I had quite a few this week. Local celebrities of course.
First, Rick Campanelli, aka “Rick the Temp” just moved into my building, and often shops at my night job. Had a conversation with him while he was in the elevator with his son. He’s really nice, and better looking in person.
Next: Andrea Bargnani. Y’all may not know who that is – hell, I didn’t either – until several of my co-workers pointed him out to me, as he also shops at the night job. Apparently he’s the power forward & center for the Raptors. All I know is bitch is the hotness. And he totally checked me out upon one of his frequent visits. He’s pretty shy but hard to miss, as he’s a little over seven feet. Will let you take a picture with him if you ask nicely.
Next: Mark Dailey, “the voice” behind City TV & anchor for City News, if you watch that channel. Sat behind him in a very nice Queen Street Indian-Thai fusion bistro, where he was having beer with a friend. Also hard to miss because, well, the voice is unmistakable, and he is also freakishly tall.
Over the past year or so since I’ve moved to Toronto, I’ve also seen Jay Manuel from America’s/Canada’s Next Top Model, other CityTV alums Liza Frommer and Pam Seatle, and annoying StarTV correspondent Sean Gehon. Apparently some Maple Leafs goalie and one of the band members from Sum 41 also shops at the night job, as does Gehon, whom I just encountered last night. He always talks really loudly on his cell phone and is just loud in general. Methinks he wants people to recognize him and make a big fuss over him, so I deliberately pretend not to know who he is.
Exciting stuff, I know. I’m trying to remain calm, too.

is rick the temp as little as he seems? i always assume that he’s no higher than my massive breasts.
look at you, turning into our very own personal Perez. speaking of which, can someone please explain Perez’s popularity in blog form?
that is all.

Actually Rick the Temp is of pretty average height. Which is weird because people on TV tend to look taller than they are in person. I’d say he’s about my height, maybe a smidge taller.
Perez eh? Don’t think I’ll be putting MS Paint cum-stains on the pictures I post anytime soon. Or kissing Paris Hilton’s ass. Maybe KICKING it, ‘cept I don’t want herpes-taint on my shoes.
I guess Perez is popular because people like reading unnecessarily cruel and catty commentary. Or because he appeals to people who have a scathing hatred for celebrities, because they just want to be one of them…or who were made fun of when they were kids, so they now make fun of people they don’t even know? Who knows.

I see. I hate celebrity gossip shows. I generally hate that people are obsessively obsessed with celebrities (unless your name rhymes with Mangelina or you’re a former slayer of the undead, in which case i love thee and will do all of your bidding, if you’re reading this), but i think i hate Perez even more.
Maybe I hate that he’s as ridiculously (in)famous as he is and I just can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe I hate his crappy writing and toilet humour. Maybe. Maybe I hate that I’m secretly obsessed and intrigued by the lives of celebrities … but I doubt it.
Now, where’d I put my haterade?

“Now, where’d I put my haterade?”
Right next to the big glass of mine!

Perhaps it’s just that stock-ish photo of Andrea Baloney (or whatever), but I’d have to argue that bitch is not in fact ‘the hotness.’ He’s more like ‘the Eastern European Swiss Chalet delivery man.’ Sorry.
Now, Rick the Temp on the other hand – “temp” isn’t the only position I’d have him in.
Rawr.
