Celeb week

So this week I've gotten quite the fill of celeb sightings. Granted, none of them were just randomly walking down the street, but whatever, I don't care.
So I work next to Bryant Park. Officially the best location ever. On Wednesday Carmen Electra was there doing a book signing.

She looks a lot better in real life.


There was this pack of 14 year old boys. She waved at them a couple times and they went crazy. She finally went over and gave a couple of them hugs. They went ballistic. Here she is with them.

So there was such a mixture of people at this thing. There was a lot of people like me and KaRyn who just thought it would be cool to see a celeb. There were a bunch of little boys who were so excited. Lastly, a bunch of old men. There were two groups of old men. The men who were obviously classy guys, but couldn't help but go see Carmen Electra....like this one guy who was behind us in line for the book signing. KaRyn asked him if he wanted her to take his picture. He was like, "No, it's okay, I don't have a camera." She was like, "Do you want me to take one with mine and I can email it to you?" You could tell he felt like he should be like, "No, it's no big deal." But he secretly really wanted to. So he was just like, "Uh, yeah, that'd be cool, uh, thanks." Haha, it was great. THEN there were the creepy men. Like this guy in the yellow shirt with the mullet. I didn't get a picture of his face because I was too scared. He was seriously CREEPY!

She was really cute. TINY. But not much of a personality, even during the Q&A portion.

So yesterday KaRyn and I went to Fergie's concert for Good Morning America. It was so cool, there was only like 200 people there so we were right up front. Fergie is even tinier than Carmen. Seriously, look at your arm.....okay that's honestly the size of her calf. But I totally fell in love with Diane Sawyer. She's such a doll! KaRyn's mom was watching it on tv the same time we were there because she also lives on the east coast and she said she totally saw us on tv! I called my mom after and told her to make sure she tivoed it (since it's on later on the west coast.) I'm mad I didn't thing to record it myself. Oh well, maybe I will next Friday.


Gosh Diane was so cute.


Here's Fergaliscious

Here she is in action performing Glamorous. Her backup dancers were really good.

I thought she might have been lip syncing, but then she she held this note seriously forever, he faced turned a little red.

She is SO short. And seriously, this pic adds about 10 pounds. She's miniature.

So bummed this pic is blurry cuz it's like my fav.

Fergie was trying to bump it with Diane but she couldn't quite get it. Love her. More so than Katie Couric now.


So Brandon's mom and aunt are in town right now. I went with him to the airport on Thursday to pick them up and immediately I fell in love. They're adorable. SO southern. Two of their friends from Alabama are also in town so last night we went to dinner at a french restaurant. It was so much fun hanging out with them. They reminded me of the Ya-Yas. They wanted to do something cool after, see a celebrity, or have some sort of "New York moment." I could definitely understand this. Brandon, on the other hand, doesn't get that excited about celebs. "They're just people." Blah blah blah. I'll admit, I don't get all crazy like I used to, but it's still exciting and fun. By the way, he totally works out at the same gym as Elliot from Law and Order SVU. The other day Elliot asked Brandon to spot him. I almost died. I'm in love with Elliot, or whatever his real name is, Chris something or other. ANYway, so we took them to the building where Kevin Spacey does his broadway show.

The girl who stars opposite Kevin came out, as well as some guy who's in the show that apparently was on Star Trek. I didn't know who he was for obvious reasons. Then, this guy came out who looked really familiar. I guess he was in the second Pirates movie. I'm not a huge fan of those shows so I couldn't tell you which guy he was, but I definitely remembered him. Then came Kevin. He was a trooper. He signed autographs and took pictures for about 15 minutes. Of COURSE my battery died from the Fergie concert earlier. I got this crappy pic on my cell, but Brandon's mom actually got a picture WITH Kevin so I'll post that after she emails it to me. It's a good one. He officially makes it onto my favorite celebs list for being so nice to the fans.
