The UWS is lousy with celebs and "celebs" already, so I don't think it'll matter. They live around Central Park West, away from the riff-raff (us) and send "the help" out for the Pampers. Angie and Brad might make a few photo-ops trips to Gray's and there might be the odd sighting here and there, but don't expect to see them holding up the line at the local Starbucks every day.
Also, skip Zabar's bagels and go next door to H&H. Yeah, they're overrated, but often the bagels are still warm from the oven and that is just heaven.
@VoxPopuli: True I never get a bagel at Zabar's. Always H&H and I don't think they're overrated but sometimes they're not worth the homeless guy that holds the door for you and wants to be paid for that.
Even though the Apthorp is going under condo conversion (rather than a coop), with a ppsf like $1,500, you can guarantee they require some sort of board approval over purchasers. And if they do, you can pretty much assure that no one on that board will be approving a paparazzi magnet like Pitt-Jolie.
I reckon the item is an agent plant. They've been having trouble selling those units for a year and this rumor is a last ditch attempt for raising the profile.
The UWS used to be a relatively quiet and staid NYC neighborhood. Now we're lousy with Law and Order shoots, big red tourist buses and assorted celebrity riff raff.
Our quota has been reached. Sorry Brad and Angie.
I hear the UES is looking for a new kind of crazy since Bernie was carted off to the big house. Try over there. You'll love it. Trust me on this.
@BxgrlJeri: They could always try the upper UWS, in Washington Heights. Big-ass apartments, relatively low rents, and hey, you can still see the Hudson unobstructed from some buildings!
The quasi-Beatles reunion is actually very old news. The recording sessions were bootlegged in '92 as A Toot and a Snore in '74. Of course, you can hear it on YouTube--but unless you're an even bigger Beatles fan than I am, you really wouldn't want to.
@Dickdogfood: I've heard most of those sessions, they're awful. Well maybe someone wants to hear Lennon complaining. Did he know the lyrics to any of those songs?
@jasonelias: However, the more recently surfaced tape of Lennon jamming on slide dobro with Phil Ochs is fun to listen to.
I don't see why Paul is made the heavy here, he passed along a message from Yoko that she wanted to see John, that sounds like the thing for a friend to do.
@Phyllis Nefler: I love the UWS. I moved to New York trying to live through this Nora Ephron-like fantasy where people actually went to Katz's and faked orgasms. That was four years ago. How close do you think I got?
@Phyllis Nefler: LES and Brooklyn much better for orgasm than UWS. Have you seen the mothers in Riverside Park? It's the location for the daily meeting of the "I have a stick up my arse" club. They wouldn't know orgasm if it ran up and smacked them with a Mr. Softee sundae.
yes, there is an over/under on the MJ stuff. It will last until Patrick Swayze and/or Steve jobs dies, and the tox report is in on Jacko. Then we have to go back to hearing about Anna Nicole Smith.
@NinaHagen: Goddamn right, they do. ALSO, GODDAMNIT, HAGEN. I wanted to keep you around because you're funny but you've riffed on my despoitic nature way too much for me to care, anymore. Bring something else to the table, I'll be looking for you. In the meantime, NinaHagen is no more.
Oh God, can you imagine trying to survive a trip to Duane Reade only to find Brad & Angie in there picking up Pampers? I'm getting the sweats just thinking about it.

Okay, this made me laugh...HARD...and then I remembered we were talking about Shirley Jones and I shrieked, "Don't do it, girl!"

Since when does Gray's have two kinds of hot dogs?

Nah, she apparently lets them scarf down junk food:

As I said below, their pantry is perfect for a wake and bake kind of crew.
