Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne

STV — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:23:11 EST

2/15 — Saw SHARON AND OZZY OSBOURNE in the lounge at the Chateau Marmont. They both looked terrific, dressed in black of course, and dined with some other rocker types. My friends in town from Minneapolis were impressed, but were hoping for a LiLo sighting. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Sean Combs

STV — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:15:07 EST

2/5 — PUFF DADDY going through the motions on an elliptical at Equinox West Hollywood. His bodyguard actually approached my friend and said, "Sean would like your number." She didn't give it to him, but she did confess that his I Am King commercial makes her laugh her ass off every time she sees it. Grown men riding jet skis in white tuxedos is totally her brand of humor. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Anthony Kiedis

STV — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 12:30:10 EST

2/3 — I was doing my almost daily walk to Birds to drown my disappointment with life and who should we see sitting like a normal person at an outdoor table in front of the Bourgeois Pig? ANTHONY KIEDIS, of course. His face looked very gaunt and he was chatting with another man I didn't recognize. But, I will say that Anthony Kiedis still made me a little warm in the pants, even if I do prefer John Frusciante's musical talents.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Jason Segel (Sans Drew Barrymore)

STV — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 13:55:16 EST

1/31 — Was at the Bar Marmont and saw JASON SEGEL, he looked like he was on a date with an unidentified cute blonde. They sat cuddling in a corner, he seemed very interested in the conversation they were having, and even more interested in downing drinks. He seemed friendly as fans came up to him and asked for pictures. Isn't he supposed to be dating Drew Barrymore? Guess not!

Hollywood PrivacyFu**kingWatch: Christian Bale Edition!

Seth — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:44:15 EST

1/2 — Monday night, I went to Via Veneto, a cozy and horribly overpriced little Italian place on Main Street in Santa Monica, there at the back table in the dark shadows...

... sat Mr. CHRISTIAN don’t-ever-walk-on-my-F*cking-set-again BALE with his wife, young daughter and an older couple – it was clearly a quiet family outing in a safe dark place from which to escape the storm of his words. They were mellow and relaxed, but not a lot of smiling going on. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Martin Short

STV — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 18:24:14 EST

1/28 — I gasped and pointed like an amateur when I saw MARTIN SHORT at the Brian Wilson show on January 28. Mainly I was shocked to see him there, but I also couldn't believe how young and handsome he looked. It was like "The Days of the Week" was only yesterday.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Paget Brewster

STV — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:19:39 EST

2/1 — Saw PAGET BREWSTER at the Albertson's in Los Feliz. Apparently she was taking advantage of grocery shopping during the Super Bowl as well... and after the Puppy Bowl, natch. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Peter Jackson Eating a Failure Pile in a Sadness Bowl Edition

STV — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:10:42 EST

1/28 — I was at the Beverly Center food court last night having an overpriced Haagen Dazs with my pretty Indian date, fighting the urge to bring up Slumdog Millionaire because I'm sure a bunch of white guys like me have already used it as a lame conversation piece, when I see PETER JACKSON eating KFC for dinner with his wife and some other woman. He was nursing one of those bowls that looks like something a dog would turn down. I wonder if he valeted or parked across the street at the Beverly Connection like me...

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Kevin McDonald

STV — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:19:49 EST

1/28 — Saw KEVIN MCDONALD (Kids in the Hall, fool!) at the Arclight on Sunset. He was wearing jeans and T-shirt, and fiddling on his phone. Looking kind of old, but I guess he sort of is? I didn't rush up to him and ask for a Sir Simon impression, just gazed adoringly from afar. No one else seemed to notice, but maybe they're just not into Canadian sketch comedy. Their loss, though, amirite? [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Justin Chambers

Seth — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:17:42 EST

1/27 — So I was moving among the gay gladiators of Gold's Gym Hollywood, where who should I find cranking away at the handbike but relatively drama-free Grey's Anatomy hunk JUSTIN CHAMBERS. Here's what I'll tell you about Justin Chambers: handsome, weight-conscious (he got on the scale), entourage- and trainer-free, and generally seemed like a nice guy. How can I tell all this by observing him from a safe distance? I just can. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Jessica Alba and Cash Warren

STV — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:27:33 EST

1/26 — JESSICA ALBA and CASH WARREN courtside at the Clippers/Trailblazers game last night. Everyone knows that Cash is Baron Davis' buddy, so shouldn't they go to a game when Baron actually PLAYS?

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Ryan Kwanten

STV — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 14:31:07 EST

1/25 — RYAN KWANTEN from True Blood at the Wokcano in Santa Monica, which is also apparently a dance club (horrors). He crashed some girl's private party to stand on the elevated balcony (all the better to look down on everyone else) and then proceeded to dance with and chat up girls, even after introducing them to his wife. Um, ick? Also, his IMDb says he is 5'10'' - lies.

UPDATE 1/27: Thanks for the post on Ryan Kwanten. He isn't married though. [No, thank you! Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Jeremy Piven

STV — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 12:22:03 EST

1/24 — Saw JEREMY PIVEN sweating off all of that mercury on the Stairmaster at Equinox. He had bags under his eyes that rivaled Droopy the Dog's. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

PrivacyWatch: Courtney Love And Ben Silverman Drunk On Red Wine And Each Other Edition!

Seth — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:20:14 EST

1/21 — Apocalypse now - COURTNEY LOVE and BEN SILVERMAN (TOGETHER), stumbling out of Giorgio Baldi on Wednesday night. Someone needs to explain this right now.

OK—let's try:

Remember Heavier Than Heaven, the Kurt/Courtney biopic that Love mentioned would be a perfect fit for Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Gosling (later amended to James McAvoy)? It's co-produced by Reveille Motion Pictures—i.e. Ben Silverman's production company—making it perfectly feasible that the two might dine together in Santa Monica Canyon to discuss the project without raising eyebrows or starting rumors that Ben has tapped the Kardashian nemesis and Kelly Ripa-hater to star opposite Rob Lowe in NBC's misguided revival of Hart to Hart.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Olivia Wilde

STV — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:20:39 EST

1/17 — Saw OLIVIA WILDE riding her bike in Venice on Saturday. She looked pretty normal. Hot, but normal. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send any and all sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Stacy Keibler

STV — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 17:12:03 EST

1/18 — The winner of the weekend was STACY KEIBLER at El fucking Guapo of all places. She watching the NFL playoff games on Sunday, dressed in full Baltimore Ravens gear —- Ed Reed jersey and hat and all. We're talking full-on cap and gown. People aren't kidding about her legs. They are crazy. I might have seen other famous people but my 30th B-Day party was that night and I blacked out. [Happy belated!

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Sandra Oh and Eric Stoltz

STV — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 15:19:05 EST

1/11 — Last Sunday my girlfriends and I went to Hugo's in the Valley, and who should we spot hanging out in the parking lot (there was a 25-minute wait) but SANDRA OH and ERIC STOLTZ — together. They were there with 5 or 6 other people, but it was clear they were pretty intimate. She was wearing gym clothes, including a large brown hood which she even wore inside the restaurant, which seemed a little odd as it was about 85 degrees. He was wearing an unfortunate beard, but still looked pretty McDreamy. Or McPulpFiction-y. Not at all McMask-y. My friend went over and gave them her card and they were lovely to her. But that hood and that beard, they really have to go. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Hilary Duff

STV — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:45:02 EST

1/16 — Saw HILARY DUFF at The Delta Spirit show at the El Rey. Actually, she was out front smoking alone with her coven while the band was playing, and I was just walking to Ralphs, but whatever.

Park City PrivacyWatch: Justin Kirk

STV — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:45:11 EST

1/20 — After this morning's screening of Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, there was JUSTIN KIRK shuffling along the front of the Racquet Club theater. Too bundled up, required a triple-take, but those accosting fans looking for pictures gave him away. I think he was supporting Julianne Nicholson, whom he starred with a few years back in Flannel Pajamas. They both wore a lot more clothes today.

Park City PrivacyWatch: Steven Soderbergh & Jules Asner and Kristen Stewart

Seth — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 18:20:44 EST

1/18 — Flying into Salt Lake outta LAX: Mr. Sundance himself STEVEN SODERBERGH and wife JULES ASNER (ahh the pre-Seacrest, E! glory years), and tokin', smokin', vampin', Joan Jettin' Twilight star KRISTEN STEWART.

She was met at the gate by a couple fanboys with merch to sign, which she did, with a smile. I've attached photographic evidence. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]
