On this Wednesday afternoon, let’s discuss one thing enjoyable: celeb sightings! When have you ever noticed well-known individuals out on this planet? Apparently, this week, Timothée Chalamet and Martin Scorsese rode the subway collectively, and folks misplaced their collective minds.
Maureen, our advertising and marketing director, as soon as met Prince Harry (!!!) on a NYC lodge roof. “My buddy and I had been in our 20s, ingesting martinis by the pool,” she instructed me. “After I received into the pool, he walked over and began chatting with my buddy. I used to be awkwardly treading water, making an attempt to overhear their dialog. She was cool and requested what he was doing that night time, and he mentioned he was throwing the primary pitch on the Mets sport.” This is what he appeared like that very night time!
I as soon as noticed Renee Zellweger trying flustered in airport safety; I ordered ice cream (and virtually blacked out) subsequent to Tina Fey in a seashore 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 bear in mind them!
Listed below are some humorous reader tales:
Says Annie: “My daughter was learning in Rome this summer season, 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 to be Ted Danson,’ to which he replied, ‘I really feel like Ted Danson.’” Reader, it was Ted Danson.

When the President got here to talk with us, he commented that the newborn was so cute and clearly very properly fed, and my buddy blurted out, ‘Nicely, he’s quick,’ as if she needed to clarify away his chubby child rolls.”

Says Jennifer: “After I was 16, I labored at a marina and Catherine O’Hara would typically pull up in her pontoon boat at nightfall. One night, she requested me for the time, however once I appeared down at my watch, my mind short-circuited. I stood there, completely nonetheless, gazing my watch for a lot longer than is cheap, simply praying that if I appeared lengthy sufficient, my skill 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 night time.”
And, in fact, my buddy Alison met Ethan Hawke and had essentially the most awkward trade of all time.
