Asha and I had a celebrity two-fer as we drove from Beverly Hills to Scoops in Wilshire Center. After leaving an art opening we were heading East on Melrose and caught an extremely surreal scene. There were about 15 paparazzi outside a small book store taking photos of someone through a small circular window. We couldn't get a good look at who it was, but she was definitely blonde so that narrowed it down. I also saw a man with a long, gray flowing beard wearing an orange robe. It turns out it was Paris Hilton and the guru she was with was an actor planted by Ashton Kutcher to exploit the gullibility of the media or something stupid. It was for his new show which sounds completely different and groundbreaking.
Later at scoops as I was shoveling hazelnut mocha and thai iced tea coconut ice cream into my mouth hole, I thought I heard a familiar voice. I looked up and saw a jolly bearded man ordering ice cream with his family. He looked and sounded so familiar but I couldn't put my finger on who he was. A minute later I realized it was none other than Don Coscarelli , renowned director of Phantasm 1, Phantasm 2, Phantasm 3, Phantasm 4, etc. as well as Beastmaster 1 and Bubba Ho-tep. IN all seriousness I thought Phantasm was a totally disjointed, incoherent masterpiece, so I have to admit, upon recognition I was a little excited to see him. I really wanted to stand on the table and just yell "PHANTASM!" then run, but didn't because I am a sad, cowardly little man.
