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...
