Something Rich and Strange

Just arrived in Hollywood and already I’m seeing stars (no, I wasn’t hit on the head by luggage in the overhead compartment that shifted during flight)! I’m staying with friends at an exclusive A-lister enclave at Sunset and La Cienega. Was able to surreptitiously snap a pic of Paul Sorvino (you know, father of more famous progeny, Oscar winner Mira, and star of TV and movies including such notables as “Repo! The Genetic Opera,” “Mafia Doctor” and “Vasectomy: a Delicate Matter”(in all fairness, he has had roles in some highly-regarded films and you can click here to view them).

To be accurate, I didn't see Sorvino in the flesh, but his bust (as in his sculpture, not his chest). I’m told it’s a self-bust, which makes this sighting (on his exclusive patio, no less!) all the more meaningful. In a nod to all my baseball-obsessed readers (you know who you are), he did play former Yankees coach Joe Torre in the movie-of-the-week epic, aptly named, “Joe Torre: Curveballs Along the Way.”

I’ll be on the lookout for more celebrity fodder over the next couple of days, so check back often. I’m told that we have a good chance of running into other mega wattage celebs, such as any Kardashian spawn and people who are famous for, uh, being famous (statistically, the latter is more likely due to a larger pool from which to draw).
