    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.

    Yes, I watched the Soul Train Awards

    I came upstairs to "loan" my friend and neighbor, Kim, some white wine. She was watching The Soul Train Awards and I could not walk away. This is easily the worst award show I have ever seen. Hands down. Five reasons:

    1. Almost everyone who won was not there. Beyonce wasn't there. Mary J Blige was not there. Hell, Kirk Franklin even had something else to do. Maybe you should think about changing the date guys!

    2. When Jermaine Dupri won a Lifetime Achievement Award he pulled out his white sidekick, that matched with his white suit, and read his speech. We were in shock. Did he really read his speech off of his sidekick? Yes folks, he did.

    3. 50% of the presenters were random people you have never heard of. Everytime they called someone's name, Kim and I kept asking each other, "Who is that?" It's nice that they are bringing attention to black folk you've never heard of but you know, if they had the show on a night when folks could attend, that might help things.

    4. Every performance got a standing ovation. Omarion, Marques Houston, everyone.

    5. Jennifer Hudson was the most famous person there and at every commercial break, they would mention it.
