One time I was at BED at the Monday night "Secret Society" soiree -- a staple among the South Beach party crowd -- and Justin Timberlake was partying with pals at a neighboring "bed." Without realizing it I was standing with a buddy of mine next to JT, who was dancing and scanning the crowd for attractive ladies. He sees my friend Josh (who was also scanning the crowd for attractive ladies) lock eyes with nearby girl. Timberlake turns to us and introduces himself and then, out of nowhere, pulls the girl over and says to her, "meet my friend Josh." You would think that kind of introduction would seal the deal, but the two quickly ran out of conversation.
My friend everytime he's sees someone in a jersey says look theres Dan Marino? When really its someone wearing his jersey. We went to see the Movie 3000 He starts again LOOK THERES HULK HOGAN so I ignored him til we were WALKING DOWN the stairs & LOW & BEHOLD it was Hulk Hogan we beat him to the door, I ended up holding the door open for Mr. Hogan He didn't say anything.
I talked to Elvis Costello Friday night at the Miami City Ballet and blushed the entire time. He's gotten older, but he's *still* hot.
I got on a down elevator at the Ritz Carlton South Beach with Snoop Dogg who was all tricked out in his rap gear but deeply engrossed in the Wall St. Journal. I thought this would do nada for his street cred but nonetheless he does, in addition to being a smoke afficianado, consider himself a business man. I said nothing to him, but pondered asking how the market was doing and whether shares in Baby Phat were on the rise.
Hey, I saw Hulk Hogan last night at Prime 112. And Diddy spinning at Cameo. And I even ran into NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in the men's bathroom of the Omni Hotel after Super Bowl XLI. He was one urnal over!
I gave Sammy Sosa a high five at Pearl (R.I.P.) @ Nikki Beach; saw Hulk Hogan at Lime; and Luther Campbell outside of Wet Willies.
Interesting section...a few I can remember, all on Miami Beach:
Hulk Hogan and Anna Kournikova routinely at Gold's Gym. Iggy Pop regularly at an ATM on 41st when he used to live on Bay. Marisa Tomei at Wolfy's before it was torn down. Shaq at the movie theater and once coming out of a neighbor's apt. Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman at a voting rally at the botanical garden. Buster from A3TV all the time LOL.
When my kids played baseball, there were often children of Heat players (and children of O.J.) on their teams. I have to say pro athletes behave better than most other parents while attending these games. No yelling at the umpires, coaches or kids on the other team. I guess they know from experience the kids are just there to have a good time.
