Recent celebrity sightings

Three weeks ago I'm walking to get a haircut. I'm on Lexington Ave, waiting at the light on 72nd (a two way street) and I notice the man next to me is Mike Wallace, wearing a sportcoat and gray flannel slacks. He looks trim and fit, but his hair is more white than I've noticed on TV. The light turns and I continue the two blocks to the barbershop, a place that, incidently, has pictures of it's regulars on the walls, one of whom is Mr. Wallace. I get my haircut and as I'm leaving, I walk past him getting a haircut and a manicure.

Two weeks ago at a noodle place in the East Village I notice Martha Stewart with two middle aged British men (I believe the French call it menage-a-trois?) sipping sake. She's big, like 5-11 with shoulders like a linebacker. She could kick the crap out of Diablo in a fair fight.

Yesterday, eating ribs at Blue Smoke (St. Louis style ribs were pretty good, pink from the smoke and tasted good, with just a little sauce that wasn't cloying), megantw said, "That woman over there looks like a cross between Andi (friend with a big mouth) and Julia Roberts." I look over. I say, "I think it is Julia Roberts." We stare. We disagree. We think she isn't. We think she is. Turns out she is. She looks much worse in person. Too thin, small, too much hair, oversized mouth. Oh well. The ribs were good.

I already posted it in the Lost thread, but on Saturday I saw Libby wearing a wifebeater and blue hot-pants at Target.

Mandy Moore apparently lives near me because she jogged in front of my car while I was at a stop sign a couple weeks ago.

Not my own sighting, but my dad was at a club the other night and sat in a booth with the Arch Bishop Don Magic Juan and got me his autograph.

She is really good looking. Particularly with dark hair.

Apparently Johnny Depp just bought a crib in my quaint mountain town, so I'll keep an eye out for him and report back to OOT with any findings.

I'm at a tasting this weekend when I ran into a guy I know from many years ago. He was a nightclub doorman and host of a cabaret show, and he is also an actor who was one of the thieves in The Thomas Crown Affair. When the Soprano's first hit the air I looked for him each week because he shares the same name as Uncle Junior, but it wasn't him. Years later Dominic is a lot older now, he has lost his hair and he is mostly gray. At the table he was talking about all the fans of his father when I finally realized for the first time that Dominic is the son of Dominic Chianese, aka mob boss Johny Ola himself.

boy am I slow.

Went to Disneyland this weekend with family, (was upset I was probably not gonna have a chance to watch the UFC pay-per-view saturday night), but on Sunday morning as my group is leaving the Buzz Lightyear ride, my wife looks over and says, "isn't that Matt Hughes?". I look over and see Matt Hughes and his family, along with Chuck Liddell and his family cruising out of the ride right behind us. They had a Disney rep leading them around. We later saw them at the California Adventure park. Few people seemed to notice who they were.

I see Chuck Liddell quite often at bars around here since he is from Fresno. He was with that fighter from Brooklyn (drawing a blank on his name) a few weeks ago. It is amazing how there are some people who will try to start [censored] with these guys. That is about the only truly famous person I see here.
