Horshack lived on my block when I lived in Hell's Kitchen! I used to walk by him and think "Hey! It's Horshack!" Also the dad from "License to Drive" (with the two Coreys - awesome!) lived in my 'hood. I would also see Tony Danza from time to time in my corner grocery store. It was when he was in "The Iceman Cometh" or maybe when he had his own talk show (did he have a talk show? Was he even in "Iceman"?)
I own Richard Simmons' "Sweatin'to the Oldies" and I exercise to it. There, I said it. It's the 20th anniversary edition and I can remember working out to it with my mom twenty freakin' years ago. I like to do it because it's fun and also because Ella does it with me. If you think it's easy, rent a copy and try it. I promise you, it's a real workout. At the end of the workout, they introduce all the dancers and they're actual people who have lost weight sweatin' to the oldies. I watch it every damn time because it's fascinating – one guy? He lost 205 pounds! That's the equivalent of losing me, Ella and two biggish puppies! Richard Simmons is like freeze-dried; he has not changed in twenty years. How do I know all this? Because my friend Scott just met him.
And, to wrap up recent celeb thoughts, my friend Jon went on a walk in the L.A. canyons with his daughter, dog and some friends. They got to a house with a pool and his dog decided to jump in (and really, who wouldn't want to jump in?). But, poor pup couldn't find the stairs to get out so the owner of the house, who was picnicking outside, walked over and yanked him out of the pool. That owner? You know him as Batman, but I've loved him way back when he was in "American Psycho". Christian Bale! Needless to say, Christian wasn't thrilled (I'm sure he was thinking "I don't work out 16 hours a day to play Batman and the Terminator –coming soon! – just to pull Labs out of my pool.") But hey, Jon is now selling vials of Bale's pool water on eBay and making a killing (not really). You can read the much more eloquently written story here.
