I've had Thanksgiving dinner with Billy Corgan. There's not a whole lot to tell. His manager lives across the street from my aunt's sister (aunt by marriage) in Chicago. He's become friends with my aunt's family, then friends with my aunt - who gave him a 3-day lomi lomi message treatment before he went on tour with Zwan.
For some reason he wanted to come to our family's Thanksgiving in Kansas City. he was pretty quiet and it was really weird having him there. I got the feeling he'd rather be somewhere else, or a fly on the wall. Hard when you're 6'5 and bald.
When we took the big picture with everyone - we acted like this was our traditional Thanksgiving family pic - which we never actually do. Within a few hours I had emailed copies to all of my friends. Pretty weird experience.
I've also partied all night with Dabney Coleman, and seen Heather Graham and Drew Barrymore make out for like a minute at a club - while Leonardo DiCaprio stood next to them looking annoyed. A bunch more minor celebs. I used to hang out in Hollywood a lot. No way to avoid them.
Oh yeah when I was working in Santa Monica this spring - within the same week I bumped into had Martin Sheen and Michael Keaton at my Starbucks. Freaked me out. They both look old. And I saw Ceasar Milan - the Dog Whisperer in Redondo Beach the other day. This really excited me as he's one of my heroes.
