· We decided to hit up the celebrity career lost and found (a.k.a Koi) on Saturday night for some food and beverage enjoyment. Apparently we were very wrong in assuming that Thursday nights were the media whore networking party at Koi. From the moment we walked in, incredible material flowed freely, like silicone into many restaurant patron's upper bodies. Standing at the bar, waiting for our table, we happened to end up next to las vegas' Vanessa Marcil, chatting it up with dinner mate and ex-Clooney bed buddy Krista Allen. I have to say, we have a major MK/Lohan circa 05 issue on our hands with that V.Marcil. Girlfriend looks sickly. I mean, her arms were the size of swizzle sticks. Overheard from V.Marcil to Krista Allen: "Did you get a gay vibe from him, because I totally did!"... A few moments later, who walks in to meet friends but the O.C.'s own Kelly Rowan (aka Mrs. Sandy Cohen). Finally seated, we walked through the bamboo room where I thought they were going to seat us in a big booth, but not so much because it was being held for someone more important. As we began to enjoy our seared tuna I found out exactly who that was. In walk Nicolette Sheridan (in ALL white mind you), Michael Bolton (with LOTS of chest hair hanging out of a half buttoned shirt) and Nicolette's Main Gay, (her hairstylist) They barely touched their creamy rock shrimp tempura and Michael was talking on his razor phone during dinner. As we were making our exit from the Venus fly trap of second rate stars, we noticed Nicollette and main gay having a smoke near the front door (away from the paparrazi's view). We overheard her say "I can't go out right now" and then the main gay began to primp her for her grand exit. ! We grew bored of watching her primp and decided to go ahead and leave . While waiting in the valet line, Vanessa Marcil and Krista Allen stood waiting for the paparrazi to take their photos....they did not. In fact, I don't think they knew who the two women were. I'm sure it was a valet that tipped the shutterbugs off to who these b-listers were because they walked over and took a few shots of the already posing Marcil and Allen. It was pretty sad.. Clooney would not be happy.

· Dining (separately) at Koi on Monday, January 9: George Lucas, Jon Bon Jovi, Sean Hayes

· All of network TV would end... Along with some movies... If a bomb hit the northeast corner of Giorgio Baldi (1/8). Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, spouses and friends in the corner 8-topper. Next to his table Jerry Bruckheimer with the Mrs. Lots of laughing at the Howard-Grazer table. Few words and fewer smiles at Jerry's table.

· Had dinner at Westside power eatery Vincenti last night (1/11) and saw (in no particular order): Candace Cameron Bure and hockey player hubby Valeri Bure. Little Candy is amazingly beautiful - much more so than she appears on television. Until, that is, her nose and cheeks flush from the booze. Seriously, after wrecking the car with the kiddies in back, you'd think she'd lay off. [Ed.note—As several readers have pointed out, the writer probably has Candace Cameron mixed up with former Growing Pains star Tracey Gold.] Brian Grazer power-dining with Bob Iger and two unidentified fellows; Bernie Brillstein; Scott Harris (one of the head honchos at Innovative Artists); Mo Ostin; and probably a lot of other power-types I didn't recognize.

· Dunno if celeb sightings in cars count anymore, but just in case — I drove next to Vince Vaughn this late morning (01/09) heading west on Franklin near Beachwood while having an early smoke. He must've hopped on the 101 b/c I didn't see him after Argyle. He rolls in a late model, purple metallic Trans Am convertible (with top up at time of said sighting). Choice of a new Muscle Car is at least a little surprising and not totally cliche, even if that is one *ugly* ass set of wheels.

· This morning 9:15am, spotted Kevin Spacey (Mr. Bobby Darin, or the soon to be “Lex Luthor” in the upcoming “Superman Returns”) at Starbucks on Sunset & Gower. Co-workers say he does a lot of work here on the Sunset Gower Studio lot. He was wearing an awful scrub outfit: bright orange fleece, sweatpants, dark sunglasses, cap, and Nike shoes. Didn’t catch what he ordered. Nobody recognized him.

· I saw Kevin Bacon at The Palm last night. That guy is fucking cool.

· There was a cornucopia of celebs at The Strokes show at the Troubadour (1/6) & some even came in pairs. Keanu Reeves arrived with Claire Forlani, Kirsten Dunst & Jason Schwartman came together, also in attendance was John Taylor of Duran Duran, Eva Mendes, Mike D. of Beastie Boys, Drew Barrymore (of course), and the most random was DJ AM leaving solo. The most disturbing yet entertaining pairing was Eva Mendes sitting on Har Mar Superstar's (you need to search him if you don't know who he is to get a full appreciation of this) lap at the end of the night.

· Saw Keanu Reeves today (1/10) at the Griddle. He was by himself at the counter, reading a newspaper and waiting for his to-go order. I don't think anyone else in the restaurant even knew he was sitting there. Say what you will about him - he sure is easy on the eyeballs!

· Saturday evening, Carl Berg Gallery on Wilshire, for Dan McLeary opening, a sort of gnomish person arrives - hey, isn't that Jack Black? and who's the chick?

· This past Saturday night the husband and I went out for some low-key gallery hopping on Wilshire Boulevard. Our first stop was at Roberts & Tilton for the show of cool new paintings by skateboard legend Ed Templeton. In addition to Ed and his adorable wife/muse Deanna, the milling throng (getting in and out the place was like running a gantlet!) included “Thumbsucker” Mike Mills in tow with fellow director/girlfriend Miranda July (who was in real life way more glamorous and self-assured than her persona in “Me and You and Everyone We Know”), Jason Bateman, and Natasha Gregson Wagner. We then walked down the street to the Patti Oleon opening at Carl Berg only to spy khaki baseball-cap wearing Buck Henry chatting up a beatific Frances Conroy, who looked like she had stepped out of the Haight circa 1967… But best of all was seeing Jack Black there too - I hope some of these celebs were buying!

· I was taking my dog on his regular morning run in Larchmont Village on Jan. 5 and as we passed the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on Larchmont about 7:15 a couple of dogs, a Pugle and a German Shephard, in a Mercedes parked out front started barking at us. I peeked into the car and who should be sitting in the driver's side seat but none other than he of the dreamy eyes himself—Jake Gyllenhaal! We smiled and waved to each other. I started fantasizing some bareback mountain horseplay with him, but that wouldn't have been politically correct in this day and age. So I contented myself with images of him staring longingly after me with those luscious blue orbs as my dog and I continued on our run, wailing "God, I wish I knew how to quit you!" as I disappeared down the street and out of his life

· So, its the beginning of the year and I've made a commitment to actually USE my gym membership to EQUINOX on Sunset...and it seems like so did the celebs. Here's who I saw in a 3 day period (mon, jan 2, tues, jan 3 and weds, jan 4)...
*Donald Faison - with a very skinny, young, pretty white girl. He was putting his arm around her;
*Jodie Foster - with very short hair, running into the pilates studio;
*Pauly Shore - on a lifecycle, resurrecting his career, maybe?;
*Dyan Cannon - on an elyptical machine...with SUNGLASSES ON while TALKING ON A CELL PHONE...in front of a sign that says "cell phone free zone." I only saw her from the side, but I can tell you she looked like an old, plastic fish...it was really sad.
*BACKSTREET BOY GUY - The one that has black hair and a goatee - forgot his name, but he was wearing sweatpants with long shorts over them. HE LOOKED SO LAME!;
*Aaron Eckhart - I see him everytime I go - always lifting. Saw him this time post-gym, in the parking lot next to his porsche, talking to a tall blondish brown hair girl.

· Yeah, yeah, Robertson — throw a rock, hit a celebrity. But today (1/12) we saw CATHERINE DEfuckingNEUVE at The Newsroom! Ooh la la Catherine Deneuve. seriously. Why not The Ivy? I mean, when you have been that famous, for that long, I just don't picture you heading over for the gado gado salad or funny juice of the day. But yes, there she was. Looking like your kinda crazy (but extremely glamooor) aunt, and she was smoking frenchily. I love her.

· Walking through Disneyland the day after Christmas with a friend. We'd just passed by the Jungle Cruise when my friend pointed out an older guy trying to hide his face in the nook of his female companion's neck. "Hey, that's Alec Baldwin. Why is he trying to hide his face?" said my friend. "Because he's Alec Baldwin," I replied. I should point out that there were no large groups congregating around him, no paparazzi snapping shots from the Swiss Family Robinson tree house, no scene of which to speak. Just Alec, his fat neck, some lady, and a Disney courtesy escort standing in one spot... doing nothing.

· drew barrymore—-rite aid on fairfax/sunset. barely recognizable...seemed annoyed that i kept looking her way. i hate being stared at too, but i'm not a celebrity. anyway i was only trying to figure out if that was her or not. sorry drew!

· Drew Barrymore was at MJ's in Silverlake last night (Tuesday) for "Rim Job" A truly dirty and insanely fun night. She looked gorgeous (as usual) and was with a tall curly blond haired guy.

· Arianna Huffington with Tom Heyden (big hugs, left wing buddy) at the Santa Monica Laemmle theater last night

· Saw Debra Messing at the Grove movie theater monday night 1/2...walked in and back out of the theater showing Matchpoint when she saw how crowded it was. She honestly looked like hell- ratty, over-processed hair, sweatpants, etc and I was THRILLED to see that she still hasn't gotten to her pre-baby skeletor weight yet...Grace's got some junk in the trunk, I tell you...Celebs- they're just like Us!

· Saw Drea de Matteo and her shaggy boyfriend Shooter Jennings at Metal Skool this past Monday....she is gorgeous and tiny. He however, is another story. To use my boyfriends words, "what is a hot woman like that doing with such a tool?" Good question indeed. The lead singer of Metal Skool gave her a shout out in the middle of the show and said, "hey didn't you guys break up or something? Are you back together?" Shooter held up two crossed fingers and yelled 'WE'RE LIKE THIS!!!' Well, I would certainly hope he wouldn't be dumb enough to let her go.....

· saturday night, 1/8/06, silver lake, dusty's: giovanni ribisi, looking knoxvillesque with a fu manchu and motorcycle-type leather jacket; joey lauren adams looking beautiful and not actress-skinny; and taryn manning looking thrift store hip (though more thift store than hip). p.s. maybe i've got brokeback fever but ms. adams' date was hot...must've been the beard.

· Was in Malibu on Sunday (1/8) Came across a flock of paparazzi (or is a gaggle of paparazzi)? Anyway, decided to follow them to see who their chosen prey was. Turned out to be Mischa Barton and a girlfriend clothes shopping. Nothing exciting about that. Mischa Barton is pretty in person but not really "all that." Some guy walking by asked one of the photogs who they were waiting for....as he passed me I hear him repeat into his cell phone "Michelle Barton - I have no idea who she is either" - so much for being an A-list TV star! Meanwhile, ten minutes later former Wings star Steven Weber has decided to change his toddler's diaper on the grass right by where folks are sat at tables and eating food! Charming!

· On my return flight from Dallas to LA this Sunday, I had my first Olsen twin sighting. Although I cannot confirm with complete accuracy as to which one it was, the brown-ish hair makes me lean more towards Mary Kate. Either way, she looked like a surreal, cartoon version of herself: tiny and waifish with oversized sunglasses and a bag five-times her size. It appeared as though she had not brushed her hair in two weeks (I understand traveling can be rough, but when you are a megamillionaire, you can at least pay someone to brush your hair). She also appears to have a "sweet tooth" as I noticed her seating area was littered with candy and gum wrappers. She seemed pretty normal for a trendy, child-star celebrity, though. She didn't freak out when she had to wait with the other passengers before being escorted to her seat, which was kind of disappointing as I like a good celebrity freak out — but I guess I'd have to be on the San Antonio to LA flight for that.

· I saw tan, tiny Ashley Olsen in a strapless thing this past weekend (eating!) at Malibu's Paradise Cove. Ok, I know she isn't the big-head alien baby with the time-share on the Island of Bulimios, but it was still entertaining. She was with some collectively ugly and lame guy-girl couple. Scandalously borrring.

· Privacywatch - saw Entourage's Kevin Connolly coming out of Blockbuster Video on La Cienega with unknown female companion. Roughly 8pm on Wednesday, Jan 11th.

· Just saw The Fonz himself, Henry Winkler walking around the Paramount lot. Even though he's starting to show his age (wrinkled face, a little puffy), I've gotta say: The guy still has it.

· 1/9/06: Saw Scott "Bob Loblaw" Baio dining one table over from us with annoying trucker-hatted guy friend at Sushi Nozawa in Studio City. Scott/Loblaw was dressed like a college kid - track pants, longsleeved Volcom t-shirt, Volcom hat (on backward), but looked good nonetheless. He was silent the whole time, as annoying trucker-hatted friend just. would. not. shut. up. about his goddamned African safari he had, apparently, just come back from. Baio/Loblaw could barely feign interest but offered polite "mmm hmm"s and "wow"s where appropriate. I wanted to ask him about Bob Loblaw's Law Blog, or the recent headline "Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb," but couldn't get over my disdain for annoying trucker-hatted friend, or get a word in edgewise. At least they have good taste in sushi.

· Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men, Pretty in Pink) working out with his personal trainer at the Palazzo apartment's health club. He was sporting some serious face scruff and wearing his usual black biker shorts with white socks hiked up. He is super skinny. This is the third time in two weeks that he has jumped on the treadmill next to me. I love LA!

· Saturday night 1.8, at the Falcon on Sunset and Poinsettia, just trying to enjoy some time with friends I haven't seen for a while, when in walks a long (thinning) haired man in black, entourage in tow (4 guys all in black and proud to be with the 5 or so very "classy" women). Whispers of Aiden move through the crowd and there he is, in all his Northern Exposure glory, John Corbett. As I tried to walk pass (as the mob of his hopped up friends and skanky girls crowded him while he danced like an idiot in the corner, where there was no dance floor or dancing music), I was stopped and interrogated by sleazy entourage member #1. "I know why you want to come over here," he says. "Really? Do you? Because I have a table of friends behind you and your obnoxious display and total disregard for anyone else at the bar has made it impossible, thus impassible for me to get to them. Now kindly let me through." Ok, I didn't really say all of the last part... it was more like, "I care you're with Aiden, asshole. Move" Ahhh, and we decided on the Falcon to skip the Brett Boathouse night at Privilege... guess Aiden couldn't get in either.

· Saw Andy Samberg, the other Lonely Island dudes, and two other guys lunching at Poquito Mas—otherwise known the biggest parking space clusterfuck in Studio City. I wanted to scream Simmered Chicken Tostada plus guacamole equals crazy delicious, but I did not.

· On Jan. 2, around 11 pm, saw Chris Klein, the "alpha heterosexual" at LAX baggage claim, by himself, wearing a low cap, gave a girl and guy (with poseur punk rock dye job) hugs.

· (1/4) Strolling down Wilshire and 3rd in Santa Monica, past the Banana Republic when a tall grey haired man in a Kangol baseball hat and overly large unfashionable sunglasses gives the unmistakable seemingly nonchalant eye contact which begs you to notice them. I did. It was John Larroquette.

· So, a couple of random sightings this weekend. On Saturday the 8th, I went to Barneys and saw the outrageously gross Pat O'Brien. His skin is so red that he SERIOUSLY looks like he just had a chemical peel or some sort of procedure. After I walked past him in disgust, whom did I spy but Sharon and Kelly Osbourne. Both wearing less makeup than I would have figured, and both were totally adorable. Sharon was trying on shoes and Kelly was milling around seemingly aimlessly. Kelly's much smaller than I thought she'd be! Then on Sunday the 9th, saw Selma Blair and Ahmet Zappa at Urth Caffe on Melrose. They must be regulars, b/c he was super friendly with the cashier. It was actually totally endearing. Still not over the scariness of O'Brien's skin, though. Yikes.

· Saw Insider host/dirty voicemailer Pat O'Brien taking in a Sunday evening showing of Munich at the Los Feliz 3. He just sat there watching the movie, but you just know he wanted to get on the phone, score some of the good stuff, and go fucking crazy. I wanted to shout "Hey, Pat! The thought of you getting high and having sex with 25 year old girls has put me off sexual intercourse forever! Really!" but I thought better of it and remained silent.

· Saturday, saw none other than ALI MCGRAW at Yoga Works on Montana in Santa Monica. Homegirl looks her age, which is refreshing. No botox or face lifts here, just good old fashioned yoga. I'm really impressed when an actress lets herself age naturally. You go Ali! Next time I see you at yoga Ali, I'm totally buying you a wheat grass shot across the street at at Wild Oats - on me!!

· I was at the fairly empty bar in Burbank Airport waiting for my flight to Vegas on Friday (1/6), when I saw two "rocker looking" guys walk in. I could not place either one of them, but soon they were joined by the easily recognizable Tommy Lee! The three sat and snacked at a little table (Tommy was drinking, what looked to be, a regular iced tea) and as the bar filled up, everybody spotted him (many camera pics were taken) but nobody actually went up to them. I left to get on my flight and about 1 minute after sitting down the three rockers swooped down the aisle and sat down in the row across from me. (This time, Tommy was wearing dark sunglasses which only drew more attention to him since it was pitch dark outside.) I chatted with one of Tommy's buddies, (who I never did recognize, though maybe I should have). He said they were on their way to the consumer electronics show in Vegas because they were all "gadget geeks". Other than that, they were pretty quiet and kept to themselves on the flight. When we landed, they bolted off with a buddy of theirs who met them at the gate. There ya go!

· Never having a celeb sighting experience worth writing about - for me - this was the holy grail of rock n roll sightings. As I'm settling into the 2nd row of the upper risers at The Grove to catch a showing of HOSTEL - I notice one of the ugliest rockers to ever grace the planet - JEORDIE WHITE (ex-Manson/current NIN bassist) - claiming two seats in the front row of the risers, about 10 spots down from me. I felt a presence greater than mine was approaching - and it was not from the large Hispanic couple that insisted on bringing their infant to the opening night of a slasher flick in a crowded theater - but that of the man himself...TRENT REZNOR. Definitely maintaining his new beefy look - TR showed off that he was still as nimble as ever by placing his hands on the front railing and jumping over the treacherous 4' rail into his seat. Because of my fear of having my favorite rock star punch me in the face, I did not go fan-boy on him, and left him to watch the movie in peace. I tried to follow him into the parking garage, you know, just to get the basics (automobile, license plate, route home) but again Trent was as nimble as ever and at the last minute ducked into another
elevator. Must have been my NIN shirt that gave it away, huh?

· Buck Henry chatting it up at Jerry's Deli on the 26th of December. Ed Begley, Jr. strolling down Laurel Canyon, presumably on his way to the post office.

· Saw Ed Begley Jr. at the Studio City Farmer's Market ,Sunday. One of those "only in L.A." moments because he wasn't just walking around, he had his own booth where he was hawking "Begley's Best," some super environmentally-friendly cleaning solution he must brew up in his basement. And everyone was ignoring him. Awkward. It was like - don't look into his eyes or he'll force you to drive an electric car ...bless his environmentally active soul. He's doing more than I am.

· Annabeth Gish in a Volvo SUV stopped at a light at the intersection of Olympic and Westwood, Wednesday 1/11 at 9:30am. Windows on her car are tinted but she had them all rolled down, which is why I noticed her. She was wearing gym clothes and a serious expression and had a picture-perfect golden retriever in the back seat. She will be in my pantheon forever thanks to her star turn in Shag. Go Pudge go!

· At Uzen (a sushi bar) in West LA, Sunday night 1/8, The Edge of U2 fame with family and hangers on.

· Kelly Osbourne almost ran my friends and i down in the parking lot of fred segal (1/4). Not surprising, as she was headed to the cafe with a manorexic in tow, it must have been an emergency. The usual: BIG bleach blonde hair and quite petite, but her head is jih-normous.

· I was at the Ralph's on La Brea & Third on New Year's Eve around 6 p.m. The store was packed and who is line in front of me? That adorable Josh Radnor, from How I Met Your Mother on CBS. I love the show, I love the concept. Hell, I spend the time watching it waiting for him to meet me. He was wearing some sort of ski jacket, normal jeans, sneakers and looked like a normal midwestern guy buying some groceries on a rainy night. I had no nerve to talk to him so I had to leave the line. So cute and looked very normal/down to earth.

· (1/5) Just passed Farnsworth Bentley window shopping outside Louis Vuitton at the Beverly Center. Diddy's former butler was dressed down in a green tshirt and casual pants.

· wo! i spotted joey lawrence waiting patiently for some hot weiner action at the stand in encino this past tuesday night! (oh...for those of you who don't have kids to feed in the valley, you should know that the stand is a little place on ventura that specializes in hot dogs...so get your mind out of the gutter. and he was with a pretty young lady, too.)

· On Tuesday (1/3/06), in the pouring rain, I had the greatest celebrity sighting of my life at the 76 gas station in Studio City at the
Vineland/Ventura intersection. I filled up my car directly across from the silver BMW-looking car of none other than Lin Shaye (aka the queen of random cameos aka The Ultra-Tan Lady From "There's Something About Mary" aka The Real Power Behind New Line Cinema). There was a huge flower arrangement in her passenger seat (The Academy, perhaps, after seeing an early screening of the Lin Shaye-starrer "Snakes On A Plane"?). She was wearing a parka and I could only her see face, but I immediately recognized her. I thought she might appreciate being recognized by name, or by having one of her more obscure credits called out ("Loved you as the sympathetic English teacher in 'Nightmare on Elm Street'"), but it was raining too hard for me to approach her.

· Joel McHale (host of "The Soup" on E! and Burger King pusher) gassing up his Beamer at Costco gas station in Burbank. He's much taller than I expected, which was even funnier when he got into his clownmobile of a car. Woulda said hello to him but he was talking to some imaginary friend (a.k.a. Bluetooth ear-piece).

· stopped into tower video - the one on the south side of sunset, across from the viper room with the little handicapped parking cul-de-sac thing under the awning - for a little impulse purchase. as i stand at the register waiting to pay, in rushes pro-bachelor charlie o'connell, who breathlessly asks the clerk, 'you guys have any videogames here?' after the guy tells him that the games are, in fact, across the street at the other tower, charlie mutters loudly, 'across the street? no shit!' and just as quickly rushes back out to the suv that he had parked in the above-mentioned handicapped spot, presumably to continue his quest. as soon as the door had closed behind him, another clerk yells out, 'YOUR BROTHER'S MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU!' (i don't think charlie would have disagreed had he heard...but he definitely could have torn the guy up.)
