Young Scotish Actor in Hollywood Blockbuster!
After a relaxing morning reading and drinking coffee at Urth with Dee Dee and not seeing a glimpse of even one Star, we head out to run some errands and go to the gym. We get to the gym around noon and notice that it is way too crowded for our taste, so we turn around and walk back to our car. In the garage Dee Dee pulls on my sweater and whispers, " isn't that the Scottish guy from Lord of the Rings?" I looked at this short young hipster with his girlfriend and told her that I thought it was Merry not Pippin the Scottish one. Upon exiting the garage an image of Pippin came to my head and I realized that Dee Dee was correct. It was Pippin or should I say Billy Boyd .
Cool sighting. An actor that is in not one but two Best Picture Oscar nominated films tomorrow! Lord of the Rings and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World...
All around Great Star Sighting! Thanx Dee Dee...

The Magic Castle
Last night Dee Dee and I went to the Magic Castle with our friends. At the end of the night as we are listening to Irma, "an invisible, ghostly piano player [who] will play almost any tune you can think of, and answers your questions in humorous song." Across the bar being entertained by one of the many strolling Magicians was Alex Kingston of ER fame. She was gasping aloud in disbelief at the trick she was seeing.
The Magic Castle is always fun and there is always a chance for some good Star Sightings. Just to give you an idea, last year we spotted Cheryl Hines who plays Mrs. Larry David on the funniest Sitcom around Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Workin' Out with the Stars
Place: Hollywood 24hr Fitness.
Time: 10am
With: Ms Dee Dee Duncan
Which Machine: I was using the Tri-Cep machine. Dee Dee was utilizing the Seated Shoulder Press.
Star Sighted: Actor/Director Bill Duke walking up the stairs with his workout partner.
I recognize him right off and point him out to Dee Dee. She tells me he is a regular and sees him in here all the time, but had no idea who he was. It takes a true Star Sighter to make Star Sightings of B list Actors...

Actress Meg Ryan Sitting in the Cafe
Dee Dee and I walk into the cafe and stand in line for our coffee. She spots Meg Ryan sitting with her son and eating some morning grub. Sporting sunglasses and trying not to be noticed, I glance her way to check out the work she has had on her face. Her lips seem bigger and her skin more taut... I met her years ago when my friend Jerm and I were PA's on the film When a Man Loves a Woman. Went out drinking and dancing with her and others, but I don't think she would remember me, so I decide not to bother her.
While sipping my coffee, I spot Jason Statham waiting in line for his morning fix. Jason was one of the stars of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels , his first film...
Yes the cafe was Urth Caffe again. It seems you can't go wrong at Urth, if you are Star Sighting.
Until next time...

3 Days... 3 Stars
2 days ago Dee Dee and I were "Walking in LA" by the Big Blue Whale when we spotted walking towards none other than Byron Allen. Come on! You have to remember Byron Allen, one of the stars of the hit TV series Real People. Well Dee Dee and I do...
Yesterday while shopping at Amoeba Records I spotted Kate Hudson's Hubby, lead singer of the Black Crowes, Chris Robinson. He was shopping away for new CD's as well.
Then today, I had a lunch at Mo's in Burbank and spotted sittin' and eatin' in the window veteran TV and Film character actor Len Lesser best known to most as Uncle Leo on TV's Seinfield.
Pretty good week...

Young Hollywood Lovers
It's Friday and Dee Dee drags my lazy ass out of bed. I have had enough sleep, but my allergies tell me different. We head down to Urth around 9:30a. On the drive there we see Nicholas Brendon from Buffy, crossing the street with some girl. Again, I think it is either Brendon or his twin brother. Supposedly they look alike. It is a warm sunny day and the place is packed with Hollywood Hipsters... We stand in line to order our daily fix of caffeine. I notice a James Dean looking guy sitting with some gal pal in the corner of he cafe. Trying not to stare too much, I recognize this guy. His name is James Franco. He played Harry Osborn in Spiderman. In fact he even played James Dean in a cable movie and he was one of the stars of the TV series Freaks and Geeks, a short lived but very good show.
Walking to our table outside I notice Jake Gyllenhaal again. He is sitting by himself looking very sporty. When James comes out they chat it up. Jake's girlfriend Kirsten Dunst, and James are in Spiderman and Spiderman 2 together. Kirsten parks her BMW SUV and strolls to Jake's table. She is looking pretty sporty as well. They are the sporty couple. Dee Dee is pretty sure that Jake was totally giving her the look and checking her out. At least that is what she tells me...
As we are leaving I notice Carla Cugino and her husband. She played the mother in the Spy Kids franchise. This is the second time we have seen her. She must live in the neighborhood...
That's all for now. Maybe we will see someone at the 99 Cents Only store later. Not!
