Happy Monday to you. So, how tall was he?

i think the most famous person i've seen up close is...you! i'm not sure i could handle much more than that.

Am I first?

Those are some astounding eyebrows!

I know what you mean about the "do I know that guy?" syndrome. A few years ago, I was chatting up a guy who sat next to me on a park bench while my friend was off taking pictures. When my friend came back, I pointed him out, saying, "Isn't he cute? He looks like Tim Robbins." She so kindly pointed out to me that he *WAS* Tim Robbins. Such a dork I am. I would *never* have talked to him if I'd known he was actually a celebrity....

My youngest cat (and newest addition, since she's only been with us for about 5 weeks) has actually been CLIMBING our tree, and I've had to pull her out a few (hundred) times. I wish she would resort to eating ornaments instead, expensive or not, as my response to that would require less body contortion.

And--cool! Celeb sighting! Don't get that much in the mid-Atlantic region.

NO! I'm first? That's a first! (yuk) (Of course, I may be 11th before I hit "post". Only celeb I've ever seen at Whole Foods was...uhn...erm....nope, ever did see one. We don't have our ornaments up yet (so far, no kitty-tree entanglements) but I have to watch Lilliane plenty close, she's enamoured of the Chanukah candles. Fortunately the only menorah she can actually approach is the electric one. Don't ask.

When I worked in Mexico, we had celebs in the store all the time. I would usually try go upstairs to get away from everyone acting so weird ... following them around, staring at them ... they're just people! *sheesh*

I've only seen John Lithgow working out at the gym at UCLA... boy, is he tall! Or maybe I'm just short ...

Laurie, reading your lovely book. I laughed out loud during parts. However, did I miss pictures of Frankie??? I love the pics of Bob, Roy and of course, the mighty Sobakawa, but no Frankie? :(

My mom thinks she sees famous people in the grocery store all the time, but..we don't live in LA, so..they're not really famous ppl..

How fun! Did you speak to him?

I haven't written before, Laurie, but I loved your book (it made me laugh out loud, too) and I wait for your blog entries (worry when you don't check in for a couple of days, like you need another mom?) and I love your attitude. Thank you. Keep your chin up and keep taking care of yourself and making us think sometimes and laugh sometimes.

The only famous person I have seen was Sinbad!! Does he even count? It was like 1996 and he was in Minneapolis for something and I saw him in the Skyway. Very tall. And cats and Christmas--my cats have to climb the tree and try to remove the strings of pearls. Ugh!!! But so cute.

Did you hug him inappropriately?

I always think celebrities have personal shoppers to do the mundane grocery shopping and what-not -- I'm always surprised to see papparazi photos of them getting Starbucks or whatever.

I was on a plane with Ed Begley, Jr. once. I know -- you want to touch me, don't you?

The one and only time we went to Lake Arrowhead we saw his dad (Lloyd Bridges). No mistaking who he was - it was kind of exciting. We didn't talk to him, but did say Hi as I recall.

Thanks for the blog - it makes my day.

Hi Laurie!
I think the closest to famous I've ever seen was Ben Stein. He spoke at a college near here. Also, it's not just kitties that eat ornaments. My husband ate one when he was little... His mom said it wasn't as bad as it sounds, but it was one of those glass ones... hahaha... I'm tempted to serve him one on a plate with some noodles one day...

Lesli -- I used to think Sinbad was following me (hah). He was in line behind me at the bank once, then I saw him in the grocery store, then he was even in my tae-bo class! This was like a hundred years ago, it was when I was still new to Los Angeles. It freaked me out a little... then he disappeared. I wonder whatever happened to him?

DAMN! hunka hunka burning love!

the cats want to eat the expensive ornaments because they have expensive tastes. unlike their staff (you and me), who have champagne tastes on beer budgets.

is this another of the sobakawa's manifestos?

PS - was given your book for my wedding anniversary (!). lerve it! been there, done that, had therapy, love myself first now; all others come second.

happy holidays to you and the cats!

Years ago I was out at happy hour with friends and had the seat facing the door. I was about to tell my friends, "Look at that wannabe," when I realized that the guy was indeed Nicolas Cage because his then wife Patricia Arquette walked in right behind him. They sat down a couple of tables away and everyone in the place tried not to stare too much. Which was hard because Patricia was wearing a pink leather jacket with red leather pants.

And the ornaments? That's because your cats have fine taste.

Last day of school for my son is next Friday, but I'm in Washington so it could be different for you.

Beau Bridges was in a movie with Jonathan Brandis and I had a HUGE crush on him oh way back in the day but he's not around anymore. Sad face. I would have spent the rest of my day thinking about all the time I spent kissing my posters of him.

I'm gonna go eat some chocolate now.

My fiber-pursuing cat (I have 2 and only one is fiber-insane) only likes to pull out the alpaca which is a pain to wind or the superwash wool sock yarn that is put up into the oval balls by the company and cannot be rewound. She's even broken into a fully tied basket to get to these fibers! I think it's just the oddness of kitties.

I wonder if Beau has cats, and if they ever attack his eyebrows when he's asleep...

Hehehehe, my hubby sort of looks like Beau. *giggle* Minus the extreme eyebrows.

Christmas ornaments... eppp, at least you are to the point of having them where cats can eat them. Mine are apparently in storage, along with the tree.... despite thinking they were in the back of the van where they supposedly resided ALL YEAR (yes, we drove the van with stuff that was supposed to be on its way to storage in the back of it for a year!), it appears that at some point the Christmas stuff made its way to the storage and all I was driving around with was random boxes of stuff to sort out and and get rid of. *sigh*

Merry Ornament Eating to you and the cats!

Not sure the answer to your questions, but if we're asking unanswerable questions, the main one on my mind is why do they guys you don't really care about always call and the ones you really really really want to call don't?
aurgh!
happy monday, anyway. :)

Back when I first moved to LA, like two hundred years ago, I used to see lots of celebs at the Brentwood Hamburger Hamlet, especially. This was the early 70s, and, alas, many of them are dead - Lorne Greene, other old-time stars. But the best and longest sighting was a flight to Chicago, when the plane was diverted to land at a brand-new, not even open yet, airport in Kansas City. A plane had slid off a runway at O'Hare and we had to wait for things to be cleared there. Turns out Caesar Romero was in first class on my flight. He strode up and down the empty airport corridors, followed by his minions, his coat flung over his shoulders and billowing in the breeze like a cape.
He was very handsome and every inch a star, even if too old to have been one of my heart-throbs.
To reduce air traffic going to O'Hare, which was badly backed up by now, the airlines combined our flight with another, and Caesar persuaded the flight attendants to bring along the champagne from our flight and treat us all to free bubbly.
A really, really decent guy, don't you think?

I got to meet my musical hero, Neil Finn (Crowded House), in the produce department of Whole Foods in Portland Oregon. I was not shy, I figured this was my chance to have one of those great moments to remember. He was very gracious and I (thankfully) did not turn into a giggling 13 year old girl. ah, memories!

Oddly enough, I too saw a celebrity at a grocery store this weekend. My family and I saw Tim Allen at Bristol Farms market on Sunset Blvd. We were all trying to act cool..like we see celebrities every day..and then after he left the store we realized that we were so cool that we just blew our once in a life time chance to have the real Buzz Lightyear tell his A#1 fan "to infinity and beyond"... We debated and couldn't decide if he would have gotten as big of a kick out of hearing my nephew's reply as we do. Nephew says:"TO INFIBITY..AND BEYOND!!"

"Surreal" is the right word when you see someone famous. When I was still in Phoenix, I was walking out of my tennis club and there was Vince Vaughn. It felt so bizarre, like he was really out of context somehow. He looked right at me, smiled, said hello just like an actual person. Why does it seem like they aren't real people? And talk about tall...

Happy Monday to you too!

I once saw Kareem Abdul Jabar's knees out of my passenger seat window while driving through Beverly Hills back in the 70's. Does that count?

Laurie,
I can't help but think of Michelle Phieffer in that red dress when I hear Making Whoopie. I love that piano scene in Fabulous Baker Boys
I saw Roddy McDowell at a book store in London. But I didn't approach him or anything.
Happy Monday to you

I met Dean Johnson from Hometime at the wine store I work at part-time. He's not a major celebrity I know, but my dad was really jealous.

I had to hold back the urge to say "OMG, I've watched you since I was a kid!!" or "I like the Taxi driver Robin the best."

Hey! I had a run-in with his brother Jeff at Whole Foods on Ventura Blvd (at Winnetka?). We both reached for a lemon at the same time. He was much more adorable in person, wowza. Just sayin... He insisted I take the lemon but I actually argued with him, duh!

We don't have very many celebrity sightings here in Arkansas...;-(

I made Jai Rodriguez cry in an elevator once.

Eons ago, way back when I was in college....I met a guy in Manhattan during Spring Break. It was sort of a date thingy... Anyway, we were window shopping at Van Cleef and Arpels when he said, "Hey Carolyn, there's _________". I didn't hear who he was talking about so I turned around to see who he was talking about and planted my face directly into Jeff Bridges' chest! I looked up and said "Oops!" in a very articulate fashion. I can think of worse things that could happen; planting your face in Jeff Bridge's chest ain't so bad!!! Glad you got to have a "Bridges Encounter" too.

I was on my honeymoon in NY back in 1998 (R.I.P. horrible marriage) and I met Rudy Guiliani and Randy Quaid in a bar watching the Yankees in the World Series. Rudy gave me his autograph and was very nice. Randy was so huge in person that I was scared to ask him.

I also met Sheriff Lobo (Claude Aikens) from B.J. and the Bear when I was much younger. Please...y'all don't be jealous.

I flew on the same plane as Cher one time.

My dad once had a beer with John Wayne. I can't beat that.

Eating the expensive ornaments? Hmm. I wish. No, dear little Miss Miyu Kitty has to eat the paper confetti streamers from the little tree my daughter has in the front window and then hit the litter box with colourfulness. Happy, happy, Joy, joy. Well, at least she isn't hair-balling it.

Happy holidays to the cats and you, too.

OMG Beau missed out on meeting YOU!

When he finds out he will be so sorry!
.

hmmm... I've seen quite a few celebs here in NYC... it's super fun to run across & recognize them.

Claire Danes (at a newspaper stand - she is tiny)
Tara Subkoff (garment district)
Oscar de la Renta (actually spoke to!)
Gabrielle Reese (carrying a baby)
Kimora Lee Simmons (body gaurd holding an umbrella over her head)
Jay Z (all by himself!)
Liev Schrieber (alone in the fog smoking a cigarette the night the pope died)
Jessica Stam (in an elevator)
Parker Posie (LES... looking so cool)
Fairuza Balk (quaffing drink in the tents @ Bryant Park)
Clinton Kelly (of What Not to Wear - across from Macy's!)

Celebs have lives so I guess it shouldn't surprise me to run across one on occasion. It's been a while since I've seen anyone though. I want to see some west coast celebs.

I lived in L.A. (Hollyweird) in 1989-90. My BF and I were on the rocks at the time but he and his buddy and I went to Madame Wong's (nightclub) for New Years' Eve. Those naughty boys vanished and went off in search of fresh meat, leaving me alone in the club. Who should I spot standing all by himself but Poison's illustrious drummer, Rikki Rockett! Being bold, I walked over and started up a conversation. He was such a cool guy, he spent the rest of the evening chatting with me. When midnight rolled around, soon-to-be XBF was nowhere to be found. But that was fine with me. I got my first kiss of the 90s from Mr. Rockett! Whoo-hoo! (And kept bumping into him over the year, why did I not ask for his digits?) *kicking self* God, I miss L.A....

I often do not realize that the vaguely familiar face is that of a famous person until I am at home.

Having said that, I saw Julie Chen and Les Moonves in Whole Foods once. She was really overdressed, and he looked quite schlubby.

I have a cute story about my Mom's celebrity sighting - - this took place many, many years ago . . .

My parents lived in a small town in Central Illinois. Caesar Romero was scheduled to visit the Nursing Home there, and everyone in town was thrilled! Mom and Dad had recently celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary, and one of their gifts was a silver tea service. A lady from Church remembered that they had that set, and asked if they would be willing to loan it to the Nursing Home for the reception. And, of course, they were invited to attend the reception as well.

Mom is now gone, and Dad has given me the silver tea set. So, I am now the proud owner of a tea set that once served tea to Caesar Romero! :-)

celeb sightings are rare in Metro Detroit, although my hubby did see Eva Longoria.
What was in Beau's cart? That is even more intriguing...

Karen hahahahahaha I can see the headlines.

"Bridges brother brutalised by bad
(silent b)felines"

I met Robert Duvall at a tango workshop once. He was very intense, and a very good dancer with his beautiful, leggy girlfriend. I also saw the father Bridges when I went to a screening of "The Mirror Has Two Faces". He wasn't very tall. And my real claim to fame is that I went to high school with Bebe Neuwirth of Lilith on Cheers fame (that's how old I am). Small world all the way around.

Remind me to tell you sometime about the time my husband bumped into a porn star in the produce section.

My mom just told me this story today. She was in the choir in high school, and when they went to a regional competition they stayed in the homes of students from that area. The family she stayed with was friends with Mrs. Smith. The pie lady. It was card night, and Mrs. Smith showed up for the game in her night gown and bathrobe, with curlers in her hair.

I once saw Lenny- or Squiggy, I can never keep them straight- in a play at a local college. Squiggy- or Lenny, whichever- sat behind me in the audience.

All my other celebrity sightings have been authors, which is much more exciting to me, but probably less interesting to others.

Oh, and I saw Bruce Hornsby in a mall in Austin once.

Drew, you made Jai cry??? What, didn't you exfoliate that day?

I saw Mark McGwire in Chilis once. He. Was. Huge.

Here in NashVegas, I have had a few random celebrity sightings....

Ira Dean (Trick Pony) in line at Kroger
Allison Krauss at Centennial Park with her kids
Carolyn Dawn Johnson in line at Academy Sports (she was sooo sweet...totally apologized because she was buying so much stuff and I only had one thing)
Vince Gill at Noshville Deli
Pam Tillis at Noshville Deli...same day
Keith Urban at a Coldplay concert
Heather Kinley of The Kinleys goes to my church (supposedly, so does Phil Vassar, though I've never seen him)

I'm sure I've "seen" other celebrities out and about....but you take country music stars out of their hair, makeup, cowboy hats and rhinestones, and they really are hard to recognize!

Awesome!! He has very nice eyes. I don't know if I could live in LA or New York; I'd make a fool of myself every time I saw a famous person. I'd be all, "Dude! You're Beau Bridges! Well, you're not the Dude, your brother is the Dude. You're Beau Bridges!" etc.

Completely Unrelated to Your Post:
I just bought your book to celebrate winter break and I can't wait to read it...hence why I'm not waiting to win an autographed copy, though that would still be pretty cool.
Just had to share.
Have a lovely Monday!

At my house, the cats only eat the sentimental ornaments.....the cinnamon scented gingerbread man my son made in preschool, the macaroni angel my long deceased grandmother made for me years ago, etc. (Why on earth they go for OLD, raw macaroni that was spray painted with cheap gold spray paint and stuck together with a hot glue gun is beyond me.....if they get poisoned, I'll ALMOST think it served them right on my dash to the vet!!)

I haven't been as lucky as some others I know. I met a talk show host back in the 90's at the DFW airport. He was already old by then but I can't remember his name now? Not Merv Griffin.

Anyway, I have a best friend who I've known since high school who had a fraternal twin brother that I also went to school with. He was a very entertaining person! He went on to become the dance double for Kevin Bacon in Footloose. The woman he married was the dance double for the lead character in Flash Dance. He was also the lead guy in the music video Sharp Dressed Man by ZZTop. Also toured with Cher back in the late 80's/early 90's a couple of times as one of her lead dancers. He was in Michael Jackson's Beat It video, minor roles on tv, and some commercials. He was coming up in Hollywood when he unfortunately passed away at age 34 in the early 90's. He is very much missed. His name was Peter Tramm.

This same girlfriend of mine, Peter's twin, was married to a guy whose grandfather was a stunt man and who knew John Wayne. My gf's husband, when he was a little boy, sat on John Wayne's lap.

I didn't see your caption at first about stealing the picture from the innernets and I thought "Wow, he gets dressed up to go to Whole Foods!" Those are incredible eyebrows. I can't wait to see them in 15 years when he's truly old. I wish I could measure them. But I'm weird like that. My husband had one that was over an inch a while ago. I stared it for no less than 5 minutes in awe and wonder.

In 1999, I was at a fund raiser and met Jack Morris from the Minnesota Twins. He pitched a no-hitter in the 1991 World Series. I remember my mom thought his red hair was cute, so I got his autograph for her. He sure was tall... yum...

Then in 2005 I was at a St Paul Police Xmas party and saw Jack Morris again. He must be a HEAVY drinker because he didn't look so good this time around. He tried to hit on me & I shot him down saying that my 14 yr old son could pitch better than he could. He was a bit rude & we were both drunk at the time, so oh well.

Besides - the cops were WAY cuter. And they have handcuffs... OOPS! I said what???

hee hee hee!!!

I could deal with the staring as long as I didn't actually drool on the broccoli.

This Christmas will be our first in a very long time without Ed the cat. He went to that great catnip field in the sky last Friday. Our ornaments will be safer (if you think a 19-year-old cat is too old to menace ornaments, that's because you never met Ed), and we will be sadder.

They eat the expensive ornaments for the same reason my cat leaves a hairball 1 foot away from the littler box. I am his silly human servant. My possessions are his possessions that I am permitted to use. At least he leaves my yarn alone....

I loved the Fabulous Baker Boys, one of my all time faves. Plus the soundtrack throughout that movie is "fabulous."

My very large tabby ( 23lbs) is obsessed with ribbon. Not chasing or playing with it but hunkering down and chewing swallowing and then 'eliminating' it if we don't catch him! He lays in wait nonchalantly and then goes after gifts under the tree, or near the tree or on the table. I is also not fun when wrapping presents. It is a delightful surprise in the cat box though! This needed bodily purging is normally accomplished with grass - but here in Winnipeg - we have had snow on the ground for 2 months already!

I think I would have asked him to fetch his brother. Jeff is one of my longtime faves. I once followed John Hurt along Kensington High Street and watched him while he looked in shop windows. I couldn't think of anything cool to say, so I left him alone before I got arrested.

Laurie, I just clicked on the book tour link on the right side of your page for the schedule and it shows no schedule for you on booktour.com. Just so you know.

BECAUSE they're the most expensive ornaments, obviously.

Fabulous Baker Boys totally rocks!!!!

Drew, you crack me up with your comments!!

I totally LOVED the Fabulous Baker Boys!!!
And for some reason, my cats only want the water from the live tree. Must be a rush or something in the water…

Is anyone going to ask uccellina what kind of produce the porn star was buying?

Anyone?

I saw Mckenzie Phillips in the produce aisle of a small grocery store in Glens Falls, NY years ago. I sat next to a talk show host at a car wash in LA years ago too but I can't remember her name.

I had a cat that used to climb 2/3 of the way up the tree every day and sit on the branches and look out the window. It took me years to be trained not to pout the tree near the window.

The same cat used to eat those long silvery strands of tinsel that are no longer in fashion. She used to have a hard time eliminating them and they would hang out her butt in long strands and float out behind her when she walked around like a glittery banner.

Good times!

Beau Bridges? Cool! My celebrity sightings include:

* Charlton Heston at a Waldenbooks in Fort Worth, TX
* Leslie Anne Down at a restaurant somewhere in southern CA (I was visiting my cousin; I have no idea where we were)
* Lyle Lovett smoking a cigarette late late one night after a show in Chapel Hill, NC
* Charlene Tilton (from the old TV show "Dallas") at a flea market in Paris (she was so short!)
* my favorite was seeing Julian Sands, the hottie from "A Room With a View", at the Portobello Road market in London--he was with his (then) 2-year-old son and was so gracious when I asked for his autograph. Yes, that was so long ago that his son could legally buy me a beer now.

It's been a long time since I had a celebrity sighting.

Hi Laurie,
Just wanted to let you know I've become a regular reader of your blog. You're so genuine and real I wanted to come clean and let you know you're talking to me too! I really enjoy your postings. I can relate to your perspective on things. It's fun.

Why do cats only eat your expensive ornaments? The same reason Labrador Retrievers manage to knock your only Christopher Radko ornament off the tree!

Ornaments? I'm sorry, but there is nothing worse than cold, gacked-up tinsel garland squishing between bare toes.

Obviously, there is no garland this year.

Isn't it weird when you see a celebrity? I have a dear friend that looks so much like Janet Jackson. I was in a local upscale to go food deli in Atlanta and I swear I saw my friend in her gym clothes. It wasn't until my friend walked right past me without even bothering to say hello did I realize it was not my friend but Janet Jackson. We still get big laughs out of this even though it has been several years now.

I grew up in New Orleans, and when I was younger, I bartended in music clubs for supplemental income, so as a result I have run into a lot of music people and also a modest amount of movie celebs, but my favorite and funniest was when I had a college-break job selling athletic shoes and the entire cast of Smokey and the Bandit needed tennis shoes, back when the shoe clerk actually fitted your shoes for you. Not everyone can say they touched Burt Reynold's feet!

I would really get all tongue tied and stupid if I ever met Paul McCartney, Neil Young or Tom Petty. Or Willie Nelson. Or Al Gore! Anybody else, I can handle.

I don't know how I managed to have a kitty who doesn't eat ornaments or yarn or ribbon or tinsel. I guess I should count myself lucky! I think Mom got her trained somehow.

When I was a kid, I competed as a figure skater here in L.A. So, during competition season I got to skate on practice sessions with people like Brian Boitano, Tiffany Chin, and even Tonya Harding (she was 12 I think). But the one story that still makes me chuckle when I remember it, is when I drove a couple of my skater friends with Rudy Galindo to the local deli for lunch in the back of my mustang. (I was the only one old enough to drive, and had a car.) At the time Rudy was skating junior pairs with Kristi Yamaguchi. (She was there, but didn't fit in the car. We already crammed 4 into it Oh well.) Good times.

Laurie, I love your writing, having recently come across your blog.

Years ago (June 1, 1990 to be exact!) my stepdad took me to see the Chicago Cubs play the St Louis Cardinals at the old Busch Stadium in St Louis. We were standing outside the stadium when a limo pulled up and out stepped Harry Carey Sr., the play-by-play announcer for the Cubs on WGN tv. I would have loved to walk up to him but as soon as he got out of the car he was mobbed by lots of fans. That was huge for me, being a major Cubs fan.

My other siting was several years ago (sometime in the past 7 or 8 years). I was in the Raleigh-Durham airport and I saw alot of people looking and pointing at someone. When I turned to look I saw Rick Flair, the pro wrestler. Another neat moment, having watched wrestling on WTBS in the early 80's.

I need therapy now. His eyebrows scare me.

I saw Michael Fox in an elevator at a hotel in Baltimore about 10 years ago. I just stood there probably with a quizzical look on my face and he was grinning and I kept thinking, don't I know you? But of course I didn't. And he is really really really short! But cute. Very very very cute.

I rode on an elevator with Mr. Rogers once. I was working as a telemarketer for the PBS station in Pittsburgh where his show was done. He really does talk slowly and gently.

Well, he did - he's dead now. This was back when he was alive. Obviously.

i had such a crush on him in Other Side of the Mountain.

my dog has a thing for the christmas tree. i think he wants to pee on it. grrr.

Living in SoCal for almost 40 years, I've seen, spoken to, or met loads of celebs. My husband works for ABC/Disney, and ditto for him. (Stephen King said hi to him last month.) One of the most surreal experiences was being in Houston for the big quilt show in 1997 and having drinks at the Four Seasons with friends. Suddenly everyone stops talking and looks at someone standing behind me. It was Bruce Willis and his entourage. I once was next to Billy Crystal at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, upstairs at Wolfgang Puck's. I resisted the urge to say, "You...look...mahvelous!" He and his wife are teeny tiny people.

I have met several bands that I'm sure no one here listens to.(audioslave? Disturbed?) I met a penthouse playmate. Or maybe it was a bunny or something? Not sure. And there are a bunch of famous people in my family apparently. I'm somehouw distantly related to Bob Newhart. And Bill Murray is somehow related to me as well. (oddly enough, I've never met either one of them!) I was pretty much starstruck everytime!

*and of course, one time, I met this totally awesome chick, Laurie Perry! She was sSOOOO adorable! And I made her a creepy transporter collage!

No celeb-sightings for me. My mother tells the story of the time she and her friends were on a train trip from Indianapolis to N.Y.C. for the Bicentennial celebration and spoke with Eddie Albert's (Green Acres) chauffeur outside a restaurant in Philadelphia. I tell her that's the lame-est celeb sighting on the planet.

Same thing happened to me. I was in Barnes and Noble, and this guy was there with his kids. I kept thinking, "Where do I know that guy from?" Then, his wife came around the corner, and I realized that it was John Mellencamp and Elaine Irwin. Another time I was at a buddhist event and saw this cute guy across the room. I freaked out (inside) when I realized it was Richard Gere. . .

Garth Brooks at the KMart in Goodlettsville. He was getting into his truck, and I thought--like everyone else says--"That guy looks familiar. . ." He made eye contact, and I realized who he was and blushed thirteen shades of ruby. I couldn't have talked to him if I tried.

Oh. In New York City, my family and I were eating at the kind of restaurant most of us can't afford, but hey, it was vacation, so we were. You know, the kind with the fixed menu that approaches $100 per person (and that's before you add the wine). Julia Louis-Dreyfus, whom I would not have noticed but sort of vaguely recognized when she was pointed out, was at the next table with four other women, two of whom had their hair dyed very bright, unnatural shades. Apparently the one with (bright, Crayola) red hair was the woman who did costumes for Sex and the City. I wouldn't know, but that's what someone said.

We didn't do or say anything, because apparently it is SO UNCOOL in New York to actually let on that you NOTICE someone famous, and we didn't want to look like a bunch of hick Midwestern tourists. Even though we were. And probably everyone there could tell we were. And if Julia Louis-Dreyfus even looked at us long enough, she probably could tell we noticed her. But I doubt we even registered on her radar.

mcKay - I had such a huge crush on him in the Other Side of the Mountain too! I didn't think anyone else even remembered that movie.

Lucky you I like him. Love his movies...

Was his incredibly hot son Jordan with him?

Those Bridge Bros are EVERYWHERE. They used to have a cabin at Bear Valley (up off of Hwy 4, not Big Bear. Well, they might have one in Big Bear too, but I only know about Bear Valley. Why yes, I am sleep deprived, why do you ask?)
Anyway, we used to see them there all the time with their families.
I guess it mostly means they're very down to earth right? So you TOTALLY could've taken a pix of him in Whole Foods and I be he would've totally been down with it.
