Celebrities at Large
I was at The Grove picking up my laptop last night. The place is always a total cluster fuck. I have my theories as to why. The Grove reminds Los Angelinos of what we want LA to be – walkable with a trolley. Actually, I've decided when that 9.0 earthquake hits, I'm heading straight for The Grove. I'm setting up a tent city on the grassy knoll in front of Nordstrom. There'll be low-carb cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, baths in the fountain (to the song stylings of Tony Bennett) and I'll never want for shoes. It'll be a totally do-able mini-city. Anyway, celebrity spotting... David Schwimmer coming out of Barnes & Noble with, of all things, books! It occurred to me as he passed that if I were a celebrity, I would never buy books. What's the point of being famous if you're just going to stay home and read?

Ray- I think you idea of setting up camp is the nice part of town is genius! Look what this goverment does for its people during a crisis. You might as well plan ahead and I love your idea.
If I were famous *shudder at the thought* I would love hanging out at my delux crib all day and night. Reading and watching DVD's would be aces with me. I would have people over for parties too. Why bother going out and being annoyed with fans and photographers? I would be ready to kill them.

Oddly enough, David Schwimmer was my weekend celebrity sighting on Friday. He was at Jones Cafe on Santa Monica hanging with Joey Slotnick, of Boston Public fame, and a handful of Hollywood beauties (present company excluded.) There was no reading involved, or necessary, to make his night pleasant, or so it seemed.

What you didn't notice was the title of said reading material:
"How to Pull Bitches when you Look Like David Schwimmer"

Obviously you don't read now so why pretend you'd give up when fame reaches some mythicly critical tipping point.
I'm glad David reads, now he will have something to do besides obsess over his thundering crash to the Hollywood F-list coz lord knows he'll never make it in movies and he'll always be Ross so his TV career is over. Reading is a great way to pass the time while he's waiting to die or run through his money...
