Oh please, seeing a celeb from far away isn't that interesting. I mean sure i was hoping that he'd be like "wait david I need to run over and talk to that cute gal with the pony tail who is by the Fox store" but alas that is not the case..... oh well.
It's not like i'd ever go up and say hello to him while he was talking to the head of his show... i dont even like to interupt my mom while she's on the phone so.. i'm a scardy cat

That is so gorgeous that it's obscene!!! If you haven't seen it, here is the pic.
And Donkey, what exactly do you do that allows you to get so close to Hugh Laurie? If it were any of us, security would probably have us arrested and slapped with a restraining order.

This is very true :P
I know some of his wife's family here in Israel. If they ever come to a wedding here..... *can't even finish this thought* :shock:

That's awesome, DK. I'm lucky enough to have a good friend who's a film producer, and have been invited to visit one of her sets. Let's just say, having a talk with Val Kilmer over dinner is a unique experience. O_o
I do nothing even remotely interesting I assure you. I work in the enteraintment industry and as a result have crazy friends who work on various lots.
I had lunch with my friend today and thats what found me on the FOX lot... blah blah blah snore........

It's always good to get real live updates on Hugh. In Australia we call motorbike riders 'temporary Australians' so I do worry about the future of House. I have visions of the FOX people following him around with mattresses and cutting down telephone poles so he doesn't wrap himself around them.
And good to know he was in fact wearing clothes - stop that...
I know some of you are thinking it.
But thanks so much DK for that sighting.
HUGH LIVES!

We call them organ donors
Not to bash Hugh, but I find it sort of funny that he is wearing the essential rider safety gear of helmet, leather jacket and heavy boots but his daughteris in slippers and a spaghetti strap shirt. That's just one of my pet peeves, riders and passengers who don't wear proper clothes.

What I wouldn't give to be on the back of that Triumph. ::sigh::
<b>Donkey</b> you are one lucky gal! I probably would have spontaneously combusted on the spot! (Ok probably not as when I've met other famous people I've actually been quite normal)
<b>Jouse</b>, you have the DRESS, remember? ;)

Wonder what happened to the red Scrambler?
Did he actually own that? Or was it just for a photo shoot? (I'm thinking it was a borrowed bike for a photo shoot. I only recall hearing of him owning the Triumph.)

HUGH LIVES!
:lol:
Is it sad that I'd be almost as excited about seeing his Triumph as him? We do not get such secks-tastic machinery where I'm at; it's either Harley's or ridiculously shiny, barely-used Italian models.
Ridiculous fantasy #6894A:
Manage to be sauntering through the Fox lot (I so often end up crossing a continent on my way to lunch) just as Hugh and whomever are finishing up their conversation. Pause to admire bike. Hugh asks if I like bike. Me: Affirmative. Chat bikes for awhile.*
blah blah
Hugh asks if I've ever ridden a Triumph.
Me: No.
Hugh: *devilish grin* Care for a spin around the lot?
Me: *deafening internal squee-ing* Sure. *catches tossed helmet*
(SFX: sound of motorcycle revving)
Ridiculous fantasy #6894B:
Thank Hugh for the ride, get off bike. Manage to ask Hugh if he he's the same HL who wrote The Gun Seller without sounding a) really thick or b) stalkery. Long, meandering conversation about Wodehouse, arms dealing, and politics ensues . . . (Hugh shall be sitting, leaning against his bike all GQ model-esque during said conversation)
Ridiculous fantasy #6894C:
Conversation leads to the topic of music. For some reason, Greg Grunberg is on the FOX lot instead of doing Heroes-related things over at NBC, comes over, introduces self and joins in conversation before saying, "You know, Hugh and I play together and our band's going to be playing over at (some little chill place) tonight. *writes down time, address on slip of paper* You're welcome to come."
Hugh: As long as you don't mind sitting up front.
Greg: Oh, and Bob's out of town so Hugh's going to be singing all on his lonesome. All night long. We're going to try some Costello covers tonight and maybe some Ron Sexsmith.
Hugh: And we take requests too, of course. Oh, and as a warning, it sometimes relaxes me to make smoldering eye-contact with someone in the audience when I sing. You wouldn't mind . . .
Me: No.
Hugh: Great. You can sit with my friend Lisa. I work with her, she's great. Broke up with her boyfriend**, pity that. But it's been a while now, she's excited to be going out again. I'm sure she'll enjoy the company. Hey, you two should go out for a drink after.
Greg: Ask her about the plot coming up with this guy and Bob on the show they work on together. Pretty steamy stuff!
You get the idea. 8)
*in this fantasy I have something remotely interesting to say about bikes.
**no actual boyfriends of Ms. Edelstein were harmed in the making of this fantasy.

Namaste, they're both Triumphs. He bought the black Triumph Bonneville when he moved to LA for House. He's said it's his dream bike. It's the one he's apparently riding on in the pictures with his daughter.
In the pictures that were taken when he, Jo and Stephen were out shopping, he was riding a red Triumph Scrambler.
Either he bought the Scrambler and kept the Bonneville or the Scrambler was a loaner while the other one was in for repairs or ...
