DOESN'T ALL THIS PINK MAKE YOUR TEETH HURT? |
||
 |
who? | Eric Stoltz |
| who?! | when were you exactly born? | |
| when? | same show as below | |
| where? | same place too | |
| comment: | now there's a movie star, if only he would get a movie or two | |
 |
who? | Sandra Oh |
| who?! | you might have seen her in "Sideways" bashing a guy's head with a biker helmet | |
| when? | screening of "The Leopard" by Luchino Visconti, our last week in LA | |
| where? | Nuart Theatre on Santa Monica | |
| comment: | had some noisy friends with her who mistook a movie theatre for a gym, Eric Stoltz sat one row behind them not making any fuss about it, eating his popcorn | |
 |
who? | Michael Rapaport (again) |
| who?! | oh, c'mon, you know Mikey | |
| when? | whenever | |
| where? | same place | |
| comment: | yes, he is the absolute heavy-weight champion of the world in being seen, and if we never see him again it'll be too soon | |
 |
who? | Nestor Carbonell |
| who?! | look for him below, we've seen him before | |
| when? | few months ago | |
| where? | near his place | |
| comment: | no we won't tell you where he lives | |
 |
who? | Jason Alexander |
| who?! | that other guy from "Seinfeld", no, not Kramer | |
| when? | can't remember, a while ago | |
| where? | Larchmont | |
| comment: | had his son with him, tried his best to look distinguished (the guy, not the kid) | |
 |
who? | Michael Rapaport (again) |
| who?! | the guy we saw four times | |
| when? | few days ago (today's 13/02/05) | |
| where? | Windsor (St.or Blvd. can't remember which) | |
| comment: | not to be topped by H. F. Mikey appears once more, this time walking his dog, without a leash, so for anyone who's broke or desperate enough, how about running into Mr. Rapaport and provoke his pet to bite you, then sue for damages (?) | |
 |
who? | Harrison Ford (again) |
| who?! | our friendly neighborhood intergalactic smuggler/tomb raider | |
| when? | less than a week ago | |
| where? | same spot, only this time he was behind the wheel of his Mercedes (black) | |
| comment: | wham! you didn't see that one coming, did you? now we're really worried, this thing is like a law suit waiting to happen, but honest, Mr. Ford, we're not stalking you... oh, and piece of advice to all prospective celebrity hunters, we noticed we've been getting better results since our schedule changed, now we go out between 2 and 3:30 PM, and the streets are practically crawling with these pesky Hollywood characters, guess while all the honest people are at work they use the opportunity to act normal without being torn to shreds by their fans, yep, it's tough being a celebrity | |
 |
who? | John Glover |
| who?! | alas, he'll be remembered by most people as Lex Luthor's father (don't ask us how we know this without owning a TV) | |
| when? | right after and right before we saw Harrison Ford again | |
| where? | Larchmont, right next to the news stand and the Rite Aid store | |
| comment: | he was with two or three people one of whom was a big guy with an accent (German?), also an actor who usually gets roles of European terrorists or corporate assholes, but unfortunately we were unable to identify him (yes, there are limits even to our powers) | |
 |
who? | Harrison Ford (again) |
| who?! | are you on drugs? | |
| when? | barely a week after we first (last) saw him | |
| where? | one of the street parallel with Larchmont Blvd. (but we're not telling you which one or if it's to the east or west) | |
| comment: | we were this close to him, established eye-contact too, from a far he looked like a pretty shady character, reached for something in his jeans (he wore a black T-shirt and a pair of old jeans), we thought this is it, we're gonna get mugged again, but upon closer inspection it was only his cell phone, and to tell you the truth he seemed more afraid of us than we of him, after all we did outnumber him, and there was an awkward moment when we thought we should say hi or something, but it was too creepy, and he looked like he was going to yell bloody murder if we tried anyhting, which is why we want to share with you these easy-to-follow INSTRUCTIONS FOR CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS (to be applied even if you spot the two of us hanging around your neighborhood): never approach them, you might think you know them, but you don't, and they certainly don't know who you are, because same as you, they don't like to be harassed by strangers, it's tricky because they know you might know them, but... be professional, please | |
 |
who? | Paul McCrane (again) |
| who?! | yes! Dr. Romano is back and with vengeance we might add in his triple-platinum CS appearance | |
| when? | little less than less than a month ago | |
| where? | take a guess | |
| comment: | he might not landing roles in any blockbusters but the fact that we see him a lot should be worth something, don't you think? | |
 |
who? | William Petersen |
| who?! | well he's in some way connected to CSI, but... | |
| when? | by some freak happenstance we saw Will only a couple of days after watching "To Live and Die in LA", and don't think for a moment we're making this up, because with his beard and his excess baggage he barely resembles himself back from 1985. | |
| where? | where we usually see all these beautiful people | |
| comment: | okay, okay, so he looks like a hybrid of Tom Jones and William Shatner, but we have a question for you: what is CSI? | |
|
|
who? | Michael Rapaport (again) |
| who?! | he's the guy... oh, whatever, just see below | |
| when? | less than a month ago | |
| where? | Larchmont, attacking a bagel at Sam's Bagels | |
| comment: | so things are heating up, now that there's a big fish in the pond, we can see it, oh! so clearly now, everybody's gonna want to be in our CS list, and Mikey here is one of the first to realize the potential of being recognized in the street by two random idlers, it's his third appearance in last few months, so congratulations are in order, and as for you other famous people out there well, okay, bring it on! we're ready... | |
 |
who? | Harrison Ford X 2 (!!!) |
| who?! | You're kidding, right? | |
| when? | a month ago | |
| where? | Larchmont Village, on his way to the optician's shop, half an hour later driving away from BoA parking lot in his black Mercedes | |
| comment: | okay, this is it, this is the big one, this is why we came to Hollywood, now we can pack up and go home... come to thinik of it - naw! we'll hang around for a while longer, anyways: the brightest star on our list yet will reportedly appear in the Hollywood adaptation of the siege of Fallujah, is this supposed to mean Han Solo has fallen to the Dark Side? Don't do it, Indy! Don't do it!!! | |
 |
who? | Richard Riehle |
| who?! | had roles in "Office Space" and "Lethal Weapon IV"), so take your pick | |
| when? | two, three weeks ago | |
| where? | Nuart Theatre at Santa Monica Blvd. together (ten rows of empty seat between us) we watched "Green Butchers" (very good Danish comedy, you should check it out) | |
| comment: | well Mr. Riehle is a type of an actor who plays a certain type of roles, and you know the type, but you never can remember where you've seen him, and you hope you'll never enter a contest or a game show where they'll ask you his name, and that's sad | |
 |
who? | Michael Rapaport |
| who?! | oh, you know him, you just can't remember what was the last thing you saw him in, and neither did we, but then we remembered he's a regular at Conan O'Brien's, so we cross-referenced it with IMDB and voila: last thing we saw him in was "The 6th Day", with Governor A. Schwartzenegger (that was back in 2000) which is bound to have an effect on any young actor's career | |
| when? | two times actually in the last month or so, so, yes, Michael is another of our celebrity stalkers, guess the word got around, but we have to set the record straight: guys, sorry, we really don't have any influence in the entertainment industry, so... back off or we'll file for a restraining order (see, you gotta play tough with these Hollywood types) | |
| where? | Larchmont, both times | |
| comment: | in case you wondered: he's really, really tall | |
 |
who? | Caroline Rhea |
| who?! | allegedly had a part in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" (never seen the show, so we can't tell you much), also covered for Rosie O'Donnell (who's she?) in "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" (what's that?) | |
| when? | oh, some time ago | |
| where? | at Larchmont | |
| comment: | she seemed very busy, unless she was faking a cell phone conversation | |
 |
who? | William H. Macy |
| who?! | oh, c'mon, you really should know his name! no? okay, we'll help you, but just this once - remember "Fargo"? we thought so | |
| when? | just yesterday (10/04/10) | |
| where? | Larchmont | |
| comment: | he was pushing a carriage with a little Goldilocks in it, it must be his, or people of Larchmont react really mildly to celebrity baby-snatchers | |
| At this point we have a confession to make: some time ago, last Summer, we saw a not so famous actor at James Bridges Theatre on UCLA campus. It was the night they were screening the restored version of Elia Kazan's "A Face in The Crowd". Anyway we saw this elderly gentleman who appeared in scores of old movies, but unfortunately, he seems to be one of those supporting actors who always make others look better, while they never manage to make their name remembered by the audience. All the same, we'd like to take this opportunity to salute him, and thank him for the selfless contribution to the art of the flickering images, and to invite him to contact us if he'd like to put his picture and name here. Thank you. | ||
 |
who? | Paul McCrane (again) |
| who?! | Dr. Romano from “ER”, better known as the guy we saw six months ago, and now we've seen him again | |
| when? | mmm... August? or early September | |
| where? | Larchmont Village, LA | |
| comment: | should we be worried? is he actually stalking us? maybe he realized the immeasurable benefits of being featured on this page, shrewd man, this Dr. Romano | |
|
|
who? | Nestor Carbonell |
| who?! | Luis from "Suddenly Susan" | |
| when? | July, 2004. | |
| where? | Larchmont Village (where else) | |
| comment: | Nestor was wheeling out his trash bin just as we happened to pass by, although tempted, we decided against rummaging through his trash in search of compromising items, and E-Bay auctionable memorabilia, though if he gets very famous, very soon, we might reconsider, now that we know where he lives | |
 |
who? | Alexis Bledel |
| who?! | Rory from "The Gilmore Girls" | |
| when? | Sunday, 06/20/04, around 5 PM | |
| where? | House of Pies on Vermont Blvd. - Los Feliz Village | |
| comment: | after finishing her dinner (which she had alone - btw. busboy of 60 beat us to her table preventing us from obtain some celebrity leftovers which to sell on E-Bay) she hopped in her black Toyota Sequoia to reek havoc on the streets of LA as only petite starlets in monster trucks can | |
