Celebrity Sitings: Good And Bad!

I'll start it off.

I just finished dinner at a good restaurant on the Left Bank, and who was at one of the tables we walked past as we left?

John F*cking Kerry!

He's as ugly in real life as he is on television!

6 I just finished dinner at a good restaurant on the Left Bank, and who was at one of the tables we walked past as we left?

Was he with his Iranian buddies?

Kerry met with people from the Iranian government frequently (sometimes in Paris) during the first Trump term, and told the Iranians how to frustrate Trump's diplomatic initiatives.

He deserves to be in prison for that.

8 John Kerry is 81. I don't expect most people to look great at 81 unless they are nice people whom the goodness shines through ( and he isn't one of them) or they have good genes or work done on their faces.

12 I golfed with a couple of guys who were pro soccer players. Played for DC United. No, I don't recall their names. Young dudes and friendly.

I've seen Colin Powell close enough to notice he's really tall. I was just a minion so he didn't notice me at all.

At a golf tournament a few years ago, I was a couple of feet away from both Jason Day and Jordan Spieth. Both sent golf balls into the woods, right near where I was standing.

That's about all I can recall.

78 #67 makes me think I should again mention that early 90s at Cafe du Monde they sat me right next to a table where James Spader was shooting a scene for the movie Storyville. Just outside the shot. They had to keep re-shooting the scene because Spader takes a bite of a beignet at the beginning, and he kept sneezing from powdered sugar (common occurrence there).

Finally one of the young Vietnamese-American waiters (they all were, at that point) sprayed some water on the beignets, appearance didn't change, but Spader didn't sneeze. They were still doing takes when I left for my flight, dunno if scene made it into the movie.

82 Diddy or didn’t he?

Let me disclose my bias. I don't like Snoop Dog. Never have. Because he's a dirt bag.

Several days ago, Snoop posted that his grandson didn't care for Disney's Lightyear because of the lezbo relationship. Of course, such anti QWERTY opinion could not go unavenged. So yesterday, it was reported that he had apologized. Disappointing but to be expected. Now his PR guy says reports of the apology are fake.

Only thing I know for sure, they're all a bunch of fags.

91 Best unexpected celebrity meeting: I was in Innsbruck, Austria back in 1989 traveling with friends from college. I set out on my own to do a little exploring and came across a rather interesting looking pub. I wish I could remember the name of it. The sign had a monkey on it. Anyway, I go inside (it's about 2pm) thinking a nice local beer would hit the spot. At first I thought it was closed. Two people were inside. A guy was at the bar with his back turned. And an old woman seemed to be sleeping one off at a table.

I went to the bar, ordered a drink, and turned to the guy sitting at the bar to give the friendly head nod or whatever. And, there, sitting with a glass of beer was Sir John Gielgud. How did I recognize him, you ask? Well, a number of weeks before this I was sitting in a Shakespeare class at college, and only managed to get through it by listening to Gielgud's Grammy winning "Ages of Man". I figured I owed him for that, and told him the next one is on me, and why. He thought that was hilarious. Academy Award, Grammy, Tony, Emmy. Not many can make that boast. Also, an entertaining storyteller sitting in an empty Innsbruck bar, I can attest.

He invited my friends and me backstage to meet Buck Owens, Conway Twitty, and George Jones. As we were standing backstage, I saw Conway Twitty approaching and was excited to meet him. Just as he made eye contact with me, he tripped and stumbled over some cables. He caught himself before hitting the ground, but I think he was a little embarrassed and so continued on past me.

108 Years ago I saw Dick Clark and Tom Skerritt on airplanes and Bob Newhart in an airport. Not air travel related, Peter Fonda and Kevin Tighe. My wife once rode in an elevator with Ray Liotta and knew Kyle MacLachlan before he was cast in Dune.

113 When I was a tourist at the US Capitol back in the '70s, Sen. Edmund Muskie took the urinal next to me. (No, nothing untoward -- the men's room was pretty busy and I guess that one was open when he was next in line).

This was back when America was great, and Senators pissed next to us common folk.

115 I unfortunately saw Dim politicians in DC several times in restaurants. Bleah.

Met Robert Redford when I was still a supermodel. He was at least 3" shorter than me and I pretended I did not know who he was, even with eye contact.

I went on to pretend to not know the politicians. I sadly saw Mitt Romney at an airport. He came over to me and asked if we were boarding (my husband was getting pastry and water). Unfortunately, it was post Barky's second term and I sadly spoke to stupid Mitt, still liking him briefly, altho I did ignore him at first, thinking he was yet another irritating person at 7am (I don't like morning flights). I even introduced him to my husband.

At first I thought he was flying without security but was able to figure out later than he wasn't. I was in first class sort of behind him. The two guys who came up to him and said,"Thank you for your service" were right behind his sorry arse. I think that was code for, "We are here, dickhead."

116 Flew with Wayne Newton on a USO flight from Naples to Athens where he was going to perform for the troops over Thanksgiving. Got to meet him on the plane then again Thanksgiving morning where he came over to our table at the hotel and chatted a bit. Aces in my book.

Saw Hulk Hogan about 9 years ago at the departure lounge early in the morning at the Tampa airport. Yes, he was wearing a wife beater shirt.

117 Returning from our Clark AP, RP, AF assignment, we saw Robert Conrad in the air port at LAX. He was surrounded by a bevy of pretty girls. Fast forward 30 years or so and we meet a comedian who worked in LA back in the day. One of her jokes was something like, "I went to LA looking to be a star. One day while I was looking up at Robert Conrad's face as he was f'ing me, I realized all I had achieved was that I was looking up at a star." I'm sure she told it better. I hope.

118 I met Kevin Costner in the maternity ward when his wife was in for number three; he and the two little girls looked totally frazzled visiting mom. Victoria Principle came to visit her too, was kind. Ran into celebs at the Turf Club at Santa Anita when my dad worked there. Mom worked for a production company on the Warner Bros lot in Burbank, saw the martial arts guy who’s gone to Russia now, assh*le, can’t remember his name but he’s really fat now…

122 I was at a conference in Cancun. Sat down for a cup of coffee and a newspaper (long time ago) and Lou Holtz was sitting in the chair next to me, reviewing notes for a speech, I guessed.

123 "I drove Harry Belafonte to a train station from my hotel in 1987. He never said a word, nor did he give me a tip. Not a fan."

Being an elite communist, he interpreted "to each according to his needs" as he needs to keep his money while forcibly stealing yours.

124 OK, I just remembered another encounter. I once ran into Hugh O'Brian; it was in the elevator at the American Medical Association's headquarters, where I worked at the time. I stepped onto the elevator, and there he was, and briefly it was just the two of us. I recognized him immediately from the Wyatt Earp TV show, which I loved to watch when I was a kid. The thing is, I'm 6'6", and O'Brian is maybe 5'2" or 5'3" - perfectly proportioned, but short. I never suspected it from the TV show, where he was photographed to make him look like a six footer. Anyway, I look down at him, and he looks up at me, and the expression his face, he's thinking, "Go ahead! Say it! SAY IT!" But I didn't say anything. I just off at the next floor, and he didn't, and that was that.

127 A story an employee told me. She lives in Taos, NM. Julia Roberts has/had a house there. Apparently, she was a pretentious witch. She goes to the one 'fancy' grocery store there, and at checkout, realizes she forgot her wallet. She tells the cashier, "I'll just take this home and pay the next time I come." The cashier tells her,"No, leave the basket here and go get your wallet." Roberts' rears up and says. "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" The cashier responds, "YES, AND NOBODY LIKES YOU!"

128 I just finished dinner at a good restaurant on the Left Bank, and who was at one of the tables we walked past as we left?

John F*cking Kerry!

He's as ugly in real life as he is on television!

I worked for a Representative on the Hill in the late 80s. I was in high school, got asked to take a constituent to meet with Senator Al Gore. He was as boring and stupid as you could imagine. I was bringing him an old lady wanting to give them money and he couldn't carry on a cogent conversation.

No wonder Hillary cut him out of her massive scam, he couldn't even ask for the money.

129 Last one, I promise. I was giving a talk at a Peanuts' Collector's Convention in Santa Rosa. (The year Charles Schulz died, so no, it wasn't he I met.) I was sitting at a table with my family, and Judy Sladky, a champion ice dancer and the star of Snoopy on Ice came by. I told her, "I always wanted my picture taken by a celebrity." She smiled and invited me to stand next to her. I handed her my camera and she realized I wanted her to take our picture. Judy Sladky does not have a sense of humor. At least she didn't that day.

131 I met Bill Clinton in my junior year of high school, while he was still prez; he was giving a speech of some description at the VA in Tucson, and our school's marching band was selected at the last minute to play at the event. The band director literally had less than 2 days to locate and rehearse a copy of "Hail to the Chief" and had to have one faxed in from Hawaii (it was the late 90s). I mostly recall the Secret Service taking forever to go through everyone's instruments to check for contraband (this took about an hour), and the speech being incredibly boring and mostly about finance (several of us passed the time playing "spot the snipers" on and in various buildings and parking garages). He decided to stay behind long enough to gladhand all of us and get a few publicity photos, so somewhere in a scrapbook I've got a photo of the band, and a photo of me shaking his hand. Looking back as a much more politically aware adult, the honor is much more dubious.

134 I and George Schultz, who served numerous roles in the Nixon and Reagan administrations, collided on the steps of the Old Senate Offfice Building, when he was rushing down its front steps with his aides. Our briefcases smacked into each other, sending papers flying.
