HAS FAYE DUNAWAY LEFT HOLLYWOOD?

Faye Dunaway was NOT happy when a paparazzi spotted her shopping in New York and she covered her face right after this photo was taken. It seems she may have moved back to New York from West Hollywood. She put her duplex here up for sale a year or so ago and we’ve had no sightings of her for quite awhile. We miss the eccentric actress already – she was always up to SOMETHING – and we got a kick out of her weighing all her food in restaurants. For years she had a rent control apartment on the upper east side of Manhattan, but was forced to give it up when threatened with eviction, so we’re not sure where she lives now.

WHAT’S HOLLYWOOD FIXER RAY DONOVAN DOING IN NEW YORK?

Showtime likes Liev Schreiber so much that they moved his series from Los Angeles to New York after six successful seasons. Liev was miserable because he had so little time to spend with his children, who live in New York with their mother. He and his longtime partner Naomi Watts split up amicably last year after 11 years together. Naomi is currently dating Billy Crudup. Ray Donovan writers toiled to create a plausible reason for their main character to move to New York. We wonder how the rest of the cast and crew were affected by the move…

JUST ANOTHER DAY ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK

123548PCN_Toilets10cut

Something peculiar happened in the Meatpacking District of New York today. Our photographer couldn’t figure out WHY, but people (actors we assume) were seen sitting on toilets with their pants down on the middle of a busy sidewalk. The people were dressed as taxi drivers, police officers, students, and shoppers, and since it was the middle of the afternoon, passers-by were very curious. Does anyone out there know what this is all about?

MEG RYAN HAS THE NEW YORK SENSIBILITY

One thing about Meg Ryan – she doesn’t throw away her money on trendy designer clothes. She wears the same pair of sensible shoes almost every day – no $1200 Louboutins for her. But everything she wears is totally hip, cool, and functional, and top quality. She has a very downtown sensibility. No doubt that’s one of the reasons she left Brentwood for Manhattan. Her little girl Daisy seems to be thriving in the big city too.

DAVID BOWIE HAILS HIS OWN CABS

#davidbowie #janetcharlton

All we know is, we can never get enough of David Bowie. He seems so reclusive and it’s always a treat to see him. He’s sold around 140 million records, but hasn’t performed live since 2006. Bowie, 65, just seems to live quietly with his wife Iman and their 12 year old daughter Alexandria – only occasionally venturing out for a museum or charity event. Today he was “Under Pressure” to grab a cab at rush hour in New York, and he DID manage to do so.

KIM ZOLCIAK AND MEG RYAN: IT TAKES ALL KINDS

Flamboyant Kim Zolciak of The Real Housewives of Atlanta turns heads in New York as she walks into NBC studios. That loud, skin-tight shiny dress (she IS pregnant) and huge wig sets her apart from subtle and practical New Yorkers. She definitely looks like an out-of-towner. Meg Ryan, on the other hand fits right in with the locals as she talks on the phone and shops in Soho. Meg is currently filming “Lives of the Saints.”

JUDE LAW SHOULD BE USED TO INTRUSIVE PAPARAZZI BY NOW

Jude Law is in New York filming “The Bitter Pill” and he demonstrated to his visiting kids Rudy and Iris how to hail a taxi. They spent the afternoon shopping the stores and street vendors in Soho and Jude was all smiles until he spotted photographers. At one point, he left the kids and walked over and had a few harsh words for the paparazzi. Then the family jumped into a cab and left.

MARIA SHRIVER PREFERS TO BE SINGLE IN NEW YORK

Maria Shriver has no intention of being a single woman in Los Angeles. She’s planning to move to Manhattan in the spring, although she will keep a home on the west coast for frequent visits. Maria has lots of family and job opportunities on the east coast. Her three oldest children are settled into working or going to school here in LA so they will stay, but her youngest son Christopher can choose where he wants to live.

ANDY WARHOL STATUE IN NEW YORK: IT’S ABOUT TIME

If anybody deserves a statue in New York, it’s Andy Warhol. After all, he’s probably the most important American artist of the 20th century. The city had a life size figure of Andy installed near his factory studio in Union Square and not far from his favorite hang-out Max’s Kansas City. We’re not sure why the artist, Rob Pruitt, chose a chrome finish, but we love the fact that Andy is wearing his camera and holding a full shopping bag. Andy ALWAYS had a shopping bag – he stopped at all the thrift shops on his way to work and collected whatever tickled his fancy.
