Almost Starstruck

Paul Bales — Monday, October 9th, 2006

I’ve lived in Los Angeles for a long time.

You see celebrities all the time in this town and in my line of work I meet them every day. So it isn’t very often that a star sighting gets me excited.

On Saturday my girlfriend and I were driving through Beverly Hills when we came to a four-way stop. I arrived at the intersection a split second before a big black Mercedes, and after completing my California Stop, proceeded through the intersection. I saw the Mercedes moving forward slightly and was thinking that the driver looked familiar, when suddenly, Meagan screams:

"Don’t crash into Sidney Poitier!"

And sure enough, looking at me sternly through his windshield as I drove through, was Mr. Tibbs.

Now that was cool.

He probably didn’t think so.

    …you know who almost crashed into me on the way home on Friday?

    Jack Nicholson! He drives a black Corvette and looks kind of fat.
