On a trip home a few years ago (ok, it was more than a few, since it had to be before 1997) I saw what my husband and I ended up calling The Parade Of Stars You Don’t Want To Admit You’ve Seen.

-Chris Farley in a parking lot near the 3rd st promenade
-Tom Arnold outside the movie theaters in century city
-Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lot of an “exotic car” rental place in beverly hills

I’d trade ‘em all for one James Earl Jones.

That's when I first noticed he was missing his middle right finger. I got to see James Doohan fall flat on his blind drunken ass in a bathroom once.

Oh wait...we were together. LA is so full of incredibly skinny but amazing looking yet dressed like the homeless people that I rarely recognize celebs, but I had TWO sightings in the last week. First, Danny Bonaduce in my gym lobby, looking very pissed off (isn't he in anger management?). And, secondly, speaking of Entourage, Debi Mazar filming a scene in our local mom gathering park, with a fake baby playing her baby on the show while her real baby was at home with the nanny. How's that for LA? My very first celebrity sighting after moving to LA? Jeff Goldblum, easily recognizable since he's like 7 feet tall and about 100 pounds, who I've now seen so many times that I swear he's recognizing me.

I could NEVER live in LA because I'm soooooo bad at being star-struck. Just going to BlogHer, I was sweating and squealing when I met the bloggers I worship from afar. In real life, I've met and talked to (aka screamed insanely at) Amber Valletta (supermodel...also is in Hitch and What Lies Beneath) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (Waterworld, Basic Instinct). My first trip to California ever, I was in Hollywood and saw Samuel L. Jackson getting his star on the Blvd. I almost wrecked the rental car. Heh. Then, the rest of the time, I THOUGHT I saw about 239847293857 stars...but others convinced me I was nuts. Hmmph. Holy crap. I could NEVER live in LA because I’m soooooo bad at being star-struck.
