Last weekend I was in LA, visiting my brother - he lives in Studio City. I was getting a mani/pedi at Nail Garden, waiting for my pedi to dry, and in walks Margo Martindale! And she sat down next to me! I asked if it was her, told her I LOVED The Americans and I was hoping they would win at the Emmys. She was lovely. She asked what color polish I got, I told her, she told her manicurist she wanted my color - ha! I helped her with her crossword puzzle. We had a nice, 30-minute conversation. I finally decided to leave, thanked her for a lovely chat. I asked if it would be ok to grab a quick selfie, she said yes. I told her I wasn’t that good at selfies (I’m not, my arms are short) and she said “Hold the phone up - Meryl Streep told me that!” OMG!! Highlight of my trip.

A few summers ago, my family and I were in Mystic, CT with friends and their kids. A couple walking their dog walked by us outside an ice cream shop. My daughter and my friend’s daughter stopped them to ooh and aah over the dog and I quickly looked at the woman and blurted “you look like the actress from the Americans” and she replied, “I AM the actress from the Americans” with a sweet smile. It was Mrs. Stan! I told her how much I loved the show and she thanked me.

It's . . . weird to know that a major celebrity gets their home decor from Home Goods, just like I do. I am in that store at least once a month looking for stuff! Celebs, they are just like us! I'm not a huge fan of hers either, but I give her props for coming out publicly about the situation on The Predator movie. I remember watching her 73 Questions with Vogue or whatever it's called and she seems to live in a pretty modest apartment/condo, at least by Hollywood standards. Celebs, they are just like us!

I met and briefly spoke with Peter Berg at work yesterday, he's filming something here with Mark Wahlberg while we're closed on Monday and he and the movie's location manager were here checking things out. They asked me a few basic questions about how certain equipment and procedures work in my department. I didn't know it was Peter Berg at the time, I just knew he looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't place him until another co-worker said he was directing the Mark Wahlberg thing and a lightbulb went off in my head. Anyways, both Berg and the location manager (whose name I didn't catch) were very professional and polite. Berg noticed I was coughing and I said I had a cold, and on his way out he said he hoped I felt better soon. The only negative aspect of the whole thing was that I noticed he had really gross fingernails, like he hadn't cut them in a while and there was dirt under them.
The co-worker who told me Berg was directing the thing is getting some sweet overtime pay for working on Monday while they're filming, and he's under strict orders to provide me all the juicy details about Wahlberg.

The whole fucking pile of Kardashians are in my office building today for a Vogue event. I knew something was up with all the extra security and people dressed to the nines while posturing in the lobby. I just presumed it was about Armani, whose atelier is just downstairs from me. They waltzed in while I was waiting for an elevator and looked every bit as plastic and pathetic in person as you would expect. Really very not attractive. They're also extremely short and need stilettos just to reach average height.
I was unimpressed. And strangely very bored.

While in Milan, Italy, last week, Johnny Depp may have walked past our tour group. He was short, wearing a blue suit, had a pony tail with greasy hair, and dark sunglasses.
But he had... that presence. And he was walking with a tall brunette.

Rachel Dratch sat next to me on the C train Tuesday afternoon. She got on with her son at 59th street.

My friend told me this weekend she was hiking in upstate NY and Michelle Williams and her daughter were hiking alongside them.
