Celebs sighted: Any celeb who needs to eat
The story: The fact of the matter is most Hollywood actors work and live in and around LA and, believe it or not, they do regular things like going to the grocery store. So keep your eyes open because you never know when Brad Pitt will show up next to you in the frozen foods aisle. But whatever you do, make sure to play it cool. And by cool, I mean stay at least five feet behind him when you covertly follow him ar

Celeb sighted: Maria Bello (from Coyote Ugly and ER)
The story: Celebrities often bounce back and forth between the two hubs of American entertainment, New York and Los Angeles. Since my family lives just outside New York City, I am a fairly regular passenger on flights going that route. Now, it is not as though I have ever been seat-mates with a celeb (the only time I ever see first class is on my way to and from my coach seat), but airport

Celeb sighted: Magic Johnson
The story: My friends Lauren and Jesicah were hanging out at a wonderfully over-the-top restaurant at Century City Mall called Pink Taco.
“We were at Pink Taco and Magic Johnson was there with two other people," Lauren said. “Jesicah wanted to take a picture with him so she researched him on her phone while we ate. She found out his birthday was coming up and wished him a happy birthday because she wanted to come across as a

Sighted: Michael Jackson's home
The story: Thanks to Google and the street vendors who sell “Star Maps” you can do drive-bys of celebrity homes. Usually you won’t see anything more than a locked gate…not so exciting if you ask me. But, a few months ago my friend Patti flew in to visit me. Now Patti is a diehard Michael Jackson fan, so paying a visit to the house he was renting when he died was at the top of her to-do list. So we hopped in car and headed ove

Celebs sighted: Celebrity trainer, Jackie Warner & Paul Ben-Victor
The story: I personally haven’t seen any megawatt stars in this area yet, but I did see celebrity trainer and reality TV personality Jackie Warner at a Weho sushi joint. Sometimes though, encounters with lesser known stars can be even more fun.
A couple of friends and I were at Bar Lubitsch, a popular vodka bar and dance club in Weho, when we noticed the guy sitting next to us looked awfully famil

Celebs sighted: Janice Dickinson, Jerry Ferrara
The story: I’ve spied Janice Dickinson making some kind of ridiculous scene in a crosswalk near the famous Rodeo drive and Jerry Ferrara (Turtle on Entourage) dining with friends outside on Beverly Drive. According to my friend Lauren, a lifelong Beverly Hills resident, you can always spot Larry King or some other celeb at El Torrito Grill, a contemporary Mexican restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard.

Celeb sighted: Richard Simmons
The story: If you are in LA for a limited in time and want to make sure you get in a least one celeb sighting, you can pay R92 to take a class with the flashy fitness guru himself, Richard Simmons. Be prepared for a spectacle, he’s just as zany and high-energy in person as he is on TV. The night my friends and I took the class someone made the horrible mistake of using the word sequins to describe his glitzy ensemble.

Celebs sighted: Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher
The story: My friend Kimi and I were headed down the hill when I looked up and spotted Demi and Ashton coming up the hill. What I spotted next was the gaggle of teenage girls directly in front of us. They gave new meaning to the term rubbernecking as they openly gawked at Mr. and Mrs. Kutcher. As the girls edged closer to the power couple they seemed to take a collective sharp intake of breath, which dissolved

Celebs sighted: Lindsay Lohan, Victoria Beckham, Tom Hanks
The story: There is a reason this clothing boutique was mentioned in Hollywood-centric movies like Clueless and Legally Blonde. Synonymous with hip LA style, this is celebrity stalking heaven.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, has been spotted here at some point. So whether it’s Lindsay Lohan, Victoria Beckham, or Tom Hanks you are hoping to track down this is the place to go.

Celebs sighted: Jennifer Aniston, Simon Cowell, Katie Holmes, Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt
The story: The Ivy is known as THE spot for celebrity sightings, so this is the place to go to spy attention loving celebs who want their picture taken, not reclusive celebs who hide from the paparazzi at all costs. Although I’ve never actually gone in, I’ve walked by the Ivy countless times and don’t remember seeing anyone famous, so I can’t share any funny tales. But, I figu
