Reported: I saw Ben Affleck being cozy with Natalie Portman at the bar in the Ritz last night. I was there to pick up a friend from work. I did not say anything to them because I did not want to get my friend in trouble, but they looked like they were enjoying each other's company.

Reported: If you can call them celebs: Boston "boys" from the Real World, CT and David at Vinalia on Monday night. Wow. CT has cut the mop and was fiercely protecting himself from "paparazzi" who were flashing bulbs (but had no idea who he was). Watching these two guys looking around to see who was looking at them and making sure people recognized them kept my friends and I very busy. It was truly one of the funniest parts of the evening. I wanted to ask David how "Keeeee-vah" is doing (for those of you who watched the RW San Diego, you'll recall his lady friend.
