January
5-6 – Once our new year hangovers had cleared, we noticed
that super-Friend Jennifer Aniston was
in town, reportedly for two weeks. She appeared on Late
Night with David Letterman to promote her new comedy,
Along Came Polly, and hosted Saturday Night Live
on the 10th. No Brad sightings yet, but you’ll
be the first to know.
Maybe it was just
mad, er, bad taste, but check out the cow-print cloak
on Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly’s
infant son Stellan in the photo at left.
We joined singer/actress
Mandy Moore and her Chasing Liberty
costar, Brit Matthew Goode, at the NBA store
where they read to fifty second-grade students. They read
from Moore’s childhood favorite, titled “If You
Give a Mouse a Cookie”. Moore said she’s glad
that Chasing Liberty’s comedic plot depends
on an ensemble of actors, because “I’m terribly
unfunny”. After the reading, the actors took questions
from the kids, and we realized the room was full of budding
journalists: aside from reading, Moore’s favorite hobby
is shopping, and Goode likes playing golf.
There was lots
of famous muscle flexing at Chelsea Piers that evening at
the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s Muscle Team gala.
With athletes like NY Giants Jesse Palmer
and Dhani Jones and others on hand, all the
attention was focused on Sports Illustrated swimsuit
model Petra Nemcova. How much attention?
Someone bid over $20,000 for an evening with the beauty, proceeds
to the MDA.
We hailed a golf
cart and chugged over to Madison Square Garden to find Chloe
Sevigny practicing on the (plastic) greens, swinging
for the Children’s Miracle Network. This was a miniature
golf classic hosted by hockey star Eric Lindros
of the New York Rangers. Pssst Chloe, that hunky Matthew Goode
likes golf…
