Bravo's Andy Cohen Swoops Into Town To Bask In The Oscar Glow
Bravo's Andy Cohen—by day, the network's mild-mannered Senior Vice President of Production and Programming, by night, dishy bloggeur extraordinaire—walks among us, as his latest entry provides a detailed seating chart of a recent New York-L.A. flight, chock full of B-list stars hitting town for some Oscar-weekend magic:
It was OscarMania (tm?) onboard my American Airlines flight to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. In First, we had Regis and Joy, Natasha Richardson, Ellen Barkin, and Ted Danson. For anybody not in First, or those who didn't know who was onboard, a very ChitChatty Ponytailed Air Hostess with much "flair" (the TGIFridays kind) basically went seat-to-seat letting all passengers know who was onboard, with a verbal printout of everybody's most up-to-date IMDB profile - including stuff in development, and what was going on up there. [...]
There was a dinner at Mr. Chow featuring Steve Martin, Gina Gershon, Courtney Love, Lauren Hutton, Cindy Williams, and Linda Evangalista - who was seated next to my friend and I at dinner. I am, naturally, kidding about Cindy Williams being there; it wouldn't have taken me 18 paragraphs to get to that tidbit.
While ChitChatty Cohen's Shirley Feeney sighting may have been a ringer, we can guarantee with some certainty that the rest of Andy's tales of famous friends new and old were the real thing. We can only hope the boldfaced names scattered across Andy's Blog grow only bolder in the hours leading up to Oscars, when Andy—who makes no mention of having tickets to the main event, but one never knows with Andy, does one?—penetrates the most exclusive Oscar parties, then stumbles drunkenly back to his hotel room to bang out a post about the experience of urinating next to Tom Cruise.
