I agree. I'm a NY'er and I fly a few times a year and I love stars as much as the next gal, but somehow it never occurred to me to be 'on the lookout' when I'm at JFK or LGA. Come to think of it, I walk about 10 blocks a day (both ways) from the subway to my office, and it's a rather tony neighborhood where one would think there might be stars and celebs. Never saw a single one yet! Once though, years ago, I saw Yoko Ono in Tiffany's picking out a diamond bracelet.

These candid Stevie airport pics are no big suprise to me. Flying is awful most times, better to be in comfy clothes and not worry about hair and makeup and outfit. It's just going to get all messed up anyway after 6 hours of sitting in a seat- and worse if there are delays.

She is a notorious CU*T. We saw her at, I think, the Carlyle in NYC. We talked to her afterward and, to be nice about it, she was busy

The voice, though, was mind numbing in its clarity - she is indeed an icon.

I met La Lupone one time in NYC and she almost drank my mom's martini. My mother was like "that is mone and you were love AH LEEE in Evita DEAR - - if you NEED one, I'll buy you one, but this one is mine!" Battle of the dragons indeed

She wore the coat in Chicago also. Come to think of it, maybe that was her destination.

Stevie has on her did ya see me at ____LAX (fill in the blank) coat. It's the coat she always wears when she wants you to notice it's really her and that she was at location X on a certain date.

Flying commercial is a nice touch (if she really did so?) Dog prop is always a must see.

Hi to you too.

When I flew out to L.A in June to see Lindsey, I saw Robert Shapiro the attorney. I was tempted to ask if Delilah by Tom Jones was his favorite song, but alas I refrained.....

I used to be friends with her son. We've lost touch over the years but he was really nice. He introduced us once and she was really sweet. It was really surreal to have the opportunity to say to someone, "hey, I saw in the Weekly that your mom is performing at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday". LOL!

One time a bunch of us went to see Dame Edna. So he said to us, "I hope you guys don't mind but we have to go backstage afterwards. Mom wants me to say hi to Barry". You know, like it's some kind of bother. LOL! I was actually thrilled to meet Barry Humphres because other than being a huge Dame Edna fan, I used to do Rocky Horror and at Halloween we would perform the sequel, Shock Treatment, in which Barry played a very bizarre character called Burt Schnick, and I always played his part.

I'm pretty oblivious to my surroundings as well. And, to be honest, my near sightedness doesn't help matters either. It's my friend BJ who has celebu-dar and hawk-like vision. And he's really nonchalant about it; it's really annoying actually. He spotted tons of celebrities last time we were in LA... all in disguise, of course. Oh, and tons of gay porn stars too, but that's another matter...

In NYC, I have only spotted a handful of people on the street- Mike Myers, Jackie Mason, Lauren Hutton, Eric Nies (MTV's Real World)... not exactly A-list material.

Now, now... claws. retract. I'm sure when she gets up in Barbara Cooke drag, she probably takes on a different, diva-ish persona. In person she was just another fat old lady sitting in a wheelchair. But I have to admit, even though I wouldn't have noticed her on the street, I could tell just by her speaking voice that it was her. Clear as a bell. A force of nature, indeed.

Now, Miss Patti, on the other hand... she has a notorious reputation for being a diva... I've heard horror stories...

An Italian (Sicilian at that ) from Northpoint, Long Island - of course she is a diva

I have a few stories on La Lupone. In the end, she is hysterical!

I think she doesn't wear make up, so she won't be noticed.

When my boss and I were at LAX it was around 6:00 am.
We were on our way to Kennedy in New York, We saw Dennis
Rodman, well actually he saw him and almost fainted. My boss almost
clawed me to go and get a picture. So we stopped what we were
doing and got our camera's. I walked over to him(his assistant) was with
him and he took a picture of him and I and my boss looking over. He was
not nice and I didn't like him. But when we were boarding (we went coach)
I looked at him and mouthed thank you and he smiled and winked at
me...So he I thought that was nice. I would be annoyed too getting
my picture takened early in the morning....I wish I had my make up on
LOL......

haha...same thing happened to me when I lived in LA for a year when my dad was working there in the late 90s. I saw Michael McKean, Snoop Dogg, Glenn Close, and numerous other people in the airport. From what I recall, no one seemed to really care.

well, she is 59.. I think she looks fine. She is not Sophia Loren (cause she is reeeeally gorgeus and is 73), don't find her craaazy beautiful, but it's fine.
