    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.

    Have you seen this poster?

    Pride_posterbig
    This poster has fascinated me for a while now. I have seen it all over Chelsea, a neighborhood in New York with a large gay male population. They have been really promoting this film to the gay community and I am unclear if it is because it is a swimming movie with a lot of half naked men or if there is a gay-themed storyline in the film. Not sure.

    At the same time, the film is also being heavily promoted in largely black communities. I get why they are doing that. It stars Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac so there will already be a decent turnout for that reason alone. Time will tell how successful this campaign is. I am not sure I am going to see Pride. It looks a bit too cheesy for the big screen. I might have to Netflix it.

    Oh girl...it's not even worth taking up space on your Netflix queue. I saw a preview for it. It's a movie we've seen a MILLION times before and it sounds horribly written. "ON YOUR MARK!" Terrence says as one glycerin tear glides down his face.

    Netflix sounds about right. I saw this trailer a few months ago and thought a black swim team was an interesting topic...still do. A black hockey team would be intriguing as well. I think cheesy's a good description. I see something like this as an after school special. I use to LOVE after school specials. Do they still do those?

    My first thought when I saw this poster? Honestly?

    "PRIDE? More like GAY PRIDE."

    I'd watch it if it came on TV, but I can't see myself going to the theater to check it out.

    That campaign has perplexed me too. I would stare at the poster and the homoerotic imagery was confusing. Come to find out it is really a very positive movie about a black swim team! Go figure since it wasn't obvious from the visual advertising. Not sure who created that poster but if no one has has told you ... it sux! Big time. Had I not seen the trailer I would not know what the moive was about.
