A night of Magic and Celebrity Star Sightings

So, I was at the Magic Castle a couple of weeks ago with my friend Ruben. As we were walking downstairs to catch the late act in the Close-Up Room, I passed to young guys moving briskly to either the Palace or Parlour Theater. I quickly recognized them both. One of the guys, Seth Rogen, was from the excellent short-lived TV shows Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. The other guy, Jay Baruchel, was the Star of Undeclared. A night of Magic and Star Sightings.

Then about a week later, Dee Dee and I went to see a play Red Light, Green Light at the
theater of NOTE. A guy and a gal sat next to us. As they were mingling around, I mentioned to Dee Dee that I knew the girl or had seen her somewhere before. Well, I had. I just saw her in a small role in Spider-Man 2. She played Peter Parkers Apartment Landlord's Daughter. She is a young actress/model named Mageina Tovah. Again, I must say that I sight them as I see them...

Cult Film Director at Book Soup.

Last Monday while browsing around in Book Soup I noticed a slender eccentric looking fellow with a pencil thin mustache. He was browsing the aisles as well. I could not get a good view of him, but I was pretty sure I knew that mustache. As he was leaving he walked by me and smiled. It was none other than Cult Fave Director, John Waters. I think he was giving me the eye.

Then on Tuesday, I was in 20/20 Video on La Brea and Sunset, waiting for Dee Dee while she was getting a haircut, and I sighted Michelle Rodriguez star of Girlfight, S.W.A.T and more... Dee Dee saw her and said she would have never recognized her. That is why I am the Star Sighter of the Family.

And then while looking around Golden Apple Comics, I spot a guy who hung out here over 12 years ago (the first time I lived in LA). He is a big big guy who got his start on the under appreciated Parker Lewis Can't Lose . Since then he has gone onto bigger things. Most notably ER. He is none other than Abraham Benrubi, Jerry the big guy who admits the patients on ER.

All for now...
