Cyndi Lauper has been trapsing around WeHo lately -- making two stops at The Abbey within a relatively short time of each other. Last time she was there, her mere mingling amongst them set the gays aflame. This time, she went virtually unnoticed. Except for me, I got a personal intro to the iconic pop singer of my youth.

Cyndi, dressed in a cute checkered dress with virtually no makeup and FLAWLESS skin, a few others, and me somehow got into a conversation about music maintaining its relevance.  The porcelain faced, formerly waffle headed pop star looked directly at me and made a reference to some David Bowie album that my Justin Timberlake loving ass had never heard of. I gave her a blank Simpsons stare, then bowed my head in shame.

I think she judged me for about a half a second, then in her heavy Queens accent said she was hungry and demanded to go someplace with good food. Amen, sister.

I love Jodie Foster and am so sad that it wasn't me who spotted her at Whole Paycheck at Third and Fairfax over the weekend! But I probably would have gone bananas and said something really stupid like, "It puts the all natural guava infused face lotion in the basket" as I stalkishly stared at her scanning the moisturizer section.

My source was equally excited to see Foster and came back with some excellent details (as well as half a bag of groceries and $85 deducted from her bank account).

Source reports that, "Foster entered the store wearing cute semi-faded jeans, black and white soccer girl Adidas sandals, a long sleeved gray t-shirt, with her hair pulled back, glasses and topped it off with a scowling angry face. She also had her eco-friendly canvas bag."

My source caught up with Foster at the salad bar and reported that she had stocked up on pretty basic healthy salad type stuff. They ran into each at several other spots and unfortunately Foster had maintained her signature scowl throughout the entire shopping escapade. When did she get so serious? I always imagine her to be the foul-mouthed pretty tomboy of my youth. Shoot.

After JF left (pulling away in a Prius, naturally) the store's workers and patrons erupted into a collective, "Do you know who that was?!" which almost NEVER happens in LA. Unless you're with my mom.
 

I woke up early this morning, put on my Mayor Villaraigosa intern disguise, and made my way down to West Hollywood Park to attend some gay weddings - via the Mayor's press badge. 

Little did I know that the first wedding of the day would be George Takei.  The Star Trek guy married his long time partner Brad Altman.  They were in suits and looked handsome. Unfortch, I didn't stay around for the actual "I do's" cause I was melting and starving.  But mazel tov to the happy husbands and the rest of the gays getting hitched in Cali today!

Clea Duvall was spotted out and about in West Hollywood recently.  My source tells me that Ms. Duvall tapped on her car window asking for a light for her cigarette.  Source pushed in her cigarette lighter and waited as Duvall paced back and forth outside her car, asking several times if the light was ready.  When the lighter finally popped, source handed it to Clea who gave a gritty, "thanks man" and then took off.  Source also noted that the actor looked," kinda rough."
