Ricky Gervais lives and works there and is always wandering around in grotty trackies. Hi DG!

Tom Conti outside the National Portrait Gallery, and Kim Clijsters on the train from Waterloo heading towards Surrey (NB this might not have been her as it seems so unlikely but it was the absolute spit).

Not a sighting as such, but we were walking in Knightsbridge, passing a shop where a bloke comes out with his son and says "That was the ROCK! In there! You know, the Rock! shopping in there!"

I think it was Accessorize, or some such.

Pat Nevin at the Belle and Sebastian/Camera Obscura gig in Edinburgh on Sunday.

did you hear him, tho?

That's how I first identified him... I wanted to say hello, but he was busy talking to the book store owner about old LA, Frank Sinatra's paintings, and the Coconut Grove.

Robert Winston (he is a celebrity isn't he?) at, and this is perfect, the NT production of "The Life of Galileo" (two rows in front of me)

I did see Garry Bushell at the Reading Hexagon, watching Lily Savage's "Prisoner H block" or whatever that aussie soap was called.

Paul Morley in Archway again.

Mark Lamarr at Kilburn Car Boot. He was scoping a vintage turntable, but left with some wooden things instead.

Mrs Vague had a dance with Bobby Gillespie on Saturday. She said he was kinda funny lookin'.

― I Supersize Disaster (noodle vague), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 10:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope she fumigated after, NV.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor on the road to my friend T's house, looking really rather stunning in red vintage patterned dress (late '60s)with flame-haired toddler in tow. Friend who lives on the road was excited to tell me that she has seen SE-B the night before in front of her at the cinema.

Emma Watson, on a boat.

We avoided making any type of Harry Potter references (well tried to) for the whole duration of the journey.

i held the door for 0mar Epps the other day, and he said "thnaks, man"

― timmy tannin (pompous), Saturday, 9 September 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

er, "thanks" but "thnaks" would have been cooler

― timmy tannin (pompous), Saturday, 9 September 2006 15:05 (seventeen years ago) link

saw jeffrey wright the other day at habana outpost. as an admirer of his i was kinda psyched. everyone i was with was all pshaw we see him like everyday. not sure how i got left out of the ft greene jeffrey wright sighting club, cause i've never run in to him before.

also last night i had a dream that me and a few other people were hanging out with brittany spears and kevin federline in their kitchen and they were really down to earth and mellow -brittany was making us scrambled eggs and hash browns, everyone was just cooling.

Last weekend, Montréal, bachelor party, very drunk, Deni$ R0dm@n, buying cigars. We handed him a beer (Sleeman's Creme Ale), he looks at it cautiously and asked "what is this"? No idea if he drank it.

I don't know how it happened, but I never, ever come within a kilometer of any place where a celebrity might possibly be caught, either dead or alive. We inhabit different universes.

apparently Justin Long (the kid from the macintosh commercials and Dodgeball and a bunch of crap) is living in Rock Hill, SC while shooting a movie. my sister goes to college there, and she and her friends are hunting him down at all the parties around town he's been haunting. if they find him, they're gonna try and get him to call me and tell me he owes me tree fiddy.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 9 September 2006 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

i'll report back if they succeed.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 9 September 2006 18:40 (seventeen years ago) link

harold ramis at the w hotel in los angeles yesterday. and some dude who looked important and familiar, but i couldn't figure out who he was. the only notion i had was he was the guy who played the evil soccer tycoon in 'shaolin soccer', but it probably wasn't him.

― Porkpie (porkpie), Saturday, 9 September 2006 20:44 (seventeen years ago) link

also: ian svenonious talking about his book and making the awkward joke that it was titled "Garfield". I mean...I think it was a joke. He was kind of boring too.

no way, he's not nearly as annoying as Fallon.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Sunday, 10 September 2006 00:32 (seventeen years ago) link

i see what you're saying though. but at least he's not a "comedian"

jumped on the subway with two youngish co-workers and lo and behold, bebe neuwrith was sitting across from us on the train. she gets off, a few stops later i idly ask if they noticed, and they not only not know who she is, but are unfamiliar with the show Cheers.

i'm not even 30 yet but feel so old.

― mr. brojangles (sanskrit), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 02:48 (seventeen years ago) link

oh shit what is wrong with your coworkers? i would have been psyched to see her - is she as hot as i imagine she'd be in person?

― fellini-esque-lit-rockist (tehresa), Tuesday, 12 September 2006 02:53 (seventeen years ago) link

m.i.a. at the cat power show last night, talking about her new record. guess that u.s. work visa wasn't a problem after all.
