suedenyc Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Yesterday, while on my way to get lunch. I was walking on 57th & Madison and some guy turned the corner really sharply and ran right into my shoulder. He was on his cell phone....it happened to be the one and only Ray Liota---except that his skull didn't look like it was sawed off (Hanibal reference). I never thought he was that good looking but up close he really is. Has nice skin and suprisingly, only had an inch on me (I'm 5'8").Anyway, he was on the phone and said "Hold on a sec...ooh I'm sorry buddy, you ok?" I said "Uh uh uh uh yeah, sure fine, <smile>" I thought he'd fallen in love with me in the brief second but then he just got back on the phone and kept walking! Oh well! Part of his frontal lobe is missing anyway!Other celebrities I've seen in the area:Joan Rivers: an absolute monster up closeGoldie Hawn: took an elevator with her..she towerd over me.Paul Sorvino: Nasty and a giantSusan Serandon: pretty and has great boobsCorey Haim: tall and cuteEveryone from the Howard Stern show except HowardAnna Nicole Smith: was actually thin..boobs huge!Michael Bolton: got pissed off because the sales boy at Sony helped me before him.Courtney Thorn Smith: very pretty up close..stick figure. Bought a watch at TourneauSpike Lee- I said to my friend "Hey, it's Spike Lee"..she said "Where and almost put her cigarette in his eye." He didn't like us.Queen Latifah--not much to sayThis city is crawling with them...I have this freakish 6th sense about them. Not that I fall all over them or stalk them...but I always spot them even disguised (got that Joan Rivers??? That plastic poncho hood and sunglasses didn't fool me!!!!)------------------Peace,Love & Hairgrease,Rich Suede AOL/AIM: SuedeNYCEMail: SuedeNYC@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shugabooga Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 wow! you win the prize!!! i don't think i can top you in sheer numbers, but i think i might win the prize for the highest # of high caliber celebs (IMO) spotted in one night...having dinner at Nobu Next Door on a Wednesday night, we saw Mariah Carey, all decked out like she was going clubbing, and talking on her cell phone and ignoring her not-so-glamorous dinner companions. naturally we got a bad impression of her. next in walks Sarah Jessica Parker (no Matthew, darn!) with a group of very nice looking friends, one with a little baby. then, as we were walking back to the train station, who did we see jogging right by us - close enough to touch - but JOHN F. KENNEDY, JR.!!!! boy were we excited. we stopped in our tracks with our mouths hanging open and just watched him go by. we could tell by his body language that he didn't want to be bothered, but that's okay John John, we love you anyway!!! (so sad that he's gone...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampienyc10 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Yeah Rich especially in our area you're always bound to run into someone.. I've seen Howard and the crew being that I work in the same building..Howard is one scary looking tall ass dude.. I too, saw Joan Rivers and all I saw was hair that wouldn't move, alot of fur, big ass Jackie O. glasses and a permanent smile.The other day as I was walking back to work I walked by Linda Lopez (Jennifer Lopez' sister and KTU dj) Extrememly attractive girl beautiful skin and thin....Alot better looking and seemed alot nicer than her bitch sister Jennifer who I bumped into at Life a couple of years ago.....One time I was walking to work and made eye contact with this guy who looked extremely familiar.. I was just like "damn I know I know this guy" yeah right, in my dreams,lol it was Enrique Iglesias that was on his way up to see Howard.. lol He is one great looking guy.. Ethan Hawke - one time I was walking down by he leaves - my god was he filthy.. his hair was greasy all dirty looking and gross... he even smelled like a bag of smoke and mildew.. It was gross...Matthew Broderick is a prick....very rude.. A little girl asked him for his autograph and he huffed and puffed...Sarah Jessica Parker was a doll - go figure....she asked the girl her name and how old she was seeing that her hubby was being a prick.Leo DiCaprio - coolest friggin kid, you wouldn't even recognize him if you saw him out and his girl Giselle is breathtaking....reaaallllllly skinny and tall (there not joking when they say the camera adds 10-15 pounds) She was very skinny...I think a tic tac would get stuck in her throat..My gf almost got into a fight with Ben Stiller - he yelled when he bumped into HER at a packed local bar.....Bridget Hall - bumped into her in the bathromm at Flowers years ago, very nice and also extremely gorgeous.uhm can't think of any more right now....------------------AIM vampienyc10e-mail: vampie@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahb53 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I never see any celebrities. I saw Dylan McDermott when I first moved here and Ruthie from the Real World. That is it! I would probably walk right by and not even notice. ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexxxi Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I wish I could run into Ray Liota...if I did, I certainly would not have let him get very far!!! As for run ins with the celebs...not many on my books. I always see Roy Dupuis and Peta Wilson from Nikita around Toronto because most of the show is/was filmed here, I always seem to meet the DJs (thus the reason my friend calls me the DJ slut), Lenny Kravitz in Montreal a few years ago, Chantal Kreviatz and others I can't remember. PORN always makes fun of me b/c I pick people out of crowds....he finds it annoying. ------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denn Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Saw Woody Allen and his Asian companion in the upper east side. Met LL Cool J at Les Poules(now known as OHM). Ice T chillin on the corner at one of those outdoor cafe's in SoBe. Dave Chapelle in the village. But the funniest was last summer. I was driving down the block where they are showing the Saturday Night Fever play. I noticed there was a huge crowd outside. I was thinking the play just got out or something so i slow down because people started to run into the streets. All of a sudden these 3 kids almost run right in front of my car and i almost hit one of them. They looked familiar then this little 12 year old fat girl comes out and starts hugging one of them. She had the word Hanson written all over her forehead. This cop starts yelling at me for almost hitting the kid and grabs the little fat girl and throws her to the floor. Then Hanson makes a break for it and jumps into a van that was in front of me and takes off. Hundreds of little girls where running down the block trying to catch the van. ------------------"Wherever you go, there you are." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editor Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 How come I only see obscure celebs? My notable NYC run-ins include people like Eric Bogosian (Carmine St.) and Philip Glass (St. Marks). Oh yeah, caught Charlie Rose coming out of a Taco bell once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I forgot to tell you about my run-in with Mariah. A few years back I used to go to this bar called "CHAMPS". It was a gay bar in Chelsea near Splash. So everyone is staring at this blond at the back bar. Of course, I have to go investigate. I order a drink and notice everyone looking over my shoulder...I turn around and Ms. Carey is sitting right next to me. I smile and said "Hi"...she gave me the phoniest smile in the world and turned around. So I said to myself "This C U Next Tuesday is not getting off with that." She was with Tommy Matolla who didn't want to be there and some high-haired Long Island girls (no offense). So I said to her "Hey, I used to sing with Melanie Daniels in college". She said "OMG...get out of here. I adore her. I take her with me everywhere." (Melanie is one of her backup singers). So after that she talked with me a bit about what I do...she warmed up then but only 'cause I knew someone in her world...otherwise she would have walked over me. So then Tommy got edgy and bodyguards came in and wisked her out of there...she said "I'll tell Melanie you said hiiiiiii" Turns out one of her best friends in the world was a bartender there and she would come visit whenever she was around. I think she's gross on TV however when I met her...she was very tall, very blond...and gorgeous up close. Even though she's a gross skank.Also at Champs, I met Nathane Lane once. I couldn't remember his name....I remembered he was a voice in the Lion King. So I was drunk and went up to him and said "Hey...Hakuna Matata!!!" He raised his upper lip and said "uchhh" and rolled his eyes. I then disappeared really quick.------------------Peace,Love & Hairgrease,Rich Suede AOL/AIM: SuedeNYCEMail: SuedeNYC@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
