sarah jessica parker
i was with friends in NYC, and we popped into the philosophy store in soho. a teeny person with scary, veiny hands was picking through dresses next to me. OMG. carrie bradshaw.
dave chappelle
saw him at the metreon movie theater last night in san francisco. we were going to see ratatouille. he was leaving a movie. chloe did some cheerleader jumps after he walked by.
andy dick
noah will debate me on this one, but i SWEAR it was him. EOS restaurant in san francisco.
brad pitt and jennifer aniston
we were on our way to tiffany's wedding rehearsal in springfield, mo and got the call that they were at bijan's. holly and i made a pit stop to gawk. they both had matching black v-neck sweaters and were smoking cigs. they were tiny. and beautiful.
bono and the edge
this is my most quality celebrity sighting ever. long story short (i love making this a long story). i worked at harvard and bono spoke at a dinner for the center for international development. i snuck up to his dinner table and asked to shake his hand. i told him i had been to the concert the night before, and he said it was not a peak performance...i needed to go the next night. i asked him to pinky swear that i would get tickets. and he pinky swore (thanks for the reminder, ma!). his assistant called me at work the next day and told me to meet her outside the fleet center. zoe and i got to watch the show from the sound tech's booth. FABULOUS. bono (and edge) were both so genuine, kind and not jaded. i was impressed.
jesse jackson
noah and i went to the american cathedral in paris for a service. unbeknownst to us, jesse jackson was at the pulpit that day. and we saw him in the dallas airport a few weeks later.
kings of leon
we went to their show, and noah, katy and i ended up on their tour bus. it happened to be my birthday and what a birthday it was.
natalie portman
saw her getting into her prius with her dog on harvard square.
dave schools and jerry joseph
this is for noah's benefit. i told dave schools i wasn't into widespread panic. i'm not quite sure why i told him that, but he didn't seem offended. in fact, i think it made him more interested in me.
robert randolph
went backstage after their paris show. they were playing the grammy's the next week. after a tequila shot, i told them i could do the beyonce booty shake, and demonstrated. that was embarrassing.....because i can't do the bbs. but they were nice about it.
david rockefeller
does he count as a celebrity? or just a really rich old man?
conan o'brien
i walked outside of my apartment in boston and immediately honed in on this gorgeous golden retriever. without even glancing at the people, i started oohing and ahhing over the dog and was scratching his ears. i asked his name, and the guy said "hunter". i finally looked up and the guy was conan o'brien.
drew barrymore
saw her in harvard square when she was the hasty pudding woman of the year.
bruce willis
we were at whiskey park in boston and he (and his nice butt) breezed by a few times. he seemed really drunk, and actually stumbled through our small group. we had to scatter so he wouldn't run into us.
tom brady
whiskey park again. didn't realize who he was at first. i was genuinely excited to see a handsome, well-dressed, tall man. i was going to talk to him, but then the buzz got around that it was tom brady and i realized my chances were pretty slim. i did talk to him and gave him my business card. he never called and was dating tara reid a few weeks later. gross.
pedro martinez
the first time noah visited me in boston, we went to this bar called barcode. pedro was there eating dinner. i asked for an autograph for my friend t.j. he asked how to spell t.j. ha. a funny guy.
santino rice
he may not be a celebrity to some, but he sure is to me! a runner-up on project runway season 3, he is a larger than life personality. we saw him at the opening for the vivienne westwood exhibit at the deYoung museum. i was with my mom and sister. we chatted him up for a while, and my mom told him "i only have five tv channels, and even i know who you are". hee hee.
tom ford
sabrina and i were in NYC for work and ate at the uber-hot waverly inn. as i went to the restroom i spied gorgeous tom ford in the dining room. i went back to the restroom fifteen minutes later to check him out again.
oliver hudson
kate hudson's brother and one of joey potter's flames on dawson's creek. he was at a gallery opening for a fashion designer that tammy, molly and i went to in NYC.
yo-yo ma
his cello case looked like a bullet proof safe.
wolfgang puck
we went to a networking event for the wedding industry in LA and wolfgang puck sponsored and catered the event. was not expecting him to be there, but he was - and seemed very nice.
