So what could possibly top seeing Kevin from BSB in a queer bar? Well, nothing. But Conan O'Brien was spotted browsing through manly manly sports books in the U. Village Barnes & Noble, and that's pretty cool. (Regular readers will recall that Conan's main squeeze is from these parts, and every now and then he graces us with a visit.) For the record, Conan bought a book on sailboats and a copy of Oprah's latest recommended drivel.
Actually, I'm beginning to suspect that Barnes & Noble is THE new celebrity hotspot! Mad, you say? Certainly not! Bookish Dave Matthews practically lives there (two sightings this month--he got a Scrabble set and a Cranium game), as do Duff from Guns 'N Roses (He's still ALIVE? And he can READ?) and Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk, who's said to sit in the sci-tech section for about 45 minutes every single day!
On a sicker note, Woody Allen's former daughter, current wife, and celebrated "jailbait" poster girl, Soon-Yi Previn, was overheard talking to an older female companion (Woody in drag?) while poring over the sale scarves at Nordy's. When the companion asked, "Is pink a color you normally wear, Soon-Yi?" Little Mrs. Allen--without missing a beat and with a delicious lack of irony--answered, "No. It makes me look too much like a LITTLE GIRL"! I love it when these jokes write themselves....
