Okay, I have no idea why I wrote Lou Bega, because that's simply wrong. I met B.B. King, and I just double-checked this with my mother. In my defense I was only 8 at the time, and I remembered that he was an African-American artist. Might've been because Lou Bega got quite popular the same year, and when I listened to Mambo No. 5 a couple of weeks ago when pre-gaming I was 100% sure that I had met him.

If I remember correctly, it was the summer of 1999 going from Spain to Oslo.

jessica alba was on my flight from Heathrow to LAX on Sunday. Saw her window shopping in the terminal but didn't think it was her until I saw her walk to the plane.

Very minor celebrity, but today I had the misfortune of trying to guard Greg Carr, 6-6 former All-Acc receiver (and briefly a Charger) in basketball.

Not an unexpected encounter, but dinner with Quincy Jones.

She lives 2 blocks away but for some reason, never bumped into her in the neighborhood. Until yesterday, when she was walking around with an entourage of 4 or 5 friends. I have to say that she looked very pretty (even with sunglasses) and was wearing a cute tattersall button-down shirt, unbuttoned quite low so all could see her glorious clivage and sexy bra.

Saw a hood regular, Famke Janssen, on Saturday walking her funny looking little eye-crossed french bulldog. Last weekend, saw another neighborhood celeb family (Liev & Naomi and their two super cute blonde kids) stroll around in the park.

Last week I walked a while behind a rather short, elderly gentleman. He was wearing a pretty nice blue DB suit. When I passed him, I briefly turned around to check the suit out. It took me a while to recognize Edouard Balladur (I was looking at the suit, not at the face), and I think he was wondering why I was eyeing him out.
