Walking up 1st Ave and 58th street at 6:30 last night (wednesday) with my head down just looking at feet so i would know when to zig or zag to avoid someone - when I saw an ankle with a monitoring bracelet on it. looked up and sure enough it's Martha Stewart. She's taller than I thought she'd be and she was chatting with some women in a car who was saying she was a driver and could take her. Martha was smiling at her, holding a cell phone, and made some comment about her driver being late.
Sun, jul 17, just got home from bette. for two hours, nicole kidman sat across from me with a much older man, pretty decent looking, strikingly similar to steve bing but i couldn't tell for sure. She looked amazing.
Spotted Tom Wolfe in his signature whites rushing along at 2nd Avenue near 34th Street today, which if memory serves was where Sherman McCoy ended up at the end of "Bonfires of the Vanities."
Walking with my dinner companion Tuesday evening (jul 12) i saw Kiera Knightly browsing shops in Soho. this is my second Kiera sighting in as many days. She was with the same older woman she was with the last time I saw her, wearing some boho chic get up - pretty awful boots, some Sari-like get up, and many layers of shirts/scarves. Still, she's beautiful. Tried to eavesdrop on her convo, but my friend was more polite and kept us moving.
Then today I saw Darryl Hannah wearing rolled-up denim capris, walking her bike up the east side of Union Square. She's gorgeous, and looks eerily like Nicolette Sheridan.
Saw Anna Paquin at The Boat in Cobble Hill tonight (jul 14). Cute in that real girl sort of way and she seemed to be far realer and down to earth than the Columbia posse she was with, including a loud blonde and a white guy in a polo who used "I feel you" again and again to connote conversational agreement. We were there for about an hour, and while she accompanied her smoking friends outside at one point, she satisfied herself with a solitary drag off one of their cigs. She excused herself to the Ms. Pac Man table to make or take a call about fifteen minutes before we left and she was still engrossed when we departed.
Was walking down Columbia St. in Carroll Gardens West at around 10 o'clock last night when Heath Ledger and a not very pregnant-looking Michelle Willams came weaving down the sidewalk on their bikes. Heath was whistling the wicked witch of the west song and sort of gave us a stare down.
Standing near 6th and Washington today I saw the ultimate pregnant hipster, Michelle Williams walking with her good ol' Creek buddy Joshua Jackson. She: hair up, sunglasses, cute blue and red peasant dress that was just long enough to not be tacky. They walked west a couple of blocks, and about 5 minutes later he came back by himself.
We were at A Salt & Battery on Greenwich Ave. on 7/3, around 8pm, and Mike Myers walked in. He was wearing a blue t-shirt, jeans, and some house slippers. He appeared a bit dishevelled. He is much thinner and shorter in person, and he seems pretty reserved. Since we were the only customers in there besides him, we asked for his autograph. He popped outside for a few minutes, then he came back in to pick up his order. On his way out, he wished us a good vacation in New York. Nice guy.
Wed. 7/13/05, 7pm—I was waiting for my boyfriend outside the Angelika at Mercer & W. Houston and saw Denis Leary with his wife and kids, waiting to cross the street. He was wearing brown cargo pants, brown striped button-down shirt, and tinted glasses. He is hot in a decrepit Mass-hole way. The hockey hair still works, even at his age. Wife had short blond suburban soccer-mom haircut and kids looked like regular teenagers. Looked like they were going somewhere for a nice family dinner.
Sam Shepard, spotted on the corner of Broadway and Waverly Pl. Looking very much the True Western playwright type in jeans, Western shirt and leather vest.
Nobu bathroom tues jul 12 I bumped into Dr. Melfi herself, Lorraine Bracco looking beautiful in an all white suit.
Yesterday, (7/13) saw Clive Owen at Starbucks on 9th and 15th. His hair looked a little lighter than I would have expected, and he had awful, tapered leg Prada Sport jeans on (complete with a red tag on the ankle), but still undeniably sexy!
saw jimmy fallon yesterday (7/13) around 9:30 am on Gramercy Park South earing really tight jeans, gren t-shirt, sunglasses and perfectly gelled hair (was walking right next to him)....really tall/ pretty blonde walking small dog ran up to him yelling "Jimmy, welcome back! How are you feeling?"
Last night (7/15) at WXOU Radio: Michael C. Hall (David from Six Feet Under ) with his cute blonde wife and a male friend. He is surprisingly buff and surprisingly hot in person. I mean, he s no Keith, but he can still ram his embalming fluid down my throat anytime he wants, if you know what I m sayin .
Friday, July 15, 2 PM saw Bebe Neuwirth on her cell phone in the lobby of that insidious mall at Columbus Circle that we all say we avoid but go to anyway. Jeans, t-shirt, cool sneakers this woman looked seriously hot. Was gonna look her up and see her age but I'd rather not know.
Tatum O'Neal looking very aged dining with a large group including Thom, the bit oversized one, from the Fab 5 at La Bottega saw Matt Dillon at the Dinosaur Jr./Broken Social Scene show in Central Park last night (7/14). My friend told me that he directed a couple of their early videos. Also rocking out at the show was Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.
last night (thursday) at Cafe Luxembourg on the UWS, we were at a table near Caroline Rhea. She looked completely un-New York in this bright blue floral dress and neon-blue scarf/sash, and she was shuffle-teetering around the restaurant as if she either had shoes that were too small or a raging case of untreated chlamydia. She kept smiling all dopey-like, and I'm thinking she was either drunk or completely overmedicated. The guy she was with was totally hot, and looked embarrassed to be seen with her.
Ran into Monica Lewinsky (alone) at the Wedding Crashers 9pm showing at Loews Cineplex Saturday night.
corner of East 4th & 2nd Ave I saw Jack White. The way he was hunched over, I think somebody needs to check that guy for scoliosis.
Last night (Wed 7/13), my friend and I saw Anderson Cooper sashay his way into the "secret" Scissor Sisters show at Mercury Lounge. He must have came straight from work as he was wearing a suit.
Walking home yesterday evening (7/13), saw Zac Posen sitting outside on Jane St between Greenwich & Washington. He was on his cell phone, green polo shirt with the collar popped. I totally slowed down to stare and he gave me a straight-guy nod. Faker.
While walking down 50th street by Rock Center, spotted a very average looking dude with floppy reddish hair, in tapered-leg jeans, on a cellphone, getting out of an SUV. Nothing special until he stands upright—about 9 feet tall—and I realize it's Conan O'Brien. Not exactly subtle at disguising my recognition of him, I proceed to ogle, and he sees me staring and gives me a little wave of hello (more like a "hey, can you stop staring at me?"). He then proceeds to amble his 9-foot frame into the building, tottering on his skinny legs, which, clad in his slightly too short tapered-leg jeans, give him a last-guy -picked-in-gym-class kind of jovial dorkiness. Nice guy.
Tues jul 12 @ Nobu: Steve Nash dribbled in with 2 beautiful blondes and another female.
Saw Leah Kedebe, the Ethiopian Supermodel on July 13th in front of the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking district. She was with her husband and getting into an SUV surrounded by two cops with horses (didn t know horse cops offer protection). She was pregnant too, you could see her belly. But they were really nice, my husband is Ethiopian and they saw us walking past and her husband stuck his head out the window to say hi to us.
