Celebrity Check at Staples
A little thin on the ground here tonight.
We've got more sports celebs than Hollywood celebs.
O.J. Mayo of USC. Frank Robinson, Hall of Fame outfielder. Some other sports figure I've already forgotten. Shoot. Oh, yeah, it was Cobi Jones. The Original Cobi/Koby/Kobe, from what I can tell.
Also, Don Johnson, onetime star. (What has he done lately? Didn't think so.) Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Dyan Cannon, but she's always here. The Guy in the Weird Hat and Scary Beard Who Sits Next to Nicholson is here, but Jack isn't.
And our biggest star of the night ... Andy Garcia. An actual star. Wonder if he feels weird to be here all by himself. He's not even sitting courtside, either ... he's about 10 rows up, across from the Lakers bench. That actually is cooler, sitting in the stands. I mean, yeah, it's still a seat that costs, like, $300, but it says "I'm here to see the game" as opposed to "Look at me, I'm famous and I'm courtside."
But I let Nicholson slide on that one because he really IS there to see games ... and i think he just wants to be as close as possible to the action.
