at jane in soho on sunday with her mumma looking very un-celebrity like but was super sweet to my waitress friend, and then fonzworth of p.diddy fame strolled passed me on spring street wearing a t-shirt with a sweater tied around his waist. he looked shorter than i would have imagined and dorky.would never guess the boy can dance..

Had a triple play on Sunday. Walked by Carson Kressley having a slice of pizza next to the Chelsea movie theater. His T-shirt was so perfectly half tucked, I think is was tailored that way. Then, at the Sushi place further along 23rd street, saw "Hey! It's that guy" Vincent Guastaferro, character actor extraordinaire. He most recently played the Teacher's Union guy on the last West Wing who got Jimmy Smits nominated for president. Finally walking up 8th Ave. we saw Gilbert Godfried who we see all the time as he lives in the neighborhood.

I was in the audience with my girlfriend at the Coney Island Freakshow Sunday and Bobby Cannavale and Annabella Sciorra came in with two kids. Annabella was squeamish and walked out during the hot sword swallower girl and then came in and was laughing and having fun after that. The kids they were with (maybe hers?) went on stage with Eak the freak and were cute.

Sighted celebs galore at the LCD Soundsystem show at Bowery Ballroom: PJ Harvey, Ad Rock from the Beastie Boys, and David Byrne... and then a few days later at the Bloc Party after, um, party, I was waiting in line for the downstairs bathroom at Pianos, and who should appear but Billie Joe from Green Day? His (very LA'ish) entourage obviously expected us to let him cut, but no dice. Billie Joe, however, was very nice, and waited in line cooly and calmly. He even let a bunch of rabid fans talk his ear off while we were waiting, which I thought was sorta nice and all. But man oh man, he's really tiny.... and he wears a lot of eyeliner.

Last Wednesday (4/6) saw Bill Murray walking around Barnard College campus. I think he was going to see a play that is being performed there.

Moments ago at Pastis... Blonde Olsen Twin and BOB SAGET with a young brunette likely daughter, but possibly not. Blonde Olsen taking a Red Bull in the can. standing at bar, Bobby Baccala from the Sopranos. He is not a small man.

Coming home from my girlfriend's around 10:30 on 4/11, I do a double take as I open the door to my building. Standing on the sidewalk, cigarette in hand, typing on Blackberry, with fat unidentified friend is none other than Christian Slater. I told him he was awesome on the West Wing and was surprised at the considerable husk in his voice. Better quit those cigs! He had on jeans, black Prada loafers and a white button down that had weird french cuffs that took links on the outside edge.

Niagara late thursday night, when at the next table sits rocker/country folky/uber-slacker Ryan Adams having a loud drunken argument with his pal, a writer/loser who is a regular, otherwise I don't think he'd ever be recognized by anyone).that guy was chatting up with "Bad Girl" teen novelist/literary agent semen receptacle Abigail Vona. It was loud and obnoxious (as ryan can be), and seemed like the two guys were joking, since it quickly degraded into drunken semi-homoerotic noogies. Ms. Vona was more interested in rock star ryan, but he was missing parker posey, who is doring HurlyBurly now.

I saw Samaire Armstrong hangin' out at The Kills concert on Monday. Sadly she didn't seem to have Lindsay Lohan along as an accessory (just some unfamous friends).

I had a stalker attack last night (Tuesday). Was hankerin' for a Pop Burger mini burger so we stopped into the burger joint and as we were walking over I was telling my friend about Tatum O'Neal's lesbian incident at Pop Burger that was in Page Six last week. To my shock who should walk up to the door of Pop Burger but Tatum O'Neal herself- either she's got balls or no publicist person to give her advice about that stuff. Apparently there was a party in the back room, as we saw a few of the Scissor Sisters (including Jake Shears in tight TIGHT pink pants, yum). Also spied Boy George, Michael Stipe from REM, that annoying guy that won Project Runway [Jay McCarroll], everyone from Heatherette including hot ass transexual Amanda Lepore (who's tits are even bigger than you imagine in person) and that cute girl from the OC, Samaire Armstrong. We later went to Bowery Bar's gay "beige" party and saw Samaire again dancing around and screaming with Richie Rich from Heatherette. We got excited anticipating a Lohan siting but weren't so lucky. Also Bruce Villanch was at Beige, odd.

I saw Hank Azaria on the corner of 48th and 8th today (4/13). Taller than I expected, dressed in a slick black leather jacket and very nice sunglasses. Really good looking. Talking to a girl.

saw leonardo dicaprio yesterday (4/13) at lga on the 830am shuttle to boston, sans giselle. he stood out more as the only person not dressed in a suit.he was with two male friends, none of them seemed to be a bodyguard, though.leo was in a lakers cap (shocker) and dark sunglasses, and bought a pre-flight yogurt. much taller and thinner than expected.

Walking to work about half an hour ago (10:30 am 4/14), I saw a convertible Mini Cooper scooting down Mad. Ave. at 38th St. Inside was Charlie Rose driving with the top down, looking very rugged (or ragged, depending on how you look at things) in his beep-beepin' little speed machine. V. sexy, Charlie!

I saw Famke Janssen, who is absolutely beautiful in person, at Cain last night mingling with stars of the new film, It's All Gone Pete Tong. It was the premiere after party. She seemed to be having a good time, having a couple drinks and talking with friends.

mya at dinner late last night 4/14 1245amish at blue ribbon. with a gentleman sitting in a small corner table.

Sin City castmembers have been trolling Mercer Street these days. Mickey Rourke has been walking his tiny pooch up and down during smoking breaks. While a possible cousin to Tinkerbell Hilton, the little woofer seems more dignified under the arms of the former bruiser than some socialite. Mickey is short,a bit puffy, sunburnt pink, and weathered - but impressive nonetheless. He used to box in front of crowds, but autograph seekers seem to actually unnerve him - leave the guy alone! Carla Gugino looks about 22 in pulled back hair, jeans, all-stars, and a sweater that concealed her now famous bosoms. She manages to walk unperturbed by the sly glances of us menfolk. My glance was extra sly and extra long. I expect to see Benecio during my lunchbreak.

Saw Jeff Goldblum and Billy Crudup at Sardi's; they were there post-performance of The Pillowman (really good, btw) for some dinner given by rich people who donated money to the theater society. Jeff is tall-6'4"-and very sweet: he kissed my mother on the cheek and gave me an autograph signed 'Love!'. Not to be catty but his fiancee is approximately 11.5 years old. Billy was not as tall but, obviously, much better-looking, and he hugged me after I told him how great he had been (I wasn't lying, though of course I'd say that anyway). Then he signed my playbill and ran off while the rest of the cast stuck around for dinner.. probably to go meet Claire Danes. Yuck.

I was in a very trendy very overpriced shop on spring street this Sunday. As I was looking in the mirror I heard this voice behind me say, "Excuse me I need to use the mirror".I turn around and its that dude Topher Grace from TV.He proceeded to push his way in front of me and project his thoughts on the jacket he was trying on loud enough for the entire store to hear.He seemed very interested in drawing attention to his celebrity and providing entertainment for the two fawning teenaged girls that were following him around. I stood there for a minute, in awe of the show I was haphazardly throw into when finally he directed his attention towards me and said, "Come on, what do you think?!" (pointing to his jacket). It gave me great pleasure to tell him I did not prefer it. All in all he seems way cooler on the tube.

Had some interesting midday sightings. First, I went to the Antique Cafe for lunch and was sitting near The Earl and Countess of Albermarle you know, those funky royals Rufus and Sally. They were with a nanny and two boys and a friend. The only royal scandal to report was that one of the kids got chocolate all over his face. (It's funny when a toddler named Augustus gets scolded.) Just a few minutes after leaving the place I saw Charlie Rose, who had been pulled over by two cops. No idea why they were hassling him. They were showing him a piece of white paper. He was definitely getting
recognized by puzzled passersby. The fuzz eventually let him go. Whew!

Saw Parker Posey checking out at Whole Foods Union Square.Couldn't see what she was buying, but she was wearing these amazing gold metalic clogs.

Saw Bebe Neuwirth walking up Sixth Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets.Almost missed her - she looked so normal.

saw John Cameron Mitchell at Phoenix on 13th and A on Saturday, 8:45ish pm. He was tiny and with some gym queens who thought they were uber hot and weren't so wrong that they needed to be slapped or anything. But they weren't all that.

I just got back from the Food Emporium on 14th (by Fourth), and while I was there, Idina Menzel almost ran into me.At first I didn't believe it either, but who else has cheekbones sharp enough to cut you? Maybe nobody told her about the brand-new Whole Foods a block away. She looked busy, with hair a smidge wilder than usual, and very short.

saw rachel ray (aka the insane woman who makes thirty minute meals on the food network) about a week ago on 19th and broadway, she was with a pack of men smiling from ear to ear with very blond streaked hair. The perfect word to describe her: jolly.

Around noon on 4/10 at Broadway and 57th I had pulled over to park briefly in an open spot when people started yelling (at me, apparently). Suddenly the most enormouse SUV appeared in my rearview mirror and literally rolled into my rear bumper instead of waiting for me to get out of the way.Who should hop out but miniscule Lindsay Lohan the 10 people yelling at me turned out to be crappy PAs.I was apparently in Her spot. I moved once the little LA hellions backed off and the SUV gave me an inch to maneuver in. Lindsay trotted off to do her scene in the "rain" on one of the most beautiful spring days we've had so far.

After several unexciting sightings (Billy Crystal outside his theater signing autographs, Rebecca Gayhart and Delta Burke doing the same, and Bob Saget near Times Square talking on his cell phone), we returned to our hotel for one last drink in the bar.There, in the tiny lounge at The Muse, we heard the sweetest voice singing snippets of songs at the next table. And, turned around to see it was Reuben Studdard, American Idol himself.He and some friends were very low key, drinking champagne, chatting and laughing.He smiled when he saw that we recognized him, and seemed relieved when we didn't bother him. However, after his group left, the bartender groused about the size of the tip. Oh well, no one's perfect!

was at en japanese brasserie on hudson for happy hour last night (4/11) and ended up staying for dinner. sure glad i did - ended up sitting next to christy turlington and ed burns; they are super duper goodlooking wish they would get a bun in that oven! didn't hear much except that they were very polite and were raving about the food.

My girlfriend and I saw Alan Cumming walking by Bungalow 8 last weekend and she remarked that he could play a very young Pee Wee Herman if there was ever a movie done of his life. And I said they'd have to bring back Divine for Pee Wee's later years. Anyway I'm sure Alan has better projects to do.

On Monday 4/11, upon leaving Serendipity with my brother and sister (their idea, not mine), we heard whispers that Cher just entered the establishment. We whipped right back around and pushed through the crowd, exclaiming something about a lost wallet and having to pee. Saw Ms. "I Got You Babe" in the flesh, seated right by the restroom. We took turns waiting for the each other to use the restroom and staring at Cher.

Double sighting at Fred's on the upper west side. Saw Martha Plimpton and Bruce Willis having late dinner on the same night (Sat., Apr.9). Plimpton was with a cute brunette and looked kind of adorable. Willis, at another table, was doing some major-league canoodling with a twenty year old modelly-looking female. He had a ridiculous skull cap thing on his head and looked like Methuselah next to his date, who had the skin of a newborn. The long-haried roadie-type they were with paid the check.

So yesterday I was at the corner of 55^th St. and Broadway, and an overly tan little man dressed like he was auditioning for Miami Vice caught my eye. I thought, it looks a lot like Jean-Claude Van Damme, but considering that I have never seen one of his films, I was pretty unsure of myself. But as he kept walking towards me, I realized sure enough, it was the muscles from Brussels.

My boyfriend and I were waiting in line outside of Tartine in the West Village Monday night when Topher Grace walked up with and older couple that looked like it could be his parents.They saw the line and discussed waiting before deciding to head somewhere else.He didn't use his status to cut in front of the rest of us, which was very polite of him.He looked like a regular guy out with his parents.

La Goulue,Sun. night, 4/10, around 9:15. Finished with dinner and trying to put on my coat in the crowded...um, charming, "Parisian" bistro, heard about three words and saw familiar facial hair as I overhung a neighboring table. Instantly recognized the source as Richard Schiff (Toby "Mr. Personality" Ziegler on West Wing/Jerry Wexler in "Ray"). Think he was with two women, but since I was staring down into his soup I made a hasty retreat through the - did I mention - crowded room?

I was waiting outside of a restaurant on West 23rd St and Eighth Avenue when Daryl Hannah walked past me on her way westward. Her head was slumped down and covered by a cap but I still recognized her face when she slipped by me. She wasn't wearing any makeup and looked a bit haggard and tired. She was schlepping her drycleaning on her back along with a shopping bag or two and seemed loathe for anyone to recognize her. In an unusual move for me, I decided to respect her privacy and not talk to her. Who knows, though, it might have brightened up her day a bit. I bet she didn't have to carry her own clothes back when Splash was big.

Saw Jimmy Smits and Mario Cantone (not together; the mind reels at the height difference alone) at Tuesday 4/12 performance of "The Pillowman". Smits looking good dressed down in khakis and untucked cotton shirt. Was with the wife(?) who looked like she never stops nagging him. Didn't see much of Cantone except denim jacket and unremarkable companion. Nobody pestered either of them, though there was lots of (not so) casual posing for (not so) surreptitious staring at Smits.

Last night (4/12) saw Mike Myers sitting at the bar of Blue Mill Tavern around 10 o'clock. I was trying to act like I was just looking in his direction, but he totally caught me. Was wearing dark clothes, with unidentifiable man. He was pretty cute with decent hair, which surprised me, as he usually has wierd haircuts in pictures.

I was hauling my fat-ass around the park this morning at about 6:15 when Mr. Cheryl Crow [Lance Armstrong] blew by me on his super-turbo-shiny bike at a million miles an hour. I thought about trying to get on his wheel, but then I remembered how slow I am.

Chris Robinson walking up hudson, ipod, aviators, jeans with patches, cool rock star groove going on today

Last night Leo and his gang were spotted having a late night supper at Koi- food wasnt the only thing they seemed to be enjoying. The gang also seemed to enjoy the view- a sexy brunette and a hot blonde sitting across the way.

On Monday afternoon, I saw Matt Dillon having lunch alone in Josephina s on the upper west side. He was on his cell asking did you hear about Patricia? , but then quieted down and finished his fries. He was reading the rest of the time. When he was leaving, he put on dark glasses and a black leather jacket and looked HOTTER than ever! He smiled at me on his way out!

i saw calvin klein in west village coffee shop doma.

saw lizzie grubman at evil trendy restaurant koi, she was there w cheban and a table full of guys who looked they were from long island.

Last night, I was moseying over to Fairway supermarket, and I saw a big hullabaloo on the side of the Beacon Theatre (across the street at 75^th & Broadway). It turned out that it was the red carpet for the VH1 Save the Music show, so I had some primo sightings as people came out of their cars. I saw the top of LL Cool J s head from afar, nothing to report but nice hat dude! Then I saw Katie Holmes, she is gorgeous and really tall and thin; David Duchovny, who is /so much /hotter than he appears on screen; Heidi Klum, who I did not think was that great before but now know is really tall, stunning and did not look pregnant; Jon Legend, who I had never heard of before but woo hoo; and Alicia Keys, who looked great, although I didn t like the nude sheath she was wearing. I also lucked out and got free tickets to the show, so viva la VH1! Once inside, I had the funniest sighting of the night, when I saw Al Reynolds bounding up the stairs. I spoke to him a little, he did not seem overly gay which was very surprising, but when I asked him where Star was, he kind of grimaced. But the man is really good looking! Anyway, it was fun, and it was nice to see tall celebs for a change.

Last Thursday (4/7) my boyfriend and I were having a drinks outside at Merchants on 7th Ave. to celebrate the beautiful weather.We'd been there for about an hour when Mario Cantone struts by in head-to-toe denim, gabbing away on his cell. (not too dissimilar from his character on Sex in the City.) Then minutes later Sam Waterston from Law and Order strolls by, walking a dog that apparently looked just like him.I didn't see it though.Funny how people get dogs that resemble them.

I saw Christian Campbell at the Chelsea Market on 9th Avenue, early Sunday afternoon, 4/10/05 with a girl. He looked cute, a tad too pretty for my taste, and surprisingly not that tall. Definitely a prettier version of Neve.

Heading West from Magnolia Bakery on Monday night [4/11] and who do I see walking towards us but the adorable and smiling Maggie Gyllenhaal. She was all bundled up in the spring chill and walking with another young woman. Seemed very low key and down to earth.

I just saw Daryl Hannah walking down 57th street near Carnegie Hall. She looked at me and seemed to be hoping that no one was looking at her.She wore a messenger hat, a jean jacket and jeans.She looked beautiful but absolutely exhausted.

I just saw Charlotte Ronson while walking back to my office in the fashion district.She was standing on a corner being lectured by an older man and did not look happy.She was holding a black portfolio and looked very forlorn... didn't she just leave Damon Dash or something? Guess the new business prospects aren't so swell.But, as always, she looked cute, wearing a shrunken jacket with Diesel jeans and brown suede bag.

I saw William Fichter on the UWS sat afternoon. He looked like he'd just come from central park. was in sweats and a hat, had that just worked out flush. My friend and i recognized him immediately, but couldn't place him to one specific movie. I did some sleuthing and found him on IMDB and he really is in Everything...still, he managed to go unnoticed among the throngs of people.

While strolling down Sullivan street on a beautiful (finally) Saturday, I saw Jai Rodriguez walking past Sullivan Bakery. I turned to my boyfriend and said "Hey, that was one of the guys from Queer Eye!" He said, "Which one?" to which I replied, "You know, the gay one!" Not my greatest Mensa moment.

Saw Debbie Harry at the Maroon 5 concert on Friday, April 8^th at Radio City. No one seemed to know who she was. Probably because the average median age was about 12. Great show nonetheless.

On Saturday 4/9 I was walking by the Meier buildings in the West Village with a friend when we walked right by Leo and Giselle. They were on bikes looking up at the buildings. She was wearing a black track suit and a red hat, very skinny with beautiful long hair. He was wearing sweats and a t-shirt with a hat and sunglasses. No one seemed to notice them. After a few minutes they rode away, heading downtown.

4/11 - 8:30a - 38th & 6th — Crossed the street opposite Anderson Cooper, who was demonstrating the "Commuter Breakfast" with a cheek full of balance bar and a can of seltzer (?). Settle down now, Coop, I'm sure there's room for you to enjoy a leisurely meal at the office. I saw Ty Pennington at the Bistro on Spring and Green yesterday for lunch. He was with a cute blonde and was very pleasant to everyone that passed buy and talked to him. He looks exactly like you expect him too; skinny and tan, but cut up. He's a good looking dude.

Ate dinner at Babbo last night (4.10), and as my husband and I were paying the check, in walks Slick Willy himself, complete with Hil and Chelsea in tow. (Chelsea had a guy with her too). Bill looked surprisingly well for having just had surgery, and Hil and Chelsea looked much better than they have in the past. Chelsea must have been a friend of someone who worked in the kitchen — he came over to their table, kissed her hello, and she introduced him to her parents.

saw Topher Grace last Saturday on Houston Street. He was walking w/another guy, that i did not recognize. He was taller than i thought (close to 6') and pretty thin—had on jeans and a tshirt, seemed very normal and laidback, looked like he was just walking around and shopping some. he was very cute!

saw Johnny Knoxville last Sunday walking down Thompson Street w/another guy. He had on a budweiser shirt and some ratty pants and converse...just like he looks on tv.

Meryl Streep!!! This is by far my favorite sighting, my mom is so jealous! She looked gorgeous, no wrinkles and much slimmer than on TV walking north on 6th crossing over 14th with her teenage kid they were holding pinkies, too cute!

Strolling through my neighborhood yesterday (4/11), we decided to check out the crowd over at Magnolia Bakery. We spotted Katie Holmes waiting in line wearing a bright red top, big sunglasses and some capri-looking pants that made her ass flatter than an envelople. She looked happy to waiting around and was accompanied by some tall pretty boy and what looked to be a couple of Christopher St. locals. Taller than I expected and very girl-next-door hot.

Yesterday (4/10) I spotted Farnsworth Bentley walking in Soho. He was much slimmer than I expected and was sporting a purple Clarendon t-shirt.

i was at maria sharapova's (leggy russian tennis player who won wimbledon last year) 18th birthday party at hiro on saturday (4/9) night. lindsay lohan stopped by and looked cracked out as expected. the donnas chatted to some tall, generic looking guys for a while near me. ethan zohn (curly haired survivor winner) and his quasi-hot survivor winner girlfriend (jenna something?) were there also I laughed when they had a hard time getting into the vip section. Rosie perez and alan cumming were apparently there, though i didn't see them. maroon 5 played an incredibly lame set during which i was hit in the head with a guitar pick (he apologized) and made fun of the band right behind two of their girlfriends— which i discovered when i saw them in the green room after the show. ooops.

I saw David Byrne (ex-Talking Heads) at the Takashi Murakami lecture on Friday night at the Japan Society. He was nicely-dressed and low-key; a friend pointed him out to me, as he was looking at the 'Akira' video installation in the lobby.

Mario Batali at Otto early on Saturday 4/10, strolling around in a golf shirt and rolling his eyes at my delighted mum.

I had quite a stalker weekend Friday on the corner of W. 11th & Waverly, Spacehog & Liv Tyler man Royston Langdon, smoking a cig and walking their really cute dog...then, 10 minutes later, Mario Batali pulling up to the Spotted Pig on his green Vespa in his typical ponytail, shorts and orange clogs.

Sunday on Hudson and W. 10th St, Daniel Libeskind...he's really short.

At a glorious, midday Pastis brunch yesterday (4/10), a pal and I noticed a dour-faced Juliana Margulies dining with four gay men. She was subtle in a houndstooth hat and pony tail; no makeup, but pretty. She may be preparing for her upcoming role in the telefilm "Where Is the Mango Princess?"

Leaving Pincholine (64th btwn CPW and Columbus/B'way) last night around 11 p.m. Saying good byes on the sidewalk outside when a couple strolls slowly by- and I mean super slow— like "recognize me" slow. I look at the guy and it's Liev Schreiber of Day Trippers fame- which a tiny pencil moustache. Classy. The woman kept looking directly at us they passed slowly by and I stared directly back at her—nothing. Then as they ambled by the next couple down the street the woman let out a yelp— I said "I know that was Liev Schreiber" and she said "Who? That was Fran Drescher from the Nanny." WTF Drescher and Schreiber please explain.

Sunday theatre matinee: spotted Jason Bateman, and, I presume, his cute wife (daughter of Paul Anka, who knew?) a row behind us at Glengarry Glen Ross, which stars, among others, Jason s co-star Jeffrey Tambor. Jason has a nice laugh, and laughed particularly hard at a couple of pieces of Tambor s funny business.

Johnny Knoxville was brownbagging a beer in SoHo. He was with a buddy and stopped on a sunny stoop to enjoy his beverage.

At The Metropolitan in the Borgata in Atlantic City, sat next to Larry King. Looking VERY old, but talking to the couple dining with him, he had all the same mannerisms as if he were conducting an interview over the breakfast table.

Went for a walk next to Union Square on Sunday, looked to the left and saw that I was walking next to Dave Chappelle with his wife pushing a baby carriage.

friday night april 8 at cain lounge we saw fran drescher, howard stern and beth ostrosky, all the queer eye for the straight guys, and alan cumming.

April 9 — Leaving our hotel the W in Union Square we first saw a really huge guy, the kind of guy who just has to be a bodyguard, because what other work can you do once your NFL career doesn t pan out? I mean this guy was huge: maybe 6 9 , 400 pounds. Needless to say, we were curious to see whose body he was guarding and at first I couldn t tell there was a celebrity there, because he s so lowkey and normal looking, but it was Xzibit, of Pimp My Ride fame (and I guess he s made a few records but I don t think he s really had a hit lately). Because I love PMR, I went over and shook his hand, and he couldn t have been sweeter. When I told him my daughter loves his show and now yearns for a fancy car when she s old enough to drive (in like five years!), he smiled and said, bribe her, make her get good grades before she gets a nice ride. I told him that was good advice! He was medium sized and not dressed in any obviously pimped out way pale blue tracksuit and he didn t have that star vibe at all, but all in all just seemed like a nice, friendly person.

Dennis Hopper and a similar aged man was at the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday at the Basquiat show. He had on silver eyeglasses and a very plain brown (or blue) blazer. No one seemed to recognize him, not even the teeming throngs of elderly museum-goers taking advantage of the free tour.

Andre 3000 was walking down a street in SoHo, freestyling, with an entourage of four or five guys.

I may have been hallucinating Saturday night but i could have sworn I saw Marcia Cross (the red headed priss on Desperate Housewives) at the Wooster Group's performance of "Houselights" at St. Ann's Warehouse. Again I might be wrong but it sure as hell looked like her. Perhaps it was just a shock seeing her there.

Jesse Palmer (the bachelor) in SoHo with a well put together woman who seemed to be his girlfriend.

Lizzie Grubman & 2 PoweR Girls in the upstairs room at Marquee. I asked and Lizzie said they were there for fun, not work. Apparently, they go out together a lot. None of them seemed to be having a good time.

Saw Bill O'Reilly walking up Broadway at 50th around 7:30 on 4/7. Noticed him cause he was about a head taller than anyone else on the street. I successfully fought the urge to deliver a swift kick to his shins. He looked pretty haggard. He wasn't holding a loofah.

Saturday night, 4/9, around 9:45 pm, my roommate and friend visiting from South Carolina hopped on the 2/3 towards Manhattan at Clark Street in Brooklyn Heights. We sit down, and who is directly in front of us, but permanent C-list celeb/style guru, Robert Verdi, with the requisite sunglasseses-on-his-bald-head-at-night thing going on...Of course we were like, what the fuck is he doing on the subway in Brooklyn, but who knows.. He was cradling a bottle of Moet & Chandon and wearing a crushed velvet blazer. He looked pissed off, maybe because we were definitely the only people on the train who sorta-kinda recognized him. We got off before him, so not sure of his and the Moet's ultimate destination.

Sunday, 4/10: Malcolm Gladwell on Willow St. in Brooklyn Heights (w/ chummy, cuteish girl)- looks like you'd think he'd look, but a little less spooky, a little cooler/normal in real life; at first I was like "that kinda looks like Malcolm Gladwell"...but with that craaazy hair, who the hell else could it be?

Sunday afternoon, April 10, spotted stylist Philip Bloch walking west on 10th near 5th. A little too thin and tanned and picking food out of a foil wrapper.

Avenue A, Saturday afternoon Saw Chris Carmack (Luke from the O.C.) and stoner Dell Guy walking together with a couple other male friends (maybe other D-list celebrities?). Both dressed like bums. Luke, sporting long blond locks, is smokin hot.

I went to see The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill at the Quad Theater on Friday night, and sat two rows behind Katie Holmes! Surprised to see she of Dawson's Creek fame at such an obscure documentary film. More surprised to see her with a very tall, thin, good-looking guy I didn't recognize. They were very cute throughout the whole movie, stroking eachother, giggling, whispering. He squeezed her leg at an especially moving part. On the way out I got a good look prettier than on film but shorter than I suspected (she was with the tall guy, though.) When she returned from the bathroom, he was waiting for her and she grabbed his butt!

Denis Leary and the cast of "Rescue Me" were filming on my block in Hell's Kitchen on Friday night (4/8). Denis was wearing a leather jacket, and surprisingly, not smoking.

Saw Chris Sarandon from "The Princess Bride" at yesterday's (4/10) matinee of the amazing "Spamalot." He was standing in the aisle during intermission, talking to a woman and totally trying to be noticed. And of course I did notice him. My father and brother had no clue who he was, but both said that he was gesturing and making facial expressions like an actor, whatever that means.

this totally doesn't count, but this morning on the 1/9 i saw demetrise washington, who was in the ny mag look book about a month ago (no, I didn't remember her name— i had to look it up on the web site). Looking @ the look book is my favorite regular gawker feature, by the way. I looked across the aisle and thought, that lady looks a lot like my evil stepmother (which is exactly what i thought when i saw her in the look book, and, no, it's not a compliment). then i saw the disturbing dead animal pelt around the collar of her coat, and it hit me: this is that scary fur hatted "i look french" gal. well, sorry, but i just don't think french ladies wear dirty white baseball caps and tweed heels with plastic jewels on the toes. she also looks worse in person— is she 30 and looks 50? is she 50 and looks 50? who knows? i guess i have this irrational hatred of her. maybe it's the resemblance to the wretched bitch who is so rotten to my dad? [Ed: While normally this wouldn t count, it s just so meta-random that we re running it.]

My friend Danh and I saw Moby the other night, Saturday I think, outside his tea place, Teany. It was very late, around 2:30 am I think and Teany was closed. He was standing with this little girl who looked maybe 6 years old. My friend Danh and I were talking sort of non-stop and kind of loud about Melinda and Melinda, but when we passed by Moby, when we were right adjacent to him, we stopped talking all of sudden. We didn't plan it, it just happened. And we heard Moby say to the little girl, and he whispered this, leaned over and looking level at the little girl's face (and somehow it was really quiet everywhere and we heard him whisper really clearly): "Don't ever say that Teany is Shitty. Don't ever say that." My friend Danh and I both heard it the same. [Ed UPDATE: Unbelievably, this tip was false. Lesson: don't ever trust the Internet, kiddos!]

Harvey Weinstein, Minnie Driver, Jay-Z, Drew Barrymore and Fabrizio Moretti, Olsens, Matt LeBlanc, Ralph Nader, Jimmy Fallon, various members of Green Day, Jimmy Fallon, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Pierce Brosnan, Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, Wallace Shawn, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Vincent Pastore, Ian Somerhalder, Mike Myers, Ice-T and Coco, Fabian Basabe, David Wain, Tim Robbins, virtually everyone ever from Full House, Matthew Broderick, Uma Thurman and Andre Balazs, Sean Lennon and Lizzie Jagger, Derek Blasberg, Heather Matarazzo, Michael Showalter, Carson Kressley, a bunch o' BoSox, Liza Minnelli, Dennis Hopper, Jason Giambi, Willem Dafoe, Albert Hammond Jr., Christian Slater, David Bowie and Iman, John Cameron Mitchell, Katie Holmes, Betsey Johnson, Kimora Lee Simmons, Pele, Hank Azaria, Jonathan Cheban, Jay Wilkinson, Austin Pendleton, and Anita Lo.

Last night, I was at the SNL after party at new club Rockcandy, and I saw Kid Rock with a washed up, trashy old porn star looking girl, Cameron Diaz with her son Justin Timberlake, Jimmy Fallon...so adorable although his striped sweater is rather tired, Horatio Sanz in a rather drunken state, but not as bad as Jimmy & last but not least I saw Tre Cool (drummer from Green Day), complete with body guard in tow, at the bar flirting tirelessly with Xiomara from America's Next Top Model. I am a closet Top Model fan, but my GOD she is so gorgeous, I had to do a doubletake & so tall, she towered over him. THE END!

Sunday afternoon saw Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake leaving Whole Foods in Columbus Circle - both in heavy sunglasses but not that in cognito all things considered. I'm just psyched that I saw 3 of the SNL guests (including Tre Cool) in and around their Saturday performance. :)

On Saturday night, Giselle was at Suede, dancing up a storm in with some friends in the back corner of the VIP section. She seemed to be having a good time, and wasn't being harassed at all by the Far-Less-Important-People. She left at about 2, and brushed passed me on her way out. I may never wash again.

Saw our fave redhead of the momemnt Lindsay Lohan courtside at the Knicks game last night (4/8) not sure who she was with (some nondescript blond in a red beret) and the ever present Spike Lee was sitting a few seats away.

saw leonardo dicaprio and giselle bunchen locking up their bikes outside polka dot cake studio on bleecker street and 7th ave. they headed down bleecker and it didn't seem like anyone recognized them in their baseball hats and sweatpants.

What a great day! I saw Harvey Weinstein at Cipriani's Downtown hopping from table to table. Then a little while later I saw Ashley Olsen outside Mercer Hotel. She had her hood up and walked right into her car...and I think her boyfriend followed after. Then I saw Minnie Driver a little lost on Mercer and Spring. It's springtime and the celebs have hit the streets.

Saw jay-z walking out of Ono last night about 9:30 he is awesome.

I was at V Steakhouse last night at the Time Warner Center, and ended up sitting next to Drew Barrymore and her Stroke boyfriend [Fabrizio Moretti] all cuddly and cute. The seats there are close, so I could hear them giggling and talking throughout dinner. She sort of hit me with her bag on accident and was all apologetic and sweet about it. And she's beautiful.

My favorite celebrity midget- Ashley Olsen at Butter late Tuesday night, or erly Wednesday morning. Also spotted: Rich Girl & D-list celebrity Jamie Gleicher.

Saw a bloated Matt LeBlanc Tuesday (4/5) on W. 13th street in the Meatpacking District filming an episode of "Joey" I'm guessing. He was wearing a red baseball cap, sunglasses of the unfabulous-variety, jeans, and a jacket. He seeemed to be hiding in the midst of all the production staffers until an orange-skinned Paris-wannabe walked by with a tiny dog in a padded carrying case... Matt then began to try and chat (flirt) briefly as she walked away.

Sunday afternoon I sat across the aisle from Ralph Nader on a much-delayed United Express flight between Dulles and JFK. Did you know he smokes Pall Malls? He finished the Washington Post and was obviously itching to converse, probably about the Jim Harrison memoir in his lap.

Friday late night brought a trip to Coffee Shop in Union Square where I saw Tre Cool from Green Day leaving with a lovely lady. He was gussied up for the end of the night, but I could only guess that he was readying himself for his next night's performance on SNL?

Enjoying a beautiful day on my lunch break, I saw MTV's succeeding "Newlyweds", Travis Barker and very bottle blonde wife ( I don't know her name...yet). They were outside Mercer Kitchen. Travis was wearing one of those loose fitting tank tops where the arm hole goes down to his waist, exposing his great body art. I guess only a rock star can eat at Mercer Kitchen dressed that way.

Just got back from a greasy burger lunch at McHales on 46th and 8th and saw Philip Seymor Hoffman at the table behind us. He was being interviewed by or discussing some project with an older tall guy with long hair and a young, eager reportertype brunnette who was taking notes. PSH was not paying much attention to the discussion as the Yankee game was on. He has bottled water in his pocket and was unshaven and looked like he had a rough night last night.

Yesterday evening (4/5) I spotted Pierce Brosnan browsing for dvds in the downstairs of Tower Records at Lincoln Center then when I walked out of Tower, I spotted Liam Neeson walking down the street dressed in a black suit, with dark sunglasses. He s very tall and very lanky in person

Kate Hudson and her husband [Chris Robinson] paid a visit to my local wine shop on Jones Street in the West Village. They were hanging out with the owner of the shop drinking wine. Like the loser investment banking whore that I am, all I was able to muster was a smile that was more smirk than smile. She smiled back and said "hey, how are you?" To which I said "good, and you?". Smooth huh? She is very very cute. Not much makeup on...the type that wakes up pretty.

My friend and I always complain that we NEVER have any celeb sightings on our frequent trips into the city. Today (4/6) we had four of them. While walking around the Village, we got completely lost around Christopher Street. We started walking in one direction, completely talking about random things when I spotted Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor hand-in-hand, window shopping. After being completely shocked at an actual celebrity sighting, we turned and followed them (at a safe distance) for about 15 minutes as they weaved their way through the Village. Ben is much shorter in person - they're both so petite. About an hour later, we were still somewhere around the Village and Soho area when we turned down this random street. No one walking down the street, except this couple walking towards us about 25 feet away, who turned out to be Kate Hudson and hubby Chris Robinson. They're both much taller than I had imagined and super thin. They walked past us and Kate shot us a friendly smile. Of course, after we picked up our jaws from the ground, we turned around to stalk them for a bit, but they were much faster than Ben and Christine. Definitely the highlight of my week.

A few weeks ago I saw Wallace Shawn outside the Rubin Museum of Art, on 17th. He was wearing what looked like an old LL Bean jacket and he was walking toward 7th. He smiled at me in that "yes, I'm famous" kind of way.

Walking home from the Todd Solondz repulsion-fest at MoMA, we passed (a lankier, more attractive than one would imagine) Maggie Gylenhaal with her arm draped around some other woman and accompanied by two men, one wearing full cowboy regalia. They were standing outside of the Park Avenue Country Club, leading me to wonder if she is researching for an upcoming role in a movie about ex-frat brothers who are only living in the city long enough to find blondes dumb enough to marry them and move to Greenwich.

Wednesday around 5 pm, Vincent Pastore walking quickly south down Sixth past Radio City Music Hall, phone to ear, water bottle in hand. No beating victims or civil authorities in sight.

Wednesday night in the LES. At Orchard Bar, the guy from Lost, Ian Somerhalder, that came in with some scenester friends. A brunette stuck to his side all night, ordering gin and tonics and shooting dirty looks to anyone who had the gall to look at her man. He is just as cute as on TV, but shorter than I thought. That same night, two blocks down, I passed Mike Myers surrounded by lackeys holding white sheets as he filmed something. He was very gracious and seemed apologetic about holding up foot traffic, but most of the hipsters pretended not to know who he was.

If anyone cares, I got a pedicure across from Ice-T and his skanked out wife, Coco, at Dashing Diva (8th Street b/w University Place and Broadway.) He looked very old and grayish, and "Coco" looked out of place in her excuse for a shirt. The lady doing my nails didn't know his name, but said they come in every three weeks together for pedicures.

I went to the dress to kilt event with my friend last night Fabian Basabe was there and he was very close with another man. I have heard numerous rumors that [so, so redacted] with his publicist R. Couri Hay.

David Wain bicycling alone down Rivington St. near Freeman's Alley last night. He got away before I had time to yell "Stella!!"

I saw Tim Robbins hailing a cab on 15th street and 7th avenue at 11am He looks old but he's still a hottie!

Saw Uncle Jesse himself, John Stamos, on CPW & 64th near the ABC buildings. Looked suave and sleek coming toward us in a black suit with black shades and jet-black hair Skin wasn't that great, though. Maybe he was coming from persuading ABC brass to keep him on the air.

Matthew Broderick on 56th Street. A.) Adorably chubby. B.) Dazed. C.) Blond. D.) Mysteriously soaking wet. E.) All of the above.

Saw Uma Thurman with her beau, Andre Balazs, at Otto, on 5th Ave and 8th St, last night 4/6. She was wearing a black and white tweed coat with a black skirt and heels, looking very thin and chic. She and Andre were whisked away into the back before we knew it.

was at hiro on wednesday night, and thought i would be happy to report that it's officlal: sean lennon and lizzie jagger are dating. that's what it looked like when they were all snuggly buggly in a booth, that is, until some dude came up and broke that shit up. my
friend informed me that it was someone who is used to doing that kind of stuff, cause it was professional homewrecker derek blasberg. who totally ignored lizzie and went for a bespectacled bearded lennon. They danced scandalously together (i always thought sean lennon was a gay), but to my gossiping disapointment, lennon ended up back with the liz. i want to say they looked cute together (sean and liz that is) but it's difficult relenting that fact knowing they both never have to do anything in their life and will be forever the happy dancing couple that can giggle and not worry about getting up early the next day. so jealous. And lizzie is lanky anyway. vito schnabel was there too, who i also may suspect may be a gay. this begs me to ask: are all pansy rich boys gay? or just like to act like it?

On Thursday (4/7) I saw Heather Matarazzo of Welcome to the Dollhouse fame and her lesbian lover at Better Burger in Chelsea. Heather was wearing a black top, blue jeans and clunky black shoes. I love her as an actress, and really had to hold back from attacking her verbally with movie quotes such as "I'm gonna rape you" and "lesbo! lesbo!" She had on no make up but had naturally flawless skin. Her girlfriend on the other hand... let's not even talk about what she was wearing. Over-sized t-shirt and long hair in a pony tail? Scary college-girl jock. Whatever, at least they looked happy together, playing footsies under the table.

I am doomed to continue to run into Michael I m out of he-eeere Showalter, but never speak to him. My latest sighting (this is my fourth) was at The Slipper Room last night. I was seeing the Legitimate Theater Company s hilarious production of 12th Night, and all of the sudden during the first act, Michael Showalter runs on stage! I was shocked and thrilled at the idea that he was in the show, but he wasn t he just needed to grab his coat
backstage.

for the 4 people that still watch queer eye, i spotted carson kressley - sporting his trademark burned, blond mullet - at the 22nd street entrance to the n-r-w train. he seemed a little confused by the turnstile that kept refusing his metro card. don't worry, carson, that turnstile is pretty tricky. next time use the one on the right!

Standing on 8th Avenue last night, enjoying the beautiful weather and the company of my lovely boyfriend when who walks out of Food Bar but Carson from Queer Eye. His blonde locks were looking perfect, and he looked quite tiny and plain in jeans, a t-shirt, and a fitted leather jacket. And no, not a hint of "flair" in sight.

At Tao on Tuesday night (4/5), we saw several Boston Red Sox — including Jason Veritek, Kevin Millar, and Tim Wakefield enjoying beers beneath the Buddha. A significantly scrawner, but very dapper Andy Litinsky (the master debater from Season 2 of The Apprentice) was having dinner with a large party a table away.

Otto Pizzeria off of Washington Square, Uma Thurman and hotelier-boyfriend Andre Balazs sauntered in at around 10 p.m., each possibly craving some munchies. Wrapped in sheer fabric, she was extremely tall and absolutely stunning. The two ordered a bottle of wine and a little food and made out at a back table periodically throughout the evening. They stayed only a little more than an hour.

Saw Liza Minnelli yesterday around 7PM in front of Union Square Park, getting ready to cross Park Avenue in front of the Union Square Theater (where De La Guarda used to play). She was standing with two men and a woman; they were so into their conversation I didn't dare attempt to break her away with an "OMG, YOU'RE LIZA!" shriek. She looked very very nice - the jet black Liza cut and the eyes visible from two miles away (which is about where I noticed her from!), black suit that was a little baggy on her but still chic. Do you think the guys at my gym in Chelsea will slap me for not acknowledging her?

Yesterday at 4.45 at Pastis, Dennis Hopper - dressed conservatively in blue blazer and cap - and a white-beareded friend were having a late lunch at Pastis - while Dennis snapped photos of locals and the neighborhood from his outdoor seat. When he finally left the restaurant, at least seven paparazzi jumped out from various hiding spots: a mercedes, a table, a large delivery truck - and began snapping away. I have no idea what Dennis was out to shoot - but the site of paparazzi taking pictures of Dennis taking pictures ... made patrons pull out THEIR cameras to take pictures of paparazzi taking
pictures of a celb taking pictures. It was all very bizarre.

Was at Spice Market last night (4/7) walking out when I passed a very large and muscular man talking on his cell phone by the front door. My celebrity radar was off as my boyfriend turned to me and said: "Um hello, Jason Giambi standing there next to you..." Of course had to walk back in a say hello to him, which got his reply of "Hi Honey!" to me. He's the definition of Beefcake in person.

let's just say willem dafoe isn't all that pretty on screen and definitely scared the hell out of me on tuesday night when i ran into him at jane and w 4th in the village. i was on my phone and he was walking towards me with big boufante hair, scowl on his face and desperately in need of moisturizer. isnt he dating some teenager these days?

yesterday 4/7 was walking on 2nd ave and 9th street and saw albert hammond jr of the strokes and his fiance catherine pierce (who is newly brunette and looks even more stunning) standing on the street talking to a tiny brunette girl who looked as though she could've been catherine's sister. albert was seemingly unaware of the humidity and was decked out in full strokes regalia, including button up shirt and blazer. i keep seeing him on the street and am amazed at how much hotter he is in person! now get to work on that 3rd album, dude.

I was standing outside of the W Hotel in times square last night trying to hail a cab when I saw Christian Slater just standing there trying to make a phone call. He wasnt as short as one would expect.

I was fortunate enough last evening to have seen David Bowie and Iman crossing Houston on Lafayette. He wasn't wearing anything crazy...but had a great head of hair. He looked like a rock star because he is a rock star. Iman looked young and attractive...5 minutes later I saw that fat guy with the big side burns, trucker hat and glasses that was in that music video coming out of the Crunch at Astor Place. He, on the other hand, is not a rock star. Rock stars don't wear sweat pants and have mutton chops.

Saw John Cameron Mitchell in a production meeting during last weekend's deluge of rain. Was at the head of the table with about 4 others outside the coffee shop next to Spoonbill Sugartown Bookstore on Bedford.

I saw Katie Holmes Friday at about 7:10 walking up sixth between Washington Place and Waverly. Walking between two friends laughing acting like she had not a care in the world. Very pretty, and I did the standard double take (that girl's pretty...reall pretty...she looks like...wait that's Katie Holmes).

Saw Betsey Johnson, the designer, getting out of a cab on 7th Ave and 37th St Thursday around 9:20am (I was running late to work). I rarely notice people on the street, but the sight of a leg encased in the ugliest tights paired with the funkiest wedge shoes, warranted to a second glance. The next thing I noticed was crazy red hair a face full of makeup. After she stepped from the cab, she began to wildly wave her arms in the air greeting someone I hope she knew in the Cosi there. I believe that I know what happened to Baby Jane....

Just got back from seeing the play Privilege, starring Bob Saget. As my friend and I walked up to our seats, I noticed that right across the aisle was an Olsen twin. She was dressed in typical Olsen attire, and had a boy (seemed to be a boyfriend) with her. Everyone around us was frantically texting and calling people. As we were watching her, she got up to hug a good looking guy who came in. It took me a while to realize it was John Stamos, with what seemed to be a bodyguard in tow. A few seconds later they were joined by Dave Coulier (with beautiful blonde woman), and then it was only a matter of time before Olsen twin #2 showed up (also with a boy). They had four seats in front of four other seats, and they quickly shuffled themselves around so that the Full Housers would be in the middle with the dates/bodyguard on the outside. Throughout the show (which was only moderately funny, despite being written by Paul Weitz), John Stamos was laughing hysterically at every line and rocking back and forth in his seat. I imagine there were people in the theater who didn't know who he was, who just thought, "Who's that annoying guy laughing really loudly at everything?" One of the Olsen twins also giggled a lot. And after one non-funny fart-related joke, Dave Coulier poked John Stamos in the shoulder. When the curtain came down exactly eight people in the audience (guess who) gave the show a standing ovation. On the way out of the theater, no one was talking about the actual play. I did, however, overhear one middle-aged mother telling her daughter that the Olsens looked "slutty."

Just saw Kimora Lee Simmons at the A&P in Woodcliff Lake, NJ (town next door to her Saddle River mansion). Dressed down in grey gymwear in the floral dept. Super tall and pretty w/o makeup.

Friday night (4/8) I saw Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz at Blue Ribbon Sushi on Sullivan St. They were waiting for a table with a group of his friends that looked like N' Sync leftovers (or was he a Backstreet Boy?). Either way, they weren't seated quickly as the restaurant was packed, so they left after 10 minutes or so. Both are shorter than you would think and beautiful.

On Wednesday night I saw Pele (soccer legend, and perhaps the most important athlete of he 20th Century - he once stopped a war) at the Mandarin Oriental in the Time Warner Center. He was hanging out with some friends and looked like he was enjoying being in one of the few countries in the world where he doesn't get mobbed in public (in fact when asked to confirm the siting, our waitress responded, "Who?").

Billie Joe from Greenday was at MercBar in SoHo on Friday night with one of the guys from Bon Jovi. He was decked out in eyeliner and stood outside for like 20 minutes, taking pictures with people. He's very short!

Friday afternoon I saw Hank Azaria walking around Columbus Circle he looked like he was coming back from working out and was hoping no one recognized him.

via blackberry: Jonathan Cheban in front of me right now @ showing of duchovny's house of d movie. He is in the 3rd row - general seating - suprised he couldn't get better resevered seating! Oops...there he goes he pulled some strings and got a better seat w/ his 2 friends.

I spotted the gorgeous Jay Wilkison (Riley from One Life to Live) today. It was a beautiful day and he was walking down the street hand-in-hand with his girlfriend before they stopped into a cute little bakery on 89th and Broadway. I recognized him immediately and tried not to stare as I walked past. He was looking very good in a tight, long-sleeve white shirt and jeans.

On the downtown 1 train I was sitting across from Austin Pendleton (yeah, it took me a while to remember who he is too). He was giving some other passengers directions, and then they and everyone else in the car started saying, "You were in Finding Nemo!" I'm sure the money's good, but that must really suck. Some people next to me were trying to remember his name and so they asked him to sign their copy of the Voice (turns out it's good for something after all). His signature was sufficiently illegible as to leave them clueless. We both got off at Christopher Street, where he vanished and I ran smack into the filming of something that was attracting a lot of starstruck teenagers with cellphone cameras and pimply older men with their hands in their pockets. I think it may involve Lindsey Lohan.

not that it's the most exciting thing, but i saw celebrity chef (i hate that phrase) Anita Lo this afternoon. Not much of a surprise, because it was at her new counter-service dumpling place, Rickshaw, on 23rd and 6th (so good, try the pan-fried thai chicken dumplings). She totally kicked Mario Batali's ass on Iron Chef America last night. I wanted to congratulate her, but she looked scowly.

In this edition: Lindsay Lohan and mother Dina, Cameron Diaz, Beyonce (to see Kristen Chenoweth?), Sean Penn, Denzel Washington, Giuliani and Schumer, Pam Anderson, Dave Chappelle, Spike Lee, Ivanka Trump, Olsens, Simon Le Bon, Damon Dash, Nas, Kal Penn, Dr. Ruth, Anne Hathaway, Cynthia Nixon, Katie Holmes, Royston Langston, David Hasselhoff, Grant Hill, Kevin Kline, Willem Dafoe, Bjork and Matthew Barney, Tony Kushner, David Cross, James Lipton, Steve Buscemi, Marc Jacobs, Pedro Almodovar, Alex Rodriguez, Donald Sutherland, Jacquetta Wheeler, Flavor Flav, Kevin Bacon, Anne from Top Model, Frederick Weller, Janeane Garofalo, and John Stamos.

Saw Lindsay Lohan at next door nobu last friday looking beautiful but skanky in black tights, brown suede knee-high boots, a jordache t-shirt and fake eyelashes resembling feathers. she looked like a cross between madonna circa 1980 and bohomeless MK. She was drinking martinis and took frequent bathroom and smoking breaks.

Saw Mommy [Dina] Lohan & friend stumble down the front stairs of the Penn hotel in midtown. And when I say stumble, I mean they nearly hit the car parked out front... as if dressing like white trash wasn't enough? Right behind them came Starlet Hohan looking as drunk as her mom, but suprisingly better dressed.

i saw lindsay lohan last night (4/4) filming a scene in grand central. they had the entire center section blocked off and there were a bunch of army/national guard types advising us commuters to "keep on moving"— i guess lohan has already run through all the PAs in ny. girl has RED hair much darker than i expected. but other than the really pretty hair, i wasn't all that impressed.

Opening today at Yankee Stadium, 4/3, saw Cameron Diaz. Not really that tall in person but still totally hot. She was wearing an orange hoodie, brown shawl, jeans, and Ugg boots (can't believe those are still in ?!?) Weird sight to see her at a baseball game but I gawked nonetheless.

Last night (4/5) at the Lincoln Center Tower Records, I met the sweet, friendly Kristin Chenoweth, with enough glitter on her face to deflect solar power, where she was signing copies of her new CD. Then I wandered downstairs to the DVD section. Several Tower employees were unabashedly gawking at some gal. "Yes it's her. It IS her! Look at her shoes!" I had to find out who she was. I slowly approached with uber-nanchalance to find myself face to face with one Beyonce Knowles. I said, "Hi Beyonce. How are you?" She responded kindly with a big smile when an extra large bodyguard leaned in with that "have-gun-will-use" look. So I drifted back into the woodwork. It was a thrill. But I have to give you: she s not so bootylicious. The ass is tiny! Her thighs even looked small. Why is it that tv adds more than 10 to this hottie? Oh, and the shoes — crystal-encrusted stilettos that would have made even Sex & the City s Carrie Bradshaw drool.

I was hanging around outside Starbucks on 7th and Christopher and found my eyes drawn to a white limo with the door open, with a couple of people hanging around outside it. My eye caught some pissed off looking guy squinting in the sun, wearing purple hued shades and a rumpled looking suit. Only after a few minutes did I realize I was ten feet away from Sean Penn - unfortunately, my crush was crushed. Not only did he look messy and pissed, but his chin was extra pointy in person, and he looked a little bloated.

Saturday night I was walking down W. 44th Street at around 10:30pm and I saw Denzel Washington standing outside the Belasco Theater signing autographs for a few fans. Sunday morning I was in St. Patrick's at noon and saw Rudy Giuliani (with Judy) and Sen. Chuck Schumer sneaking out the side door in the middle of the mass. No one else seemed to notice them.

I saw Pam Anderson, Dave Chappelle and Spike Lee at the Knicks game Fri night (yeah..so did eveyone else watching the game but I was still stoked). Dave got up and signed a few autographs at halftime...weirdly enough all the fan clamouring for his sig were young teenage boys. I also saw Ben Stiller in the lobby of the the Public theatre Sunday night (I was there to see The Last Days of Judas Isacriot which was fantastic). Guess he had just finished performing that night in the new Neil LaBute show there. Short but kinda cute in that my-nose-alone-is-bigger-than-your-head way. He and a brunette (don't think it was his wife) went across the street into Indochine.

Yesterday, I was riding the #5 train uptown after work. I noticed a girl reading a book who I thought was as beautiful as anyone I've ever seen in my life. She was in a bad black and white striped sweater and stilettos that had definitely seen better days. But her skin was perfection, her hair was a perfectly streaked blond and her figure was amazing. She looked up and I realized it was Ivanka Trump. What she's doing on the subway, I don't know. But she is absolutely gorgeous (and I'm a gay man).

Just saw MK Olsen at the corner of Broadway and Spring in Soho. She was with an older guy, and at first I thought it was a father/daughter pair, until she turned her enormous bobble-head in my direction. Usual MK attire: huge t-shit with flowy tank over it, regular pants, converse-type sneakers. They checked out the menu at Caf Bari and then headed up north Broadway. Why is this the most exciting celeb siting I have had? She is truly bizarre.

last night (4/5), 9 pm, at the cold stone creamery on astor place: I had just finished kvetching to my friend that my frequent trips to the nyu area were never rewarded with the celeb sighting i covet the most: an olsen. a group entered the shop as we left, and my friend did a double-take. "there's your olsen," she muttered. "ask and ye shall receive," i thought as i scurried back to the window to take a look. delightfully nondescript in big black hoodie, baggy jeans, and handbag was ashley olsen. she was just with a couple friends, no bodyguards, shiny suv's, or wispy boho chic clothes in sight. my reaction: a couple fist pumps, and a long "yesssssssssssssssssss."

saw Simon Le Bon enter restaraunt i was in (Fidelias) around 230am. He was wearing a white sleeveless t shirt with indiscernable artwork and not baggy jeans, looked not that old or puffy as pictures , trimmer, actually.. accompanied by 2 blonde women mid30ish and a beefy 30ish dude with almost shaved head wearing one of those skintight black muscular dude shirts. Hostess began seating them near front entrance and he looked concerned , and asked to be seated towards the back where he sat in a booth facing away from the entrance..

today i saw damon dash somewhere in soho (w bway maybe?) being really loud and laughing hysterically at something before climbing into one of 2 black bmws and peeling out with his entourage. he looks the same as he does on tv, only inevitably shorter. needless to say, i was less than enthralled.

on saturday afternoon i saw rapper nas pushing a shopping cart around whole foods on 24th st. so weird. he was wearing a yankee hat, a black jacket, gray sweats, and silver sneakers that were crazy hot, but i couldnt figure out what the fuck kind they were.

on the afternoon of sunday the 3rd, i saw kal penn (from the new superman sequel, the lead role in the movie adaptation of jhumpa lahiri's bestselling book "the namesake" and the role of kumar in "harold and kumar go to white castle") at whole foods in Columbus circle. he was wearing a knit wool cap, a black fleece patagonia jacket and a vest over the fleece. was it really that cold? he noticed me squinting at him, so i asked him, "what's your name?" he replied, "kal." i then asked him, "were you in a movie?" he said, "yes." then, i asked him if the movie had been "harold and kumar go to white castle." he replied in the affirmative and asked me if i had seen it. i replied honestly that i had not. He seemed to be annoyed and bewildered at the same time by my answer. i guess his annoyance was compunded by the fact that i am asian and the movie i asked about was supposed to be the movie that proved asians could produce a mainstream hit. well, it bombed at the box office. at least he has now gotten those two nice roles that i just mentioned at the beginning of this paragraph.

My mom was in town from California and Sunday we ran into the friendly, wonderful, and absolutely adorable Dr. Ruth at the "Power of Conversation/Jewish Women and their Salons" exhibit at the Jewish Museum. From Proust and Wilde to Alice B. Toklas, a must see!

Spotted Anne Hathaway, looking young and lovely, at downtown cipriani Friday night. My male friend actually followed her into the bathroom area to see if he could glimpse her close up. Pathetic.

I took the red-eye in from seattle this morning. The first person I saw as I exited the gate was Our Favorite Lesbian, Cynthia Nixon. She was lugging her bags back up the stairs from the baggage claim and had horrible chunky highlights and pointy beige shoes. Poor thing.

Walking across Christopher Street this morning was DAWSON'S CREEK star (sorry, that's how you will always be identified; you dug your grave, now lie in it) Katie Holmes. Very cute in person, even in drab athletic wear, very tall and thin. But does she ever smile except on the cover of secretary-friendly magazines? Maybe it was just a tough workout.

Saw Royston Langdon aka Mr. Liv Tyler sans Liv and baby walking an adorable King Charles Spaniel on Jane Street in the West Village. Royston looked much shorten than in person, but the dog was just as cute as it had looked in the many paparazzi pics I've seen of it.

At Marquee on Saturday night, Grant Hill and David Haselhoff were two tables away from each other. Hasselhoff looked pretty good for an old guy in a tight black t-shirt and glasses. Grant Hill is definitely a hottie.

I saw Kevin Kline walking near my office on Madison and 47th at the end of last week. He's taller than I thought he would be and very gray...he appeared to be walking with his teenage son. Too bad Phoebe Cates wasn't with him...is she still alive? I haven't seen her since that bad movie "Drop Dead Fred."

Sunday afternoon, around 5 p.m., walking south down Seventh Avenue on the corner of 11th or 10th Street, Willem Dafoe, with two women, one very youngish, all in basic black, trying to hail a southbound cab with no success. It s heartening somehow to see that even the Son of God can t get a cab at 5 p.m. O Taxi & Limousine Commission, why hast thou forsaken me?

Sat. saw Bjork and a bearded Matthew Barney at Union Square Virgin. They seemed to wrapped together in some sort of grey denim tarp. Also, Sun. following Matthew Bourne's "play without words" at BAM saw a Tony Kushner and David Cross. They were not together but David Cross wore odd black and yellow shoes.

Saw James Lipton of The Actor's Studio fame getting out of a cab at the corner of 23rd and Park Avenue South last Wednesday night (3/30/05). Two friends and I had just gotten into another cab, and one of my friends, who is from out of town, starting pointing and shouting "Oh my God! It's that guy from the show with the actors!" It took me a minute to figure out who she was pointing at, as Mr. Lipton is much shorter in real life than I expected. (Of course, given that he is always sitting on TV, I don't know why I pictured him as a tall man; I guess he just has a long torso.) Anyway, as our cab drove by him, I got a good look. Suddenly, he was staring back at me with a sort of "I'll get you my pretty!" mind-meld stare. Very creepy.

Saw Steve Buscemi at Ozzie's on Fifth Avenue in Park Slope. He was sitting, wearing a baseball cap with his longish hair poking out the back, at a small table in the front window with two women. His plate of food sat yet untouched. He seemed mostly unnoticed amid the strollers and laptops.

This afternoon at Marc Jacobs in SoHo, I was walking back from the men's rack to meet a friend trying on shirts in the dressing room. Accompanied by two tall, slim, beautifully scruffy assistants (maybe actors I just know it was not Gael Garcia Bernal sadly) was an instantly familiar bushy-haired Pedro Almodovar. So take that Parker and Ethan and Mary Kate and Ashley and you reality show people that is so much cooler.

Just saw Marc Jacobs (or someone who really looked like him) at a MOMA film screening of TJ Wilcox's gay-tinged experimental films. First, I was in MOMA's bar room and my companion just sort makes a look that tells me to turn around to look at some hipsters you know over the top hipsters, like Williamsburg hipsters. Lo and behold, it's Marc, and no one mobbing him (he was five feet behind me.) I still wasn't sure it was him, but but after the screening saw this person again, and walked right by him and his clunky-Nike looking hightops and very distintive square ice-cube ish glasses. I was like, this has to be him. Again, no one's mobbing him. I guess he blends right in with the arty hipsters who all seemed to look like younger clone versions of him.

I was out to lunch today 4/4 and Im standing in line at Ray Bari pizza on 56th and 3rd ave, ordering my pizza. I turn around and bump into someone, I look up and see this tall hansdsome man and who is it?? Alex Rodriguez from the Yankees!! Fresh off of winning 9-2 to the Red Sox =0) last night. He apologized for bumping into me. His wife was standing there looking at me and my friend like "you better not be looking at my husband"!!! She is really tiny and average looking. He is so handsome in person and has
beautiful eyes and the most beautiful complexion.

Donald Sutherland, corner of broadway and 56th. tuesday - lunchtime. sporting celeb/nyer wear of black pants and black coat with faux? Fur collar. shockingly white chin length hair. waiting to cross the street with a shorter non-descript brunette.

two upper east side sightings: yesterday afternoon i saw jacquetta wheeler on park ave @ 60th walking intently, looking much taller, thinner & skankier than the usual super model. today i just passed spike lee on lexington @ 63rd, in the omni-present horn rim glasses & baseball hat, funny that he left brooklyn for the UES...

Just saw Flavor Flav in the Times Square Red Lobster. Was there for a let's-bond-in-this-kitschy-ironic-hole work lunch and our intern pointed him out as "that guy from the Surreal Life". When we started reminsicing about how much we used to love Public Enemy she said "He used to be a singer?" Judging from the service at RL he's probably still there.

Monday 4-4-05 at about 2:50 p.m. Saw Kevin Bacon walking on 72nd Street between Amsterdam and Columbus carrying a grocery bag in each hand. Even with his sunglasses, he was instantly recognizable... definitely older than his Footloose days, but just as wirey.

Wednesday 3-30 in front of Pearl River Mart I saw Anne from last season's America's Next Top Model. Wouldn't have given her a second look if her face didn't look blankly familiar.

4/5, Frederick Weller (Shape of Things- play & movie; Take Me Out, in which he was naked as the day is long; a lot of Law & Order's) getting on his bike (no helmet, just baseball cap...backwards), and sped off down Wash. Sq. North- tall and ho, in a Dartmouth/but artsy kinda way- why is he not more famous? (actually, that only makes him sexier).

Saw Janeane Garofalo at Virgin in Union Square, carrying two bags from Whole Foods and buying a handful of CDs. The most notable thing about the experience was that I was able to avoid screaming quotes from Reality Bites, which was my favorite movie in ninth grade and now resembles my life a bit too closely.

I saw John Stamos last night at a performance of "Privilege" at Second Stage Theatre. Bob Saget is in the play (and is actually really good!) so maybe he was there supporting him... Stamos was really attractive, and with a very big man who looked like his body guard. I kept looking for Olsen twins, wondering if it was a Full House reunion, but didn't see any!

i just saw pamela anderson at macys. she's doing a promotional thing there. but what no one else saw was that she kept scratching her butt.

Last Saturday I was sitting in the Satanbucks on Columbus and 67th, when who should walk by, but Robin Williams. He was all bundled up with a hat and walking by himself. Several of the coffee drinkers waved at him and he waved back; he seemed friendly.

I can die happy now! I just walked past Julia Roberts walking down 22nd Street. She had on black velvet juicy couture-esque style pants, running sneakers and big, very Hollywood type glasses. Her hair was dyed a nice auburn and up in a high pony tail.

Saw Star Jones in Saks shopping with a personal shopper on Wednesday, March 30th. She gave me a dirty look when I spotted her. I must admit, however, that she looked quite thin.She is very thin, and not as tall as I d imagined.

Saw Jason Binn talking to Bill Hemmer (that hot guy from CNN ) at Crobar the other night before the Wallflowers came on. Does Binn want to do TV now, what magazines in every city aren t enough? Oh, and Jakob Dylan is as tiny as Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sally Jessie Raphael at Kim Lepine salon on 61st and Madison. She looked like a burn victim—red face and she was talking really loud. Seemed overbearing and extremely obnoxious. Her face was red, as if she had just had a chemical peel—but they don't do chemical peels at the salon, so it must have just been her face. And no, she wasn't wearing red glasses.

Went to dinner at a little French restaurant uptown (sorry can't recall the name) and noticed Matthew Modine sitting there while we were waiting for our table. But more importantly, the man he was eating with who had his back to me turned out to be Liam Neeson. Liam's tall but not as tall as I'd imagined. Modine's looking kind of old, and also used the ladies bathroom.

Saw Campbell Scott at decently swanky new restaurant-lounge The Juniper Suite on 56th. He was dressed normally, but what jumped out was how gray his hair was. We're talking like Centrum Silver here. Maybe he's secretly 68 years old.

I just saw Adam Arkin (salt and pepper color hair/lesser George Clooney guy) from Chicago Hope at the Starbucks on 6th and 52nd Street. He was carrying his baby and chatting with a friend.

Just saw Mary Tyler Moore walking down 5th avenue, looking freakishly taut from plastic surgery. But what's even stranger is that I could have sworn the Enquirer published photos of her recently, claiming she was going blind from diabetes. But you should have seen her swaying through the crowd, cane-less. Could the Enquirer have been wrong?

On the 1/9 heading uptown on Thursday evening (3/31), my friend and I spotted a beautiful, casually dressed Kelly Rowan (a/k/a "Kirsten" from The O.C. ) getting on the train with a female friend at Canal Street. When we got close enough to eavesdrop on their conversation, we heard them discussing roles on Oxygen Network shows. Surely, The O.C. can't be going that badly.

I was at Grand central station picking up some lunch and they were filming some pilot for a new CBS series called The Commuters and I saw David Arquette, Jonathan 'Christina Applegate is my wife and I make TV movies' Schaech and some ex 90210 and 3rd watch guy, upfrontandthisclose. Arquette is shorter than I expected but WOW he is way hotter than i expected as well. He looks sooo scrumptious in person and out of those clown outfits he usually wears. I really wanted to go up to him and say 'Hi Mr. Cox.' I kinda like the sound of that.

Saw Yoko Ono peering over the balcony at the Bowery Ballroom, 3/30. Obviously there to see her son Sean open for Regina Spektor. Weirdly enough, Sean's guitarist that night was Harper Simon, son of Paul. Yoko was wearing her usual little taxi driver cap and with a green light shining on her face, looked very ghoulish. She gave her son a standing ovation, then left before Regina's set.

Last night saw Thom Felicia from queer eye on corner of 13th and 9th. He was with a plain jane sort of girl, and looked much thinner than he does on TV: wearing requisite jeans, cowboy boots, white turtleneck and vest, hair perfect. Too bad he's gay. Also, this am my paralegal saw Patrick Dempsey in Times Sq area — stop snickering, if you saw the grey's anatomy premiere you know he looks a lot better than his "can't buy me" days...

Saw Mike Meyers and wife last night at a sketchy deli on Bleecker near NYU. No clue what he was doing there or purchasing, but he's in need of a haircut and a stylist to remove his unflattering army cargo jacket.

Walked into a NoLita nail salon on Wed. & saw a striking woman sitting in the pedicure chair. As I was getting my manicure, my friend next to me paged through one of the trashy (yet always delicious) tab rags. There was a picture of Iman (model & David Bowie wife). She and the manicurist pointed to it, glanced at Iman sitting not two feet away, and snickered. Only then did I realize it was the real Iman. She seemed nice & like a regular at the salon.

Just saw Glenn Close at the Starbucks on 60th and Broadway, wearning standard celeb gear (a black overcoat and large black sunglasses). She was with a gentleman her age (husband, I assume), who she leaned on in a cutesy way (which I was a little disappointed to see, as she is not someone I would describe as cute). I am happy to report that I behaved much better this time than the last time I saw her in public, when I was 15, drunk, and insisted on yelling, "Hey guys, that's Glenn Close! Lady, you're Glenn Close!"

I saw John Lithgow and MoMA's Todd Bishop at The Museum of Modern Art early Thursday 3/31. Lithgow was taller than I imagined and Bishop was as handsome in person as he is in pictures. They seemed chummy and Lithgow didn't look like he was afraid of heights as he peered over the sixth floor atrium's banister.

I had dinner a few feet away from Woody and Soon-Yi (with another couple) at new midtown Indian restaurant Rangole Saturday niight. Soon-Yi did most of the talking. Woody paid.

Tonight, Saturday, I went to see the second to last performance of "After Ashley" featuring Kieran Culkin and Anna Paquin. And as if that wasn't cool enough (I <3 Igby Goes Down), as I was leaving the theatre located on E. 18th St. & Lafayette I saw Mila Kunis coming out of the Starbucks carrying a grande coffee. I'm sure she was on her way to congratulate/ visit Kieran, since she is dating his older brother, Macaulay Culkin. Coincidence? I think not. But she's totally hot.. In fact, I didn't recognize her right away since she was dressed heavily to avoid the rain. But I did look at her since she was so gorgeous— and then a closer examination led me to my final discovery.. I found it very respectable, though, that she braved the cold weather just to cheer on her future brother-in-law.. I love her that much more now..

Saw Arrested Development's David Cross at some hipster loft "after party" in chinatown with his cousin who works for Vice around 6am this morning (Saturday the 2nd). I don't know if he stayed for long because I didn't see him after that but I was also being a social butterfly so I wouldn't know. If I hadn't been told who he was before this sighting by a friend who loves that show, I would've never known who he was. I do realize I've seen him around alot before this and never recognized him from Eternal Sunshine. Whoops. Sorry David, I know you read Gawker.

Olde Bj rk was twirling around Orchard Bar on Thursday night. She was wearing some kind of Jean Muir meets AsFour white muslin/cheesecloth potato-sack/overalls number with a topside ponytail, and was clearly either hopped up on goofballs, or totally drunk off her nut. I'll give her credit for closing the place down at 4am, but she was overheard slurring to the DJ about Timbaland. Also spotted there: gorgeous Melissa Burns (from W.I.T.), Debbie Attias (from Avenue D) and Kai (from AsFour), who was trying to get the DJ to play Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits that he had brought with him to the bar.

I was sipping my Snapple on the corner of Broadway and Bleecker and who shuffles right past me but Queer As Folk's resident hot young thing, Randy Harrison. This boy is seriously white!!! He looked like the posterchild for the Aryan Brotherhood. His hair was dyed platinum blonde and his skin is perfection - alibaster white and not a blemish in sight. I'm so jealous. Anyway, he was wearing a khaki jacket and lugging around a leather messenger bag. He looked super pissed, like he would punch you in the face if you dared say hello to him. Maybe he's just bummed cuz he's out of a job?? (Queer As Folk just wrapped up filming on their final season).

In this edition: Henry Kissinger, Anna Wintour, Will Smith, Sylvester Stallone, Nicky Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Winona Ryder, Samuel L. Jackson, Lizzie Grubman, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Atoosa Rubenstein, Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson, Matt Damon, Mike Myers, Kate Hudson, David Arquette, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, Al Sharpton, Jai Rodriguez, Michael Showalter, Olsens, Steve Kroft, Linda Fiorentino, Paul Bettany, Rachel Dratch, Parker Posey, Katie Holmes, Dave Chappelle, Jimmy Fallon, Julia Stiles, Amy Sedaris, Mike Myers, Adrien Grenier, John Waters, Rachel Weisz, Mo Rocca, Ana Matronic, Sandra Bernhard, and Justin Bond.

I saw Henry Kissinger at the Nomadic Museum on Thursday, 3/24 around 4:00. Would have taken a photo, but he was on the way to the port-a-potties.

Last Thursday having lunch at Osteria del Circo, and in the tiny booth was Henry Kissinger and an unidentified blond. Henry looked like was wearing make-up.

I just shared an elevator with Anna Wintour at the Conde Nast building. It was the first time I had seen her around and it was a very satisfying sighting because she was a total caricature of herself. (Huge shades worn indoors, severely tailored suit with fur collar and she was even having a phone conversation that consisted of little more than "oh but darling you simply CAN'T...")

Saw Will Smith today (3/29) at the Viacom building in Times Square. Seemed really impressed with himself and all the attention he was getting from the female interns who act like their shit don't stink while making minimum wage to push the next manufactured pop act.

Saw Rocky, aka Sylvester Stallone, mugging for fans outside Brooklyn Diner this morning (3/29) on 57th near 7th. He was laughing and smiling and happily posing for pictures for fans, some of whom were obviously quite giddy about the experience. He was dressed nattily in a nice suit and seemed to be quite obliging.

Saw Nicky Hilton walking down Broadway in the Fashion District with a medium sized black man and an older fat bald man, both in suits. She was wearing a short sleeved black sweater and looked really cold with her arms folded smoking a cigarette. she had a ton of make up on, very orange tan, very very black hair. she is much thinner in person than I thought and tall.

last thursday night was walking with a friend down essex b/t Stanton and rivington when we noticed a bunch of movie trailers lined up along the street. out of nowhere, lindsay lohan storms past us on the sidewalk with four curlers in her hair and a really distressed look on her face. she was wearing a white sweater, which contrasted with the sickly burnt-orange shade of her skin. if mary-kate resembles a homeless munchkin, then (as my friend noted), lindsay's more like an oompa loompa.

Spotted on West Broadway near "The Plohound", Winona Ryder and Co., looking very petite (shocker) and dressed plainly. Had this sighting occurred circa 10 years ago, I probably would've flung myself into traffic, Martha Dumptruck-style, from sheer excitement. Now, I clutched my purse and tried to remember the name of that Sandler movie she was in. Poor Winona. How you say, Reality Bites?

Almost ran into the man himself, Samuel L. Jackson, at Lexington and 48th Street on Tuesday 3/29 at 6pm. He was walking head down, on his mobile, looking very un-movie star carrying a Duane Reade bag. No one seemed to notice as he chatted away.

Just had lunch at Shopsin's on Carmine and Bedford and as soon as I walked in I saw the uber-tan Lizzie Grubman sittingdown with a couple of guys and girl. She was loud, but friendly, with the staff. She had the meatloaf and praised it highly for everyone to hear. I expect to see that meatloaf caught by the paparazzi later this week in US Weekly.

on saturday 3/26, i walked out of american eagle and saw a huge crowd of people. turns out they were waiting for gwen stefani and gavin rossdale to check out of the mercer hotel. i couldn't see much, because i'm short and there were tons of people, but gavin is very attractive, and the two of them have very cheap-looking luggage. meanwhile, while everyone was waiting, i saw natalie imbruglia and daniel johns hop in a taxi without being noticed by anyone in the crowd.

Saw Atoosa Rubenstein walking on Broadway near the Seventeen offices today (3/30) around 9:30 am. Early for a big shot like her, but I only had one thought: who wears THAT MUCH makeup to work? Girlfriend looked like she was going clubbing. Honestly.

I was walking along the elipse this afternoon, which, despite the suggestion of Spring, was pretty quiet. That's why the couple sitting on an approaching bench caught my eye. As my vision sraightened out, and given my rude propensity to stare at people, I thought, wow, that guy would look so much more like Liam Neeson if he got a haircut. Wrong I was: it was Liam Neeson, with Natasha Richardson, looking out at the park and eating hot dogs and pretzel from their laps. Tranquil. Ahhhh.

Had a celeb sighting at the gym (Crunch on Lafayette) today. First, Matt Damon was exiting as I was entering, accompanied by a decidedly non-celeb type (his personal trainer?). He had no gym bag with him, so I'm guessing he didn't want to give any of the gym's sizable gay clientele an eyeful in the locker room. God forbid someone other than Affleck offer him a blowjob!

Smokin and drinkin' on a Tuesday night at the BC show. Recognizable VIP's included Kate Hudson (already documented how small and hot she is) with her pals. Then David Arquette showed up with someone that could have been Courtney Cox's sister but definitely
wasn't her (not like they were making out or anything). He was rocking out, and made the compulsory concert phone call, where he held the phone up to catch the music (was that a call to his wife?) He later left the friendly confines of the VIP box and made a dash through the audience to get closer to stage, bumping into listeners and apologizing very politely. Mid-way through the show, Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor showed, no doubt coming straight from a performance of his new play. He was uncomfortably rocking until he finally recognized a song and sang along.

just saw the rev. al sharpton on 45th + 5th as i attempted to have a civilized lunch at Dishes during the rally for the west side stadium. his hair actually looks worse in person, if that is possible.

the useless cute one from queer eye [Ed: we're guessing Jai Rodriguez?] on bleecker, talking about how he was presenting an award at one of those fun gay awards shows. slightly less useless was a scruffy michael showalter at the diane arbus show. he was more interested in the tiny pretty girl he was with than the photographs. they were clearly loving each others company. needless to say, he and his companion were both looking/acting very happy, and, dare i say it, adorable.

This morning, in the lobby of The Brooklyn Museum, I saw one of the Olsen twins—not surprisingly, I couldn't tell which one, though looks just like she does in Us Weekly. She was tiny and dressed in that weird grandma's-afghan/Jackie-O-sunglasses way, accompanied by an equally tiny friend and a big beefy bald guy. Olsen and friend went straight from the front door to the ladies' room. Too much Starbucks or something more sinister? Amusingly, the lobby was full of junior high students, none of whom recognized her.

I saw Ashley Olsen on Wednesday at 6:00 sitting in the window of an animal adoption place on 13th between 5th and 6th. She was sitting in the front display window with a dog in her lap talking to someone who worked there and some psuedo-hipster dude. She totally noticed me standing at the window and staring at her while I called my friend and told her I was standing in front of the most surreal window display in NYC. She was dressed like a maniac, as usual, but very pretty, and looked very serene and happy. Maybe that's because her crazy sister is transferring to the West Coast where her um...."habits" are more acceptable?

Finally had my first Olsen sighting! Ashley Olsen and date/boyfriend catching the South Carolina-Maryland game at the NIT semifinals (second rate post-season college b-ball tournament.) She wasn't there for the first game match-up of St. Joe's vs. Memphis. She had decent seats, but was not courtside- center court about 15-20 rows back- Ash was slumming! Jeans and many layers on top- scarves, jackets whatnot... even though it finally broke 50 degrees yesterday. Scruffy bodyguard w/ black leather jacket sat behind her and led her to the bathroom 4 minutes into the second half. She let a few fans take photo's with her on their camera phones. I briefly considered going up to her w/ my Star magazine and asking her to sign it, but decided against it, as I bet she wouldn't have been amused. She is small of stature, but after reading how tiny she and MK were I was expecting it. She looks healthy though, and has a great colorist. She left w/ her man with about 3 minutes left in the miserable game.

Friday night my girlfriend and I were eating dinner at a restaurant in Southampton when Steve Kroft of 60 Minutes came in with his very blond wife and PS2-toting young son. Half the meal was spent with Steve going back to the bar to watch a basketball game while his wife read the paper, the other half was them discussing the pros and cons of moving to a townhouse from a doorman building. Apparently the wife was more "con". No one to pick up laundry, can't lose your keys which, from the sound of it, is something Steve does with great frequency.

Saw Linda Fiorentino hailing a cab on Broadway at 62nd street this morning (3/29) at 10:00. With shoepolish-black hair a long black overcoat and a pissed off expression she looked...like my rich aunt Joan who lives on the UES, smokes a lot, wears black, and has never married.

On my way back to Los Angeles after my first trip to the _real_ big city I saw Paul Bettany at JFK. My boyfriend had no idea who he was and everyone I have since mentioned Mr. Bettany to has no recollection of this actor.

Saw SNL's Rachel Dratch Mar 18 at Rosa Mexicano on the UWS. She and her three gal pals were at a table near us. She seemed, well, normal. Looks less angular in person. Didn't seem to have a 'tude, just came for some margaritas and mexican food.

On Saturday afternoon I had two notable spottings... first, I was sitting on a stoop outside the 9th Street Market around 12:30 when I looked up and into the face of Parker Posey as she roller skated by us, with a big hat to squash down that perm thing she's got going on right now... and then later in the afternoon I was uptown and poking around at Barneys, and I caught sight of Katie Holmes shopping in the men's department with some beefy, football-loving type of guy.

walking through union square on sunday 3/28 and saw dave chappelle looking thugged out and truly skinny in a down vest and hooded sweatshirt. having what seemed to be a serious conversation with a male friend. only reason i knew it was him was the voice.

Yesterday my wife and I passed a bleary-eyed Jimmy Fallon on 18th Street, crossing 2nd Ave, heading east. We smiled politely, he reciprocated. Maybe he's got friends or family living in PCV/ST?

Last week I entered a tiny shoe repair shop between 3rd Ave and Irving, south of 20th Street, and inside was Julia Stiles. She was sitting quietly on a small chair, hands folded on her lap. On the counter was a pile of fashionable-looking heels.

i saw amy sedaris today on university & 12th carrying what looked like a tray of baked goods (maybe the cupcakes she sells at joe??) she was a bit frumped out in sweatpants (real sweatpants- the kind with elastic at the bottom) and a black suburban mom coat that was way too big on her, but she was nonetheless very cute and very teeny tiny.

I was just walking through Washington Square Park and happened upon a small group of NYU undegrads crowded around Mike Myers... The funny thing is that Myers looked like he was on his way to teach a class or something... he had a grad student quality about him. He's much younger looking in person than I had expected.

Easter Sunday, saw Adrien Grenier walking west on St. Marks between Ave A - 1st. His orange and green Von Dutch trucker hat made me wanna ask him which member of his Entourage told him those were still in fashion. If it was an attempt to be incognito, a neon orange and green hat was not the way to go. So hot in person, great sighting except having to explain to HBO-less friends, "he was that guy in the Melissa Joan Hart movie, with the Britney Spears soundtrack."

Saw John Waters peering over his shades at Penn Station on Sunday, 3/27 at noon waiting for the Metroliner to Baltimore.

saw rachel weisz on sunday afternoon coming out of Gourmet Garage on Mercer Street. She was very casual in jeans and a hat, hair pulled back. Not very tall, but was with a man (boyfriend/husband?) who was pretty tall.

Monday morning (3/21) sat next to Mo Rocca of The Daily Show fame on a Newark to Cancun flight. He is very polite and has a nerdy laugh. He is suprisingly cute in real life and has quite a few grey hairs. He sat in coach and waited in the 2 hour customs line with the rest of the plebeians. He was traveling alone and when he got to the airport kept walking past us like a lost child. He seemed confused.

I had a seriously great sighting Saturday night while having dinner at Panna II on 6th St. Ana Matronic (of Scissor Sisters), Sandra Bernhard, and Justin Bond (of Kiki and Herb). They were all dressed very casual but well and seemed very into their conversation. Sandra's a lot taller than I've been lead to believe and Ana was just disturbingly beautiful. Justin Bond was the one that really blew me away...he's very un-drag queenish and much more girly-girly (kinda like the gay boys I knew in high school).

In this edition: Karl Lagerfeld, Sharon Osbourne, Steve Martin, Robbie Williams, Christian Slater, Woody Allen and Soon Yi, Anna Wintour and Derek Blasberg (in the same room!), Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Tara Subkoff, Jeff Koons, Gloria Steinem, Terry Richardson, Thom Yorke, Hope Davis, Jon Stewart, Daria Werbowy, Katie Holmes, Albert Hammond Jr., Parker Posey, Gavin DeGraw, Charlie Rose, Kate Hudson, Olsens, Rocco DiSpirito, Matthew Barney and Bjork, Denis Leary, Liev Schreiber, Isaac Mizrahi, Bethany Joy Lenz, Matt Pinfield, Josh Homme and Brody Dalle, B.D. Wong, Jay McCarroll, and Andy Blitz.

Saw Karl Lagerfeld at a SoHo photoshoot. Wearing his trademark black sunglasses, white shirt and knee high black boots. Looked as condescending and pretentious as he does in magazines. Shocker.

I had a bunch of random sightings this week. Thursday I almost ran into Karl Lagerfeld during his photoshoot in front of Chanel in midtown. That night, I saw Bethany Joy Lenz from One Tree Hill (the one that sings) at Josie's in the UWS. And last night I saw Matt Pinfield (does he still work at MTV??!?!?) at the Kaiser Chiefs' concert at Bowery Ballroom. He was looking kinda old and bloated.

3/24/05 7pm - saw sharon osbourne leaving the sony store on madison with a large sony bag in hand. she was alone which surprised me and wearing a L.A.M.B sweater (gwen stefani's label). she is incredibly midget like.

Saw steve martin on west 11th street last night around 7 getting out of his black Mercedes with a very, very young looking skinny girl. His daughter or girlfriend? She looked vaguely familiar and was wearing a fabulous dress. He looks the same in person, but has the demanor of someone who has been famous for so long that they are hyperware of
their fame.

Saturday afternoon at Mercer Kitchen. Me and my drop dead gorgeous Mexican friend chat over a cappuccino, one of the few good in NYC a guy enters the place from the lobby of the hotel. Dark shades, black coat wool cap a tattoo running up his neck to the ear. I thought he was smaller, but Robbie Williams is really handsome and cool. He seemed scared about the crowd waiting outside the hotel, he probably felt uncomfortable. But he was going back and forth in the bar hey Rob, you could at least have stopped to invite us for dinner, the Italian and the Mexican would have shown u something beautiful .

saw Christian Slater outside the Barrymore Theatre after Glass Menagerie 3/26...he was surprisingly built but with a massive forehead, with wife and kids, supposedly divorcing, she looked pretty harassed and annoyed and he seemed to be working hard to keep her happy, nice looking kids though. All in all he seemed like a nice guy.

Was in Central Park on a glorious spring-like day earlier this week, when I spotted a hunched over old man walking with a very young woman. I thought at first it was just another geezer out for some air with his nurse. (You see a lot of that in the park) But on closer examination it turned out to be Woody Allen and Soon Yi, just strolling along amongst the crowd, virtually unnoticed. Of course, he's been out of the limelight for so long it's possible that nobody really did recognize him. Even so, they make a stunningly odd couple, since she dresses like a teenager and his wardrobe looks like a throwback to the 1940s. Still, she was clutching his arm as they walked. Either a true sign of affection or she was steadying his dottering gait (I couldn't tell).

my friend invited me to some art gallery opening last night and in the hopes of meeting mr. (hetero—PLEASE!) right, i went. don't ask me how I know who he is, but the vogue staffer Derek Blasberg was there giggling with a tranny until the she-devil herself, Anna Wintour, walked in with her strangely plastic-looking husband. hoping to witness some fashion shade, I was disappointed when she just smiled pleasantly at him (I didn't know she could do that) before he made sure to avoid her for the rest of the seven minutes she was there. she looked stupid: despite the snow, this fashion authority was wearing ill-fitted jeans and—SHOCKER—open toed heels. She did however match her fur coat perfectly with her highlighted bob. other stalkings at this venue: Marc Jacobs with Anna Sui (does she go everywhere with him?), tara subkoff and jeff koons. kudos to Rachel Feinstein, who I learned was the artist, on a great opening (even if there were no hetero's).

Before waiting an hour for a table which I was told would be ready in five minutes, I saw Gloria Steinem. She was with 4 friends who were packed like sardines onto a two-top. I had the pleasure of watching her go from soup to nuts before enjoying my own less-than-stellar trout.

My friends and I were standing outside of Balthazar, Saturday afternoon around 4:00 when we noticed Terry Richardson chilling on one of the benches with a lady friend. He was wearing his signature glasses, blue work pants, and a grey jacket. Very nondescript. He mentioned something about "we could go upstate". He got up and left with girlie and walked east towards Bowery. He's pretty tall.

I saw THOM YORKE! at the No Fun Fest in "up-and-coming Red Hook" this past weekend, checking out Hototogisu, the Double Leopards/Sunroof! Side project thing. He seemed to really like it. It was definitely him cause I used to be his #1 fan plus I saw that evil eye! Yes!

Sensed a celebrity sighting Easter Sunday at Chelsea Market and I was right! Hope Davis was behind me on line at Sarabeth's around 12:30 PM. I think she bought the same elephant cookies I had purchased for my daughter just moments before. Hope was definitely in a bad mood and not the cute bad mood she has in her movies. She was slightly older, taller and thinner than I would have thought and her trademark circles under her eyes not as pronounced. Hope, if it cheers you up you looked great in those boots.

Jon Stewart (white baseball cap and looking nervously at the crowds), baby and his wife (I didn't see her, only her back) at Whole Foods Union Square on the 26th in the late afternoon. I wanted to get a better look at Stewart's wife, who was recently arrested for driving without a license, but ended up not achieving this goal.

saw the outrageously tall and not-alarmingly-beautiful-yet-very-striking daria werbowy strolling down broadway yesterday. it was very messy and gorgeous—ripped jeans, mui mui moccasin slippers, leather jacket, layers of necklaces, and perfectly unmaintained tossled locks. she was with her whole family, several generations i'd say, and as i followed her uptown, she ran into jack mccullough from proenza schouler and introduced the whole family. he has nice eyes. no lazaro in sight. Damn daria was pretty. yeah, pretty is the word. really pretty.

Spotted Katie Holmes hiding behind a big ol' pair of glasses on Grove Street.

I met a Stroke around st Marks yesterday; Albert Hammond Jr. He looked very happy and was walking hand in hand with a blonde girl, for me unknown. My friend, who's the biggest Strokes-fan ever, stopped them and asked if she could take a photo. But he said no and continue to walk, I guess her q made him a bit pissed. But she took a photo anyway, so now she has his and the girl's backs documented. She's a future paparazzi!

Was dining at Dok Suni on Friday evening when in strolled Parker Posey to join a female friend for dinner. Red wine and Korean salad were consumed. I don't really dig her frightwig look as her hair looks like it weighs more than she does.

Saw the voice of the One Tree Hill themesong, Gavin DeGraw purchasing a bunch of Ray Charles and James Brown CD's at Virgin Megastore. My friend said something to im and we wound up talking to the guy about music for close to an hour. Despite coming off a bit elegantly wasted, he was incredibly friendly and seemed to really enjoy talking about obscure soul artists and the like. His comment about wanting to kick Suge Knight's ass was curious though. Also, he was with an incredibly attractive blonde from Louisiana named Jolene. Jolene, if you're reading this, hope the wisdom teeth operation goes well!

At Pastis on Sunday at 2:30 PM, sat at table next to Charlie Rose and a much younger Asian woman. Couldn't tell if she was girlfriend, wife, friend or collegue - she seemed to be very flirty and touchy, but they had some notebooks and papers that seemed to be work-related.

It was all happenning at The Black Crowes show on Friday night...a tiny Kate Hudson wearing a hippie schmatta over jeans and a floppy hat. She was drinking beer and rockin out. Chris even waved to her from the stage and she waved back...too cute. Then there was an even tinier Ashley Olsen and an itsy-bitsy MK. Mary Kate is skin and bones. The two of them were sitting up on a balcony with a bunch of friends who looked like they all tried very hard to wear their most rock-n-roll clothes (read: fringe). The friends sat most of the time and didn't seem to be enjoying themselves. Ashley danced, but didn't know the words, whick MK did. MK was seemingly WASTED. I never saw her drink, or anything, but she was doing the hair-swingin, hands-in-the-air hippie dance like she was at a Dead show on acid. She left during the show once, holding hands with her bodyguard on one side, and a woman that was with them (her eating coach?) on the other. She came back, and didn't stand up again. They all left holding hands during the encore. I wish they hadn't been there, cuz I could barely pay attention to the show...I was entranced by MK's antics!

Saw Mary Kate Olsen at the Knicks game last night with some guy who must have been very short too since he wasnt much taller than her... he was balding with a crew cut but didnt look that old. MK was wearing ripped black tights with cowboy boots, and when she got to leave, it looked like all of her clothes were actually going to fall off. She is TINY.

ok - yes, finally i can die happy - toady I finally had my Olsen sighting... MK coming out of Industria on Washington, looking actually very happy, camera slung around her not-as-tiny-as-I-had-imagined body, brown cowboy boots - and shawl-y things on scrubbed clean complexion - with the ubiquitous bodyguard and big black SUV...

spotted a very hot (or should I say yummy) looking Rocco DiSpirito in the West Village yesterday - looking very tan and I must say like he's been spending a lot of time at the gym...

Sunday night, Matthew Barney & Bjork got their DEATH METAL on at B.B. Kings for the Cryptopsy show. She was wearing clothes that didn t make any sense and doing dances, (I think she is batshit crazy) it was very cute. He just hung out with his ART FAG buddies that looked kind of uncomfortable. Cryptopsy were awesome.

Spotted none other than the fabulous Parker "Air raid" Posey coming out of an East Village apartment with roller blades on, a mess of hair, and a huge grin.

Saw Denis Leary today on Avenue A between 9th and 10th. He was filming something. I tried not to stare, but couldn't help it; he looked gorgeous, taller than I thought, in tight pants and big black sunglasses, and was talking on his cellphone. He's got very high, sculpted cheekbones. He can "Rescue Me" anytime. Oh, and the biggest surprise of all—he wasn't smoking.

I saw Liev Schreiber and a tiny redhead outside Jane Restaurant in the West Village last night. He has a goofy mustache and was wearing khaki pants, rumpled white shirt and black coat. He was smoking a cigarette. She was in yoga pants and carrying a yoga bag. They had a little dog with them. Don't know who she is.

Saw Isaac Mizrahi last night @ Masa. He was sitting at the bar with a very dignified-looking, older, grey-hair chick. He looked awesome (or I might just have thought that because I love anyone in orange, and he was wearing a bright orange jacket), and by all appearances was very classy and polite.

My friends and I were hanging at Niagra last night when Josh Homme, Brody Dalle and quite an entourage showed up for a "secret after party" (according to a drunk girl who claimed to be "Bro-dog's GIRRRRL!") in the downstairs Tikki lounge. Josh politely talked to many ogling fans before going downstairs, while Brody went to pee (or do something else??!) several times in the bathroom. Just as we were leaving, Nick 'making his appearance' Zinner showed up to round out the cool people's club.

I saw B.D. Wong on Seventh Ave. this morning holding hands with a toddler. If I recall, he and his partner adopted a child, named him Foo, then B.D. wrote a book about two men raising a baby, then B.D. left his partner and took Foo with him. So I assume the toddler was Foo, but there was another man holding Foo's other hand. Perhaps Foo's new second daddy?

I was leaving the gym on Tuesday night 3/22, and I saw Jay McCarroll from "Project Runway" at Union Square. I knew it was him from the headwrap, sunglasses and laugh. He was standing in front of the Diesel store with a man and a woman.

I was walking around Union Square on Saturday afternoon and saw Andy Blitz (from Conan O'Brien) by the big ugly digital clock. He was wearing red flannel and looked bald and scruffy, just like on Late Night. I would've said hi but i had no idea what his name was till i got home.

In this edition: Lizzie Grubman, Jonathan Cheban, Leonard Cohen, P. Diddy, Drew Barrymore, 50 Cent, Edward Norton, Al Pacino, Richard Dreyfus, Eric Stoltz, Ed Koch, Julianne Moore, Kate Hudson with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Josh Homme, Mary-Kate, David Cross, Real World Mallory, Jake Shears, Jay McCarroll, and the Top Model triumvirate of Eva, Janice Dickinson and Jay Manuel.

I went to brunch at Shopsin's on Sunday in the early afternoon and this blond woman with tanned hair turns around and stares at me. I realized it was Lizzie Grubman and she was having brunch with Clarendon-clad Jonathan Cheban and another guy. I sat near them and was able to overhear bits and pieces of their conversation. First they called the waiter over and asked him for iced coffee and when the typically and charmingly irascible Shopsin's waitstaff said they didn't have any iced coffee, Lizzie threw her 2 cents in - "Can't you just pour some hot coffee and put some ice in it? How about we try to be creative?" Whoa. Later, Lizzie started talking about driving and I SWEAR this is true: "I love driving! I love it." Then she said that she told that to a friend and the friend was shocked, "YOU DRIVE?" Ha Ha. Then her male friend made this comment, "Yeah you should just drive everywhere with your white reverse lights on!" Lizzie and company laughed and laughed. I swear. It was sick! She is a superfreak.

Waltzed into Burger Heaven on 54th/Mad for my red meat fix, and who's sitting there but Leonard Cohen. LEONARD COHEN! He was with a woman, and they were both waiting for their food. I plotzed. He's my man.

You probably got this one ten times already but P Diddy came to the latest Patrick McMullen Gay Fest last night at Glo. Honestly, one of the most random things I have ever seen. It might as well have been the Queen of England.

saw drew barrymore in the early afternoon of 3/21. as we passed the corner of 1st ave/st marks, I noticed yet another EV girl wearing jeans tucked into mid calf height, light tan suede boots with straps. I thought "when is that look going to be over?!" then I looked at her face and realized she was drew barrymore. she has beautiful skin and wore a black jacket with a magenta scarf. at least it wasn't the ubiquitous tiny fur jacket or army jacket with fur trim. didn't notice the person she was with as our car drove by too quickly.

Just saw 50 Cent not two minutes ago in the lobby of my office building on Union Square North. I was waiting for the elevator and lo and behold, the doors opened and 50 and about ten other huge scary looking guys came out. He looked exactly as I would have expected, physically, but wasn't all that intimidating. Not really sure why he would be in my building, although it houses a lot of different offices. He could have been visiting a doctor or lawyer... or perhaps Elizabeth Arden corporate on the 7th floor!? Alas, I may never know.

i just saw edward norton chatting on his cell phone at the corner broadway and houston. i was rounding the corner, heading to the north east entrance of the broadway lafayette station, when i noticed a man in a brown leather bomber jacket hiding in the three foot space between the new building on broadway and the subway sign (where the homeless people sleep). at a closer look, i realized it was ed norton looking frumpier than expected. think rob lowe in st. elmos fire when he keeps going back to georgetown to play touch football with his fraternity brothers.

Last night I had the pleasure of dining at Joe Allens, sitting next to a large round table with such luminaries as Al Pacino, Richard Dreyfus, the drug dealer from Pulp Fiction [Eric Stoltz], and a few other faces I seemed to recognize. The wine was flowing and they all seemed to be having a grand time, even stopping to sign my sisters theater program and pose for a few photos. Very nice table of people.

A very old Ed Koch at Fairway on Wednesday evening, 3/23, pushing his cart around the crowded store looking for ???. He eventually seemed to settle for some diet Dr. Pepper. He had a cut over his eye and looked a bit worse for wear.

On Sunday I saw Julianne Moore and a scruffy, cute guy (husband or bf, I don't know her situation at all) eating a Dojo on 4th st. She looked small and pretty. But, Dojo? Really? Kind of weird, a movie star eating like a broke NYU student. Whatever, she made a good sighting for my out of town friend.

Kate Hudson has been the dedicated wife for the first two of seven Black Crowes shows at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Both nights she has been all smiles from the balconey. Everytime Chris Robinson looked over in her direction the crowd would turn and watch to see her reaction. Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, who was dancing like a maniac all night, were also up in the balconey on Wednesday, the opening night.

saw josh homme (lead singer of queens of the stone age) at virgin megastore union square on tuesday the 22nd around 8pm. he was waiting in line to buy his own cd (new album was released this week). he's quite tall and much better looking than i expected. everybody was too obsessed staring at their bloc party cds (also released this week) to notice him.

Saw Mary-Kate Olsen on the 8:30 Delta Shuttle yesterday (Tue), from Boston to La Guardia. She was diminutive and wearing her trademark tights, brown cowboy boots and shawls (NY Times take note), and was accompanied by a shortish, unshaved fellow in a blue sweatshirt and brown moccasins. And yes, they both carried the venti mocchachinos (what's up with that?) They took the very front seat (Delta Shuttle has no first class), and put their feet up on the partition; after a while Mr. Moccasin took of his shoes, so we enjoyed a charming view of his nude feet high up on that partition above everyone's head-level. They had the comp. wine and left their goldfish wrappers and cup holders on the floor. And that, children, is all.

Apparently I am the last NYU student in Greenwich Village to have a satisfying Mary-Kate Olsen sighting — until today. I was leaving my classroom at 94 Mercer Street and she was walking into the one next to mine. She was wearing cut and ripped black tights, black chucks, and an orange top. Also had on huge sunglasses and her hair was a nasty rat's nest. She was talking to a homely looking jewy girl (happy purim!) about shoes. Oh, and she was carrying what might as well have been a trough of Starbucks coffee. Still, she was strangely endearing, like a half squished praying mantis or something.

I was on an extended return to my old, now fancified East Village neighborhood, and after confronting one too many yuppies on Avenue B, I ducked into my old chiropractor's office, where I was positioned on a bed/rack just a few feet away from David Cross. None of this was too thrilling, since Cross used to live across the street from me. But now that I live out of town, I've discovered that he actually has fans who eat up the whole "I got adjusted next to David Cross" anecdote thing....

Are we considering Real Worlders celebrities? If so, saw Mallory from Real World Paris boozing it up on Saint Patrick's Day at the Black Sheep in midtown. She looked exactly like she did that season, hair in a messy bun worse than mine from my catholic school days and no make up. She was with a nordic looking male 'model' type and some random old ladies. No one paid any attention to them probably too busy smirking about that little Sports Illustrated padded bikini top thing

I passed Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, whom I've met before, not forgettting the piercing blue eyes and boyish good looks...neither of which made up for the Claire Huxtable-inspired getup that involved bizarre patterns and a backpack fit, literally and visually, for a kindergartener, circa 1988. Hats off, though, as the Sisters remain one of the best albums I've heard in years. Plus, I've seen his Bigmuscle ad, so where do I get off talkin' smack about the guy?

Saw Jay McCarroll eating w/ blond male friend and unidentified woman at Lemongrass Grill in Park Slope on 3/21, around 8pm. And yes, he was wearing a ski hat. Indoors.

On Saturday around 3:00 I was walking east on Prince Street and at the corner of Mercer Street, what caught my eye but the neon orange face of one Mr. Jay Manuel. He was walking with a bobo-ed out Eva Pigford, clad in a huge peasant skirt, wife beater and all sorts of gaudy jewelry. This sighting kept me warm at night until today when I spotted the other J. walking east on 57th, possibly just leaving the Hearst builing. Combining these with the appearance of The Janice [Dickinson] in my office builing, it's been a very Top Model week.

In this edition: Ann Coulter and Catherine Crier, Kirsten Dunst, Ozzy and Sharon Ozbourne, Michael Eisner, Matt Dillon, Rachel Weisz, Fabian Basabe, Julianne Moore, Jeffrey Wright, Audrey Tautou, Mary-Kate Olsen, Gideon Yago, Jimmy Little, Daniel Libeskind, Gavin Rossdale, Jai Rodriguez, Chloe Sevigny, Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe, Kathleen Turner, Marilyn Manson, Omarosa, Paul Giamatti, Josh Hartnett, Katie Holmes, Colin Quinn, Bob Saget (WTF?), Ben Stiller, Jay McCarroll, Josh Hamilton, Adam Duritz, Ice-T, David Eigenberg, Graham Norton, Kim Porter, John Leguizamo, and a Gastineau Girl.

Sat next to Ann Coulter and Catherine Crier (they were dining with unidentified gentleman) during brunch at La Goulue on Sunday, March 20th . Catherine Crier s face looked like a burn victim! She was pulled tight and had obviously had LOTS of work done. But, I can only comment on Ann s blonde locks as she sat with her back towards me. While eavesdropping on Ann and Catherine s conversation, heard a little snippet about their dislike of Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live. They believe that Tina is un-American and she shouldn t be on television which my friend and I found VERY ironic!

Witnessed an axis of evil power lunch on palm Sunday at la goulue anne coulter and catherine crier ripping tina fey APART at the next table for the previous nights snl weekend update crier actually pounding the table and saying shes vile and evil and cant stand her. Crier looks a lot like joan rivers surgically. fey and pohler rule.

I just saw Kirsten Dunst, looking surprisingly tall and pretty, walking up Fifth Avenue near 57th Street. She was pulling the age-old celebrity trick of sporting aviator sunglasses as a disguise. No one noticed her, so it apparently worked in this case. Of course, passersby were likely distracted by the very cute black pug she was walking. I guess now we know who finally gained custody of poor Lovey/Atticus.

On my flight last night from LAX to JFK were Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. When I walked by their first-class seats to get to my own seat in steerage, Ozzy was blathering on in his usual way; Sharon was silent. He's not more than 5'10" and Sharon is teeny, but with the requisite Hollywood huge head

Saw Michael Eisner at the St Patrick's Day performance of Altar Boyz (how un-Disney is that?). He looks a bit like a hairless Burl Ives. And man, is he tall!

On Saturday afternoon, I was walking towards Broadway on the Upper West Side and who walks past me? None other than Matt Dillon. Talk about well-preserved. What a knockout! Then on Sunday I saw Rachel Weisz walking out of Josephina Restaurant on the Upper West Side.

St. Patrick's Day, Saw Rachel Weisz walking on Bleecker by the Marc Jacobs store. Wearing way too much makeup for broad daylight.

Last night, a bunch of friends and I went over to Butter for a few celebratory drinks (I got a new job) and I quickly realized that I was standing next to Fabian Basabe and his wife.

On the UWS on 3/21 at 4:30...Matt Dillon & unidentified not famous woman eating at Columbus Bakery. His head is HUGE, couldn't see the rest of him because he was sitting. He really should stay away from late afternoon sweets, especially so close to the
early bird special.

Saturday 3/19 (3 something PM), saw Julianne Moore at Hudson and 11th. No jacket, just a peach knit top — looking very regal and happy. Great posture!

Sat. afternoon 19 March-4:30pm — I stood a few feet away from totally underrated stage and screen actor Jeffrey Wright (of Angels in America, Topdog Underdog fame among thers) at the coat check at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Wright was presumably there checking out the new Basquiat exhibit. And it was a case of life imitating art since Wright portrayed Jean-Michel Basquiat on the silver screen in the 1996 Julian Schnabel-directed biopic. Mr. Wright, wearing a multi-colored hat, seemed very down to earth and cordial.

There was an adorable little moppet hiding her face under her hair on Houston Friday night. Ever the single man, I did the "engage bowed head and tip upward" move that nvariably works on the subway. This time it worked on the minute, porcelain features of Audrey Tautou. She's five foot nothing, probably a hundred pounds soaking wet, and has a butt like a flagpole, but I still had to restrain myself from chasing her down the street with poorly pronounced French protestations of my undying love.

I just saw the Olsen twin right on Bleecker and Mercer. She must live around here because it's the second time i see her. I think it was Mary Kate. I bet you all want to know what she was wearing. And I'll tell ya: a huge white scarf, black leggings, brown cowboy boots and a green jacket with a hood. [Ed: Yep, sounds like an MK ensemble.] Her face had that glow that the rich girls usually have. Cute girl.

Spotted Gideon Yago on Broadway near Chambers Street Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm. Was walking with two typical hipsters, one of which was wearing an obnoxious rainbow-striped scarf. Perhaps he was heading over to J&R to replace his beloved (and
stolen) laptop?

Cute-as-a-button carpernter Jimmy Little from TLC's TOWN HAUL shopping at Century 21 with a woman who had to be his mother. They were looking at Playboy socks. He obviously has issues with being a redhead (I can totally identify), because his hair is now
overly-highlighted blond. Still adorable.

Bizarrely bespectacled architect/designer Daniel Libeskind (of WTC fame) at the Rubin Museum of Art in Chelsea on Sat., 3/19. He bought a book on Himalayan art before joining two middle-aged (but chic) women at the cafe. Not as cool as seeing Lindsay Lohan in the West Village but oh well.

Gavin Rossdale on Saturday looking taller, thinner, and more like a rugby fan on Houston street than I want my rock stars to look. No one recognized him. Poor Gavin.

Last night (3/17) I spotted Gavin Rossdale by himself (aka no Gwen Stefani in sight) at the Slint reunion show at Irving Plaza. Man, he is very handsome in real life. Great skin, smile and teeth. And he seems to have good music taste despite his former band's music being just so-so. I don't think the huge black body guard he had with him was needed though. The pretentious indie rock crowd hardly paid any attention to him.

Saw Queer Eye's Jai Rodriguez Saturday night around 14th and 7th Ave, looking perfectly primped. He was with two other men, one of which he nuzzled lovingly as they held hands and crossed the street.

Saw Chloe Sevigny waiting in line for the Thursday Slint show at Irving Plaza. I was openly gaping at her atrocious 80s trailerpark chic outfit. She noticed and gave me a look that said "I sucked off Vincent Gallo and you didn't."

At the Pier Antiques Show on Saturday, saw Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe. It might boost his ego to learn that I actually recognized him first, but that is really only because she was sitting with her back to me. She is teeny and was wearing a fairly ugly tunic/jeans-tucked-into-boots combo, but certainly does have a beautiful face. He was slumped in a chair looking bored while she negotiated their purchase of a mid-century coffee table. And guess who carried it out of there? She did. Further evidence for the not-so-burning question of who wears the pants in that family...

This Saturday (3/19) while perusing fine antiques and musty smelling clothes, I spotted Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe at the Pier Antiques Show. Chad is extremely short and Hilary was emphasizing this by using his head as a walking arm rest. My brother and I attempted to act naturally by stopping in our tracks with frozen smiles on our faces. I think it worked.

On Thursday, saw Kathleen Turner in the lighting section of Gracious Home on the UWS. She was going for incognito in a baseball cap and a long black coat, but if she really wants to go unrecognized, she is going to have to learn sign language. That voice is unmistakable.

Was at an art opening in west Chelsea on Saturday and saw some random celebs. Ethan Hawke (looking oh, so handsome), Marilyn Manson, one of the Olsen twins, and Omarosa in these really dark shades looking seriously puzzled by the art work.

Saw Paul {"oh-so-overlooked-for-Oscar") Giamatti of "Sideways" fame" in Brooklyn Heights, pushing a small child-type person in a stroller in front of the hardware store. Gave him the typical New York "I know who you are and appreciate you, but am much too cool to run up and bother you" nod and received a nice one back.

I saw Josh Hartnett having a late brunch at a not really too trendy restaurant in Tribeca (yes, there are still a FEW of those there). He was all scruffed out in a skull cap and lots of facial hair, and was sitting at the bar with a skinny plainish blonde girl. It was a little hard to get service what with all the aspiring model-slash-actor waiters in the place converging behind the bar to fawn over him while trying their best to act faux-casual. (I actually overheard one of them say something containing the phrase, "It's not like they would do that if you were just a REGULAR PERSON!") Ironically, despite this comment, J.H. both looked and behaved more like a regular person than most celebs I've been around in person he was both considerably less cute and much more gracious and normal I'd expect of a "teen idol."

i was just walking down the street (east village) and saw two very beautiful people making out...as i got closer they cooled down but guess what!!!! It was josh hartnett and katie holmes (i love her!!! she is so beautiful). much better choice than the shallow model he used to date.

I saw former "Tough Crowd" host Colin Quinn at dinner at the Manhattan Ocean Club on Sunday night. He was with an asian woman and they looked to be pretty intimate with each other as they were feasting on lobster!

I saw Bob Saget at the Scratcher bar on 5th street at 1:00 am on Friday night. He was with two girls in their late 20s.

Had a Danny Tanner sighting yesterday, walking down 7th Ave between 22nd and 21st . Kinda cute, talking on his cellphone, but my friend and I were surprised- unlike the other Saget-spotter, we thought he didn t look as tall and gangly as we imagined he would (not that we re often imagining him).

I saw Ben Stiller eating dinner at Butter on March 18^th with a cute blonde woman (not Christine Taylor). They left the restaurant at about the same time I did, so I could see how tiny he is! 5 5 at the tallest.

Jay McCarroll of Project Runway fame fuming on his celly outside of Bungalow Thursday night. Could it have been a tiff with the bouncer Disco (they're about the same size, that would make a great t te- -t te.) Maybe it was a Banana Republic design emergency. Either way I was too drunk to care.

Ethan Hawke and Josh Hamilton early this morning - 1 a.m., 2/18 at Corner Bistro in the W. Village. Each with average looking girl in tow. Ethan looking scruffy as hell with requisite trucker hat, jean jacket, and corduroy. Josh sporting moustache. Presumably post-Hurlyburly performance. (Would have preferred Parker Posey.) Ethan hung up his hat and coat on coat hooks. I debated taking the hat to memorialize the occasion but was talked out of it.

so i was out last night with this girl and her friends, they run into adam duritz, he comes along with us, wearing peach-striped brooks brothers shirt and tie and lime-green jacket. we leave. one of the girls in the group gives duritz her digits—he was hitting on everything in sight and nobody would have anything to do with him, the loser—so we get to the next bar. twenty minutes later. literally. twenty minutes later, this girl has ten—TEN—missed calls and messages from duritz. [Ed: Or Pat O'Brien.]

While stumbling drunkenly towards more St. Patty's day fun down Bleecker, we walked right past Adam Duritz getting into a very crowded cab. My friends called, "Adam!" and he was more than gracious and friendly. He seemed much heavier than I expected, with shorter hair that was tied back.

Was at Cain on Wed night. Looking to get a guy, I was very annoyed to discover a group of girls with dance moves and big breasts had taken over one of the banquettes. Later in the night, suddenly, the banquette became totally blocked from view as people crowded around it "gawking." Pushing my way through, I saw this older guy with a beautiful, long-haired blond showing MEGA-WATT cleavage, a cute girl in a peachy dress and mega jewels, and another blonde a little out of place... pretty but in a black top that covered everything. When I finally asked who was what, I was told it was Ice-T, his grilfriend, a woman who started this tv show, and one of the Forbes girls. WEIRD grouping! Needless to say, I did not get my man.

Saw david eigenberg, aka steve from sex in the city at 'the gym' on 26th street. He was taking my gym recess class, stood in front and suffered along with the rest of us. Was very nice and smiley to everyone, wearing a regular old t-shirt and sweatpants.

Was going for lunch St. Patrick's Day when I noticed a blond guy speedily running across 3rd Ave and 38 St to avoid getting hit. I took a better look and noticed it was Graham Norton. He was still in a hurry when I so discreetly yelled OHMIGOD! I SO LOVE YOUR SHOW! He stopped and turned around to see who was discreetly yelling at the top of their lungs at him. He ever so politely answered thank you so much. I lowered my voice an octave and asked him when his show The Graham Norton Effect was returning to Comedy Central. He thought a minute and said in June. Then he politely smiled and said he was late for something and sped away. Nothing catty to say about him cause I LOVE HIS SHOW SO MUCH! However he was all in off-white khaki without a smidgen of St. Patty green.

Last Saturday (3/12) after enduring a horrible flight from JFK to ATL (the homemade bloody mary was my saving grace), through my hangover induced gaze I saw P. Diddy's babymama/fianc /resident modelchick, Kim Porter having brunch with a few over accessorized BAPS/gal pals at a diner in the ATL. She looked great for before noon (hair was beautiful in ponytail, little if no makeup), but she fucked it all up with a bright neon Von Dutch Trucker Cap and those "Paris Hilton made me wear them" extra furry ass mukluks...not to mention it was like 65-70 degrees that day....what a blower, she needs to be beaten with a copy of InStyle for that one.

saw john leguizamo at the open market at union square south this morning (3/18) around 8:45a.m., wearing HUGE black sunglasses, he was carrying a super-small scooter, which i believe belonged to his son(?), an absolutely adorable boy of 3 or 4 following behind him. it took all my will power not to run up and start gushing about how fantastic i
think he is ... is he single/divorced? i'd love to get my 'freak' on.

Not that this counts, but I saw the mother half of the Gastineau Girls (sp?) outside of Dodger Stages before seeing Altar Boyz (v. funny by the way). The only reason I find this worth mentioning is that she is unbelievably scary looking. She's like my old beat up Malibu Barbie. Still smooth and plastic, yet a little frightening to look at. They were obviously filming something for her show. And she said something like "I am going to a broadway show. tee-hee" to the cameras. Then the cameras turned off and they all left. She didn't actually go in and see any of three shows that were playing there. Needless to say she was gross.

In this edition: James Truman, Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, Bill Murray, Paris Hilton, Jay-Z, Catherine Deneuve, Benecio Del Toro, John C. Reilly, Ethan and Uma, Stephen Sondheim, Kevin Kline, Liam Neeson, Philip Seymore Hoffman, Jann Wenner, Matthew Bourne, Jeff Goldblum, Kevin Bacon, Victoria Gotti, Campbell Scott, Walter Cronkite, Julianne Moore, Julia Stiles, Liev Schreiber, Joy Bauer, Albert Hammond Stroke and Julian Stroke, Chris Noth (an exception to our generally unspoken No Noth rule), Andrew McCarthy, John Turturro, Dean Cain, David Eigenberg, Randy Jackson, Julie Christie, Alanis Morissette, Steve Forbes, Adam Durtiz, Al Roker(ish), a special Toronto sighting of Mario Bello (basically, we felt really sorry for the excited soul who sent it in), and the inexplicable Bob Saget.

Last Wednesday (3/9), I was taking the 10 am AA flight from JFK to LAX. As my boyfriend and I were scrambling to take our seats in the back of the plane, who do I see sitting not three rows ahead of us but former Conde Nast wunderkind James Truman! My how the mighty have fallen. It was quite a sight to see my former boss scrunched into the coach section, afloat in a sea of track suits and store-bought flight snacks. In all fairness, though, he seemed very gracious and appeared to enjoy our in-flight entertainment of The Incredibles. Unfortunately, my overpowering need for a cigarette when we landed prevented me from figuring out his escape from the middle class reality of baggage claim.

On 3/15 at around 4:30, saw the Newlywed herself [Jessica Simpson] shopping at the Chloe boutique on Madison Avenue. There were about 7 or 8 paparazzi running to and fro trying to get a good angle. Other shoppers were kicked out so she could shop solo. She was teeny and sans extensions.

Ashlee Simpson at Marquee in Manhattan last night, being escorted from the ladies' to the VIP room by her bodyguard. A lot of gnarly black hair extensions for one little white girl!

Saw Bill Murray at En Japanese Brasserie (Hudson&Leroy) having lunch. He didn't seem to be "Lost in Translation" judging by the tons of food he and his party of 5 ordered. Thought I heard someone call him "daddy".

I had the following sighting at aproximately 6pm this Wednesday: As I was looking through a rack of jeans at Bloomingdales Downtown, thinking "these are nice but no way am I paying 300 bucks for a pair of jeans," who waltzes past me if not Paris Hilton, clad in the exact jeans I'd been eyeing. She was taller than I expected her to be and much less tan (kinda pale and pasty actually). She was exactly as painfully cracked-out skinny looking as she is on TV. She was wearing said jeans and some kind of black leather jacket, a surprisingly minimal look for her. She was also carrying a rather huge gucci bag, not a handbag, more like a bag bag. Her hair looked messed up, like she was wearing a weave and it was falling off. She was all alone, which suprised me, I assumed she never went anywhere without a minor entourage.

saw jay z at a nets bulls game tonight. He was by himself, courtside seats... he seemed pretty cool. a couple of kids stopped by to get autographs and he signed and just enjoyed the game ... he looked pretty normal.

Had one of my best celebrity sightings of my sighting career on Sunday. Saw Catherine Deneuve walk by as I was standing in line to buy tickets for the French film festival in Lincoln Center. She walked inside the Walter Reade and got herself an espresso (of course, she is French) and stood by the window smoking a cigarette (proving that not only is she French, she is also Catherine Deneuve so Bloomberg is not going to stop her from smoking anywhere she likes). Anyway, I was standing directly in front of her on the other side of the window and she caught me staring at her so she flashed me a huge big smile and waved. The person behind me in line, extremely jealous that he had not been waved at, said to me "What, do you know Catherine Deneuve? Why did she wave at you?"

Was @ Diner in ever hip Williamsburg on Sunday. Saw a tall gorgeous woman out of the corner of my eye, but I was too busy smooching my weekend conquest to notice who it was (Hilary Swank). However, I heard the girls next to me squeal with delight and got a glimpse of her recent Oscar winning backside as she was walking to her car with her minature husband Chad Lowe.

I either saw Benicio Del Toro or his twin on the F Train on Saturday 3/12 around 5:00. He got off on the 2nd Ave stop and was very tall and good looking.

SEEN: Sunday, March 6th. John C. Reilly (and a rather dapper looking comrade) attended the Red Army Chorus concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. Sitting in about the eighth row back, seemed to enjoy the Chorus's second performance ever in the United States. When asked whether he liked the show, Reilly responded unimaginatively "uh, yeah. You?" Maybe good ol' Irish Reilly has some Russian roots in there somewhere?

Saw Ethan and Uma! Together! Leaving the Greenmarket at Union Square, as the forever-enigmatic-for-tourists-streaming clock on 14th street read 13h59m28s + a bunch of flittering nanoseconds. Uma (looking svelte and natural and gorgeous, if not a little annoyed with her inattentive cohort) toting overflowing bags of homegrown produce and the like; Ethan jabbering away on his cell phone, scruffy as always, but looking slightly meatier and healthier, and at least appeared to be clean. They continued on there way up Park Avenue in silence as Ethan re-pocketed his phone and pulled his cap further over his eyes.

We saw Uma Thurman and her children at the Museum of Natural History on Saturday afternoon. The young boy looks just like Ethan Hawke [go figure]. She was what appeared to be her father and a sister [or nanny?] She is really tall and really attractive.

Saw Stephen Sondheim at the Tuesday night benefit performance of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee," which I'm sure added a little frisson of excitement to the evening for the cast. They missed a golden opportunity to call him up for the audience participation portion of the play - I bet he knows how to spell "syzygy".

at BAM's spring gala dinner last night, i stood in the coat-check line next to a white-haired, bearded, and very distinguished-looking kevin kline. he was talking to what appeared to be a publicist, who was wibbling on about how exciting it is that blue ribbon is now open on this 'cute little street' in Brooklyn (otherwise known as that major thoroughfare, 5th ave) and wouldn't shut up about how brooklyn is now like 'a little manhattan.' kevin, bless him, seemed underwhelmed, and less inclined to smack this woman upside the head than i was. also venturing into the untamed wilds of the better borough: liam neeson, one of the few movie stars who is actually as tall or taller than he looks on screen and has a truly heroic profile, a cleaned-up philip seymour hoffman, a diminuitive jann wenner, and the handsome and gracious choreographer matthew bourne, whose 'play without words' at BAM is fantastic.

I was in Barnes & Noble in Rockefeller Center on Sunday and I kept noticing this tall, gangly fellow pacing in circles and mumbling to himself. He looked familiar and it dawned on me that it was none other than THE Jeff Goldblum. He was sporting a mustache, but aside from that it was without a doubt Goldblum. Apparently he was waiting on a female companion to select some reading material and continued to grow more anxious by the minute. The best part about it was that as soon as she re-appeared he morphed right back into classic, smarmy Goldblum (i.e. "The Big Chill" or "Igby Goes Down"). I tip my cap to a master thespian.

Kevin Bacon leaving his apartment building on the Upper West Side around 9am on March 17. He was all decked out to welcome spring in his faux biker gear leather jacket with belt swinging, sunglasses, wool cap. I couldn t believe how badass he looked, but I have to say that I was impressed that a man of such wealth and stature arose at such an early hour, even though he doesn t to schlep to work like the rest of us commoners.

Seems like even Mafia Princesses have trouble finding a date in this town. I was at Lush last night for a HurryDate.com event and Victoria Gotti and her sister were also there looking for love and mugging for the cameras - I guess this had something to do with her
reality show.

Just rode in on the F Train, sat next to Campbell Scott from 4th to 47th. Him shamelessly promoting his new film with apparel reading "The Exorcism of Emily Rose." The man is looking old and grey, seems like Singles was just yesterday.

On my recent trip to NYC, this Canadian girl saw Walter Cronkite getting out of a car on Monday morning. He looked very dapper. Now since I m not familiar with your city, all I can tell you was it was on a street close to the Ralph Lauren mansion. However exciting the sighting was, it s just as fabulous to send it in to Gawker! My whole Big Apple experience is now complete.

I had an early dinner next to Julianne Moore at Piccolo Angelo in the West Village last Saturday 3/12, around 6pm. She was there with her kids, and either her mother or a Nanny, looking casual yet radiant. Dressed down in jeans, a dark green long sleeve shirt and minimal (if any) make-up, she was absolutely gorgeous in person. And so were her kids!

Julia Stiles and friends in the VIP section at the Ari Hest/Vanessa Carlton concert last night (3/16) at Irving Plaza.

Saw Liev Schrieber ducking in to some random office building next to Colony Records in Times Square. At first I thought, "Hey, that dude looks exactly like Liev Schrieber with a dumb mustache," and then lo and behold, I see current pictures of Messr. Schrieber sporting exactly the same dumb mustache! I guess he feels like he needs a mustache to truly embody Ricky Roma in "Glengarry Glenn Ross." Having just watched a soundless "Manchurian Candidate" over the shoulder of the man sitting next to me on the Acela to Boston last week, I was particularly impressed.

Saw Joy Bauer of "The View" on Sunday (3/12) looking relaxed and very Sunday-chic at the JCC on the Upper West Side prior to an Israel-inspired fashion show...She was very cordial.

I went out downtown last night, and ended up in a crowded bar. At one of the tables I spotted Albert Hammond Jr, Julian Casablancas and some other of the Strokes-family. They all looked very well-dressed and stylish, and they had all their focus at the live band, a swedish band called Southside Stalkers. The female singer was an extremely adorable blond chick, and after the show she joined the boys for some serious drinking. She and a Stroke were very, eh, friendly, and they left the place after awhile. The rest of them continued their drinking, though.

please please forgive me for writing in, but i could not resist with this particular star sighting. yesterday at the crunch on 13th street. chris noth came in looking like all hell, huge swollen stomach as if he had just swallowed a whole ham, beady, puffy eyes like he had indulged in a late-night of boozing, and what appeared to be the bottom half of a juicy sweatsuit, tan-and-brown striped low-waisted velour sweats fashionably flared out above his sneakers. he reminded me of this guy that my dad used to play tennis with in the 70s. there was nothing even remotely sexy about him... hardly the mr. big masturbatory fantasy of all our dreams. not even the waspy girls heavy-breathing their way through spin class cast a glance in his direction.

Last night (03/16) some friends and I attended a super cliche, 80s-themed, birthday skating party at the Roxy. The highlight was when someone asked a random Plain Jane to take our group shot. She looked a little skittish so my friend repeated the question and she replied, "Oh, you want me to take YOUR picture?" Which was when someone noticed her date lurking in the background was none other than 80s Icon Andrew McCarthy. Poor dear, we didn't want to take THEIR picture — but at least she wins for best accessory.

Thirsty for a cup of Frap, I went into one of the numerous Starbucks (the one near Penn Station), and lo and behold, it's John Turturro sitting with another man- possibly someone involved in the industry? I tried to eavesdrop, but all I heard was John mentioning "melodrama" and the other guy scribbling down notes. A possible project? His hand tried to cover his face, probably after he realized me jumping up and down with glee. He looks just as I imagined him to be, but I'm surprised more people didn't recognize him. Come on, Barton Fink, Jungle Fever, even Mr. Deeds !?!?

3/17, 4pm- Either I saw Dean Cain walking down Bleecker with a baby on his shoulders or some other Dean Caine-ish dude with baby shit.

I saw David Eigenberg, Steve from Sex and the City, in the D'ag on 17th Street in Chelsea. It is not the first time I saw him but this time he was with a lady friend. Lady friend was pushing the cart while Steve, uh I mean David was doing the shopping.

Last night (3/14) at 8:00 I saw Randy Jackson with two buddies sitting in the lobby of the Maritime Hotel trying to be noticed by everyone who passed by. (which on a Monday night is like 6 people/hour) He looks so much like Al Roker. Why was he there/ Doesn't he have a very important job to do? Then, when I went in to have dinner at La Bottega... Julie Christie..... I shit you not .... looking gorgeous and brunette at a large table in the middle of the restaurant. She's so amazing. I wished I had a little red plastic raincoat for her to autograph!

Tuesday night, a tiny Alanis Morissette eating a late dinner at a (mostly empty) Dos Caminos Park Avenue with two people (non-descript guy and girl). Rushed from dinner into waiting black car outside. Friday noon, Steve Forbes (does he count as a celebrity) waiting in line at the Rock Center Wendy's by himself; talk about glamorous. Saturday night, Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, still with ridiculous Sideshow Bob haircut, hanging out with a bunch of younger, clean-cut college guys at a packed lounge on Houston (called Sixes and Eights maybe? Long night).

Hey, Al Roker is my next door neighbor, so i see him everyday in his kitchen, playing on the computer or doing dishes.

was in a toronto (come on, its canada's new york!) h&m earlier this evening and saw maria bello. she was drowning in a gigantic shearling coat that looked like it belonged to her late grandfather and hence was falling off of her shoulders rather unattractively. her hair was chopped shortish, layered, and very yellow. she was very petite and wasnt wearing any makeup so her skin looked a bit verite-rough a la "the cooler." but she was still pretty cute (and fairly young mid 30s?). she was having trouble carrying all her clothing and i had to restrain myself from asking if shed provide alms for the poor or, at least, buy me a couple of shirts i had found that i couldnt afford. but she was out the door—with a last quick finger of a hideous peach gauzy skirt—before i could earnestly make my request.

Was in line behind Bob Saget yesterday at a deli on the corner 43rd and 8th. He was friendly and said excuse me when he had to get by me. He was also really, really tall...

In this remarkably packed edition: Renee Zellweger, Rosario Dawson, Aida Turturro, Toni Collette, Leonardo DiCaprio with Gisele Bundchen and Q-Tip, Mary-Kate Olsen, Carmen Electra, Kate Hudson with Chris Robinson, Meg Ryan, Monica Lewinski, Ben Stiller, Julia Stiles, Matthew Modine, Julianne Moore, Candice Bergen, Lindsay Lohan, Bono, Pat O'Brien, David Bowie, Iman, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, Julian Schnabel, Emmy Rossum, Kyle MacLachlan, Uma Thurman, Gina Gershon, Rosie O'Donnell, Paul Giamatti, Randy Jackson, Anna Wintour, Alec Baldwin, Chris Eigman, Fisher Stevens, David Cross, Chloe Sevigny, Bobby Flay, Paul Auster, Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols, Edie Falco, Christian Slater, Molly Shannon, Will Arnett, John Leguizamo, Harmony Korine, Byron Allen, Steve Buscemi, Joan Cusack, Carlos Leon, Albert Hammond Stroke, and Mario Batali.

I saw Renee Zellweger last night at around 6pm at the Borders in Columbus Circle. She was purchasing a lot of CDs and books and was dressed in baggy pants and a red/maroon baseball cap. Her hair was surprisingly auburn brown which was unexpected. Didn't she have black hair at the Oscars? She look teeny tiny in person and I can only image how "fat" she looked when she gained all that weight for Bridget Jones. And yes, her eyes are really that squinty. ha.

The corner of Third Avenue and 18th Street has been a hotbed of celebrity sightings. On Friday, March 11th, I saw Rosario Dawson bundled up and chatting on a cell phone. The next day while eating my eggs at the Sunburst Cafe on that same corner, Aida Turturro (Janice from The Sopranos) came in looking very Saturday-morning frumpy. If people noticed her, no one flinched. I guess Gramercy is just that cool.

On Friday (3/11) Toni Collette dined at Les Halles with a scruffy-but-cute male companion. As the hostess, I can attest that she was extremely gracious and didn't balk or pull the celeb card when told the wait was 30 minutes and didn't stare pointedly at me (unlike her fellow diners) when that wait turned into more like an hour.

saw Leo DiCaprio, freakishly tall and beautiful g-friend Gisele, rapper Q-Tip and a woman who was maybe Q-Tip's date at the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday the 12 taking in the Basquiat show. Crowd easily recognized them but no one approached to ask for autographs, photos, etc. Only saw one asshole pointing at them. Leo is not terribly impressive in person. Over six feet but terrible posture and not someone you would look at if he wasn't Leo DiCaprio. Q-Tip was much better looking. I see what Nicole Kidman was after there. Gisele is the usual six-foot tall, size-2 pinhead.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele with Q-Tip and ladyfriend at the Basquiat show at the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday afternoon. Everyone looked good, but this being New York, no one was paying them any attention.

I feel my life is now complete. Quintessential New Yorker who has yet to spot an Olsen twin, I walking home from work yesterday in Chelsea, 3/14, spotted a big black Suburban or some other vehicular monstrosity, and out comes this ADORABLE little big-eyed beauty. A white, French bulldog puppy, wrapped in a blanket, and who's holding it but a big-eyed homeless woman...no, wait! It was Mary Kate Olsen (definitely brunette) and a publicist looking type and of course, a bodyguard EASILY 5 times MKs size. Anyway, they were taking the little cutie to my vet. Ran home to tell my dog he goes to the doctor to the stars. I just read in Us that she has a Chocolate Lab but it was definitely a French Bulldog, all white, so maybe she's replacing her lust for...not eating... Anyway, I can die now that I've had my Olsen spotting.

Saw Carmen Electra entering the Viacom Building @ 1515 Broadway (3/14). I always thought we was kind of trashy looking (maybe due to the people she has dated/fucked/married) but in person she is one of the hottest girls I have ever seen. Does she have a sex video waiting to be stolen/hacked?

Had a triple sighting Saturday night: Kate Hudson, Chris Robinson, and one of the Strokes walking down Carmine Street near Bedford in the West Village. Kate was tiny and wearing a huge hat hiding most of her face, but Chris was easy to spot a mile away. He's really tall and skinny in person — and scruffy, as you can imagine.

Saw Meg Ryan at Mercer Kitchen yesterday (lunch, 2-3p) with a 40ish, nice looking guy. Lips still WAY overdone, typical moppet hair. She ate a burger & fries after the first 45 mins of just tea. The guy did most of the talking.

I do not know if it is me or just my coolness factor but I be seeing plenty-o celebrities during the past weekend. On Saturday night I was chillin at soho house when I turned and noticed that a large cloud had gathered, no wait, it was just Monica Lewinski. I do not know how a stain ended up on her dress, because from the looks of it nothing has fallen out of her mouth in quite some time. And in the far corner out of the corner of my eye I saw what looked like a small child with a large head, oh but wait, that was just Ben Stiller. After seeing Monica, on Sunday I woke up thinking of food. So for lunch I walked over to Bar Pitti and on my way over on Prince Street I walked past Julia Stiles, she s alright. Then on 6th Ave I walked past Matthew Modine, he has some sort of goofy hair cut and color. Looks like he tried to do a home blonde job with a bottle of peroxide. It ain t working for ya matty-boy. And inside of Bar Pitti was the babe-a-licious Julianne Moore. Oh-la-la, she got something fine going on.

Sunday, at the Armory show, Candice Bergen. She looks remarkably good — youthful and, as my girlfriend put it, "smooth."

Has anyone mentioned last night's sightings at the Coffee Shop? Lindsay Lohan with her hair dark red and skin looking mysteriously healthy and untanned? Napster publicists were bitchy though and claimed she would pose for photos if "You guys promise not to attack her."

Was innocently walking through my neighborhood this morning when what should I see but movie permit posters plastered all throughout the trees. Hmm, looks like they were going to be filming something entitled Lady Lucky. I imdb'd it and it is a Lindsay Lohan flick, how lucky for us. Walked past 7th Avenue (and the Monster) in the direction of 6th and lo and behold there was La Hohan walking out of her trailer with a flock of paparazzi and tourists (mostly Asian) waiting to zap her soul. Later on today, at around 6:30 pm, I walk by Christopher and 7th Ave and I spy La Hohan filming a scene inside the Riv (the unofficial home of Boston Red Sox fans). It's hard to miss her with her bright red hair and brown spotty skin coupled with the crowd of admirers, everyone from
horny male teens to gay queens to old geezers all hoping to catch a glimpse of ms. Hohan. Of course, I stuck around to gawk too. She didn't look cute at all, kind of looked emaciated and her red hair was kind of freaky looking.

Walking in the Meatpacking District Sunday afternoon, saw quite a few paparazzi outside Pastis waiting for someone to come out. I asked a Japanese tourist next to me who they were waiting for. She just smiled and nodded and whipped out her impossibly small digital camera. My guess is she had no clue who the celebrity actually was—Bono, from U2, who emerged from Pastis with a beautiful brunette model who dwarfed him (he's short!). He yelled "Onwards and upwards," which I took to mean he did not like his Pastis experience. He then signed a few autographs and got in the back of a car and drove away.

I was at a late lunch at Isabella's on the Upper West Side on Saturday around 3:00pm and just as we got our cocktails, my friend (who was facing the door) started freaking out - Bono had just walked into the restaurant with like 6 other people for lunch. He looked really cool and calm, though he was wearing a ridiculous looking green train conductor (?) hat... and of course the signature huge glasses. I wonder how many pairs he has??? Anyway, he seemed pretty normal - they had to sit at the bar and wait for a table big enough for like 15 minutes or something, which surprised me that they hadn't called ahead or whatever to arrange that a table would be waiting (which is what I would do if I were Bono). His wife was the only other person we could ID and she looked really beautiful, but not in a gross supermodel kind of way. I don't know who the others were, but just seemed like friendly normal looking people.

So this afternoon my honey and I went to go see "Ashes and Snow" on the pier, but the line was just too ridiculously long so we decided to stroll around the west village instead. As we strolled along, as we got to the corner opposite Pastis, we saw a smallish group of paparazzi so we stopped for a minute to gawk. There were the obigatory 3+ black SUVs, and out from Pastis strolls.... Pat O'Brien, from "Access Hollywood" fame. He was pretty nice and stopped for some photos, then went on his way. The best part was that right afterwards, a pararazzo came up to our corner and said to no one in particular, "what a waste. I'm never gonna be able to sell that shot." That was funny but I did feel bad for Pat. I'm sure he has a fan club somewhere.

I have to admit that last night as I was at dinner with a friend the last thing I expected was a celeb sighting. We were at Le Zinc and as a tall sexy woman left the bathroom I thought to myself "she looks distinctly like Iman". As she sat down at a long table I noticed it was David Bowie to her left in a whacky striped shirt. Finally the sighting lotto hit at a restaurant - I mean sorry but the young ones on tv and crappy disney movies are really not that exciting they are more like car accidents. Of course being a large table I started looking around, and from left to right the seating chart was: Salman Rushdie, David Bowie, Iman, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson and Julian Schnabel. It was Lou Reed's birthday party - sort of surreal hearing David Bowie singing happy birthday to Lou Reed (along with the rest). There may have been others but that was my limit. Iman is hot and Salman looked drunk (maybe it was the sans beard/moustache) and David is a stud.

I saw David Bowie in Shakespheare & Co on Bway a few days ago. He was dressed all in black denim and a black baseball cap. The cashier told me he bought Zagat 2005 Downtown NYC and In the Rose Garden of the Martyrs: A Memoir of Iran. I was a little surprised that one of the biggest Rock stars in history needed the Zagats to tell him what's cool downtown, but I guess no one can stay with it forever.

I saw Emmy Rossum sneaking out of The Ring 2 screening last night (3/14) at the Beekman theatre. It looked like she scurried out of there so no one would hound her for autographs or pictures....too bad no one seemed interested in meeting her curly locks.

My friends and I were an opening for Amir Zaki at Perry Rubenstein Gallery in Chelsea when in walked Kyle MacLachlan. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, jeans, and a scarf he looked very handsome. He walked in and greeted a friend (gallery owner?) and was introduced to the artist. He said he had been "next door", which, when we left, appeared to be the "Visual AIDS" benefit. He chatted for a little while, then got a personal tour of the show by Zaki.

Just wanted to tell you about seeing Uma Thurman and her man at Lure fishbar last night. She looked amazing sans makeup, statuesque, in jeans, pink button down shirt, gray v-neck sweater and hair in loose ponytail. One of few actresses I can say looked better in person than onscreen. Her man was short, I didn't check him out too closely. They walked to the back at first (private table?) but wound up near main area. People checked them out as they initially walked by but even though she faced the main thoroughfare the "public" definitely respected her privacy. This definitely trumps the crappy Lindsay Lohan sighting from last week. ;)

On Saturday (3/12), saw Gina Gershon at the Diane Arbus exhibit at the Met. Looks like she took the "homeless chic" NY Times article from last week's style section a bit too seriously— she looked like an older version of MK, in baggy clothes, messy pigtails, and topped off with a black leather newsboy hat. She was with a female companion who looked neither homeless nor chic.

I saw Rosie O'Donnell on the USAir shuttle to Boston on Saturday- first row of first class with her feet up on the bulkhead wall. She was reading People magazine and chatting away with one of the flight attendants during the flight. She looked as you'd expect her to, but seemed friendly when we were all filing to our seats (made eye contact, etc.)

I saw Paul Giamatti and family on Saturday ( 3/12) at the BAM kids' film festival. At first he looked pretty somber and pensive, but he laughed in all the appropriate places, so I guess that's just how he looks.

I was eating brunch at Pastis on Saturday when a couple was seated right next to me. I was momentarily excited because I thought it was Drew Barrymore, but then quite disappointed when I realized I was wrong — though the woman did bear a striking resemblance. As luck would have it, however, I had Stalker resolution when I got up to leave and saw Randy Jackson in a great stripped blue shirt and jeans eating brunch with a group of similarly attired and bespectacled men. He was smaller than I expected, but I guess he has lost a lot of weight.

My friend was waiting in line at the Angelika to buy movie tickets on Saturday night with a friend. Apparently his friend moved from where she had been standing and, not paying attention, my friend leaned up against this other woman and started singing some song the two of them had been talking about earlier. The woman turns around and my friend, shocked, says, "you're not Emily....You're ANNA WINTOUR!" And it was. He said she was very gracious about the mistake and impromptu concert and was stylishly dressed in jeans and a white fur coat. He also said that she was, shocker, "tiny". I asked if anyone was with her because with all the recent pie-throwing and whatnot I thought she always had security with her, but he said she was all by herself.

Spotted Alec "The Bloviator" Baldwin (looking more and more like brother Daniel) playing tonsil hockey with a cute, young Asian girl at Pastis Sunday morning. Who the hell makes out at brunch anyway?

Saturday night, at Floyd's on Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn, Chris Eigman. He looked and behaved exactly like every character he's ever played in a Whit Stillman or Noah Baumbach film. I half expected him to be doing a crossword.

Saturday, March 12 at noon. Fisher Stevens of Greene Street Films having brunch at August with two friends.

i was at max fish listening to a friend tell a story about every hipster's favorite actor/comedian/columnist/whatever, david cross, when all of a sudden we realized he was standing right behind her. he cut a long line for the bathroom, spent about 10 minutes in there, and then awkwardly avoided making eye contact with at least five guys in blazers with messy hair as he made his way out the door. i hate max fish.

Thursday, 3/10 around 6pm saw Chloe Sevigny getting into a cab, headed uptown on 16th and 3rd. Garbed entirely in black, she looked very tall and rather drawn, with long blond hair hanging limply down around her face. After getting into the cab, she stared blankly out the window, sporting an irritating hipster-pout.

Shared a subway car on Saturday afternoon (3/12) with Bobby Flay — love to see the famous people right in there with us commoners. He got on at the 66th St. stop on a downtown 1 train — looked a little older than he does on TV, but well dressed in a navy peacoat and jeans. When a gigantic black man next to him asked, "Hey, are you — " Bobby interrupted him with "Yeah. What's up, man."

Park Slope. On my way to D'Agostino's to buy a box of donuts and break my diet, I see Paul Auster, looking like a sexy, literary badass. Black hair, black jeans, black, mirrored sunglasses, black poufy coat. I bought a bag of tangerines instead and went home to starve some more and work on my novel. Sticking with original plan to become famous and steal him away from his wife.

Saw several B-listers at the matinee performance of Spamalot on 3/12. Diane Sawyer and Mike Nichols cut in front of my friend and Ime in line as we waited to enter the theater. I wonder if she gets a discount on the MP coconuts since he is the director? She seemed low key and nice (very jcrew outfit). Once inside, saw Edie Falco with her clan. She had HORRIBLE hair extensions and was explaining them to her children? nieces? She seemed down to earth, but it's hard to take someone seriously when they look like they have scarecrow hair.

Saw Christian Slater leaving the Milk Studios building on 15th today. Despite his age (I think he is only 30) and his receding, widow-peaked hairline, he looked fab. However, the reaction I received from friends when I told them I saw him AND I thought he looked good was, "Ewwww, you like him AND you think he looks good?" YES, PEOPLE! I love him and he looks GREAT! Childhood crushes never fade.

Last weekend while walking to Whole Food with the boy, I saw Molly Shannon in Chelsea, outside of Hold Everything. She was pushing a baby carriage and her big pregnant belly was peeking out of her coat. She was talking on her cell phone at the time, and consequently she was almost run over by a car because she wasn't paying attention. I love her, though. She also has the cutest red-headed baby girl ever. Molly, BFF.

I saw Will Arnett sans Amy Poheler at the Equinox at Brodway and 20th. He was looking rather depressed, probably due to the fact that his show is about to be
cancelled.

Saw john leguizamo last week walking around gramercy park. And then saw him today by union square w/his cutie cute little daughter. She was very happy about something and he was very serious parent looking rushed but cute! And he is short like all the rest of them.

Saw Harmony Korine walking by Tekserve (the Apple fix-it shop on 23rd St) wearing a hooded poncho that looked like to be woven from a combination of macrame and an old burlap potato sack. I predict that's gonna be a huge look this spring.

The other night as I was waiting to use the men's room at Elaine's, who should come out but Byron Allen, that weird bald guy who hosts that crappo celebrity interview show. He was picking his nose then blew a big booger into his hand. I wanted to keep staring but looked away outta fear he'd want me to shake his hand. I've seen lots of disgusting stuff happen in NYC before but that is the worst. What a loser.

Jumping on the F train back to Brooklyn the other night around West 4th Street was Steve Buscemi. He had a tall cup of Starbucks something-achino and was reading a script under the eyeglasses/baseball hat disguise. I've seen him a couple of times before. It's fun to notice just how few people recognize him. He
deserves much better.

Saw Joan Cusack at the matinee of Spamalot yesterday (Wednesday) looking cheery and anonymous.

Carlos Leon, on the downtown R train from Times Square to 8th Street/ Broadway. Looking extremely paranoid and uptight, in a cute jean ensemble and a leather wrist cuff. Madonna's baby daddy thinks he's much more famous than he is.

Last night (Wednesday, March 9) I saw Albert Hammond from the Strokes at Niagara's "TV CASUALTY" night. He came in real late, with a group of other hipsters, and was still there when I left around 4:00.

I'm excited. Mario Batali, 3/12/05, around 5:00 PM, at the corner of 4th and 11th in the West Village leaning against an iron fence, chatting intently on his cell phone. He was wearing BRIGHT orange sandals, gray shorts (it was nice out, but not nice enough for shorts), khaki safari vest and pink T-shirt. His hair was in his usual ponytail. He was good at ignoring the stares and shouts of "Mario, Mario" as people passed him on the street.
