Celine Dion, Sinking Ships, and a Hearthrob

Everytime I hang out with my friends back home the first thing they want to know is....

"Have you seen anyone famous?"

The magazines build up star sightings by constantly tallying where any and nobody has been. There are always stories hyping it up with lines like: "So and so was spotted here... Love birds x and y were all over each other at this hot night club... A-listers blah and blah were caught dinning in the Village." Throw movie sets into the mix and I understand how my friends believe that celebs are crawling all over the concrete jungle of Manhattan.

Yesterday was a day that my friends would jump and get giddy and take pictures and talk about for days. Not gonna lie, I kinda semi a little bit got excited too when I approached my house. After hitting up a little Trader Joe's to buy some two-buck chuck (great cheap wine .. a must try if you have not) I'm walking and notice crowds of people all over the street. In addition to that there are 1950's type cars lined up on one side of the street. You see a lot living here, but that is not a normal sight. Instant thought: movie set.

Of all the movie sets I've walked by (most recently was the newest Bourne Identity) I've never actually seen the lead actor. Until yesterday.

"That's a cut," someone yells. The crowds part and that is when I see him. Mr. Titanic himself, Leo DiCaprio. Umm.. hello. I do not care who you are, the guy is a stud. And he was standing on the street right behind my house. Too bad he was working, I would've offered him some two-buck chuck. Haha...
