In today's episode: Al Pacino; Matthew Perry; Val Kilmer; John Krasinski; Vince Vaughn; Spencer Pratt; Heidi Montag; Chris Evans; Simon Rex; Kathie Lee Gifford; Stephen Cojocaru; Dee Snider; Danni Minogue; Mel C.; Randall Kleiser
Wednesday (4/2) Polo Lounge lunch: Al Pacino, in a group of older, possibly producer/artiste-types getting shitfaced.
3/31: At the Fox and Hounds pub in Studio City when who should walk in to sit at a nearby table but Mr. Chandler Bing himself, Matthew Perry. He proceeded to sit at a table surrounded by 4 or 5 girls dressed more for a night of clubbing than for trivia, but I guess someone knew their stuff because their team came in second overall. Matt got up for the joke round and proceeded to tell a tale involving elephant penises (was too drunk to remember the actual joke).
Val Kilmer was on my Virgin America flight from JFK to LAX yesterday (4/1) with his two kids. He's looking hot again, with some highlights and less weight than those unflattering photos of him from last summer. He kept walking up and down the aisles, presumably so people would notice him.
Last night (4/2) at LAX John Krasinski cut in line like he's some entitled uber-celebrity and not just 'that jim guy from the office who couldn't pick a decent movie script if his life depended on it'. Old people were in that line, including my nanna and poppa, and that's never okay. He had a tall chick in tow.
I just got home from watching 21 at the Arclight in Hollywood (04/03 at 10:30pm). Vince Vaughn was walking out in front of us. He looked happy, smiling, and well fed. He was with another guy who could have been a foot shorter than Vince and looked like George Costanza.
4/4: I was just stuck in traffic driving down sunset and a dirty black bmw pulls up next to me. a guy with dirty blonde hair is driving so i look over to see if he's cute or not and OH MY GOD it's spencer pratt. dear lord, why?!? he leans forward and heidi is sitting there in the car with him.
4/2: Chris Evans and Simon Rex at Stone Rose - Evans is hot in a fratty way, but still shorter than you'd expect (I remain shocked by the height challenges of Hollywood stars), kept randomly dancing about and running into people. Rex doesn't look nearly as wrecked as you would expect from someone who has gotten down with P. Hilton, but he genuinely dances like he's mentally incapacitated.
Tuesday (4/1) Polo Lounge sighting (admittedly extremely ho-hum) was Kathie Lee Gifford, loudly "look-at-me, I'm actually working again after ten years of humiliation and shame, eat me Katie Couric" singing songs from some album she announced was some kind of teen thing (yeah, the kids just love KTG!).
Cojo at the Beverly Center Macy's on April 2nd in the early afternoon. He was filming some sort of spring fashion segment about the color yellow, in a very loud grating voice.
4/2 PM: Dee Snider eating dinner at SimonLA looking exactly like he looks in every picture you've ever seen of him, chatting with Kerry Simon himself.
4/1: I was roped into going to the Dancing with the Starstaping yesterday at the CBS studios. Sat a few down from Danni Minogue who was there to see her sister sing. Kylie kept looking at her sister throughout the performance. After both songs she would make faces at her poking fun at her own outfit and dance moves. Actually seems like they have good senses of humor about themselves and are close. Other sightings included Mel C.
Runyon Canyon last Saturday afternoon (3/29) with a bunch of friends. We were on the way down and spotted a passel of older gay gentlemen, one of whom was shirtless and quite leathery. Upon closer inspection, the shirtless man turned out to be Randall Kleiser (director of Grease and The Blue Lagoon). The dude must be 60 but he's still fit... just leathery as well.

Boring
I am enjoying the gradual douchification of John Krasinski.
That John Krasinski is an amazing talent. Ok, ok, he's a knob. I wonder if he was as much of a knob two years ago when he went by "JK", the Starbucks Barista.
How did the last person know who Randall Kleiser was on sight, or what he had directed?
@jamriner: Which Starbucks was it? He looks familiar to me but not because of his TV show or celeb stuff. I keep thinking I know him from something other than celeb stuff. Did he do catering or work for a hotel? Can't figure it out but I'm extremely good at faces. The other day I recognized the "Monex Gold" lady (with the British accent) that has those ads on CNN. Even she was surprised I recognized her. She wasn't draped in gold or in her "library" and oddly, she too is rather height 'challenged'.
For those disappointed about the elephant joke:

This is what passes for the "brush with greatness" these days? Boring.
I usually use elephant penis jokes to get women, but it doesn't work :(
Celebrities must all be hiding and laughing at us.
Cujo? Was Dee Wallace with him? Oh... Cojo. Wait, who the fuck is Cojo?
Thank god we've managed to palm Kylie off on you guys for a while. Under-talented and over-promoted, that's her. After 20 years, the joke's wearing a little thin.
@dluvvly: I'm surprised the final sentence wasn't "By the way, Mr. Kleiser continues to have a hip, stylish visual sensibility and is available immediately for television directing assignments."
Why is it that suddenly "famous" folk like Krasinski always seem to also suddenly turn into pricks? Dude needs to remember that fame is a 15-minute-thing for most and his is down to 5.
