Celebrity sightings

I'm not one to get star struck, but here are some recent celebrity sightings at my work:


  • Yesterday Jim Breuer ate at our Chinese restaurant's bar. He has a show tonight at our lounge at 8pm.
  • Tuesday, July 8th, Jenna Jameson and Tito Ortiz ate at our sushi bar (seats 14 & 15). From what I saw, they had our Skinny Dip & Cowboy roll and drank a bottle of Melody of Water sake. What was ridiculous was when they were eating, some of the servers & hostesses from the steak house came to gawk at them. It was a little bit annoying 'cause they were standing in our little hallway, in my way of working. Good thing it was slow.

Here are past celebrity sightings:

  • One evening I served Penn Jillette (from Penn & Teller) and his wife. They were our last guests at our sushi bar (seats 8 & 9). Didn't know it was him till Tom told me and when I ran his credit card I saw his name. He looks really different in person. He drank a huge bottle of Panna water by himself. Well he is a big guy.
  • I served Dick Clark one evening (table J1). He was accompanied by his wife. At first I didn't think it was him 'cause he looked so old and was in a wheel chair. He is so cute. He ate tempura appetizer and drank it with a tall glass of cold milk.
  • I also served Anna Kournikova. She sat in one of our booths (table d). She was accompanied by a lady friend. I wished it was Enrique though. He is pretty sexy, minus the mole. But all she had were steamed vegetables. We had to remake her two vegetable dishes because they had traces of oil on them. She wanted them steamed only. She barely ate though. Plus when I presented the check, she excused herself to go to the restroom. Her friend paid and when Anna came back she looked like she threw up her food. I know the look. I've had two cousins who were bulimic. She wasn't sad, so what was with the teary red eyes. Yeah... I know what happened in the bathroom. Hah!
  • One night Scott Baio sat at our sushi bar (seat 8). He was accompanied by his assistant. Before he left he came up to me at the hostess podium. We had a little coversation. He asked me what my nationality was. He didn't believe I was full filipino. No one ever thinks I am anyways. They always think I'm half american or half japanese. Anyways... In the middle of that conversation he asked me out! Chachi asking me out... WTF!?! Hahah! But he is the little flirt. He's all about the ladies. Well anyways, I told him, "Sorry I have a boyfriend." It was too funny. I totally had a crush on him when I was younger.
