On this Wednesday afternoon, let’s discuss one thing enjoyable: celeb sightings! When have you ever noticed well-known individuals out on the planet? Apparently, this week, Timothée Chalamet and Martin Scorsese rode the subway collectively, and other people misplaced their collective minds.
Maureen, our advertising director, as soon as met Prince Harry (!!!) on a NYC lodge roof. “My pal and I have been in our 20s, consuming martinis by the pool,” she instructed me. “After I received into the pool, he walked over and began chatting with my pal. I used to be awkwardly treading water, making an attempt to overhear their dialog. She was cool and requested what he was doing that evening, and he mentioned he was throwing the primary pitch on the Mets sport.” That is what he appeared like that very evening!
I as soon as noticed Renee Zellweger wanting flustered in airport safety; I ordered ice cream (and virtually blacked out) subsequent to Tina Fey in a seaside city years in the past; I sat close to Natalie Portman and Gael García Bernal on a date at a teeny sushi spot within the East Village; and in Paris final February I stood behind Laura Dern in line on the grocery retailer. I’m positive there have been others, however I can by no means keep in mind them!
Listed below are some humorous reader tales:
Says Annie: “My daughter was finding out in Rome this summer time, and one night she and her roommate noticed a person strolling a canine who appeared very acquainted. They went up and mentioned, ‘Excuse us, however you appear like Ted Danson,’ to which he replied, ‘I really feel like Ted Danson.’” Reader, it was Ted Danson.

Says Lissa: “A pal of mine and I have been fortunate to satisfy President Obama at a fundraiser, and my pal had her adorably chunky child boy along with her. When the President got here to speak with us, he commented that the infant was so cute and clearly very nicely fed, and my pal blurted out, ‘Properly, he’s brief,’ as if she needed to clarify away his chubby child rolls.”
Says Lindsay: “I as soon as noticed the Obamas drive via New York Metropolis, and even via a automobile window from 30 ft away OMG she is BEAUTIFUL.”

As we received nearer, he simply lifted his hand up, and with out a second thought, I gave him the excessive 5 he was going for. We each stored on strolling and it was the good celeb sighting I’ve ever had.”

The mother was carrying a toddler like a sack of potatoes, speaking to somebody from the museum, whereas finding out a Monet. I spotted it was Cate Blanchett.”
Says Jennifer: “After I was 16, I labored at a marina and Catherine O’Hara would usually pull up in her pontoon boat at nightfall. One night, she requested me for the time, however after I appeared down at my watch, my mind short-circuited. I stood there, completely nonetheless, observing my watch for a lot longer than is cheap, simply praying that if I appeared lengthy sufficient, my capacity to learn the time would return. Giving in, however refusing to make eye contact, I lastly whispered, ‘…I don’t know.’ She very gently responded, ‘It’s okay,’ then elegantly floated off into the evening.”
And, in fact, my pal Alison met Ethan Hawke and had probably the most awkward trade of all time.
