· Friday (2/24) - location: the patio @ Wilshire in Santa Monica. It was a veritable middle-aged celebrity clusterfuck: Goldie Hawn (disappointing in jeans with Kate's leftover white maternity shirt, topped by a mumu-like turquoise frock coat) and her non-hubby Kurt Russell (puffy, in pleated dockers) talking en masse in a big "notice me" group that also included Greg Kinnear and blonde (duh!), Dennis Quaid and his blonde wife (who BTW has the smallest ass and tiniest pin legs you will ever see), Martin Short (speaking like a 'tard to Quaid, trying to get a laugh), and what looked like Dustin Hoffman, although cannot confirm that one. Does Westside = old celebs? Dude, where are Paul Walker or Josh Duhamel when you need them?

· So I was picking up my usual selection of two-buck chuck, dried fruit and cheap cheese at the West Hollywood Trader Joe s (the one across from 24 Hour Fitness, not the one in the Yukon Mining Co. parking lot) and was somewhat rudely brushed aside by an overzealous, short, bald man and his MUCH younger date. I was about to say something when his British accent alerted me to the fact that he was none other than Oscar winner Ben Kingsley. They rushed through TJ s buying mostly cheese. I decided that in the spirit of Gandhi, I would let it slide. Everyone was gawking I ALWAYS shop here and have never even seen even a C -List celebrity here, let alone Mr. House from the House of Sand and Fog most of the Oscar winners shop at the Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills or at least the Pavilions down the street. He was wearing a long tail-like blue coat overcoat I m guessing to make him look taller (he IS short), or at least match up to his very tall black-haired girlfriend (wife?). He also seemed to have a slight sun burn. Go figure one would think Gandhi would use sunscreen.

· Poor screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Oscar winner for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, writer of Adaptation, Being John Malkovich and apparently the only person in a town full of a million writers with an original idea) was just trying to ice skate with what appeared to be his daughter yet had no idea a Defamer operative was just inches away. Black down coat, he s very short but hey, he s a giant among writers and that s gotta count for something. They were all gathering for some sort of birthday party at Pickwick skating rink in Burbank . But the interesting thing about it was seeing Kaufman looking very much like he stepped out of Eternal Sunshine all that bleak, white ice. Could that have been the place that birthed the award winning script?

· Barely spotted an inconspicuous Jake Gyllenhaal in the New Beverly theater Saturday night, where he was arting it up at a screening of Bernardo Bertolucci s "The Conformist. Jakey G. was accompanied by a leggy, Catherine-Deneuve-circa- Belle du Jour blonde who was definitely not Kirsten Dunst. However, the nature of
their relationship was difficult to discern. Jake lightly touched the small of her back while making their way down the aisle to their seats, but when we saw the couple lingering on the street after the movie let out they looked like they were on an awkward first date.. he had his hands stuffed in his pockets and she was sort of distractedly staring off in the distance. Guess the course of true love is bumpy even for foxy Oscar-nominated film stars.

· its been ages since I wrote in with my celeb sightings. so I wont even go into detail on the orlando bloom sighting at M chaya and then the one a week later of dylan mcdermott there. celebs love their
macrobiotic tempeh. but last night, attended a party for italian film
and fashion. most of the "celebs" were italians I can't recognize,
except for lina wertmuller, who they were honoring. but also in
attendance: jon voight looking serene and expressionless (botox?), rosanna arquette, who looked great, and dolph lundgren. interesting dolph lundgren trivia: when we wasn't kicking rocky's ass, he was a fulbright scholar from MIT in chemical engineering. he, sir, is no jean claude van damme. the man has a fucking fulbright.

· As I was dashing into the Sunday Hollywood Farmers Market last weekend praying that some stands would still be open late, David Schwimmer and a hot Asian woman were on the 1:00 market plan, too. Seemed like they were looking for brunchy items to eat on the go, not organic goods with which to stock their kitchen to get them through the long week ahead.

· I have two sightings just in the last week. Saturday night at the All Star bowling lanes in Eagle rock, I was bowling with my girlfriends and two lanes down from us was a large group that included James Spader and Eric Stoltz. Both of them were laughing and having a good time (until one of their drunk friends dropped a large drink on the chairs, which brought the manager and a big mop over) and then later we saw them in the karoke lounge. They didn't sing, but they were very nice when I went up and talked to them, they said they were celebrating a friends engagement and stayed until late in the night. It was a treat because hey were so down to earth, just hanging out with friends. Too bad they didn't sing anything.

And last Tuesday I was at a shopping mall in Pasadena and I ran into Adam Arkin (from Chicago Hope) and his little kid, they were in a toy store and the kid was very very excited, Adam Arkin looked a little embarrassed because he had to run after his kid, but he was funny about it too, because he was getting recognized as he was trying to chase down his kid.

· Privilege is a terrible terrible club. never go there. but last night (2/24) both corey feldman and mickey rourke were there, and it was at least semientertaining watching the feldmans (wife too) get high fives on the dancefloor and roarke hit on girls like nobody notices he's 50.

· ok, so this happened on Fri 18th, but I've been on vacay and things...

Bobby Cannavale and Peter Dinklage at some karaoke joint in K-Town. Everyone gets a private roo, so I don't know what they were singing, but they were totally together. Not Brokeback together, just together.

Cuba Gooding Jr., Aimee Garcia, Clifton Collins Jr. very, um, close... to Monica Keena, Chris Fisher, Taboo, Wycleff and the rest of the cast and their fans at the Dirty premiere party at Privilege. People went to the movie too...

· On Valentine's day, I spotted Paul Rudd with a couple of buddies at Birds on Franklin on the way to Prizzi's next door where some girl from the Donnas and Johnny Lewis from "The O.C" dined with their dates. Patrick Renna, whose most memorable roll was on "The Sandlot" as Ham Porter, eats brunch at Home on Hillhurst and doesn't seem like a very nice guy.

· 2/24 - 1:00 pm - Wow! Pharrell Williams at the Universal commissary ordering a burger and talking to an employee about doing some music for a trailer. He picked up a green Jones soda too. He was wearing a bright turquoise sweatshirt and had all kind of diamonds on his necklace. Awesome!

· After 7 pm, Sunday, February 26, Best Buy at the West Hollywood Gateway, I walk in just as a German speaking shoplifter is being seriously manhandled by a posse of mall cops. I look around to see if anyone else is witnessing this and I lock eyes with Jason Lee. He was standing near a pyramid of Tivo's and to end our awkward stare down he started pecking away on his tiny cell phone. I proceed to shop for a television and keep running into him. He was looking at plasmas. No one seemed to notice him, not even the sales guy explaining resolution quality. Let it be said that this man is HOT. He rocks the fumanchu and is surprisingly tall (over 6 ft) and fit. The vintage leather jacket and jeans served him well.

· I sat right across from Jason Schwartzman at A.O.C. tonight (Wednesday), but he looked like he was on a date with Not Zooey Deschanel. Whoever the girl was, they were having a terrific time together, and when dessert came he moved his chair over to her side of the table and they were, if not a couple (is Zooey out of the picture?), then VERY close friends... Jason looked cute, as always, clean shaven but in trademark glasses with slicked-back hair and a full-on suit.

· So I'm at the Laemmle Sunset 5 Theater on Saturday night because I was in the mood for some indie cinema, and I figured I'd check out "Unknown White Male" at the charming Hollywood art house. After picking out a nice seat in the middle of the theater with my friend, in comes some idiot wearing a shirt with the words "Fuck You" written all over it. All I can think is what a douchebag this guy is, and this blonde sits right next to him a few minutes later. The question I'm asking myself is: What kind of woman shows up in public with a guy like this? I got a better look at the girl's face and saw the logical answer: PARIS HILTON. That's right. What was Paris doing at this introspective indie flick about an amnesia victim? One would think she would've forked over $10 for "Date Movie" instead. Anyway, Paris left the theater about 4 times during the movie to respond to phone calls and text messages. It was a memorable L.A. celeb sighting.

· Bleary eyed and walking in to the Coffee Bean on Hancock in WeHo, I almost spilled my coffee on the incredibly tiny, sunglassed, sweat suited Hayden Panettiere. Shockingly, Paris Hilton was nowhere to be found. Luckily, I am incredibly tiny too, so I didn't trip on her. She's really pretty, which I didn't think before.

· Friday, February 24, Starbuck's on La Cinega and Wilshire. Olivia Newton John waiting for her non-fat capp. Casually dressed and really pretty. She has held up well. She managed to stand in the five minute queue without anyone looking at her twice.

· Saying I had a Privacywatch sighting while having lunch at The Farm seems kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, but oh well. Keri Russell, a.k.a. Felicity (and according to the IMDB wanna-be Lois Lane for the new Superman movie?), munching down with four or five other friends, mostly similar-aged females, one (older) man. Oddly, had a mugo with a radio station (KUFO - from Portland?) with her. Do 90s WB has-beens count for Privacywatch? Also spotted some unidentifiable but I'm-sure-it-was-somebody blonde
ingenue. Real young (helpful, huh?).

· Crossing the street heading towards 3rd St. I notice a tacky couple making out on the corner. As the blond guy turns away, we make eye contact which is when I realize it's Paris-beating Nick Carter. The Backstreet Boy looked like he just rolled out of bed, while the brunette was young and average looking. Even though they were making out, it seemed like they barely knew each other. I resisted the obvious urge to squeeze his love handles, while telling him he was larger than life.

· Louis Lombardi, aka "edgar" from 24, in front of the world cafe on main in santa monica. he was sitting on a bench, happy as a lark, chatting with passerby like he was a wal-mart greeter i have no idea what he was actually doing - he was totally alone and seemed delighted to talk to strangers as they walked by. at first i thought he was just another santa monica crazy person/street performer — definitely didn't recognize him at first without his 'i'm-in-love-with-chloe-but-she-slept-with-that-douchebag-spencer' pouty face.

· How Lance Bass spent his Mardi Gras:

He spent it at The Well. Originally alone in a romantic corner with an unrecognizable male companion named, as far as I could tell, Joe. They sat alone for about an hour gabbing over candell ight until their moment was broken. Two women joined Lance and Joe dressed to the nines (well one was cute and well dressed but the other, more made up one, was trying too hard).

When the the cute one, who was heretofore ensconced in conversation with the captivating ON THE LINE star, asked Joe what he was doing, he responded: "I'm just talkin' to your Mom."

Lance likes the mother-daughter thing. But really, don't we all?

· 2/28: Dionne Warwick and (Psychic?) Friends at Fogo de Chao on La Cienega

· wednesday 03/01... just spotted none other than Carl Weathers crossing the street from the kirk douglas theater in culver city... could mr. apollo creed be soon treading the boards? wearing baseball cap, sunglasses and a bluetooth thingie on his ear. i considered asking him about the "arrested development"-to-showtime rumors, but he looked pretty menacing... maybe still pissed about stallone killing him off in rocky iv, with 2 sequels still to be made?

· Last night at the Salman Rushdie speech at the Disney Music Center the only celebrity at the VIP reception was Fonzie (Henry Winkler). He had white long hair, I think it was in a pony tail and was wearing a black leather jacket, duh. He was the first person to meet Rushdie and get his picture taken with him. I guess he's smart since he was there and all??

· Wednesday night at the Panic! at the Disco and The Academy Is show at House of Blues, I saw ASHLEE SIMPSON in the VIP (balcony) area. Cute, petite, lots of blonde hair but couldn't tell what she was wearing, it was way crowded. The ticket guy for the foundation room later told me Ashlee was very pleasant, nice, and low key toward him. Who knew she had such great taste in music AND can act like a normal person?
