THE CRAP ABOUT WHICH IT IS FIT TO RAP by Adrian Ryan
In celebrity news: Eric Idle of Monty Python fame was spotted
breakfasting at the Paramount Hotel's Dragonfish Cafe early last week,
apparently satisfying an early-morning yen for Pan Asian cuisine. However,
the visiting Brit had to settle for "American breakfast crap." (Before
11 am, Dragonfish -- rather incongruously -- serves mostly eggs, hash
browns, toast, and OJ.) Mr. Idle was in town to meet with the press
to promote Eric Idle Exploits Monty Python, running May 15-16
at the Paramount Theatre. He was described by his waitron as "very nice."
Lovely day for it: Shaken, Not Stirred radio show co-hosts
Johnny Seattle and Scotty Crane darted through Pike Place
market bare-assed nekkid last Friday, arousing awareness of Earth Day
and stultified tourists. Johnny and Scotty's au natural
-- and surprisingly provocative -- romp was captured on video and is
available for your voyeuristic pleasure at http://www.shaken.net
Oh captain, my captain! Ethan Hawke will be gracing Seattle
with his rumpled, unshaven presence on May 5. The snaggle-toothed cutie
is coming to town to promote his new, updated Noo Yawk version of Hamlet,
in which he plays the moody title character (God deliver us from bad
Shakespeare adaptations). According to an industry insider, Ethan will
be taping at KUOW during his visit. Fans, groupies, and stalkers are
encouraged to spy on Mr. Hawke and report back to me.
Macaulay Culkin sightings keep rolling in! The feral former
child star has been spotted all over downtown, happily hanging on wife/actress
Rachel Miner, who has a role in God of Vengeance, now
playing at ACT. Poor lovesick Mac is rumored to be at the theater every
night, cheering on his bride, and trying to hide behind his hair. And
they said it wouldn't last.
Take ME out to the ball game! Mariners superhunk Alex Rodriguez
was seen window shopping outside of the Pacific Place Pottery Barn last
week. A-Rod was looking very tan and dreamy in rust-colored pants, white
dress shirt, and smart navy sweater-vest. An unidentified short "blond"
woman accompanied him. Damn it.
