Celebrity sightings

Posted: 2/17/05 at 12:12am

I love living in NYC sometimes.
Last weekend I walked by Ethan Hawke walking his two children (Must have been Uma's free weekend).
Then my friend (who works at a flower shop) calls me and tells me he's suddenly creating arrangements for Julianne Moore (a new regular in the shop) and several others.
Then I'm riding the 1 train this evening and who gets on at the Columbia stop but Julia Stiles, all alone and reading a book. Completely went unnoticed.
Wow, that's just in a week. It's too much fun to be in the city sometimes.

I saw Julia Stiles on Houston Street on Sunday.

I was on my way to brunch and passed right by her when she was looking in a shop window. At a couch.

Dontcha just love New York?

My friend shared an umbrella with Julia Stiles on Valentine's Day. It was pouring and he was getting wet.

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

If I were a rich girl (na na na na na na naaa), I'd still ride the subway. It's much faster than any other mode of transportation around the city, unless yuo've got a Trumpacopter.

Yeah the poor guy, he's sitting there minding his own business and then this heavy southern couple get on, sit across from him, stare at him but only talk to each other (loudly by the way) and then the woman pulls out a disposable camera and takes a picture so the flash goes off in his face and STILL doesn't say anything to him. He looked blinded.

Yeah Tiff, she is. I always forget if she's technically a Barnard girl or not, though. *shrug* I'd be proud, even though bwaysinger thinks all we do is paint out toenails. :-P

I don't know much about Barnard, but she's majoring in English (or English Lit?), so whatever school that would be.

Either or. The two schools have almost the same in terms of departments... it's a very bizarre relationship.

Not really a 'sighting', but we sat with Michael Arden this evening at our workshop with Stephen Schwartz (which is why he was there, I'm sure, having just done Pippin.) We chatted with him for awhile - he's a very nice, well-spoken, sincere young man.

I shared chocolate with two lovely ladies outside a storefront only to have Jude Law walk past us in SoHo once....

Jack Black walked into the Tower Video while I was in there... The smart@$$es working decided to put on "Shallow Hal" while he was wandering around. He left looking very annoyed.
