    Take Action

    Celebrity Sightings

    • Christina Applegate and Chole Sevigny
      at the BWE 100th episode party. They are both so blonde. That color blonde that does not exist in real life but only with chemical enhancement. They're beautiful though.
    • Melba Moore
      in the airport in Nairobi, Kenya! We smiled at each other over Nescafe (aka coffee).
    • Parker Posey
      at Murray's Bagels. She looked really punk rock.
    • Jessica Lange and Sam Shephard
      at A History of Violence at Cinema Village. They were so cute and followed us everywhere from the movies to Cedar Tavern and back to the movies. They probably thought we were following them.
    • Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe
      pushing their baby down 13th Street. I was having a meeting at Cosi around the corner from my overcrowded office. I looked out the window and there they were. They stopped in front of my window and were doing the, who should take the baby conversation. I was trying to listen to the person talking to me but I could not and she was not the type of person who would understand my distraction by these celebs. They are both really attractive but almost too much so. His sneakers were new. His jeans were new. It was weird. I like imperfection.
    • Joshua Redman
      running on 18th Street. I realized that I've seen him many times before and just did not realize it. He was smaller than I thought he's be but I guess most people are.
    • Patti Smith
      which was not a big deal to me but my friend Marina apparently sees her all the time. This was her fourth sighting. I said she should say something like, "I see you everywhere. We should hang out." Marina wouldn't take the bait.
    • Leonardo DiCaprio
      with Isha on our way to the PATH station on 9th Street and 6th Ave. He is very tall but as my friend says, one cheeseburger away from being fat. His bodyguard "subtely" was wearing a jogging suit next to him. I guess they exercise together. He wasn't so hot to me but another girl flipped out when she saw him so what do I know.
    • Sam Rockwell and Liev Schreiber
      on New Year's Eve but you gotta buy me a few drinks to hear that story.
    • John Turturro
      in Union Square looking tall and handsome. I’ve always had a strange little crush on him.

    Danger Mouse

    Listen to an interview with him on Hammer Museum’s podcasts. Danger Mouse is a DJ/producer who did the second Gorillaz album, is half of Gnarles Barkley and has done a bunch of other stuff. I find DJs and Producers so interesting. The amount of creativity it requires is pretty mind blowing. I adore the new Gnarles Barkley (As does everyone. It makes me so sad that I walk into Banana Republics and it is playing. I feel the same way about Corinne Bailey Rae. When I was in South Africa, she was huge there. I felt so special. I thought I was going to introduce her to the US. Then I got back to Brooklyn and her face was on the side of every building in Crown Heights. Geez, I'm so mainstream.) Danger Mouse gains so much inspiration from so many different things and hearing him talk about it is pretty interesting. I love hearing people talk about their craft. Plus I love that Danger Mouse can not read or write music.

    I love the Hammer Museum’s podcasts because they are have great talks with fascinating artists. They are more conversations with different folks. Some great past ones are Miranda July & George Saunders, David Foster Wallace, Stacyanne Chin & Jeff Chang.

    I recently went to The Hammer Museum when I was visiting my friends, Sharon & Rey. The museum itself is kind if mediocre. That was sort of disappointing. But whoever curates their speaker series ROCKS!

    Yeah, DangerMouse is dope. I feel you, when something that you were hip to a long time ago suddenly becomes a commercial success it makes you feel weird.

    You shouldn't be disappointed that you're listening to something that's "mainstream". You should pat yourself on the back because you're ahead of the curve and/or you didn't need the hype machine's help to like someone's stuff.

    Personally, I'm a big Cee-Lo fan, so I was drawn to this as soon as I heard that he was involved, but after listening to the album, I think I really want to hear The Gray Album. Like, now.

    I downloaded it and it is AMAZING! You can get it here: http://www.illegal-art.org/audio/grey.html
    You need Bit Torrent to get it. You have to love Jay Z because it is more Jay Z than The Beatles but since I do, I adore it.
