So, the other day I was minding my own business, shopping at Gelson’s on Franklin post-workout, as usual. I was semi-disgusting: Hardtail leggings, an American Apparel hoodie, hair in a ponytail. Just doing my thing, squeezing produce and stuff. And then I see this guy dressed really well, good jeans and a hoodie with a jacket/blazer thing over it and a hat. A guy with a hat in Gelson’s in a telltale sign that he’s somebody. Sunglasses are not a sign–everybody in LA wears their sunglasses indoors. But a hot guy with a hat tipped low, trying to look inconspicuous: could be A- or B-list celeb. And, you know, I’m cool. I don’t go all psycho or anything, but I am still relatively new to LA and did not grow up with this insanity, so I am going to notice.
ANYWAY, plus, it’s kinda hard not to do at least a minor double-take when you’re picking out avocados next to Colin Farrell! Apparently his Polish/actress GF Alicja Bachleda-Curus just gave birth to their first kid together earlier this month, so maybe he was out buying baby supplies. Aw. Most of the time when I see celebs IRL, they’re kind of a let down, like Rose McGowan looked like a teeny tiny tranny. But Colin Farrell looks better in real life.
I found a recent pic of Colin minus his hat, just to make sure he wasn’t bald or something. Everything looks OK in the hair department, so he must just like hats. However, he must take shirt buttoning cues from Ed Westwick.
that’s a fabulous sighting! I’ve always suspected CF is hotter in the flesh.
BHB, I wish I had gotten to hear him talk though. That accent kills me. 😉
I get exactly zero celebs in my neck of the woods so I have no experience. But if I did I wouldn’t start screaming or pointing, but I would notice, and then I would probably trip over a free-standing display of pomegranates. I am grace personified.
Chris, hee. that’s pretty much me. I would totally trip too. In Chicago there are very few celeb sightings obviously, so it’s been interesting to live in LA where they are allowed to just, like, roam free. Everyone totally ignores them too. Although, the only places I see celebs are: gym, grocery store, where it’s not the environment where paps would be or anything. Not like outside of Mr Chow or something. When I saw Paris Hilton on Sunset, though, she was literally being MOBBED by paparazzi just walking from the door of the spa to her car. It was bananas. Truly one of the more odd spectacles I’ve seen here.
Hey…much better sighting than Fabio! I wish I had been with you!
haha, much better than Fabio! I thought of you & wished you were there!!
