· Friday, I was at lunch with a friend at Baluchi's, the Indian place on Second Avenue & 6th Street, and Britney Spears was at the table next to ours with her mother (?) and a friend, a brunette w/ a southern accent. My friend and I were the only other people in the restaurant besides Britney — her body guards probably chose the place b/c it was empty. After her lunch, body guards ushered Britney into a big black GMC Yukon, sheilding Britney from onlookers (there were none) with a black umbrella.
· The Burger Guy was sighted at the [Conde Nast cafeteria] grill today. I guess he has learned all there is to know about making pasta.
· Whoopie Goldberg on Prince at Wooster. She looked sullen and wore those little sunglasses she wears. I also thought I saw a walking stick, but it was only a leaf. Finally, knock-off Murakami LV bags have made it to Canal Street.
