Celebrity Sightings

June 10th, 2007

Now that I don’t live in Los Angeles I probably won’t have anymore celebrity sightings, which is one thing I’ll actually miss about that city. These are the few sightings I had during my four years living in LA, arranged chronologically (earliest listed first):

  1. Vince Vaughn — I spotted him and then followed him around for awhile at The Grove. He kept turning around and giving me dirty looks. Probably because I was stalking him.
  2. Geoffrey Rush — Spotted him during the same trip to The Grove. (I didn’t stalk him, though.)
  3. Luke Wilson — he entered Cuban restaurant Versailles while I was eating there. He also looked like shit, as if he hadn’t slept or showered in 3 days.
  4. Molly Shannon — in the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf on Robertson. We held the door open for her and her infant child; she seemed pretty nice.
  5. Paris Hilton — outside some fancy shops on Robertson, surrounded by hordes of paparazzi and flashes…looking clueless as ever.
  6. Viggo Mortensen — at Empenada Place, ordering in Spanish(!).
  7. Annoying and Ugly — I don’t know her name, but she’s the Indian girl from The Office. Saw her at the Arclight.
  8. Tara Reid — at the restaurant El Compadre. She looked pretty coherent so she must not yet have started boozing.


I’m Famous!

AOL came across my online photo album and must have liked what they saw. So much so, apparently, that they selected one of my photos — one from my Thailand album — to feature on their AOL Pictures homepage. Here is a screenshot I grabbed:
