· Passed Samuel L. Jackson getting a muthafuckin traffic ticket in muthafuckin Laurel Canyon (at Lookout) this morning (1-5) at 8 a.m.

· Saw Quentin Tarantino at the Arclight last night after the late showing of Pan's Labyrinth. Don't know if he was at our screening. Paparazzi started blasting away as soon as he got outside. Best part was seeing him drive off in a yellow Mustang with black racing stripes, similar to that of the Pussy Wagon.

· It was quite a night at Social Hollywood. Justin Timberlake, in a light collared shirt underneath a charcoal cardigan sweater and jeans, dancing with an older, not-so-attractive, definitely-not-Cameron-Diaz woman. She was in her 40's with curly, blondy-brown hair and wearing a totally soccer mom-like, tri-colored knit sweater. If she wasn't semi-dirty dancing with him on the edge of the dance floor, I would have totally thought it was his mom....um, I think that the older, gyrating woman was indeed Mother Timberlake. Ten minutes later, Scarlett Johansson (black boots over skinny jeans, dark vest over a white shirt, platinum hair in a high ponytail and bright red lipstick) walks into the club alone and makes a bee-line to Justin and his entourage. JT stops dancing with his mom to talk to her. While the two weren't exactly canoodling, they looked pretty friendly and were still talking and laughing together when we left. Scarlet doesn't stand out at all, she short and has a very average face and body. Props to the DJ who played Dick In the Box as the last-call song.

Also, not nearly as interesting, but there was also a solid group of B-List sightings at Social last night; Taryn Manning, Kevin Connelly, Beau Garrett and Olivia Wilde (the two hotties from Turistas—thanks IMDB!), Chris Marquette and Shawn Hatosy (JT's costars in Alpha Dog) and a brooding Shane West.

· Went to the Alpha Dog after party last night (1-3) and saw
* Paris Hilton flirting with Justin Timberlake ( who could have cared less)
* Amanda Seyfried downing shot after shot with Dominique Swain & Olivia Wilde.
* Olivia Wilde later dirty dancing with Lucas Haas ( thought she was married?)
* Emile Hirsch hitting on every single girl at the party

· 1/1/2007 - I'm not sure if it's too late for New Year's Day spottings, but I have a pretty decent one for you. A friend and I spotted Philip Seymour Hoffman waiting for takeout at Village Pizzeria on Larchmont. Apparently, even Oscar winners eat away their hangovers like the rest of us. He looked extremely scruffy, sporting a very thick beard, glasses, and baggy clothes. He was not shying away from attention either, speaking very loudly on his cellphone outside. No one really seemed to notice him except us. After getting his food, he hopped into his inconspicuous black Volvo and sped away picking his nose. Good times.

· Saw Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling at the Los Angeles Central Library lobby at the Information Desk around 1:30pm on Thursday Jan 4th. She's cute (hence why I noticed her) and shorter than I imagined. Both were dressed like normal folk and easily blended in with the library crowd.

· Saw older than Methuselah Sumner Redstone and wife (plus another couple) at Angelini Osteria tonight. Bad wig, bad posture, dowdy Persian-looking housewife wife, but at least he had on a nice jacket. With that kinda dough, you'd think he'd buy a more expensive looking wife, too. Which, of course, kind of makes me admire the old coot all the same.

· driving on Beverly Dr. (north of Santa Monica Blvd), today (1/4) around 1PM. out of the corner of my eye, saw a woman on the sidewalk behaving strangely. she seemed very flustered, almost as if she was lost. realized it was Diane Keaton. she was wearing the trademark 'Diane Keaton' outfit: longish schoolmarm skirt, blouse w/sweater vest, round wire-framed glasses, sensible bob w/bangs. did not notice if she was wearing gloves. however, with shabbier outfit + less grooming, could easily have passed for 'crazy homeless lady'.

· sorry so late, this was a couple days before christmas, but saw Diana Ross at whole foods on fairfax. early - they had just opened - no make-up, looked good, really tiny. had little white dog with her in parking lot but left it outside with friend and came in. was pre-ordering a turkey. when i was at deli counter an employee came thru with white order form and gave it to the guy behind the counter and said "this is for miss ross". she then smiled at me and said "she orders all her turkeys here".

· On a Southwest Flight from San Jose to LAX Saturday evening (12/30). Noticed Elisha Cuthbert walking down the aisle during boarding. She looked totally cute, and I totally wanted her to sit in my row, and apparently I totally looked a little too obvious about all of this since she made a good solid 1/2 second of eye contact and then gave me the "wow... you a little eager over there buddy?" look. And then she walked on by. It's always a good ego boost to know an attractive actress would rather sit in the ass-end of a 25 year old econo-jet, smelling the bathroom stink, than sit with you in the exit row with two feet more leg-room. Happy New Year to me!

· 1/3- Heading in for my yearly mammo, and who is blocking the door talking on his cell phone but Michael Chiklis looking like a short, bald bulldog. He kindly got out of my way when I glared at him. I didn't see the woman he was waiting for who also was getting a mammo.

· This is a few days old, but I've been traveling without access to my computer. I saw Kathy Bates having dinner with an extremely handsome, somewhat younger man at Orso last Friday (the 29th). Kathy looked great, with some blonde highlights, and engaged her handsome dining companion in animated conversation. She left with a doggie bag! She's so frugal!

On New Year's Eve I saw Tia Carrere with her handsome husband and baby checking in with the hostess at the Chart House in Malibu. It was about 4:30, so they were having an early dinner with the kid. She was absolutely stunning and looked 10 years younger than her actual 44 years.

· Spotted Ron "Hellboy/The Beast" Perlman (and son, and carried-on dog) on my JetBlue flight from JFK to Burbank on New Year's Day. (I know what you're thinking—a famous guy flies The Blue? Hey, they have TV sets in the seats and shit. It's all classy-like.) The flight hit such a violent bump on the final approach to Burbank that when I saw Perlman claiming his bags at the carousel, I wanted to suggest that we meet every year on New Year's Day to discuss our emotionally scarring experience and keep this shared bond alive. But, of course, I didn't.

· The other day I saw Giovanni Ribisi with lady friend (maybe Danielle Rees the model - or other Zooey Deschanel look alike) at M Cafe on Melrose. She was wearing white shorts with black tights underneath and he was wearing a blue corduroy blazer and jeans. He has a shaved head with hairline receding. They were cute and sat on the same side of the table instead of across from one another. They left most of the food on their plates.

Also,

I saw Amber Tamblyn and friends at Borders in Westwood. She is quite petitein person.

· 12: 11 pm. Friday Jan 5: Right now at the Comfort Cafe in Silver Lake: John Cho of 'Harold and Kumar' fame, with a white towel slung over his right shoulder. I have absolutely no impulse to walk up to him and recite a memorable line from the White Castle movie.'

· Thursday, 1/4. The Grove. Doris Roberts from Everybody Loves Raymond emerged from the side elevator in the parking structure. She moves a lot faster than I expected. Totally looks like everybody's grandma—short stature, gigantic hair, penciled on eyebrows—except she possesses bionic speed.

· America "Ugly Betty" Ferrara twice over the holiday season? Once a smidge before Christmas at Cartier, wearing a LV bag and tiny TINY (surprisingly tiny) self wrapped up in coats? She is so pretty, and has teh nicest lips (I don't usually notice lips, but there they were. The second time was at LAX New Years Eve day. Wrapped in same warm warm attire.

· Last night at Marix... Ringing in the new queer with a handsome member of the West Hollywood wax museum, Bruce Vilanch was having dinner and some Marix Magic. Me with my seltzer, friends and table full of food were going over the holiday season, and just noticing Bruce when who of all people should glide by, but Jim J Bullock of Too Close for Comfort fame (is that still considered famous?). He looks much better than the last few times I have seen him. Fresh and fit (him, not me).

· I'm not sure if it is defamer worthy, but I ran into Crispin Glover tonight at TJ's in Silverlake - once when going for the greenbeans and then again reaching for the hummus - when he stared straight at me (I was all sweaty still from the gym and wearing a sequined stoli baby tee I got for free from a shot girl) I wanted to say "Crispin I love you - you crazy genuis" but instead I just stared like an idiot. He looked surprisingly normal, young and handsome. When I heard him on 103.1 before the holidays, I pictured him much differently. Definitely fuck-worthy - even if he is a freak.

· Jan 4 (18 hours ago) I'm not sure if this even counts as a legitimate celeb sighting considering I haven't seen him in anything recently, but Breckin Meyer was having lunch at Urth Cafe in West Hollywood on Wednesday, Jan. 3. His face is so recognizable, but it took me a while to come up with his name.

· Bob "I used to smoke crack" Saget on NYE up in Napa Valley doing what else, but winetasting. We instantly spotted him after leaving from our private tasting room at Quintessa and I grabbed him immediately to snap a shot while praising his work on both Entourage and the Aristocrats. Very nice guy, but confused why he didn't take the room we had and not sit with the masses, oh well, was my claim to fame the rest of the weekend

· Last night (1/2) I saw Project Runway Season Three ejectee Bradley Baumkirchner at the 7-11 on Silverlake Blvd. across from Spaceland. He was with a girl who had short bleached blonde hair. I know that's a pretty pathetic sighting, but we are talking east of Western Avenue. On this side of town, Huell Howser is a celebrity sighting.
