Why is there no ILX celebrity sighting thread?

Haha I can't believe I forgot that Yancey talked to James Ellroy while Ellroy was taking a shit. - brushes with greatness (again)

After this auction thing was over, Lucy drove away in her Toyota Prius. Defamer had her in Beverly Hills a couple of days before, however, in a Range Rover. It's important to have choices.

I said wassup to Luis Guzman and he was all weird so I considered robbing his ass

So, there I was, over in our Other Office Round The Corner where I don't normally go, discussing work stuff with one of the engineers, and Geraldine the office cleaner was chattering on about the importance of a healthy diet.

G: I never eat crisps, or junk food, or anything like that.
Me: Mmm-hmm
G: They're very bad for you.
Me: Oh yes.
G: Just ask Shay Healy over there.
Shay Healy: Very bad for you, yes.

I think my brain just refused to deal with it for a second, and I just sat there with a WHAT THE FUCK IS A COMPOSER OF EUROVISION WINNING SONGS DOING SITTING AT A DESK IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND EVERYONE IS ACTING AS IF THIS IS NORMAL expression on my face.

Apparently due to some arrangement with our CEO, he uses one of the desks in the office a couple of days a week. Still deeply bizarre.

Hey, I sat next to that gimp at a Cecil Taylor concert, but that was probably about 14 years ago. Always a mystery to me how a man of such taste can make so much godawful music. Wish I'd have asked him...

This is highly unfair as I didn't walk past any slebs the whole time I was there (to the best of my knowledge).

Yes and I saw him at Archway a few weeks back, he must live in the area now. Never mind all that tho, yesterday I saw... RONNIE CORBETT!!!!!!!! Boy, was I excited. The strange thing is he was taller in real life than he appears on screen and it usually works the opposite way.

this might be stretching the defintion. I could imagine him STALKING & MURDERING a celebrity, though

I believe Gillespie Jr is called Wolfman.

I once saw Terry Scott. He was licking an ice cream.

But Ronnie Corbett is very much the man of the moment, so Dadismus is in the lead.

it's odd that i would recognize an indigo girl.

Me -- well, about a month ago I ran into a local celeb. I mentioned this in another thread, I think; I was working at an election and a local TV news anchor who looks a lot like Mr. Spock and his wife went in to vote. A little over a week ago, Mom worked at the runoff and spotted them again. He looks more human-like in person, but I was really impressed by how normal his wife looked and acted! She's not a skinny plastic surgery bitch -- rejoice!

Oh, and we're having to get some work done at the house, and one of the people we've most recently called up for help was one of my dad's former cowworkers. He now works at the SBC Center -- apparently he ran into Al Michaels before Game One of the finals and said Michaels was genial and was carrying around a bunch of grapes. I would've asked about Alanis but knew he probably wouldn't have known who she was so I didn't.

Don't leave the thread, you're the Mary Hart.

A few summers ago I was walking on a nature trail in the woods and David Letterman passed me on the trail.

Years ago I waited tables at the airport restaurant. My first day both Lou Reed and Spike Lee came in for coffee.

And then of course there are Clinton, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Mike Wallace, Ted Kennedy, Mary Steenbergen and the other celebs who vacation here - seen them around.
