Pop! Six! Squish! Uh-uh! Cicero! Lipschitz!

The PCS (Pop Culture Savant) is back from Chicago, and boy do I have some pop culture news for you! Even though I was surrounded by somewhat demanding engineering professors for the past five days, I still managed to have some wonderful experiences that further push me down the path of pop culture stardom...

Where are they Now? Magazine update

After my JF sighting in NYC, I figured I was done with the celebrity sightings for awhile. Luckily for me and you, that was incorrect. For those of you who do not know, I am a BIG - ok, who am I kidding HUGE - fan of the Grease movies. That's right, there were two of them, and I love them both. In fact, I think I love Grease 2 in a very unhealthy way. I know all the songs, even the bad one called "Charades" by heart. That being said and documented, I saw Lorna Luft, a daughter of Judy Garland, half-sister of Liza Minelli, and more importanly, Paulette of Grease 2 rehearsing some songs for the HRC event taking place directly across from the registration desk I was at for work. Apparently, the update on Lorna Luft is that she's carrying on her mom's legacy of singing for the gays. Now, if only I could find Adrian Zmed....


Five days of fun later, it was time to go home. Walk to subway, get on subway, ride on subway, wait in airport, board plane. As we are waiting to board, I turn around, and in line is someone that I know I've seen. I turned to a friend and said, "Is that a reporter? I know it's a TV person, but who is that?" The PCS rarely cannot place a famous face with a famous name. Then, another friend says, "THAT'S DR. DREW!!!!" That's right, Dr. Drew Pinsky (hmmmm, nice last name!) from Loveline was on our flight, which was fun enough. But it gets better. Wait for it, wait for it....Not only is Dr. Drew on our flight, he's slumming it with The People in business class. And, wait for it, wait for it, he ends up sitting right next to another friend of mine, directly behind yours truly! My friend starts talking to him and ends up chatting with him for the entire ride to Chicago. When he went to the bathroom, she filled me in on some of what he's up to now, and it turns out that he has been asked to be on a reality show similar to Dancing with the Stars but singing instead! He has not decided to do it, but I told him, "Oh, that sounds like a great opportunity, you should definitely do it." And, he better listen to me, I know what I'm talking about. Other Dr. Drew likes: The Office, taking trips with his kids, and chatting with the PCS.


Although I wanted to mention my blog, I didn't quite know how to say, "I am trying to write a blog about people who aren't really that famous anymore, can I interview you?" I really have to get a sales pitch down immediately for when I run into these people. If you have any ideas, let me know.
