I ran into "The Weas-el"- Pauly Shore this morning at Watercolor Starbucks...
Has anyone else seen any famous faces in our neck of the woods?

I run into my "biggest" fan in the world, Karl Rove at Rosemary....unfortunately, constantly.
I would like to ticket his Fox News satelite truck.

My husband said he is the host of a Reality show on CMT. They are filming here at Seaside. Dream Vacation Giveaway?
We were at Bud and Alley's Saturday night and said, OMG that looks like Pauly Shore.

That is right. They are filming a reality show here. I met a lady that is going to be on the show. I think that she is going to be the nanny for the children on the show.

What time, seemed to be a lot of people, but no one going goo goo over a celeb.
Follow up to my own post on my Pauly sighting this morning-
My wife was driving home this afternoon and saw Pauly once again at Watercolor Starbuck's. He was sitting out front talking to a handful of folks who surrounded him...

Yep--it WAS Pauly Shore. Our son, from Taillight TV in Nashville, is the producer of the show. They were here for about 5 days early in March filming the show. Look for it to air on CMT sometime in April, I think.

Emiral LaGassi (sp?) was seen and talked to today at a competitive liquor store (boo) over near the Destin Commons. He's here for a few days and my salesrep said he was quite pleasant.

It's kind of cool just to the point of knowing who likes making this area home or at least a vacation spot, along with the rest of us super-interesting people. Past that, they are all human and I'd never approach anyone (in)famous, notorious or otherwise noteworthy. My kids went more nutz over seeing Miss Kitty:wub: than Emeril.
I'd rather be sitting on the beach, watching the world around us, or actually being able to focus on a book for more than 10 minutes at a time.

OK. I understand that there is a difference between Jessica Simpson and Johnny Depp. What I don't understand is how we need a Johnny Depp, but not a Jessica Simpson. We need valuable people like Dr Skunky, but we don't "need" a celebrity.

If Skunky had Johnny Depp's celebrity factor, it would be a win win scenario for everybody!

Let me set you straight. Dr. Skunky is way more valuable to the citizens of Walton County than some unwashed, unshaven celebrity type ever will be. And that my friends, is your lesson of the day from Miss Kitty's Korner. :wave:

08-14-2008, 02:00 PM
Surely there is enough love :wub: in the SoWal area to appreciate both Dr. Skunky and JD for very different contributions.
I mean if all the women in the area begin to swoon, Dr. S. will definitely be needed. :clap:

I deleted my comment because you know I was just trying to lighten up the thread, there truly is no reason to compare Johnny Depp and Dr. Skunky because there is no comparsion.
It was a joke, nothing more.

I love Johnny Depp and his acting. I may put on one of his movies today. Why wouldn't the rich and famous come to the most beautiful and unique beach in the world. Hope they all buy some of your houses that are for sale, rent often, have huge parties at our restaurants, hear our cool music, and buy tons of our fab art. Also, hope they go to beach and just sit and relax.

Steve Windwood formerly of Traffic and The Spencer Davis Group and has had two homes along 30-A. Now they only have one. I've met him, his wife and their friends on several occasions.
Their are some famous proffesional ball players in Watersound too.

I am so sorry SJ dragged you into this. :biggrin: I am also still trying to figure out what contributions JD has made to sowal. :idontno:
Forgive me for my snarkiness. I get the reports on the spottings, I just never got all gaga over movie stars. I know, that's weird...I do however, get gaga over really smart, good men with less than a six pack. (Mr. Kitty) ;-)
Wow.
I could really give a rat's a$$ if JD ever visits SoWal, but if he does, I hope it's when I'm there. I hope he strolls down the beach, sets up his umbrella right by me and offers me a cold one from his cooler. As long as I'm downwind, I really don't care if he's bathed or shaven. Sorry Kitty, that's my dirty little secret for today. :floor:
Skunky, you've always been a celeb in my book. :wave:

What is with the unshaven comments? I personallylike facial hair on men. One of SoWal's finest has quite a bit of facial hair and I don't think he stanks..:wave:
Miss Kitty, who could not love a man with "those shoes" :wub:
Earlier in the summer (can't remember exactly when), I saw Jason Castro at the Red Bar.....I guess you could call him a celebrity!
For those non-American Idol watchers, he was the guy with the dread-locks who finished in third place on AI.
He was very friendly, speaking to anyone who approached him.

For all of you girls looking for eye candy, perhaps you should show up at one of the local paddle board races, where most of the guys look like they were imported from GQ magazine, with 4% body fat. I would have taken some pics for you guys, but my camera battery died after taking pics of the girl racers, which was prior to the guys.

He was at the Chamber Celebrity event last night and was beautiful, soft spoken and kind and wroberts had the heads up 8 hours before and even corrected the time and location to be spot on. We sat at the table next to him, hugged him, held hands, watched him from about every angle for 3 hours and if he was an impersonator, Johnny Depp has problems.
The first thing that came to mind when we saw him was that the costume was not something you get at your local party store, right down to the gold teeth. The chamber and Hilton representatives have confirmed it and he was giving out autographs behind stage before the event started. Wroberts source seems to be pretty credible from what we saw. :wub:
