WOH SIGHTINGS: WEEKEND EXTRAVAGANZA

FRIDAY:

Drew Barrymore with a Pocahontas feather in her hair dancing with Justin Long and a gaggle of gays at Shits & Giggles.  

SATURDAY:

Scott Speedman picking up lunch in Silverlake before climbing back into his Camry. Where did the Felicity money go?  

John Cho, of Harold & Kumar, with his baby strapped to his chest at the Silver Lake Farmers Market.  I hope it was his baby.  

Alexis Arquette looking rather subdued in a blue cocktail dress at the Todd Schoor Opening.

SUNDAY:

Trent Ford having lunch with me at The Abbey - a friend of a friend.  Who knew he was British?  

 

WOH SIGHTINGS: DSQUARED & BALFOUR

TODAY:

Dean and Dan Caten, the tiny Dsquared² twins, having lunch next to me at The Abbey.  I've been seeing these guys all over town since they were at Jamie King's new years party.  

Meanwhile...

Eric Balfour, a WOH fave, walked by in a straw hat and perfectly fitted grey tee as he discussed photos with a friend.   Sigh.  

 

WOH SIGHTINGS: JOEL MCHALE

Last Friday at Akbar, Joel McHale of Talk Soup having a drink with a (gay) friend and looking rather cute in a tailored coat.  

 

WOH SIGHTINGS: SIDNEY POITIER

THIS MORNING:

The legendary Sidney Poitier driving down Sunset in Beverly Hills with his sleeves rolled up in a dusty black Mercedes. 

  

WOH SIGHTINGS

LAST NIGHT:

My old friend RuPaul at Trader Joe's in white jeans and a white collared shirt.  Very dashing.

LAST SUNDAY:

Patricia Heaton, actress and Albertsons spokesmodel, doing her grocery shopping at Pavilions.

LAST THURSDAY:

Bill Pullman at the Downtown Art Walk, looking quite good for his age with dyed hair.  

LAST MONDAY:

Stefan Richter, final three contestant on Top Chef, playing pub trivia against my team at Finn McCool's.  

 

WOH SIGHTINGS: QUEEN LATIFAH

FADE IN:

Last night, 8:30pm.  Wearing a blue velour track suit QUEEN LATIFAH intensely shops for light bulbs at the Sunset Blvd Home Depot, two days after her spectacular performance live on the Academy Awards.  A tall, slim, strikingly handsome man approaches, reaches for a light bulb and notices her plight.

ME

Oh, Queen...  Dana.  May I call you Dana?

If you are needing a friend I'll be happy

 to have a bite and chat.  It's sad enough

that I'm here alone at dinner time but

you... And light bulbs?  Don't you have 

people for that?  Well here, just take my

 number.  We can be alone together.  What's 

that?  Of course I love Pizza Hut pizza.

END SCENE

 

WOH SIGHTINGS: ANGELYNE

Last night around 8:30pm I was stopped at a red light at Santa Monica and La Cienega when Angelyne pulled up next to me in her trademark pink corvette.  In the passenger seat was a boy of around 21 with a Zac Efron bob grabbing at his door, either a kidnapping victim or her grandson.  I figured either way he could fend for himself and went for drinks.  

 

WOH SIGHTINGS

I always see people who are notable - either to the world or just to myself - all around this town but usually keep driving, talking, or touching myself and forget as quickly as it happened.  So here I will transcribe my sightings as a record for me, you, and possibly the LAPD stalker division.

To kick things off...

Last night:                Last week:

 

Selene Luna, comedian and video vixen,    EG Daily, Pee-Wee's Dotty, 

at The Kitchen eating a pork chop.            at The Grove in palazzo pants.

Last month:

 

Jonathan Bennett of Mean Girls and Skeet Ulrich of 1997 ice skating in Pershing Square - together.  Just saying.
