Transformers!!!!

Spotted: Derek Alvarado from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at Boho in Hollywood. Who is Derek Alvarado you ask? Well Derek is a fellow UT Alumn, from H-town whom I've known since I was like 12. We bumped into each other at Boho before going to see Transformers at the Arclight Dome. He mentioned he was in the movie and sure nough....First scene with the military there was Derek with speaking lines....and then throughout the movie....Nice work man!

Celebrities are normal people too!

Celebrities are normal people too. Take Amanda Bynes for instance. She goes to Westfield Sherman Oaks Mall. She talks on her cell. She carries a $2500 Chanel purse and drives a BMW X5. See....they are just like us.

Here's to Tonight!

1:10 pm - Katie (Heard Spurck) leaves The Waffle in Hollywood. We walk past the Pantages Theatre where the sign says that Third Eye Blind will be playing at the end of June. Cool. It's been a long ass time since we listened to Third Eye Blind. Actually, the last time Katie saw Third Eye Blind was as a sophomore in high school when Eve 6 opened for them. Skip to 8:00pm. Katie, David and I are at Katsuya and bump into Josh's friend Justin and girlfriend who is eating with Max Collin's, lead singer of Eve 6. If only that worked with all celebs. I would talk about Rob Pattison and see him everyday. Too bad it doesnt always work that way......

Another One Tree Hill Cast Member?

Spotted: Stephen Colletti most recently from One Tree Hill but ex-Laguna Beach reality star at Ralphs in the self check out line.

Beuller? Beuller?

Spotted: Ben Stein at Ahi Sushi. That's it. All I got.

Baby Fat!

According to Casey as we hiked Runyon Canyon this evening, the blonde with the baby in the backpack was previous American Idol contestant Krisy Lee Cook. Two things I know...she didn't have baby fat and I didn't know she was pregnant. Conclusion: Stolen Baby!

Just last night - Eddie Jemison

So - here is one of those "how did E notice this one??" Eddie Jemison was in Ocean's movies and I know my Clooney/Pitt movies!

First off, I have seen him at the Hand Car Wash twice. The first time, I just noticed him. The second time (in between dialogue with Ethan Embry) his 2 year old daughter dressed all in pink walked up to me, put her elbows on my knees and asked me what nail polish color I was wearing. No joke.

Well she made quite and impression on me. Last night, Dave and I decided to grab some Gelatto up the street and there he was, with his wife (pictured here..about 8 1/2 months pregnant now) with their little girl, Daisy.

Wow, E knows alot about this 2 year old. Well on my way in, I stopped and mentioned that I had encountered this little girl before as she was very interested in my nails. They were delighted that I stopped and said something and introduced themselves.

Once we grabbed our bowl of yumminess, we sat outside next to them and watched as Daisy put on a show for entertainment!

"Can't Hardly Wait" to get out of this situation!!!!

It's Friday morning. I go for a car wash up the street. It is called Hand Car Wash for obvious reasons, but even better, they have these huge hand shaped chairs to sit in outside as you wait for your car.

I sit down conveniently next to Ethan Embry from such films as Can't Hardly Wait and Vegas Vacation. I have to tell you that he is one of those actors that my friend Lauren and I loved in High School mostly because her middle name is Emery and it was close to Embry. A stretch maybe, but we loved him all the same.

So sitting next to him. He fidgets. I realize I am wearing a skirt and did not bother to shave. Damn the work clothes for stumping me again. I look at him and the Diaglogue begins:

Ethan: "These chairs are uncomfortable"
E: (Awkwardly) "Well I guess if you had more fat they wouldn't be so hard" (Im not making this up....so awkward)
Ethan: "All bones here"

moments of silence...random conversation or whatever...I was BBMing Lauren the whole time.

E: "I have not seen anyone touch my car in like 15 minutes. They are just standing by it"
Ethan: "Have you ever played that game where you guess which car belongs to which person waiting?"
E: "No but sounds fun....."
Ethan: (looking at 6'7" Blonde German sitting two chairs down) "That guys drives the mini"
E: "No, he's German Engineering...I pick the VW"
pause
E: "I drive the cop car" (staring at the pimped out black car that is the same body style as a cop car)
Ethan: "really?"
E: "No..hahahaha"
Ethan: "You drive the Volvo."
E: "That predictable huh?" "Which one is your car?"
pause...moment of revelation...pause
E: "Its the cop car, huh?"
Ethan: "Yep"
E: "Wow that is not as funny as I'd hope for"
Ethan: "It's not really a cop car"
E: (thinks duh) "Yeah, I was joking, look my car's ready.....have a good one"

I then RUN to my car.

Calling All Trekkies!

Picture this....David is sick and at work on a Friday night. Food was needed. I decide to take a shower, let the hair dry naturally. Not typical. Then I head up to my local Indian cafe, Bollywood, to grab some take out for the two of us. No makeup necessary - its my local cafe and I won't be long....ha..funny last words. As I sit outside at a table waiting for my order, a Ford Explorer parks right out front. A pregnant woman gets out of the driver's seat and an older gentleman out of the passenger's seat. Then by my surprise the back door opens too. Out comes CHRIS PINE or should we say Captain Kirk! I get nervous, he is right next to me. I have a look on my face like "WOW...YOU'RE CAPTAIN KIRK" and his dad totally caught me. I look at him and he winks. I don't know if he was hitting on me. What do you think???

Spring Fever

4-3-09 Joe Manganiello - Owen from One Tree Hill having a coffe at Caffe Primo (E in the dorkiest work clothes imaginable)

4-3-09 Adrian Grenier - At Schute's Art Show - he lives with a friend of Dave's. Why have we not gone out??? Mystery.

4-4-09 Gale Harold - from Desperate Housewives (Susan's ex Canadian painter boyfriend) post motorcycle accident paying a meter outside Little Dom's in Los Feliz

4-5-09 Michael Cudlitz - most recently in the new show 'Southland' which may or may not have been cancelled already. It does have Ryan from The OC. spotted at Starbuck. typical.

4-10-09 Jimmy Kimmel - no explanation necessary. Spotted walking out of Sherman Oaks Westfield Mall. Surprisingly thin.

4-10-09 Billy Burke - MY ONLY CONNECTION TO TWILIGHT. Looking very scruffy outside Loteria in Hollywood. I think he might have had the same plaid shirt from the movie.

4-11-09 Dita Von Teese - Yoga! she is strikingly beautiful.

Alejandro Ghery's Bday party at Vicente on 4-13-09 brought out the big stars:

1. John Cusak - came over to speak with Al's dad Frank. Frank asked him to go sailing. Shit - I will serve drinks if that is what it takes to get on the boat.

2. Benjamin Bratt - I actually saw him from behind and thought "that looks like Ben Bratt" then he turned around and it was. That is real talent. He sat on the same side of the table with his wife.

(also a girl from CSI was there....not really name worthy)

4-14-09 Brooke Burns - Host from that show Dog Eat Dog. Was engaged to Bruce Willis back then. Spotted at Sushi Katsuya. It is my favorite restaurant in LA plus I see someone there every time!

4-17-09 Sam Trammell - Sam Merlotte from HBO's True Blood spotted dining with pal Tate Donovan (Marissa's Father from The O.C. and Jen Aniston's ex beau) at BOHO in Hollywood.

4-18-09 Quentin Tarantino - not a huge deal for you Austinites who have seen him with 18 year olds at Guero's. He was talking in his rather annoying voice loudly at Cafe Des Artiste dressed in a hockey jersey. I don't know why more girls aren't drooling over him.

CREEPER ALERT!!!!!

4-19-09 Spotted Andy Dick with young daughter at Ralph's grocery store in my hood. He gives me the creeps.

4-26-09 T.R. Knight from Grey's Anatomy went hummingbird watching with pals on Runyon Canyon. Two girls...maybe E & Case butt in and chat about this amazing event. Smooth! Spotted again just the other day 5-26 at Little Dom's with same pals.

5-1-09 Billy Crudup with son at Whole Foods. I kept thinking how I had just seen his blue penis as Dr. Manhattan in The Watchmen. It was a weird thing for me.

SCANDAL ALERT!!!!

5-2-09 Megan Fox (looking like cousin IT with her hair in her face, big glasses and a hat) eating breakfast at Le Pain with EX BEAU Bryan Austin Green. The two of them texted on their phones the whole time, didn't talk, and left Green's son there to entertain himself. And who thought she wouldn't be a good Step-Mother???????

5-8-09 Guy Pierce (or Brad Pitt's doppleganger) from Momento drink a very healthy green drink at Starbucks.

Happy Mother's Day

5-10-09 Spotted Shia LeBeauf with bandanged hand taking mom to a movie at Sherman Oak's Arclight theatres. This just days after stories of how his 4'10'', 200lb hippy mom was said to be the most beautiful person he knows. He would marry her if she weren't his mother. He thought about the days when her and her friends danced around the house naked. Frightening!!!

5-24-09 Jordana Brewster - from the Fast & the Furious movies. She looked cool. Standing in line for popcorn at the Arclight.

5-28-09 GREAT SPOTTING from my MOTHER! On her flight from Austin to LA - spotted Heather Mills flying coach!

5-29-09 Anyone remember the character Cher from Clueless? Has she done anything since then? Well she did complain about "David party of 5" sitting down at Sushi Katsuya before her and her man even though we came in after them. She was totally "clueless" that you have to have a reservation or you better like waiting an hour. Sucka!!!

If you want to look any of these Celebs to see if you know them...check out www.imdb.com!

I have a couple others that will bring us to date, but they need their own post!

Do Erica & Casey have a new BFF????

So here's the story:

Two Girls, let's call them E & Case go to dinner with friends at Beso in Hollywood. Outside we chat with blonde girl, recognized by the two of us as Bevin from One Tree Hill. Chat it up about hair.

Months later, same girls, go to Saturday morning Yoga. Same blonde comes in late and stands right infront of girls doing down dog. Coincidence? I don't know.

Then the taller of the girls is with Brit boyfriend at Sushi Katsuya and spots Blondie AGAIN with friends. Could this Blonde be stalking E??? Or are the destined to be BFFs???

Then Case decides to move into a bigger place and it just so happens that Bevin lives next door to her and J's new digs. WHAT??? Yes you hear that.

So the question is...Is E and Case going to be friends with Bev or what?

The answer is....

No - she moved out Sunday. :(

Too many too do.

So I have decided that for the "history" section of this blog, I will only do the ones with a good story. Then I will go onward with the sightings....I dont want to bore you.

You can always bet on Chateau Marmont

Spotted: Keanu Reeves walking in with presents at Chateau Marmont, Wednesday April 1st. Long hair, awkward stagger, but thoughtful I guess. I didn't see anyone else in the back room bring gifts!

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I gave David a really hard time for two years about not seeing Leonardo DiCarprio when he did a BAFTA-LA screening of Blood Diamond that he took his sis Nicky too. What a great sighting. Plus at the screenings, they sit and do a Q&A for a half hour. Well just before Christmas, Dave and I went to the Warner Brother's lot to see a screening of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. We were told that only the Director, David Fincher would be speaking at the Q&A after the movie. However, after the movie was finished....out walks BRAD PITT in his grey pinstriped three piece suit..looking good along with his cast - Cate Blanchett (seen her twice now), Julia Ormond, Taraji Henson and a couple others.

At that point, I could no longer give Dave Hell.

It's Brad Pitt.

My First Year in LA

So here are the first group of people I saw in LA. It was a slow start - but when April came around...It was game on. These are some of the celebs before then...


Ryan Gosling - spotted walking into LA fitness just as David and I finish our late night workout.

At Sushi Katsuya
Jennifer Love Hewitt - pre fiance breakup
Miley Cyrus

At Laural Tavern
Fred Durst (LimpBizkit) - Laurel Tavern over heard him chatting his friends up about his "huge director gig"....riiiiggghhht.
Adam Long - you would know him from a WB show "Jack & Bobby"

Others:
Christina Applegate - Pinz Bowling Alley
Katherine Heigl with Hubby Josh Kelley at the Arclight Theatre in Hollywood

Let's Start from the Beginning!

So - from the beginning...I have always loved the Entertainment industry! TV ~ Movies ~ Music ~Video Games (yes, I love geeks) and all that goes with it. I have always had a an internal game of Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon going on. I love to link A Listers, B, C, and D listers to shows and movies. Let's call it a hobby, maybe. So here I am, now living in LA, the land of the Celebrity seeing them wherever I go! And now you can read about my sightings. I am a much thinner, cuter, but still guy loving Perez Hilton.

Read on....

I am going to try to link IMDB pages to my sighting so you can see who I mean if you are not so celebrity inclined. No sneaky pictures here. I do not have an iPhone, but a camera-less Blackberry.

Enjoy!
