As the weather warms up ever so slightly, we're seeing a better turn out at the run. A Big Celebrity even showed up today, the beautiful indie actress Parker Posey, with her little white dog, Gracie. Everyone pretended they didn't know who she was. Well, actually, most people DIDN'T know who she was. Okay, if you're so smart, quickly name three of her films. See?
The Academy Awards are coming up, and we may have a pool. $1.00 to enter, one ballot only and the entrant (is that a word?) with the closest accuracy takes the pool. Top categories only. (I am checking with Mayor Bloomberg to make sure this is legal.) And yes, Bob we will accept absentee ballots.
While we're talking Hollywood, Rags reports that he once "saw Daniel Day-Lewis naked". And it wasn't in a movie, it was in Real Life. No, not at a bath house, kids, at a GYM. A regular old non-sexually discriminating, no sex even legally allowed, gym. Despite having played a gay man before Heath Ledger was even old enough to legally have a beer (remember our Danny boy breaking taboos in "My Beautiful Launderette"?) we believe Mr. Day-Lewis, despite having a hyphenated last name, despite being British, despite being beautiful, is as straight as the line from Sidney to a piece of lamb's lung. (Not that there's anything wrong with it.)
And, according to Rags, yes, it was real, and yes, it was spectacular.
On the religious front, I have uncovered evidence that the Church of Scientology has turned John Travolta into a DOG. Here he is rehearsing for an upcoming "Grease" 30th Anniversary tribute with Olivia Newton John:

Didn't you read that Angela Cartwright (voice of Bart Simpson on The Simpsons) just gave 10 million dollars to the Church of Scientology? Obviously, that was so they wouldn't turn HER into a dog. Wow, what a wacky religion. I wonder who she's supporting for President.
My friend Bobby Pinn is featured in tomorrow's Sunday Times travel section. He has an East Village Rock & Roll Walking Tour you can go on for $29. I actually give the same tour but mine costs a LOT more. I'm like the Linda Evangelista of Walking Tour Guides, and I don't even THINK of getting out of bed for less than $10,000. But hey, that's me. Bobby's tour is very popular, I see him on my block several times a week with a gaggle of tourists.
Beth, mother of Dugan, who sent me the John Travolta link, also gives us this total time-waster:

I scored 75 on my first two games. I think that makes me slightly smarter than a 5th grader, but only just.
The Saturday Times had a big article about the dogs rescued from Michael Vicks dog fighting ranch. Vicks had to pay nearly a million dollars towards the rehabilitation of the dogs and they were all adopted by rescue places, except one that had to be put down. One of the rehab centers is Dogtown which is featured on the National Geographic Channel (channel 65 on Time Warner) after the Dog Whisperer. The article is pretty inspirational. Would that Veronica Cartwright had donated her 10 million to Dogtown, then she could rest assured that even if Scientology did turn her into a dog, she could find a welcoming home there. Some people just don't think things through.
Barbara, Tucker's mom, alerts us to the existence of Pandora.com which provides unlimited FREE music of many types, so check that out if you like music.
While the most famous Ground Hog, Punxsutawney Phil, saw his shadow and predicts 6 more weeks of winter, apparently there's a Staten Island Ground Hog who is blind and saw nothing. So I'm going with him.
Let's all get ready for Christina's Super Bowl Party tomorrow, all you can eat and drink from noon on. It's being held at Pier 42. Here's a little tape of the little bash Chrissie threw on St. Patrick's Day last year. People are still talking about it.

That's all folks. See you at the run.
