I used to be awkwardly treading water, attempting to overhear their dialog. She was cool and requested what he was doing that night time, and he stated he was throwing the primary pitch on the Mets sport.” This is what he regarded like that very night time!
I as soon as noticed Renee Zellweger trying flustered in airport safety; I ordered ice cream (and nearly blacked out) subsequent to Tina Fey in a seaside city years in the past; I sat close to Natalie Portman and Gael García Bernal on a date at a teeny sushi spot within the East Village; and in Paris final February I stood behind Laura Dern in line on the grocery retailer. I’m positive there have been others, however I can by no means keep in mind them!
Listed here are some humorous reader tales:
