The new year is beginning, and it’s time for resolutions. Luckily, I don’t need to exercise more or lose weight, so let’s move on to the next topic: meeting more musicians and actors.
I mean, I live in LA, people. Where are they all?
This year has netted a slim supply of actor and musician sightings:
- I got invited to a party where I met a member of the Pixies. (Not bad.)
- I went to a supper club in Hollywood and met a girl who has a movie credit for vomiting on cue.
- The real estate agent who showed us around Pasadena was filming a Barclay’s bank commercial the week we met him (though strictly speaking, that was back in 2007).
So, how to find actors and musicians? Perhaps I should just do the LA tourist thing, and resort to the Star Map, along with walking around on Rodeo Drive.

My mother’s boyfriend went to the Pig and Whistle’s Monday night Trivial Pursuit event and got to see (drumroll) Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Kid Rock and Ben Stiller. Brad Pitt was seen at the Golden Gopher downtown. The rock ‘n roll Ralphs on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood is a good place to troll for musicians (at least late at night). If you feel like taking a celebrity road trip, the San Vincent Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Brentwood is a good spot, as is Montana Boulevard in Santa Monica. Try getting invited to a beach party in Malibu. Last July 4th I saw Jenny McCarthy with fake abs painted on her stomach.
The funny thing is once you start to see celebs all the time, it becomes kind of meh.
Oh! My husband just found an article on celeb spotting in LA: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940CE1D71031F931A25756C0A9649C8B63
Good luck with the star stalking!
