BLACKGEYE HOME

This has nothing to do with our work, but it never ceases to entertain any member of the BlackGeye group to rub elbows with the rich & famous. Here is an updated list of our recent star spotting around LA:

(1) we spotted Weird Al Yankovic driving a silver Mercedes at the intersection of La Cienega and Santa Monica Blvd. It looked like his mother was in the passenger seat. You could spot Weird Al’s mug from at least a mile away. And then…the weird gay dude on his scotter wizzed by…

(2) I ran into David Hasselhoff at the Hollywood Video on Ventura Blvd. in Tarzana. He was alone, chewing on a Snickers bar like a beaver with a branch. He looked good – VERY TALL and tan, wearing expensive Italian-tailored linen pants and immaculate brown leather shoes. Hasselhoff left Snickers crumbs on the Hollywood Video counter. He was probably drunk.

(3) Exhibit of MTV’s “Pimp My Ride” was standing outside the Sunset Marquis waiting for the valet to fetch his Bentley Coupe…he was a very nice guy who couldn’t stop petting my huge drooly dog. He was like a ray of sunshine on an otherwise blah LA day. Earned extra points for animal friendliness.

(4) On the other hand, days later when I happened to be walking my same drooly dog past the Sunset Marquis, we saw Jason Statham (Snatch, Trainspotting, etc.) who was waiting for his rental Jaguar. Jason gave us all the cold shoulder, including our dogs, who were starving for affection. He was a LOT shorter than I imagined & donned the typical English guy outfit – fancy designer jeans and fancy leather shoes.

(5) Drank 2 large bottles of Nigori Sake with David Landers – aka Squiggy from Laverne & Shirley & his wife, who was funner than a barrel of monkeys. We sat down next to the festive pair at a sushi bar in Woodland Hills and the rest is history…

(6) Got kidnapped at Coachella by an inebriated and frisky Andy Dick who took my friend & I back to his trailer on the Coachella VIP lot, via golf cart ride. Andy got sidetracked & we fled into the deset darkness.

(7) Sat immediately next to Tori Spelling at the Blair Witch II premiere at the Chinese Theatre. She was so diminutitive and boney, when I got scared I grabbed her wrist accidentally & it felt like a Husky pencil. She was extremely NICE & delightful…totally angelic & not what I’d expected.

(8) I’ve been seeing Tom Selleck in my Hollywood Hills neighborhood looking VERY much like Magnum P.I., with Hawaiian shirt & all! He’s one of those rare celebrities who look GREAT – - tall, handsome in person.

(9) Tate Donovan lives in my East Hollywood Hills neighborhood & I’ve run into him on the sidewalk as he’s walking his wee Yorkshire Terrier.

(10) Saw LONG DUCK DONG at the Farmer’s Market eating whilst wearing a bandana doorag -AND- at Costco buying a single bottle of red wine in Glendale.

(11) Sat next to Maya Rudolph and her cute baby at the Farmer’s Market. She loves Mexican Food.

(12) We see Diann Cannon almost every day. She lives on Alta Loma Rd. in West Hollywood in a high rise condominium and walks up the hill towards Sunset (probably to the Equinox gym) every day, solo. She’s in great shape – but her butt is flat as a pancake, almost convex. Beautiful hair but too much plastic surgery. She has teacup dogs.

damn there’s too many. will try to only list the good weird ones.
