Everybody Is A Star

Living in Los Angeles causes your friends who don't live in Los Angeles to ask you if you see famous people. The answer is... Yes. All over, all the time. Well, not all the time, but regularly enough. Pamela Sue Anderson and her kids (ALL of them) at Target. Jason Biggs (the American Pie guy) at a sushi place in a mini mall in the Valley. David Duchovny leaving his yoga class (meeeeeeow!).

I thought I'd list some good celebrity sightings for y'all. Some A+ ones; those already mentioned are probably Cs.

(FYI: And by having once worked in a cool Hollywood record store, we got to see tons of celebrity types, so we may have an edge on some folks.)

Benicio Del Toro, stoned out of his mind at the Rhino record store in Westwood, with a gorgeous blond on his arm. He was asking the clerk about a certain record, and the clerk said, "Have you tried Amoeba Music? We hardly ever see that record used." And Benicio said, "Whoa man, that place is way too overstimulating. I just can't go in there yet."

George Clooney, as the passenger in a somewhat tattered black Cadillac (mid 80's model is my uneducated guess), riding doggy style: his head was out the window on a very hot day with his tongue hanging out (someone in the car was laughing loudly) while cruising Beverly Hills at Little Santa Monica & Rodeo Drive.

Leonardo di Caprio at the Hollywood Farmer's Market, throwing a tantrum over asparagus and directing it at his supermodel lingerie wearin' girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen. He's much, much taller than I expected. Like actually tall man size.

Joe Perry (of Aerosmith) and Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin) shopping the used rock section together, at Amoeba in Hollywood, surrounded by their entourage and wearing shirts unbuttoned down... to... there. I hope someone asked them what kind of hair products they use to keep those locks so darned flowing.

Winona Ryder stalking Paul Westerberg. She was actually asked to stay 200 feet away, as his restraining order dictated. Her eyes were not quite focused - that's all I will say about that. And this occurred after the shopping incident.

Barbara Streisand and James Brolin at the Hot Dog on a Stick at the Westside Pavillion, trying to decide if they wanted the regular lemonade or the cherry lemonade. At first, my friend and I just thought they were some regular older couple, dressed in comfy, dumpy sweatpants and sweaters with thick glasses. But that nose - that voice... Helllllllooooooooooooo, gorgeous! As my dad put it when I told him, "That's more than a star sighting. She's won every award there is." They got regular lemonade.

We'll tell more later. Ciao for now!
