SEEN AROUND TOWN
Jeffrey Sebelia , the sarcastic rocker on Project Runway, with his child, shopping at Urban Outfitters in Pasadena. A salesclerk said “The whole store recognized him right away (must be that neck tattoo) and he seemed flattered by the attention. He was surprisingly NICE to everyone and bought a scarf….” This is how Tom Cruise and Katie strategically planned a dinner date at Giovanni’s in Malibu: First a black bronco pulled up and the driver checked out the place inside. (Making sure none of Tom’s exwives were there?) After getting the official OK, a black Mustang convertible carrying the pair pulled up. Both dashed inside wearing jeans and sweatshirts….Buxom Tanya Harding, pumping iron and gossiping in the weight room at the Hollywood YMCA… Scruffy looking Mel Gibson, baseball cap in hand, standing by an SUV in front of the park near The Abbey on Robertson Blvd. Nobody paid attention while he had an animated conversation with another man… Kiefer Sutherland, on his best behavior, politely admiring the attractive waitstaff at Holly’s West……
Nick Nolte, browsing in Malibu shops on an 85 degree day, wearing pants , a hawaiian shirt, bedroom slippers and a brown hooded velour bathrobe, accessorized with a bright orange purse hanging on a string around his neck that contained his credit cards. Nolte carried on a conversation with himself – there was no cellphone visible. He purchased several expensive beach towels…… Jason Lee, looking as scruffy and unshaven as his character Earl, standing in line at Hollywood’s OSH to buy an electic drill…..Orlando Bloom, walking his dog in Runyon Canyon at dusk and yakking on the phone at the same time…. Marriage and a baby hasn’t doused the flames of passion for Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. Last week they went out on a “date” and shared a cozy booth at Holly’s West. They chatted and laughed nonstop and only had eyes for each other – you’d think they’d just met….
Faye Dunaway, in full makeup, hopped out of a cream colored car on Wilshire Blvd, wearing a cream colored top and unfortunate high waisted cream slacks with a straw fedora. She dashed into, of all places, IHOP….. Reese Witherspoon , gleefully trying on costume jewelry at Barneys. She managed to pick out $20,000 worth before she was done….. Tobey Maguire’s pregnant fiancee, jewelry designer Jen Meyer, in a prenatal yoga class at Golden Bridge (No sign of Tobey- but he does take other yoga classes)….Patricia Heaton and Markie Post – not together- but both rockin’ out in the audience at a taping of “So You Think You Can Dance”….. Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, holding hands like teenagers, wandering around the Brentwood Country Mart…
Macaulay Culkin at Gelsons market in West Hollywood, carefully selecting a bouquet of flowers (presumably for his girlfriend Mila Kunis – they live down the street)…..Ryan Seacrest seen many days a week sweating at Fitness Factory In West Hollywood. He’s never forgotten he was a chubby kid……Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer seen browsing the fine jewelry department at Barneys – he picked out some Pirate inspired emerald earrings for his wife…..Janice Dickinson, conspicuously working out at Equinox on Sunset Strip – yelling an ear splitting hello to a girlfriend across the room….Home Improvement’s Tim Allen stocking up on vitamins at Capitol Drugs in West Hollywood…. Carnie Wilson, looking slimmer in a hot pink top and white pedal pushers with fuschia Crocs, at Burbank Airport on her way to Oakland……
Hanging out in front of the Palms bar on Santa Monica Blvd, Angelina’s former fling Jenny Shimizu …..Jeremy Piven, all puffed up and cocky , trying to impress his pretty brunette date at Nobu in Malibu…..Playing bingo at Hamburger Mary’s in West Hollywood, Jessica Simpson’s former assistant Cacee Cobb, and Jessica’s hairdresser Ken Paves……Kate Beckinsale , overdressed in an elegant long blue gown at the Grove mall, but looking gorgeous, with her husband Len Wiseman and daughter Lily…. . Zooey Deschanel and Scientologist Giovanni Ribisi must be getting serious- they had lunch with his family at Quality Food & Beverage on 3rd Street… Brittny Gastineau, still with her TV boyfriend Rich the record producer, having a leisurely dinner at Memphis in Hollywood…..
