I saw Wolf Blitzer and the Rev. Al Sharpton at "The Producers". Two of the last people I expected to see there!

So what do you do when you sit next to a celeb? Do you just ignore them, or do you smile, or do you say how much you enjoy (or not enjoy, LOL) their work? I wouldn't know what to do if it happened!

Clinton saw Avenue Q a few months ago - I wonder what it must have been like sitting next to him!

I sat directly behind Sean Connery at "Writer's Block" and
Teddy Pendergrass was a few rows back when I saw "Frankie and Johnny"

I've seen way more celebs in doctor's offices and just walking down the street.

I saw Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman at Avenue Q (Wow, he's short...) as well as the original Luke Skywalker....whatever his name is...(not a huge Star Wars fan...I've never seen any of the movies...) I know his name, it is just escaping me at the moment.

Keanu Reeves at "The Real Thing"
Jude Law at "Assassins"
Liza Minnelli at "Wicked"

...those are some of the 'harder to spot' celebs.

Considering I go to shows about twice a week (client entertaining!)...I see celebs frequently. They run the gamut.

I saw Rosie a few times at Taboo with her wife. She was always really sweet.
I saw Liz McCartney from Taboo sitting across from me at Wicked.
I also saw Scary Spice at RENT before she was in it- back in March.

Shirley Maclaine was at Elaine Stritch At Liberty on Valentines day...she was so petite and so amazing looking!

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
