Celeb Sightings: When Did You Spot a Star?

As I sat at my table sipping a refreshing cocktail at Paparazzi Restaurant on Newbury Street, Boston's premier celebrity hotspot, I couldn't help but think about all the times I've spotted famous faces in unexpected places. From presidents to A-listers, it seems like anyone can run into someone famous anywhere.

I recalled a story my friend told me about meeting President Obama at a fundraiser and having her chunky baby boy by her side. And then there was the time she thought she saw Jamie Oliver, only to realize it was just a life-sized cardboard cutout! My own encounters with celebrities have been just as amusing. I once waved to what I thought was my friend Jamie Oliver in a cooking store, only to find out it was actually Ted Danson!

But Paparazzi Restaurant has seen its fair share of celebrity sightings too. From the Obamas driving by to Renee Zellweger looking flustered in airport security, this spot seems to attract the rich and famous. And let's not forget about the time a reader spotted Laura Dern in line at the grocery store or Annie's daughter saw Natalie Portman on a date at a tiny sushi spot.

And if you're looking for a place to rub shoulders with the stars, Paparazzi Restaurant is the perfect spot.
