Cynthia Nixon's hair explicated! "So, yes. Sex and the City is filming in front of the Bryant Park Hotel. Complete clusterfuck, especially for those of us who couldn't care less. Cynthia Nixon's hair is styled to look like some sort of ski slope, and Sarah Jessica Parker couldn't be less attractive. They seem to be filming the wedding reception scene since SJP is tromping around in that hideous veil....."
A boatload of staffers (27 of 'em!) have been suspended at the Palisades Medical Center in New Jersey, where George Clooney and his galpal were taken after ending up on the crap side of some illegal road maneuvers. Apparently the staffers' inner gossip queens couldn't resist taking a peek into Clooney's medical file, thus violating patient privacy laws. In a statement today, Clooney told reporters, "While I very much believe in a patients [sic] right to privacy, I would hope that this could be settled without suspending medical workers." Aww. You tell 'em, Dr. Ross. But weird, right? We sort of figured his previously stated opinions on privacy would trump any other concerns! Perhaps we underestimated him.
Brooklyn Heights was the scene of a terrible tragedy on Saturday night, when the shooting of the new Coen brothers movie with George Clooney and Brad Pitt at Clinton and State streets somehow took out the cable T.V. in local buildings. Reports a resident: With no T.V. to soothe the masses, the streets were filled with "throngs of otherwise too-good-for-celebrity stalking parents camped out with their children for a sighting. Street reporting revealed nobody had gotten one but I did spot one five or six year old boy, bent-legged on the sidewalk, head resting in his small hands and asleep. I'm calling child welfare...."
Last night's "CSI: Miami" featured, alongside the "block of wood" acting stylings of David Caruso, a major plot point centered around something called "StalkWalker," which may remind you of our very own Gawker Stalker! This is actually Gawker Stalker's second appearance on a "CSI" franchise—this, if you're scoring at home, means it only needs to feature on the Las Vegas iteration of that show to tie My Cock for appearances. My Cock has been on all three "Law & Order" series in various guises (our particular favorite was the "Criminal Intent" episode where a character craftily-named "My Dick" almost stabbed Annabella Sciorra to death). Anyway, enjoy!
After our post went up with the information that Hills "stars" Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port were in town for Fashion Week, a reader reported that Lauren was spotted at Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village this weekend, "I think Monday." Also: Lauren "had a very large hickey she wasn't hiding, but perfect make-up and eyeliner." And a black quilted leather Chanel tote bag, and a billowy white sundress. Very interesting. The photos follow.
God, they weren't kidding about poor Mischa Barton moving to Jersey. Last night, from the mailbag: "Mischa Barton at A&P supermarket in Jersey City right now... she is buying stacks of Lunchables snack packs." We wrote back: "OH COME ON." Stalker: "True! She's with an older woman... her mother maybe?" Youch.
From the mailbag: "honestly, i hate to even egg these girls on, but i just saw lauren conrad and the other blonde girl from 'the hills' and a brunette one as well, in the elevator at conde. they were all talking about paparazzi, of course. got off on the teen vogue floor where a camera crew was waiting. gag."
The date: May 30th
The time: 11p.m.
The place: La Esquina, 106 Kenmare Street
Sighted: Zach Braff hanging out with an attractive petite blonde babe at the end of the bar at La Esquina
The date: May 24th 2:30am
The place: 201 Park Avenue South
Sighted: Derek Jeter at the Underbar at the W Union Square. He was with a couple of dudes and about seven whorish looking women. They cleared out the bar and moved the furniture out of the middle of the room, we suspect for stripper-poles. As we were getting the boot, we saw a tall beautiful woman in a white blouse (who he had been chatting up for 30 minutes prior) stomp out of the bar and say, "I'm not a prostitute, I'm so out of here!"
Since time immemorial, or since maybe 2004, we have received missives from a person called The Earl Grey. As frequently as possible, we print these letters as a service to society.
Ah, springtime in New York City! The time when we all come out of our homes and offices and spend time walking around on the street. Sometimes we run into people we know. Often they're friends from college or former coworkers or people we met in a bar once, but other times, the reason these people look so familiar is because they are famous stars of stage and screen. Here's how to report this latter variety of run-in to us, via email, so that we may later post it on our apparently oh-so-controversial Gawker Stalker Map.
On Friday night, Jimmy Kimmel guest-hosted Larry King Live on CNN. It was a very special episode about how the paparazzi and the media make the lives of celebrities just so difficult. He had a bone to pick with Gawker editor Emily Gould—apparently, a sighting had appeared on our Gawker Stalker map last June which seemed to catch the former Man Show host (who, let's remember, rose to fame on a show that featured him drinking beer throughout) "visibly drunk and talking loud." How unethical of Gawker to defame Kimmel's character by publishing this sighting without editing or fact-checking it, or even asking Kimmel's publicist for the requisite heartfelt denial! At first Emily thought that Kimmel was kidding about being so upset. He informed her that it wasn't funny. It's weird how people who are professionally "funny" often have no sense of humor! Anyway, Kimmel was so weirdly peeved that he told Emily that she was going to hell, cut her off midsentence all O'Reilly-style a bunch of times, and discussed the likelihood that "Emily's web site" would soon be shut down by the lawyers of angry celebrities.
"What makes me really sick is how New York now looks like a bad imitation of Sex and the City. Meatpacking is a good example of just how fucked up it is. You can't have a city that's interesting where the only people living in it are rich," Chris Noth told New York mag, echoing his earlier anti-Meatpacking sentiments—you know, the ones we recently used to justify breaking our ban on stalker sightings of the hounddog-eyed 'star.' He's repetitive, yes, but the thing is, he just gets righter! We hereby officially lift the ban. But when you send your sightings, make sure not to identify Noth by his Sex and the City moniker, 'cause he totally hates that: "When people call me 'Mr. Big,' I can't help feeling a kind of contempt."
Big Regrets from Former Mr. Big [NYMag]
Since time immemorial—or May, 2005—Gawker has largely banned any mention of former Sex and the City star Chris Noth. This may have been cruel; it certainly was not senseless. Chris Noth is a man who likes to leave his house. He may not even have a house. He is a man who enjoys a drink with a pal, or, more likely, a pal who drinks. He is a man who likes to work out at Crunch, or at least he was. His giant head is extremely recognizable and stalkable. Law and Order: Criminal Intent or whatever the fuck it's called doesn't keep him that busy. And now we have perhaps erred by posting a recent Gawker Stalker sighting of the fella, for the first time in ages.
When we saw this creepy cel phone picture of Steve Buscemi on the Daily Slope message board (that venerable repository of organic baby food debates), we had a shock of familiarity — we'd seen it before, in our very own tipline. But we hadn't posted it, because, well, ick. (Also, our map doesn't extend to Brooklyn — so, while we love hearing what cute thing Heath and Michelle have gotten up to, we're not capable of publicizing it. Make a note of it.) But 'Cabaki' didn't stop at going the extra mile to share her Buscemi shot with the world. She also went on to share her lifetime laundry list of the celebs she's spotted. It includes Kelly Ripa, Jimmy Fallon, Ethan Hawke, Sarah Jessica Parker, and "mr. big (chris noth) from sex and the city TWICE."
In this edition of the stalk: Judith Regan and Rush Limbaugh, Bono and Sean Penn, Tinsley Mortimer at Krispy Kreme, Julia Stiles, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Brokaw, Brittany Murphy, Helena Christensen and Michael Stipe, Ralph Fiennes, Helen Mirren, Taylor Hackford, Lizzie Grubman, Harvey Weinstein, Hillary Swank, Paulina Porizkova, Barbara Bush, Hope Davis, Kool Keith, Rachel Dratch, Jackson Pollis, Ellen Barkin and Ralph Fiennes (again), Andy Samberg, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, Claire Danes, John Waters, Tony Bennett, Michael Jordan and Charles Oakley, Stephen Baldwin, Ben Stiller, Yoko Ono, and, breaking our steadfast reality show contestant ban, a delicious Project Runway sighting.
In this under-the-wire edition of the Stalk: Chelsea Clinton A and Chelsea Clinton B, Tom Green, Kate Bosworth, Rudy Giuliani, Cameron Diaz, Heather Graham, Alan Alda and Josh Hartnett, Will Smith, Mariska Hargitay, Kareem Abdul Jabaar, Ivanka Trump, Gretchen Mol, Bob Balaban, Jorge Posada, Jerry Stiller, Paulina Porzikova, George Hamilton, and, keeping Mike Meyers out of the basement, Ricky Martin in Brooklyn.
You know what? It's cool that the cast of Saturday Night Live lives in New York and all, but unless you spot them lying in a gutter in a puddle of their own vom, we don't want to hear about it. And that proclamation goes triple for SNL alum Mike Myers, who's been spotted with Nothian frequency lately sporting a new accessory in place of his regulation hockey stick: a "a much-younger looking blond hipster-y ladyfriend," or, alternatively, " a much younger blond girl. She was just ok." Let's open our eyes a little bit wider, people. Look beyond Myers and set your sights on more exotic celeb prey. Also, while we're on the topic, let's all just accept as a given that models are pretty, old people tend to look old, and everyone is shorter in person. Especially Peter Dinklage.
In this Old Skool edition of the Stalk: Kate Bosworth, Barbara Bush, Anna Wintour, Katie Couric and Matt Lauer, Anne Hathaway, Jimmy Fallon and Sienna Miller, Graydon Carter, Julianne Moore and Ralph Fiennes, Kelly Ripa, Famke Janssen, Mario Batali, Sacha Baron Cohen and Rachel Weisz, Harvey Keitel, Brooke Shields, Keri Russell, Sam Champion, Ron Perelman, Claire Danes, Christina Ricci, Mo Rocca, Gabriel Byrne, Al Roker, Peter Dinklage, Mandy Montoya, Denis Leary, and Merill Bobolit, whoever that is.
