Celebrity foot in the mouthitis- a true and embarrassing story


Well, living so close to Larchmont, I have celebrities since I last wrote. I see Michael Rapaport sometimes. A couple weeks ago I saw Tony Shalhoub and his wife. I have seen David Krumholtz

This past weekend I saw Dennis Rodman.

Although seeing the above mentioned people has been very fun to report, I have been wondering how long it would take to see someone from movies I have really liked or television shows that I love watching. After being here slightly over a year, I did finally see someone from a television show that I loved that went off the air. I think some of you know who I am talking about, because I proceeded to text a few of you from the bar I was at.

There have been only three t.v shows that I have really been a die hard fan of. They are The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Twin Peaks and Alias. When these shows went off the air, I can honestly say I had a bit of a mourning period. I really really loved Alias. I know it went down the path of just not making too much sense ( The same people also did Lost, so many of you might know what I am talking about.) I really thought that the second season of Alias was one of the best seasons of t.v. in a really long time. That being said, you could imagine what it was like for me to run into one of Alias' main characters, the handsome and dastardly Julian Sark
at this club.

I didn't say anything though. Just a smile. I did not want to make that horrible mistake of putting my foot in my mouth like I did when I met up face to face a lead "singer"of a hip hop group I love. What I said to him was.............................................................

"I think you are the bomb"

Which any of you know is not something I say. Usually I am quite eloquent. But as I found out that day outside the concert tour bus, I have a case of celebrity foot in the mouth-itis. It is a very embarrassing incurable disease. With symptoms that include, blushing, stuttering and possession of the inflicted by a much less eloquent and base self.

What I had wanted to say to him was "I am really impressed by you, usually people who come out of Julliard go in a very classical directions. It is great that you are using your talents to touch more people. It is so rare for hip hop groups to be so musically talented."

but no.. "You are the bomb."

So, I didn't say one word to Mr. Anders. Even though the friend I was with knew him personally, I just couldn't do it. I didn't want to be known as the girl who said "Sark, you are the bomb."

By the way I have never told anyone about the "bomb" story. This is an I am here exclusive, one of my most embarrassing moments. So if we run into each other this summer feel free to tell me I am the bomb. I will appreciate it. For those of you to do not know what it means, it is basically street slang for really great or good. (although no one uses this anymore)

I still can't believe I said that.
