1/28 — I was at the Beverly Center food court last night having an overpriced Haagen Dazs with my pretty Indian date, fighting the urge to bring up Slumdog Millionaire because I'm sure a bunch of white guys like me have already used it as a lame conversation piece, when I see PETER JACKSON eating KFC for dinner with his wife and some other woman. He was nursing one of those bowls that looks like something a dog would turn down. I wonder if he valeted or parked across the street at the Beverly Connection like me...

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Kevin McDonald
STV · 01/29/09 04:19PM
1/28 — Saw KEVIN MCDONALD (Kids in the Hall, fool!) at the Arclight on Sunset. He was wearing jeans and T-shirt, and fiddling on his phone. Looking kind of old, but I guess he sort of is? I didn't rush up to him and ask for a Sir Simon impression, just gazed adoringly from afar. No one else seemed to notice, but maybe they're just not into Canadian sketch comedy. Their loss, though, amirite? [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]
