The Jacksonville/Project Runway connection

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

Looks like another Jacksonville high school graduate is on a reality TV show.

Actor and designer for The House of Kilroy Jesse LeNoir is competing on season 7 of Project Runway, which airs on Lifetime. LeNoir, a native of Painsville, Ohio, graduated from The Bolles School.

Diana Eng, a graduate of Stanton College Preparatory School, appeared on Project Runway season two (i.e., the one with Santino).

Bistro Aix proves aix-citing place for celeb watching

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

I was at Bistro Aix with friends last night and spotted PGA player Jim Furyk and wife Tabitha sitting two tables away. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear a word they were saying over the din of the dining room. I wonder if they were talking about Tiger.

About an hour later in walk Wayne and Delores Weaver. Though there were tables available, the couple opted for two chairs at the kitchen— counter with their backs toward the dining room. Smart move, folks. I read lips.

Who's in the newsroom?!?

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

Either it was media night at the FSCJ Artist Series' production of A Chorus Line tonight or I accidentally stumbled into a meeting of the Jacksonville TV Anchor Association with Bruce Hamilton of WXJT Channel 4 and Ken Amaro and Shannon Ogden in the house.

Also in attendance, Dick "Watch Hound" Kerekes, who was obviously there for the Society of Cable Show Hosts Who Dress Like Dogs meeting.

Aisha's out. Deuce is in.

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

Sorry, Aisha Tyler fans. The stand-up comedian and actress won't be performing at the Comedy Zone February 18-20 as scheduled. If that news weren't bad enough, she's being replaced by Rob "Deuce Bigalow" Schneider.

In other Comedy Zone news, the following comedians have been added to the schedule: Mark "Hanging With Mr. Cooper" Curry, March 17-20; Aries "Reality Check" Spears, April 15-17; and Lavell "Why you breathe so hard? ... So I could live!" Crawford, April 22-24.

Sadly, Doug Benson is nowhere to be found...

MJD goes from Chili's to chilly

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing, Invasion of Privacy

An observant Eye-Team reporters saw Maurice Jones-Drew at the Jacksonville airport this morning texting while standing in front of Chili's. In case you're wondering what he was wearing (and you know you are), he was sporting a black pea coat and white tennis shoes (translation for yankees: sneakers). No word on where he was going, who he was texting or if had a Big Mouth Burger or Baby Back Ribs.

This just in...

According to a Twitter post this afternoon, MJD is in NYC with "Mr. Goodell" (translation for non-football fans:NFL commissioner Roger Goodell).

Two hours later he asked if anyone knew any good places to eat in Manhattan.

Ashley Greene is all growned up

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

Ashley Greene, you saucy little vixen.

First, the Jacksonville native, who has moved on to bigger and better things like starring in Twilight and New Moon, for instance, does a sexy photo shoot for the December issue of Maxim.

Then, she's shoots a campaign for SoBe wearing nothing but body paint.

And now she's in Interview magazine in a black leather, a sheer bra and gag.

Needless to say, her interview with Jacksonville Magazine back in September wasn't nearly as, um, titillating.

Want to star in a Stein Mart commercial?

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

Stein Mart is casting for its new commercials and wants you to be the star—assuming you can speak intelligibly and don't have three heads.

To apply without getting off your duff, send an e-mail to casting@fhbnet.com with your name, phone number and what you like most about shopping at Stein Mart (in 50 words or less). Also, attach a photo of yourself (less than 2MG).

Or you can show up at the open casting call on January 23, 10 AM-5PM, at the Stein Mart Harbour Village, 13475 Atlantic Blvd. Bring a completed casting form (available here). And be ready for your close-up since they'll be shooting a photo of you there.

Incidentally, if you do have three heads, I wouldn't be wasting my time doing a Stein Mart commercial.

Say 'Hy' to Robin Williams

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing, Invasion of Privacy

Just wanted to warn* my fellow Jacksonvillians that Robin Williams may be in our midsts.

A very reliable source told me that the "comedian" has been in Jacksonville about four times over the last two months and staying at the Hyatt Regency downtown. The source didn't know why he was here but did say that he's been staying in a regular room (i.e., not some fancy presidential suite) and is secretly brought in and out of the building by hotel staff.

Apparently, he goes by a "code name" while he's on property. Since I don't want to get anyone in trouble, I'm not going to reveal what it is other than to say that it's the name of a character he's played in a movie. And I'll give you a hint: It isn't Mrs. Doubtfire.

* I say "warn" in case there are any other folks out there who also suffer from doracoulrophobia (fear of furry clowns).

From Margaritaville to Jacksonville

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer (hardee-har-har) Band will perform at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on February 20. Tickets go on sale January 16 at 10 AM.

If anyone needs me on February 20, I'll be nowhere near the arena.

From 'Jersey Shore' to Jacksonville Beach?

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

Nicole (aka "Snooki") of Jersey Shore fame is rumored to making an appearance at Aqua Nightclub and Lounge tonight. I tried to verify the info, but the club's mailbox is full.

Orange you glad you Stargazing is looking out for you.

Thanks to Jason at Jacksonville Confidential for the heads up!

Up-and-coming R&B singer at Square One

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

R&B singer Kevin Cossom was spotted at Square One Monday night.

I figure someone in this town must know who he is and care where he was.

Danny Gokey to perform at Maverick's

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

American Idol's Danny Gokey is performing a free concert this Thursday, January 7, at Maverick's at the Jacksonville Landing.

By "free," they also must mean "free of any promotion or advertising" since I didn't hear a thing about it until three hours ago.

If I looked this good, I wouldn't diet either.

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing

America's Next Top Model winner (and Atlantic Beach native) Whitney Thompson graces the cover of the Plus Model Magazine's first issue of 2010.

I don't know about you, but I'm using this as an excuse to procrastinate on my New Year's diet resolution.
