I may have come apart altogether… I think my huge crush on him on “Newhart” may have had something to do with my husband selection.

I was so retarded, I said “Are you one of the musicians?” Friggin’ IDIOT.
I also saw Randy Jackson that same night. He called someone “Dawg” and I smiled inside.

Just for the record, my Uncle Charlie was in a dishwasher soap commercial inthe 70s. Hapless, un-dishwahser-safe husband is fooled by uppity Chinese housemaid, revealed by domestic goddess wife. Punchline: “Ancient Chinese Secret, eh?”
Also, the Leo Cabalka, uncle of a family in our neighborhood growing up, was the guy in the boat in the Tid-E-Bowl commercials of the late 70s.
So I got your celebrities right here.

On my way to work on Friday, at the 42nd Street subway station, I walked right by Coco from Fame. Not Irene Cara, but the TV Coco, Erica Gimpel.
Wish you were here!
Love, Vivian

A: As a general rule, you should always suspect everyone in a baseball cap of something.

J: Okay, you did NOT read Janice Dickinson’s autobiography!! Tell me everything! How many facelifts has she had? Did she sleep with Versace? I’m buying it immediately.

That really sucks. Stupid reality liars and their lieing lies. Pack of swindlers and prevaricators. I hate them. But I LOVE ANTM, Tyra and of course, Janice. Janince who’s so fabulously fabulous that I couldn’t help but read her autobiography. Her autobiography that’s REALLY good. Seriously. Suprising, I know!
Last time I was in NYC I had tickets to see Chicago (the play) and was kind of turned around, couldn’t find the theatre, was walking down the street feeling like a tourist loser, when I spotted the Taye Diggs (aka Billy Flynn) — SO beautiful. SO short. — walking toward me. So I let him pass, turned immediately on my heel and followed him to the theatre. A wonderful actor AND a more than sufficient MapQuest substitute. Also saw Harrison Ford WITH Calista Flockhart. And my uncle once peed next to Sylvester Stallone.

I’m so horrible with faces, I would either not recognize them or suspect everyone wearing a baseball cap.

I dunno, but if your eyesight sucks, it seems to me you’d see celebrities everywhere. Hey, there goes Brando now… no wait, that’s Elvis … no? damn, it was Marilyn Monroe!
