Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo at TACO BAR and Bud & Alley's tarpon club

What I find interesting is that we have a couple of new posters from Cali.

Got a thing for bugs huh?

What were they doing? Let's give a little info to the weeklies and get you some press! Doesn't have to be dirt, even just a sighting

This has somebody's publicist fingerprints all over it. :roll:

Recognizing a celebrity who is a ditz, doesn't define one as being superficial. Going to Bud & Alley's just to hang out with the celebritney's does, IMO.

I also find it interesting that everyone always wants celebrities hanging out in their drinking holes or small home towns, but publicizing their present whereabouts is one sure way to run them off.

Too bad that Perez only mentioned Seaside. Send him an email Dave!

Correction, no NFL players, Head coach of the Saints, Sean Payton, some guy from the rock group, Better than Ezera, Mickey Loomis Gen manager of the Saints.

Coach Payton will be one of my guests on this Sunday's Matthew Christ Live from 11-noon on 30A Radio...check back on sowal later in the week for the usual "guest announcement" thread.

I wish I had it in me to let stuff go...

SJ, maybe that *would* make one superficial- I dunno. But even if it did-
I don't recall reading one post in either Jessica thread that said anyone went there "just to hang out" with them. Correct me if I am wrong if you have the energy...

Even though I am arguably the main contributor to keeping it going, I gotta say I am perplexed by all the hatin' from so many of our own local "celebs" like yourself...

We post that we saw a famous person at a local spot. Fun stuff.

Oh, but she didn't contribute enough to society so I guess it isn't fun. And she is a ditz so I guess it isn't fun. And if that's the type of famous person who comes here 30A is doomed so I guess it isn't fun. And now the "superficial police" are writing tickets to innocent bystanders...

Correct me if I am wrong if you have the energy...

Does a bear poo in the woods?

I know people who went to B&A's that night just to try and hang out with the girl.

As for my personal choice of company, I'd rather spend time with good friends, or new acquaintances.

Again, if you want to keep celebrittney-s around here, it is best not to run them off by drooling over them and letting everyone know they are here. Celebrity or non-celebrity, we are all just people, some dumb, some smart, and many in between. I like to think that I am somewhere in the middle.

I can see why a golfer would drool over hanging out with Tiger Woods, a budding actor drooling over hanging out with ... ??? Tom Cruise, a musician hanging out with Michael Stipe, a politician or politically interested person hanging out with Barack Obama, a young football player hanging out with OJ (oops!), I mean Peyton Manning, or a teenage pop-fan hanging out with Jessica Simpson. Last time I went to B&A's, I don't recall seeing many 13 year old girls.

SJ, I'm a bit confused. Are you surprised at the opening poster for calling attention to Jessica Simpson being at his establishment? That's where I see this all began. But I don't see it as being a big deal really.

As I read this thread my employees called me and said E Entertainment just called the store I manage to see if she came in to buy stuff.

Lol, I always wondered if store owners called the mags to tell them this stuff in return for a little publicity. Now I know the mags are just so desperate for the dish that they'll go through the listings and call the stores! Amazing.

SJ,
You are normally so coherent but again you have perplexed me...

Even though it might seem like it because we're getting old(er)-


She isn't some teeny bopper Hannah Montana. She is 28 years old- a gorgeous Hollywood starlet in our area. I posted saying it was neat to see her out. What is the bf deal?

Apologies to all for the trainwreck...

I think SJ is cranky today. That's cool. Been there and done that many, many times on the board. Everyone has their days.

I'm not cranky, today. I'm just tired of people put such great emphasis on celebrities just because they are celebrities. What makes celebrities so special, and seemingly better than others? There are plenty of good people who are celebrities. Being a celebrity doesn't make one bad. Many also want to do normal things, but they cannot, because they are hounded by "fans." A true fan would give the celebrity some breathing room.

Can you, without looking it up, one song which she sings? She was a hottie the last I time I saw her on tv, but it seemed as though all of her fans were teenie boppers. What is the bf deal? You tell me? I don't see it. I was simply commenting that several peeps I know went there to try to see her and hang out with her. What's the bf deal is really my question.

SJ, I've signed the release forms and am forwarding them to you, so feel free to go ahead and publish any photos you have of me and my entourage on vacation in Sowal. I'm also pretty sure I saw the paparazzi hiding behind a plant at Borago that night. And I think we all got our pics snapped that other night at Amavida. Stay tuned. The new People should be on stands soon.

Can you, without looking it up, one song which she sings?

In the spirit of full disclosure I am afraid to say that I know of two-
There is one that is actually good, IMHO- believe it is called, "With You". And she did a decent remake of the Top Gun hit, "Take My Breath Away". But whether I knew this or not is irrelevent...

She was a hottie the last I time I saw her on tv, but it seemed as though all of her fans were teenie boppers.

I said twice now somewhere in these two threads that I do not consider myself a fan but SIMPLY that I still think it is neat that she is here...

I also said I am no fan of Karl Rove (I'm actually ashamed of where we are as a nation as a result of the current administration but I digress) but that I still think it is cool that people like him of notoriety dwell here. I posted the day I saw Pauly Shore at Starbuck's in Watercolor. No one bashed that thread, though.

What is the bf deal? You tell me? I don't see it. I was simply commenting that several peeps I know went there to try to see her and hang out with her. What's the bf deal is really my question.

That's not at all how your posts read to me, SJ. You were a hatin' on the famous hotty in question, hatin' on those of us who thought it was neat to see her out and hatin' on those of us who wanted to share the experience...

You seem to like the Britney references...

SJ, you who kiddin? "You're not that innocent..."

C'mon- give me points for that closing...

I couldn't agree with you more SJ. Let them be and ignore them and maybe they will come back if thats what you want.

I fairly sure even the paparazzi don't care what Pauly Shore is doing. :funn:

Well, I'm probably going to be the thread killer in this one but it's a sad day when a person can't post a little bit of "human interest" without it going completely out of control. As it's been said before by many a sowaller, "lighten up."


Again, does this make anybody wonder why anyone would want to start a thread for fear of being ridiculed and belittled?

This has somebody's publicist fingerprints all over it. :roll:

I wouldn't give Perez any items. Trust me here. I've done nothing.

Well a pic finally has surfaced of them at the Taco bar & it comes from someone in Plano Texas to be exact. I don't think you can blame publisist on this one or most of the ones in Florida. They actually I believe tried to hit your small town to get away from a lot of it. Then of course we have the actual haters from Cali & Dallas that believe its there job to stir up crap on these two. Many of you have no idea. I only hope they can get through a football season without either one getting hurt. I knwo it sounds harsh & rediculous but there is a lot of stuff out there that makes you wonder what people are really thinking. Some still don't want her at games & have so much as threatened but Jessica is fighting back & saying she will be at his games in Dallas & has scheduled her commitments around Tony & his games so she can be home when he is. Many are not happy about that so you see why maybe a few gurads are needed. We all know we got whackos out there in the real world sadly to say.

John don't take it personal. It is tough out there but hang in there are many that are interested but are afraid to be vocal. Bullies are bullies just carry on & ignore the bashers.

Cannot believe that I missed Jessica sing with Dread Clampitt at the Red Bar. Kyle tried to get Sheryl Crow to sing yesterday afternoon, but apparently, she was ignoring him as she ate.

No, she said she was watching the tennis match.
Now she really could be Sheryl's impersonator.

Excellent point & I would bet many establishments themselves call paps for there place to be photographed with the celebs comeing out. It buisness for them. If they go for a meal someone will call & say see who eats here etc. Forget the publicist that gets blamed for it you kwno the paps got deals with establisments. Ever notice same paps at same stakeout. they all have there spots & territory & one better not hit the others terriory or something is going down that ain't pretty.
