So your publicist failed to get you an invite to the latest red carpet event. No worries. Grab a friend and check out these hot spots where you can hob nob with the stars.
Runyon Canyon, Hollywood Hills – Paparazzi at the bottom of the hill is a clear indication there is a serious A-lister up in the hiking trails. The camera crews are usually too lazy to follow them up the steep incline so it’s your chance to see the famous up close and paparazzi free.
Target, West Hollywood – Everybody loves a bargain! Even the famous. So why not buy your toilet paper where you have the chance to have an American Idol star waiting behind you in line at the checkout counter. Best bets for star sightings: The toiletries section.
Barney’s New York, Beverly Hills – A slice of the Big Apple in Tinsel Town means fabulous shopping and famous clientele. Now that’s a win-win!
Robertson Boulevard, West Hollywood – The Newsroom Cafe, Ceconni’s, The Ivy and The Abbey are no strangers to celebs. I ran into Cher exiting a furniture boutique in broad daylight, and she wasn’t wearing makeup. Nuf’ said!
The Grove, Los Angeles – Take a careful look at who’s enjoying the café culture near the main fountain. It may very well be the last person you expect to see at a mall. Can we say Iggy Pop?
Hot tip – Dressed down, the famous often slide under the radar more easily than you think. Bring a pop culture enthusiast friend to spot the B and C list celebrities you may not recognize on your own.
