    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.

    The Same Old Thing

    A funny quote from the Times about award season. The Times has gotten snarkier lately. I think they are hiring younger writers:

    As the awards season lumbers toward the Oscars, you can almost envision what might happen when the Academy Awards are finally given out on Feb. 25. Forest Whitaker will fumble for words and mumble; Eddie Murphy will robotically deliver his list of industry thanks; Jennifer Hudson will work in a hokey use of the word “dream”; and Helen Mirren will pay tribute to the actual queen.

    I actually am not sure Eddie Murphy is going to win the Academy Award. I'm not sure why I think this but I do. Jennifer Hudson and Helen Mirren, yeah, that's all locked up!

    Maybe it's bad to feel this way, but I just want Forrest Whitaker to get it together enough to string a coherent sentence together. I've seen him in interviews and he's quite articulate. And I don't think Murphy's gonna win either. Plus, I didn't think he was so great.

    I agree about Forest. At first it was endearing. He was shocked at the Golden Globes. But now it feels a bit weird. I know it's not an act but when you see it two times, it feels that way. Please Forest, just sit down and write something for the Academy Awards. It's not bad luck. You are going to win. Just do it. For me.

    See Tucker- I am not the only one disturbed by his seemingly neurological disorder presence- I just don't get it- he's fine when he does an interview on lifetime about how brilliant Sandra Bullock is! ;)
