    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.

    I knew Fergie bothered me

    From The Huffington Post:

    The 32-year-old Black Eyed Peas singer is the first global star to consent to product placement in her songs - agreeing to include the provocative clothing line Candie's in her lyrics.

    While other artists routinely drop in name brands into their songs or even accept fees to show products in videos, the musician born Stacy Ann Ferguson, who once ripped it up as a child star on "Kids Incorporated," is making history by blurring the lines between jingle and pop song.

    Under the deal with Candie's, a skimpy, teen-oriented clothing line, Fergie will be appearing in TV advertisements and also allowing Candie's "style advisers" to dress up fans at her shows. On the Candie's Web site (where the Fergie agenda is endorsed, noting "It's all about the flossy, flossy"), a video of the Californian singer appears prominently on what they call "C-Tube."

    While Fergie was on tour last week, her advisers said such product placement marked the future of music.

    If this is the future of music, I am going to shoot myself.  It's bad enough that we have to deal with product placement in movies.  I have tolerance for that because a lot of people could not make their films without it.  Songs is just a bit too far.  Just watching Jay Z's Show Me What You Got car commercial ... I mean video ... really irritated me.  This is too far.

    And they've been doing it for a while, haven't they? What about Hilary Duff's single "With Love", which also happens to be the same name of her perfume brand and the song which plays in the TV ad? So tacky, I think.

    That last comment was actually by me not Ore. I'm using Ore's computer, that's why.
