I'm pleased to report I have spotted a few more celebrities since I last reported on the subject. I still haven't seen any big celebs like Tom Cruise or Madonna, but I know they're around (I have my sources). I saw Philip Bloch, the celebrity stylist and frequent VH1 commentator, sashaying down Broadway near Lincoln Center. I passed Mariel Hemingway on my way to the Apple store, and the next day I swear we saw Dan Hedaya, the dad from Clueless! Two weeks ago, we spotted (the actress who plays) Mel from Flight of the Conchords at a show in Nolita, which was the definitely the highest quality sighting, if not the highest caliber celeb. What's important is, in each of these encounters, I remained cool and composed, barely letting on to my recognition. I'm pretty proud of myself.
But it was my brief encounter with Brian McKnight, just outside Saks Fifth Avenue, that I wish I would have handled differently. I saw him approaching on the sidewalk, carrying a shopping bag and staring up at the buildings. And then before I knew it, he had passed me and disappeared into the crowd.
I can't believe I missed my opportunity to deliver this letter to him.
And you thought I was the only blogger in the family.

HA! Awesome.
I saw Mark from So You Think You Can Dance, season 4 at Village Inn. He smiled a lot and drank a strawberry milkshake. I think I win for both 1. lowest caliber celebrity sighting and 2. creepiest observer.
Unbelievable... funny you should mention Mel. No joke, Esquire just ran a "Women of Flight of the Conchords" pictorial. Mel was not included. Nay, not even mentioned! Is she not THE woman of Flight of the Conchords? Arrrrgh. I wish I would have mentioned this earlier. You could have asked if she felt slighted. Well, if you run into her again....
i'm disgusted that Mel was not included in that! what a travesty!
i'm jealous you saw her. also, from now on you really should have that letter on your mind at all times
I knew I liked your husband.
