Two Ends of the Celebrity-Sighting Spectrum

I had lunch today with my old boss, an entertainment attorney in Beverly Hills, at Pane e Vino on Beverly Blvd. Everyone always looks immaculate and somewhat artificial there, but I had yet to see anyone of note. Near the end of lunch it dawned on me that the guy at the next table looked familiar, he was sitting with the owner of the restaurant. I thought "that's a bad-ass looking guy," seriously.

Here are a few hints:

1) He likes to wear capes.
2) He's suave.
3) He's black.

Ding ding! Yessiree, it was none other than Billy Dee Williams! I immediately had to call Paul, because I knew he would appreciate this the most. Billy Dee looked well and very suave indeed. Still, all I could think about was Lando's girlish yelp as he's being sucked into the Sarlacc Pit (thanks, Beau).

Immediately afterward, I went to the Target on La Brea and, while checking out, saw Mila Kunis from "That '70s Show." Strangely, I had seen her at a club like 5 years ago! She gets around. Her voice is quite recognizable but she deserves to be on this site, sorry.

A good day to see two very different celebrities - albeit both has-beens. oh, snap!
