    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.

    American Gangster

    Sure, this movie looks like a high budget New Jack City but the trailer has me sold for the following reasons:

    1. T.I. is in it and my crush on him is HUGE!
    2. I love when Denzel Washington plays a villian.
    3. Ridley Scott is a good director ... most of the time.
    4. There is a whole lot of overacting going on and I am all for it.
    5. Russell Crowe is hit or miss but I get a good feeling about him in this film.
    6. They shot part of this on my block.
    7. Other crushes of mine in this film: Idris Elba, Josh Brolin and Chiwetel Ejiofor! (I'm too lazy to link to all of these people. Sorry!)
    8. I was just saying that I was shocked that they had not made a fiction film about Nicky Barnes. (He is featured in this film in a smaller role, played by Cuba Gooding Jr.)

    Pleeeaazzzeee gurl! I was all over this movie when I saw the POSTER for it in a movie theatre in CT. I'm going to need a release come November.

    If you want a film on the real story of Nicky Barnes (and a little light into Frank Lucas beyond the Hollywood story), you should check out the new documentary "Mr. Untouchable". It features the story from the man himself.

    It just played at the Urbanworld Film Festival - it should be in theaters in the fall right around the time American Gangster comes out. Here's the trailer:
