Hello everyone! Sorry for my absence, but I've been busy with Christmas! I will update soon, but until then, Mark had a celebrity sighting in Palm Springs!

It's Ed Asner! Mr. Grant himself...

PS - He's wearing Pumas.

Mark had a very exciting sighting tonight at Jackie Beat's Drag Nog! (A drag queen's holiday show.) Here it is!

Oh, no wait—

Yes, that's better.

It's Perez Hilton!

So I went to a screening of Australia today, which was supposed to have a Q & A afterward with Baz Luhrmann. After the film finished, the moderator came out and said, "You guys don't mind if two more people join us for the Q & A, do you? They're just a couple of actors..."

Of course everyone started buzzing, thinking it was going to be Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman... and guess what... it was!

Okay... HE. IS. GORGEOUS. PERFECT. AMAZING. AND SHE. IS. STUNNING.

So, more on the whole thing tomorrow—my sister came with me, it was so much fun, and I loved the movie—I now present you with my bad celebrity pictures of the evening which, btw, blow Mark's out of the water.

Here's Baz Luhrmann, jabbering away on the mic:

And here's Hugh Jackman:

See him? He's standing up, right here:

Okay, I'll lighten it a little:

There you go!

And here are Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman sitting down:

They're the two on the end:

I really, really loved the movie. It's getting panned a little bit, but I laughed, I cried, I squealed with delight—what more could you want in a movie? See it! In the theater!

UPDATE: Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman snuck out for a screening of their new movie “Australia” in midtown New York City on Sunday night... (My pictures are so much better.)

From Mark! It's Patrick Stewart! Eating dinner at Osteria Mozza!

UPDATE: I posted it sideways. (C'mon, easy mistake.) Here it is right-side up. I also lightened it.

Definitely Patrick Stewart.

I should've posted this for my bad celebrity picture of Elmo and Minnie. It was the first one I took, but then I thought, "I can do better," and ran around in the front of them, forgetting for a moment that the series is called "BAD Celebrity Pictures."
