Reality Celebrity Star Sightings come in Threes....

Reality Sighting #1: The Ellora sighting from the last post of Johnny Fairplay from Survivor.

Reality Sighting #2: Walking home one night from work in Beverly Hills, I noticed a bunch of people taking photos of some blonde in a Range Rover. She was stopped at a light on Canon and Little Santa Monica. There was a guy standing next to the car with his arm reaching in the window draping around this girl, like hey were good rinds at a party. Onlookers form the sidewalk snapping multiple photos. No Paparazzi were around that I could see. All of this was going on as I was crossing in the crosswalk. Who could this girl be that was getting so much attention? I stopped at the corner to try and see who it was. The light turned green and she pulled closer. It happened to be none other than Reality TV Star,Actress,Rapper,Socialite Heiress, Paris Hilton. Too Funny!

Reality Sighting #3: Ellora and I were meeting friends at Mirabelle for a couple of drinks and Apps. Standing by the Bar, I noticed a couple walking up to the Restaurant. He had really bad hair and looked like he had just come from the gym and she looked like a stereotypical Beverly Hills Woman with the beginnings of too much plastic surgery... Just before we walked to Mirabelles, we were flipping the channels at home and came across Dr. 90210. She had never seen it and I had glanced at it once or twice. I made the couple out to be one of the Doctors from the show and his wife. It was Dr. Robert Rey the martial arts enthusiast... He looked sillier in person than on the show.

I guess Reality TV Star Sightings really do come in threes...

Ellora Sightings

Ellora occasionally spots celebrities around town when she is on her own. Theses sightings are unverifiable by moi, so I have to take her word and so will you. These sightings will be called Ellora Sightings.

She recently was shopping at Whole Foods for her dinner and while standing in line she noticed a blonde curly haired guy arguing with his girlfriend behind her. Now celebrity come in all shape and sizes and classifications. With the advent of Reality TV, these wannabe TV stars are recognized by many people, myself included. Well if you a fan of Survivor as I am, you would be excited to see Jonny "Fairplay" Dalton form Survivor: Pearl Islands. He cam in third place and no one and I mean no one has out-lied him since...

Great Reality Star Sighting Ellora!

Drive-By Sighting

Driving to Urth Caffe in Beverly Hills, I glance over to the driver of a silver Mercedes Benz SUV. It was a quick glance but long enough to notice that it was an unshaven-aviator-sunglasses-wearin' real life Movie Star...

Brad Pitt

No really, it was Brad Pitt, but I really couldn't say if Angelina Jolie was in the car or not. Sorry...

Stan the Man

A couple of weeks ago as I was walking to work I noticed a group of people walking towards me. They were all listening to an gregarious and animated (pun intended) older gentleman. The man was immediately recognizable to me, since I am a comic book geek. He was none other than Stan "the Man" Lee, the creator of Spider-Man, Daredevil, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk just to name a few. He is a Legend in the comic industry and it was fun to see him outside of a Comic Book convention...

The Ivy

Went to the Ivy with Ellora and my Dad for my 39th Birthday. We sat outside on the Patio with a great view of the people coming and going. A guy who was dining alone looked very familiar and when he exited there was two autograph hounds who asked for his John Hancock. I recognized him as Captain Adam Fuller from 21 Jump Street. His name is Steven Williams and has over 50 credits to his name. As we were leaving my Dad went to look around inside the Restaurant to see what it looked like and he swears that he sighted Roscoe Orman who has played Gordon from Sesame Street from 1974 to present. He then said that he saw "that child actor that stopped making films and then made a come back years later on Hill Street Blues. I could not think of who he meant and then it hit me he was talking about NYPD Blue and Little Ricky Schroder... uhhh, I mean Rick Schroder.

Good food and good sightings!

Car Sightings

Car Sight-ing: A sighting of a celebrity either:

A. From a car (Ellora or I someone while driving in our cars.)
B. Into a car (Ellora or I spot a celebrity in a car.)

A few weeks ago we were driving on Melrose in the shopping area and we saw what appeared to be a crazy homeless man yelling at someone or something. Someone was filming him with a video camera. I took a close look at the man and made it out to be a well known character actor Glenn Plummer. Best known to me as Pernell, a character in Menace II Society.

Past Car Sightings include:

1. Vincent Gallo: Waving and pulling in front of us on Beverly Blvd.
2. Conan O'Brien: Almost hitting us as he pulled into traffic onto Beverly Blvd.
3. Richard Lewis: Driving on Fairfax in his Mercedes.
4. Richard Dreyfuss: Years ago with Beach. He was driving in a convertable on Sunset Blvd and he waved to us.
5. Jennifer Lopez: Ellora spotted her driving in her bigass SUV.
6. Kirsten Dunst: Parking he BMW X5 in front of Urth Caffe.
7. Larry King: I was driving down Santa Monica and he was crossing the street at Rodeo Dr.
8. Keanu Reeves: Walking down Sunset Blvd near the Chateau Marmont.
9. Christina Ricci and Adam Goldberg: Walking a dog on Sunset.
10. Jamie Lee Curtis: Driving her car near Rodeo Dr. Sighted her with my dad.

Whew...

Gram Rabbit Rocks

Went to the Echo a couple of nights ago with E and Brooke to see the band Gram Rabbit. They rocked! Really fun show and excellent showmanship. As we were waiting for the 2nd band of the night to come on, I looked around the crowd, I noticed a guy who looked like Long Duk Dong from the 80's teen flick Sixteen Candles. E and I were just talking about the film and that character just a few days before. I was going to joke with her that Long Duk Dong was standing right behind her and then I took a look again and realized that it really was Long Duk Dong! Well actually Gedde Watanabe the actor who played him, but he will always be Long Duk Dong to me...

The Sunset Strip

I was driving back from the Burbank Airport driving home on Sunset Blvd. I looked over at a few people walking a dog near the Argylle Hotel. I could tell the guy was Indie Actor Adam Goldberg. I had read somewhere that he was dating Christina Ricci and when I took a closer look at the girl he was walking the dog with, I verified that it was her. She is tiny... Celebrity Star Sighting on the Sunset Strip!
Seeing Stars on the Streets of Beverly Hills

Ellora joined me on my lunch break a couple of weeks ago in Beverly Hills. We stopped for an espresso at the Euro Cafe. On our way back to work, I noticed Andre Braugher one of the stars of the Television Series, "Homicide: Life on the Street", sitting at another cafe having a conversation with somebody that I did not recognize.

Sunset Strip's Book Soup Celebrity Sighting

Walking off my Taco Hell Burrito, Ellora and I went to Book Soup for a little light reading and browsing the film section. As I was paying for a magazine, a couple of guys walk into the store and right away a recognize Robert Sean Leonard. I remember him best as the guy who commits suicide in Peter Weir's, "Dead Poets Society". He currently can be seen in the new Television Drama, "House, MD" I love living and Star Sighting in LA...

Television Star at Pavillions!

Ellora and I went to Pavilion's to get some dinner. I opted for cheap Chinese food at the Panda Express inside the store. As we were making our way to the Yogurt section, I spotted "Six Feet Under's" Father, Richard Jenkins strolling down the cereal aisle. I pointed him out to Ellora and we both reminisced about our Thanksgiving weekend marathon viewing of season 2 on DVD...

Sandra Bullock sighted in Beverly Hills...

Sitting here watching Reservoir Dogs with Ellora and do to much pressure from the fans of the Blog and Ellora, after two months of ignoring this writing down nothing, I now have many Star Sightings to report. So here goes:

Last Wednesday at the Magic Castle I spied Character Actor J.K. Simmons best know as J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man films.

Earlier that day, Ellora and I were doing some shopping at the Beverly Hills Crate and Barrell. As we were walking in, we both sighted Sandra Bullock leaving the store with an older woman. Ellora thought that she looked very good.

Then last Sunday, Ellora and I go out to brunch with our friends Scott and Catherine to Le Pain. As we are waiting for a table, we notice Sandra Bernhard and her girlfriend walking out. Then while we are waiting for our food to arrive, I spot Jerry O'Connel (the fat kid from Stand By Me) and his new gal pal Rececca Romain Stamos... Oops I mean Rebecca Romaine. Then if that wasn't enough Star Sighting for one morning, I also notice Walton Goggins, Michael Chiklis' partner on the Sheild. Whoooo... that's alot of Star Sightings in a couple of hours!
