•Yesterday [5/4] as I am walking north on Thomas Jefferson toward M, I nearly collide withOwen Wilsonjogging on the C&O tow path. Blue t-shirt, blue shorts, floppy blonde hair and that nose. In tow was a cute bulldog-like dog who seemed intent on peeing every 50 feet or so. Owen appeared to be in a very good mood.
•Georgetown [5/5/04]Owen Wilsonwalking up M. Street swinging an empty plastic water bottle looking for good places to eat dinner.
• vince vaughnandowen wilson, shooting a film called "The Wedding Crasher" - right now [5/4], on 23rd street between Q and P. apparently the story line is that one of them will fall in love with the secretary of the treasury's daughter and stop their wedding crashing/playboy ways. sounds fresh.
•Wednesday, May 5, sometime in the early afternoon: Suspiciously tanned Brit, formerNewt Gingrichmajor domo, and current Wash Times/i op-ed page mullahTony "McLaughlin Group" Blankleychatting animatedly with increasingly short, fat, and irrelevant political observerE.J. Dionneand a third, distinguished-looking gentleman (Strobe Talbott?) outside Brookings Institution, doubtless planning the ouster ofGeorge Hufffrom American Idol. Or U.S. ratification of the a law of the sea.
• Owen Wilsonhas been spotted in Georgetown at 29th and Olive, and 31st and "P". He's been filming his new movie "The Wedding Crasher" with Vince Vaughn here in the District the past two days [ You don't say. - Ed.]. Shooting continues today. The trucks are parked all over the street and cones are blocking other remaining spaces in front of the houses being filmed.
•Saw Washington Post sports columnistMichael Wilbonlast night (5/5) having a drink at Zaytinya's bar (wearing the same black shirt and gray coat he wore that day on PTI). Spent his time talking to a young (late 20's) woman. After about 20 minutes he left. Five minutes later she was talking to another middle aged, bald (although Wilbon claims he is "shaven") black gentleman. In short, if you are a bald middle age black man looking for some attention, apparently the bar at Zaytinya is the place to be.
