Celeb Magnet? Me?

I had a star studded week a couple of weeks ago. Ok, a two star studded week. A very friendly Matthew Modine hang out in my section at a Liberty Game. He was promoting bicycle for a day. I missed it, A) because I hate the South Street Seaport and B) because I was canvassing in Pennsylvania that day. He's the nicest movie star I've ever met. He's still adorable in a very white guy way but not as adorable as he was in "Full Metal Jacket". Research tells me that he is Mormon and that he has married for almost 30 freaking years.


The next day, leaving work in Chelsea, I made eye contact with "sultry", slow speaking soap star Micheal Easton from One Life To Live. I watched this show during the many years that I didn't have an employer for various reasons. I find Easton to be phenomenally unattractive, but apparently, I'm the only one. Yuck. Thanks to a couple of young men in front of me, I learned that men without girlfriends know him from some action show on HBO (Total Recall 2070).


OMG, OMG, OMFG. Gossip Girl set up for a couple of days right on my doorstep last week! I saw lots of stars and I don't know who they are. And look, filmlover44 (that's me in one of my incarnations) made The Daily Slope (what is the Daily Slope?)


Why do stars make eye contact? Is it to avoid potential stalkers or is it to make sure that you recognize them? In the past, I've made eye contact with a toned down and friendly Queen Latifah who was with a female friend and Jeff Goldblum who gave off a serious sex-addict vibe....totally my type!
