[At this point, we've moved to the car, where Gracie jumps on my lap and starts aggressively gnawing my hair. It's awkward.]

EW: Oh, ouch. I guess she likes my ponytail.

Posey: Oh, is she playing hair salon? She plays hair salon. So cute. [Leans over to the dog and dons a sweet, coddling voice] ''Yeah, you playin' hair salon, Gracie? Come on, littles!'' Doesn't that feel amazing? Oh, look at her little tail right there. She's so soft, too! Do you have a camera on you?

EW: No, I lost my cell phone recently that had a camera. [The dog is still chewing on my hair]

Posey: You did? It's happening a lot now. Like I said, I lost my phone seven times in the past two months. I just think, We don't want all this stuff anymore. We don't want computers and cell phones. It's so addictive and it's just like eeeeeechhhh.

"Hello Gracie, you're a good little girl
It's a beautiful world, knowing you're out in it
Last time I saw you playing in the yard
You were running with children and the old people were smiling

Do you miss me would you know me at all?
If you walked by my house would you smile and turn the corner
I'll blow you kisses, only make you feel worse
You know you've gotta make the best of the time god has given you

I scratch your name into a wall on the beach with my keys into the side of the pier
I used to sleep so I would dream I was lying with you midsummer
In the grass, in the fields

Nobody was right, nobody was wrong
But somebody had to go
Nobody appears so nobody is gone
Hello, goodbye, hello
Hello, hello, hello
Oh

I scratch your name in my arm with my keys on the beach on the side of the pier
I keep your picture in a frame on the wall of my place down the block
far enough away, it's like I'm not here

You're in my heart and you're in my soul
So I have to let you go
You're in my heart and you're in my soul
But I gotta let you go
Hello, hello, hello, hello
I gotta let you go
Hello, hello, hello
I gotta let you go
I gotta let you go
Goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna let you go
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
I'm gonna let you go
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
Hello, hello"

Update! "I'm working on a film that shoots on the same stage as the ill fated Jezebel James. The studio had to do some MAJOR carpet cleaning in Ms. Posey's old dressing room before Denzel moved into because that dog peed on every inch of it. Apparently, that's the number one thing people around here recall about her."

A video of Gracie, starring musician (and Posey ex) Ryan Adams! (And Phil Lesh from the Grateful Dead, weirdly.)

"Her brother kicked my dog. No, that is not a euphemism. He actually kicked my dog and was ejected from my apartment. The Poseys should be banned from animal ownership."
-Shutupitsmine

"That dog tried to flee Posey's clutches a handful of years back. I was at the Union Square dog run with my dog and Parker was there with Gracie (who I thought was called 'Crazy' because of Parker's high pitched and drawn out yell) was all up on my lap. Parker kept saying "Oh, Gracie wants a new mommy!" I wish my dog had peed on her."
-KitWisdom

"I've had a nearly identical experience with that dog, only I was the salesperson. Listen, the lady is charming, her dog is nuts, and Gawker is devil-ish. PPose!"
-Videogoddess

"That pissy little dog once snarled and tried to bite my five year old in the garden of the Chateau Marmont, simply because she wanted to give it a pet. Parker said, not apolegetically to my teary kid, "My dog isn't so friendly." And we say owners are like their dogs...."
-Swordfish

"Her dog (Gracie, right?) peed on my bag at Chateau Marmont last spring. Then, the dog ran all over the property and into the driveway. She sat in the middle grassy area of the garden yelling "Graaaaaaaaacie" at the top of her lungs, but never got up off her ass to find the fucking rat herself. The valet attendant finally brought it back. She never thanked him and she never apologized about my bag. The hotel felt so bad about it, they offered to have it professionally cleaned... which I took them up on."

• Kate Hudson is, once again, riding the Butterscotch Stallion. She and fellow actor Owen Wilson had a weird double-date in Miami with Jennifer Aniston and Eric Dane the night after Hudson spent time with Wilson at a 10-bedroom mansion, having been spotted on the way in by crafty paparazzi. Their friends are totally against it.
• Actress Bai Ling said her arrest for shoplifting $16 in batteries and celebrity magazines was a big misunderstanding. Which actually makes sense, given the state of martial law under which most airports seem to operate, and given that no celebrity magazine (Star included) is remotely worth trying to shoplift. [P6]

Heavy black eye makeup, black hat and walking casually with someone. I know, everyone sees her, her and Moby in NoLita. I think I've seen them like five times! Maybe next time i will say hi.....i bet they are craving a friendly "hello neighbor!" :)

Indie Actress Parker Posey [NYM]
Related: Parker Posey's Acts Of Dog-Related Altruism

On Tuesday afternoon, actress Parker Posey came to the rescue of a woman whose daughter had taken ill and passed out on the 100 block of Thompson Street. As an ambulance arrived and NYPD were tending to the young girl at the scene, Posey dog sat for the woman as she accompanied her daughter to the hospital. Seems that this well-known actress has a soft spot for New Yorkers in need.

"So where are the It Girls of 2007? They are surely out there. But in our obsessive need to unpack mystery rather than enjoy it, our poring over Gawker Stalker, Defamer and US Weekly, as we stalk our hometown famous with our camera phones and chronicle their every sip of latte, we've stripped our It Girls of their It-ness." Eeek! Our bad.

But maybe there's still some vestige of "It" out there. Hey, look, there she is, hovering over this very article like a benevolent ghost, in an advertisement for the New York Times! Help us, Scarlett! You're our only hope! —Emily

Meet The Wuz Girls [NYO]

Parker Posey is good. She s been called a latter-day Katherine Hepburn and may be one of the best actresses of her generation. She s beautiful, wry and adequately aloof.

That's from the December 4, 2002 edition of the Stanford Daily. The oh-so-complimentary author? One Jessica Joffe, known now for her work at the New York Observer and, of course, for stealing Parker's man.

You can almost see the wheels turning in young Joffe's head. Oh, Parker Posey is good. But Jessica Joffe, like Ryan Adams, is bad.

Posey remains talented and obscure [Stanford Daily]

It's a few days old but, courtesy of the other hemisphere, an Australian paper reports that Parker Posey, who's currently in Australia filming Superman Returns, had been renting a luxury apartment (which she apparently trashed) "with her partner, Jason Rail, a make-up artist and hairstylist."

Well, shit. Do be cautious on Avenue A, where we suspect Adams will be a bit more violently drunk than usual.
