St. Louis doesn’t see many celebrities. We hang our hat oversized sunglasses on musicians like Nelly and Chuck Berry (which, by the way, I can’t believe I just grouped the two of them in the same sentence), and movie stars like John Goodman and…Brad Pitt? (Hey, he’s from Missouri. Close enough.) If I’m not mistaken – which I definitely could be – the last movie to be filmed here was a movie featuring Jessica Alba called Bill. Didn’t see it? That’s okay, neither did I.
But, the cosemetically-enhanced Hollywood Gods have smiled upon the city once again and brought us Midwestern women one of the finest specimens of the male species: George Clooney. Yep, he’s here, right in my very own city. And the women folk in this city? They are going CAH-RAY-ZEE! Except for me, of course. It’s just George Clooney. It’s not like John Stamos is in town or anything. No need to get all worked up over a small-time, semi-attractive actor like George.
Oh who the hell am I kidding? George has spent the majority of this week filming downtown and I have made more Starbucks runs in the last week than I have in the last two months. All I can say is, he must not be a Starbucks guy. But had I just been in the right place at the right time, I could have been the one claiming ownership of these photos:
(I don’t know who took these photos so the best I can do is attribute them to Mr. or Ms. One Lucky Bitch or Bastard)
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some Clooney stalking weekend planning to do. And maybe one more Starbucks run, just in case.
Well I have actually ran into AC Slator(saved by the bell) once at a bar when i first moved to Baton Rouge. Our conversation went like this.
Me: Hey Slator what happening (it was very loud and I had a few drinks)
Slator: looks and doesnt say anything
Me: Slator lets do shots.
slator: no thats ok and walks away
me: Zach was cooler than you a**hole
I probably should blog about this life changing experience :)
George Clooney, John Krasinski (my TV boyfriend) and Renee Zellweger were here in Winston-Salem when they were filming Leatherheads and I didn’t see any of them. Not once. I was heartbroken. Best of luck to you!
If you see him, call me. I’ll stop what I’m doing and come to sneak a peek at him too. I hear he’s more of an organic foods guy. The Trader Joe’s by Irish is stocking his trailer during his stay here as Mr. Clooney’s movie assistants have gone their twice to get him food!
I partied in the frat house where Brad Pitt lived and I saw the composite picture, too. not the same as really seeing him, but hey, a girl can dream…
correction: * there. I do know how to type/spell. Clearly not on a Friday!
Looks like I need to be in St Louis!
Mmmm George Clooney. Love him.
P.S. Mario Lopez (AC Slater) is a DOUCHE. He hosted one of our shows and is S.L.I.M.Y.
I was cashiering and Faith Hill came through my line just before Christmas. She is so very nice!
I just found your blog!
This is a hilarious post. haha :)
