Two years here and I have yet to see anyone really famous (except Paul Rodriguez in an elevator, and he’s about C-list) then today I’m in Petco buying some stuff for C.K., and who’s in front of me but Mr. Academy Award winner – Cuba Gooding, Jr.. He was waiting on his credit card to clear and turned around, I nodded and he smiled back knowingly. I wanted to yell “show me the money!” but I’m sure the poor guy has heard it a billion times. Plus who wants to be “Cuba Gooding, movie star” when he’s just out buying dog food? I must say he had a sweet Escalade parked outside though.
