That's Not a Pretty Girl, That's Jennifer Love Hewitt
It was winter and everyone is bundled up and I pass this girl in an intersection and we smile at each other and may have even swapped greetings. Half a block later I realized that she wasn't cute, she was only famous.

Mayor Rudolph Giullianni Just Gave Me a Wink
I walked past him in the Javitz Center. No story really, I don't think he really winked at me but I'm sure he wanted to.

How the Hell Did You Know That Was Baz Luhrmann?
I was visiting my friend Cynthia at her job at Barnes & Noble in Union Square. She got really excited because Baz Luhrmann had just walked past us.

Midnight Cruise/Cruz
My friend Kelly and I were walking through Chinatown around midnight, and a taxi stops in front of us. Two extremely attractive tiny people get out. Penelope Cruz was bundled up but very distinguishable. Her date had a big disguise hat covering his face, but the nose poking out of the hair definitely belonged to Tom Cruise. They ran off down a dark street.

Hey David Cross, Do You Need a Ride?
I don't know if it counts as a celebrity sighting since I was with Corn Mo who kind of knows David Cross, and since we just left a David Cross show. But as we drove past him, Darci pulled over and asked if he wanted a ride. He graciously declined, saying he didn't have far to go.

Liev Schreiber's Canine Hit and Run Freak Out
Liev Schreiber was walking his dog and he walks right in front of a car and both he and his dog are almost hit and he just starts freaking out and screaming and hitting the hood of the car. Then he picks up his tiny dog and storms down the street.

Ben Lee Doesn't Think This Is as Funny as
Claire Danes' Manic Laugh Would Suggest
Claire Danes and Ben Lee were sitting in front of us at "Punch Drunk Love." She was rocking back and forth with uncontrollable laughter the whole time. I couldn't stretch my legs out for fear that she would rack my knees with her chair.

Is That 'My Friend Will' or is That 'The Strokes'?
I was walking down 1st Ave and out of the corner of my eye I saw Will. I turned to say hello, but it wasn't Will, it was The Strokes.

Toy Shopping With MCA
I was in a toy store and my friend Kim noticed The Beastie Boys' MCA. As he was leaving the store, she said "Hello" and pointed at a stuffed monkey that he was holding, so he showed it to her. She resisted the urge to ask if that was his "Funky Monkey".

The Jimmy Fallon Import Section Man Huddle
I saw Jimmy Fallon at the Virgin Mega Store in Union Square. Every girl I've told has asked the same exact question: "Did you make out with him?" No.

I thought about approaching him to ask for a kittenpants interview, but he was always in deep conversation with the guys, first in the Import CD section, and then later in the Erotic DVD Section.
