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

[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
