TUESDAY, AUGUST 21
· Sitting in a booth at the recently re-opened Fab's on Van Nuys Blvd in Sherman Oaks at 8pm, Mr. "Hey, Spike Lee, Shut Your Pie-Hole" himself, CLINT EASTWOOD, speaking in hushed tones while dining with Sinatra's favorite opening comic, Tom Dreesen. I couldn't hear if Clint said to the waiter, "Go ahead, make my Chicken Marsala." Even at 93 [Ed. Note: He's actually only 78], Clint looks like he could kick some serious butt.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 22
· It was celeb night on Friday 8/22 at the AMC theater at the Century City Mall. Spotted PETE WENTZ standing outside with friends. His hair is flat ironed to oblivion and he is short, almost alarmingly so. Kept his hoodie on the whole time. Jessica's pregnant sister was nowhere in sight.

Then, a few minutes later, ELLEN POMPEO (that's Meredith Grey to you) walked by hand-in-hand with her hubby. Super skinny and wearing gross, skin tight white jeans, white shirt with trashy sky high black heels. They were in a rush which made her look like she walks funny because she clearly couldn't handle those heels. We decided she was dressed like a Staten Island prostitute.

We decided to hold out a few more minutes on the hope we would spot an elusive A-lister. And before we knew it, PUFF DADDY walked by sans entourage! He is indeed puffy. Mr. Mogul needs to get back to running marathons for charity. He was wearing sunglasses. At 10:30pm. And he was texting while walking briskly. Who says men can't multi-task?

· Equinox West Hollywood. PUFF DADDY (again!) makes his entourage wait in the juice bar while he grabs a steam.

· JUSTIN LONG and KIRSTEN DUNST were spotted Friday night at the Dragonfly, checking out the show Point Break LIVE! She sat behind him w/ her girlfriends, but Justin kept turning around to talk to her & see her reaction to the craziness onstage.

·Bristol Farms, West Hollywood, 5:30PM (ish). Looking determined to get out and towing a tow-headed child: RYAN PHILLIPPE. Taller than I would have expected, and beefier (but by no means tall). I don't know if he's moved to the neighborhood but the shopping cart was brimming. In case he is, a word of advice: I know it's technically West Hollywood, but the look you should be going for should be more "Daddy out shopping for groceries with my kids on Beverly" and less "Out shopping for a Daddy to buy my groceries on Santa Monica".

SATURDAY, AUGUST 23
· He's not a household name, but with 33 film and 40 television credits, let's just say I was surprised to see SEAN WHALEN selling blenders at the Burbank Costco on Saturday, miked up, dressed in a white lab coat and white paper hat. He usually plays nerds, but now he's extolling the virtues of raw food smoothies. Ouch.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 24
· Sunday night at the Radiohead show. Saw SANDRA OH with several dudes scrambling to get to their seats. She looked flustered, yet excited. Also saw SETH GREEN in line between songs waiting for beers. He was sporting a trucker hat and has a big, shaggy red beard. He looks like he belongs under a bridge waiting for three billy goats gruff.

Lastly, also saw BALTHAZAR GETTY near the beer line between songs, wearing douchey skinny jeans and chomping on cigarettes. Dude looked like he was having way too much fun, like he'd just ditched his wife and kids for a hot chick who likes to bang while only wearing a sailor's hat. Oh, wait...

· As I approached the cool 'n' groovy Santa Monica/Fairfax Whole Foods, I saw two paps outside aiming their lenses into the store. Store security blocked their view. I heard someone say, "She's the one in orange," and then noticed LAUREN CONRAD in a cute orange summer dress, casual hair, grinding her own peanut butter near the bulk grains. No, she did not have an assistant to pour in the peanuts and press the button for her. When I left she was checking out, the paps were lining up, and the Whole Foods security guys, looking vaguely energized, were preparing to escort Ms. Conrad to her vehicle.

MONDAY, AUGUST 25
· Monday night, Radiohead at the Bowl. After briefly encountering JARED LETO (dressed a bit like Shia in Indiana Jones) on the concourse leading a small scuzzy posse around and claiming that he had extra seats, I was surprised to see him all alone in the pool circle up front where I was seated (second row, yo!). Jared apparently ditched his "boys" and tried a bum rush to get up front as the lights went down. Multiple security guards stopped him and he immediately went into "Don't you know who I am?" mode. At first it was high-larious, but then it became a bit pathetic. And then it became a lot pathetic. He just would not give up. It didn't matter. They hauled him away just before the band came out and killed it.

I'd like to believe that Radiohead hates Jared's stupid fucking band and the noise pollution he calls music as much as I and everyone else at the show does, and that they ordered security to remove him from their immediate vicinity, but more than likely Thom Yorke has never heard of 30 (Minutes? Miles? I refuse to google.) to Mars. To Thom, it was probably just another dumb asshole without a ticket getting the boot from the front. Which is exactly what it was.

·Saw JAMES WOODS on 8/25 on Burton Way near Raffles L'Ermitage Beverly Hills. He was on the phone and completely plugged into it. Looks pretty good for a man his age. No sign of his 20 year old girl anywhere.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 26
· Comedy Antichrist DANE COOK was at Crunch. His name was on the marquee at the Laugh Factory across the street, so I'm guessing it was some sort of pre- or post-show routine. If you imagined that he'd work out in a backwards baseball cap and muscle shirt, thereby confirming your image of him as a superannuated, doughy-faced, overgrown frat boy - you'd be correct.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27
· Two fun (separate) sightings. Saw Kevin (BRAIN BAUMGARTNER) from Scrantonicity (and, yes, The Office); and, Chuck (ZACHARY LEVI), from, well, Chuck at the Studio City Starbucks. Both taking meetings around the corner at the NBC/Universal building? Kevin wearing shorts, Chuck driving a gas-guzzling Chevy Tahoe. Bad choices, boys.

· Eyed R&B sensation/masturbation fantasy CIARA placing a to-go order at the El Pollo Loco on Sunset and Crescent Heights around 4:40pm. Body was insane.

· I was walking back to my office from Rick's Tavern yesterday around 8:35pm going South on Main St when, lo and behold, JERRY SEINFELD was walking the opposite direction. He was with a group of like 3 or 4 friends and looking casual but good. Hoodie and glasses and admiring the motor bikes parked on the street.

· Saw Seymore Butts (born ADAM GLASSER) in the Miracle Mile Marie Callender's today. No cameras, no nudity, no sex acts being performed. But seriously, I saw Seymore Butts!!!

FRIDAY, AUGUST 29
· Walking through the hallways of a building deep in the heart of Toluca Lake around 3:30pm is FARRAH FAWCETT. Farrah raised her head to look me in the eye with a a look that said "Yes I am Farrah Fawcett and don't talk to me" Farrah had heavy duty perfume situation going on that wafted in the hallway well after she left the building. Christie Brinkley is about the same age as her but Farrah looks like she has been through the ringer and had a rough, rough hard drinking, hard partying, heavy tanning life. Use sunscreen, kids. Use Sunscreen.

· Not sure if KEVIN FEDERLINE is a real "sighting" but we saw Father of The Year at Malibu Seafood on Friday. Did not look overly douche-y. Was with a few guys, both whom I recognized but neither that I could place.

· We saw JOHN C. REILLY out in Dublin's (as in, Ireland) posh south side last Friday. We couldn't remember his name right off. We called him "Not-Will-Ferrell". He didn't seem to mind.

At the premiere of his latest film, Step Brothers, Will Ferrell attempted to use his newly acquired telepathic skills to make peoples' head explode. Ferrell recently watched the 1981 David Cronenberg film Scanners and felt inspired to pursue the telepathic arts. Ferrell said, "I started out small. Using my mind to blow up cantaloupes, watermelons. You know, the Gallagher classics. Now, I feel that I'm ready to move onto bigger things."

*A Call To The Bullpen is a work of fiction. Although the pictures we use are most certainly real, Defamer does not purport that any of the incidents or quotations you see in this piece actually happened. Lighten up, people ... it's a joke.

In today's episode: Brad Pitt; John C. Reilly; Martin Sheen; Emilio Esteves; T.R. Knight; Larry King; Andre 3000; David Spade, Eric Dane, James Blunt, Jesse Metcalfe, and Joey Fatone; Jeremy Sisto, Horatio Sanz, French Stewart, and Ken Davitian; Adrian Grenier; Ryan Reynolds; Denise Richards; Neil Patrick Harris; Milo Ventimiglia; Chloe Sevigny and Keshia Knight Pulliam; Justin Chatwin and Molly Sims; Jennifer Finnigan, Jonathan Silverman, Michael McDonald; Jackie Warner and Rebecca Cardon; Common; Dave Grohl; M.C. Hammer and Alfonso Ribeiro.

· Today (3/17) I went for a late lunch at Lucy's El Adobe in Hollywood and as I was walking in from the back, seated outside, was none other than Brad Pitt and two studio types. He looked good, nice motorcycle jacket and jeans.

· John C. Reilly was with his family at the Hastens bed store in Culver City on Saturday. Hastens sells the world's most expensive mattresses. Mr. Reilly was decidedly unfriendly and just scowled when a fellow conspicuous consumer said hello. According to the sales lady, he had just spent $24,000.00 on a mattress! Perhaps that was why he was so grumpy.

· Saturday, 3/17, at the Peace Rally/War Protest thing on Hollywood Blvd - wandering through the group of hippies/college students/public television journalists I spotted Martin Sheen, out mixing with the protesters. Looking casual in jeans and a green hoodie, he was surrounded by people interviewing him with mini tape recorders and video cameras. He didn't seem to have any security or bodyguards by his side, just a man in a suit and a turban who was patiently waiting for some one-on-one time.

· Saw Emilio Esteves today (3/19) at Co-op in Santa Monica around 2:00pm. He ordered a sandwich from the deli counter, wandered aimlessly around the store, and then picked up a basket for his shopping convenience. He looked kinda chunky and was wearing faded cheap-looking jeans (maybe circa 1992) with a sweatshirt and grubby sneakers. Not gonna lie, I was kinda disappointed in Mr. Mighty Ducks. Looked more like a guy from a construction site than a powerful Hollywood family.

· Tuesday evening, 3-19, spotted T.R. Knight at Gold's Hollywood. Standing around with a trainer in the weight room for a while, but not lifting anything. I've seen Eric Dane there too! (But not recently, so don't bold that.)

· Driving through the flats today in Beverly Hills, I stopped for Larry King as he walked across the street in front of me. He was by himself and appeared to be in reasonably decent shape—considering he had surgery to unblock his carotid artery only 3 days ago! He was intently talking on his cellphone the entire time I watched him, but he also had a tube extending down behind his right ear. I think he must now also be in a contest with his wife Shawn as to who gets the thinnest. Larry is VERY thin.

· I saw Andre 3000 of Outkast looking very tame and low-key at the Ralph's supermarket at the corner of Ventura and Vineland. It was Saturday night (3/17) around midnight. He was there with another guy and girl.

· if you ever want to watch david spade enter Les Deux (and why would you?) you could have last night at 10:25 PM (Friday, 3.16). He was trailed by 3 girls and Kevin Farley brought up the rear of his starting 5. (more people came or accumulated later). Nobody thought he had "dookie drawers", but it would be hard to tell. Maybe he caught wind of the last PW post and is self conscious because he was sporting an out of place black knee length winter trench coat and matching black generic sneakers that looked almost orthopedic. A promoter guy with a cane greeted him at the rope with a hug and assured him "I put you in table 104", which turned out to be the 4th table counting counter clockwise from the bar in the garden. Also in attendance but not with Spade: James Blunt, Joey Fatone, Jesse Metcalfe, and some blonde girl from "Beauty and the Geek". McSteamy/Eric Dane. He was there too.

· These all occurred Saturday, 17 March (the last one was the next morning):

The night started out with a frail-ish French Stewart standing behind us at an ATM in Hollywood. I never realized that the perpetual squinty look he has is actually his face and not something he does when in character. He was not wearing any green that I noticed.

Then, on the first beer run of the night, at a convenience store on Franklin, a semi-bloated Jeremy Sisto (minus any green clothing) wandered in alone and loitered by the broken ATM machine. Sigh. I'd still hit it.

On the second beer run of the night, at the Mayfair Market on Franklin, we saw Horatio Sanz accompanied by a girl who, at first glance, appeared to be Lisa Loeb (but upon further consideration couldn't have been much older than 21). They were both unenthusiastically dressed for the holiday - him in a red/grey flannel shirt and cargo shorts and her in a blue minidress. They purchased what would normally be an outrageous amount of beer (not all of it would fit in their cart) but, hey - St. Patrick's Day.

The next morning saw Ken Davitian (thank you, IMDB) at the Claim Jumper Northridge location. He opened the door for his wife (?) and let it slam in my face. How rude!

Also: Saw Adrian Grenier plus at least 7 people celebrating a very hipster St. Patty's Day with brunch at Dusty's in Silverlake. He looked pretty good, definitely very Eastside, and was a total normal person height (not mini like all the rest of those Hollywood leading men Tom Cruise).

· Fri 3/16 @ 11:50am - Van Wilder himself, Ryan Reynolds, getting ready to ride off on his silver Ducati motorcycle on Roxbury Drive and little Santa Monica. The bike caught my attention first before the rider.

· Denise Richards and blonde lady friend at the Brentwood Country Mart this afternoon (3-19). Denise is a total babe in person too. And yes, even skinnier.

· Doogie Howser MD aka Neil Patrick Harris at the original and still best Katsu-ya in Studio City on Sunday March 18. Rollin' in a Prius. The albacore was great.

· Today (3/16), saw Milo Ventimiglia of "Gilmore Girls" and "Heroes" fame at Wahoo's in West LA. He was just as hot in person and seemed very laid-back.

· I was at the Apple store at The Grove (3-16). First, a nostalgia moment... Upstairs waiting for the Genius Bar peeps was little Rudy Huxtable all growed up. Miss Keshia Knight Pulliam in a green t and jeans looking very normal, attractive and low key. Next, a moment that just made me angry. Stupid Chloe Sevigny wearing some dumpy retro shorts/dress stiff something of somesort shopping for headphones. She just makes me want to spit. twice. Not that I'm in a mood or anything. clean karma... clean karma...

· Spotted right in front of me @ the spanish kitchen on La Cienaga. Molly Sims and hottie boyfriend Justin Chatwin. They're kissing and cuddling and she is really pretty and really skinny but not at all intimidating looking. Sigh, it's just not fair.

· It was a long, long Saturday, filled to the brim with vodka and limes. Due to the beautiful weather, I felt it necessary to eject myself from my house and go to Marix. In a sea of green (everyone seemed to have gotten the memo but me, about St Patty's day...) sitting delicately amongst her usual crew of beautiful gays, was 3 time daytime emmy award winning actress and prime time star of the CBS drama Close to Home, Jennifer Finnigan. Her slightly washed up (but maybe having a carreer revival?) fiancegay... I mean fiance Jonathan Silverman was there too. At some point a parade of others tromped in, including the ever ready comedic wonder that is Michael McDonald (Stewart from Mad TV).

Then I went to the Abbey where that tired old lez Jackie Warner was all handsy with newly minted gal pal/lesbian Rebecca Cardon, who also used to be on the Amazing Race. She is SMOKIN'.

· Rapper/Actor/Gap-shiller Common at Campanile last night (3/19). Was with an attractive woman, seemed like could've been a date. They were drinking tea throughout dinner; consistent with his whole vegetarian thing.

· Saw Dave Grohl at the Studio City Farmer's Market yesterday (3-18). He was the ultimate cool dad, sporting the baby bjorn and carrying his baby girl. He is obviously less germ-phobic than me because he took her into the petting zoo to check out the animals.

· M.C. Hammer sunday 3/19 right around 10p at Mann Chinese 6 He spent nearly as much time at the condiment bar as i spent in their slow ass concession line, which was literally 15 minutes... The former M.C. was sporting a Sean Jean hoodie, which i could not help but find ironic... He wasn't in my movie, but i assume he was going to check out Norbit...

· How sad is my life that I spent fifteen minutes tonight on Google figuring out that it was Alfonso Ribeiro who was staring at me at the Studio City Hand Carwash (yeah, the one with the big effing hand holding the car on Ventura Blvd.) this morning (3/16). I never watched "Fresh Prince," but the geek lobe in my brain is so large and all-encompassing that there was still room in it for his image, in spite of all the Star Trek trivia I've been trying to forget for 25 years filling it up.

After writing song titles and lyric fragments into the screenplay, Kasdan and Apatow reached out to musicians they admired who could use the script cues for songwriting inspiration. The brainstorming has resulted in songs like Cox's first huge hit, "Walk Hard"; a tune from his "dangerous period" called "Guilty as Charged" and songs from a protest album he turns out during his socially conscious political phase named "These Are My Issues." [...]

Though Kasdan showed off his songwriting skills in his first film, "Zero Effect," which included star Bill Pullman performing two songs they had co-written, he and Apatow will not be performing on the "Walk Hard" soundtrack. "We both play really mediocre adolescent Jewish-boy-who-loved-Bob-Dylan, campfire-type guitar," Kasdan jokes. "We both know the same six chords."

Longtime friends and collaborators ("Freaks and Geeks," "Undeclared"), Kasdan and Apatow wrote the script, mostly over the phone, in the spring after Kasdan offhandedly mentioned the idea and Apatow "totally responded to it, in the way that he is able to do, and immediately came up with 40 jokes on that phone call," Kasdan says.

It's creative synergy like that—40 troubled rocker jokes in a single phone call!—which separates the Hollywood writing team champions from the also-rans: Those pairs of petulant partners you find at the Bourgeois Pig, bickering over who was responsible for composing their "tattoo artist girl meets 9/11 survivor" romcom project's single page of dialogue, while hurling accusations that the sipping of a latte too loudly was a conscious effort to trigger the other's writer's block.
