Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Alec Baldwin in Love Edition! 11/8 — I saw him picking up sushi on Sat. night in the Valley with some really leggy, gorgeous, young looking blonde. They looked like they were on a date. He looked bigger but, happy... Damn I would be happy too, if I had that girl he was with on my arm... She didn't look famous but like a model, kinda familar. They were talking very intimately and looked like they liked each other a lot... [Guesses? Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.au.]

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/10 — My girlfriend and I were sitting diagonally from MATTHEW MODINE on the 9pm JetBlue flight from Burbank to JFK. He was sitting in the shitty seats in front of the exit row, which do not recline. The upgrade to the "Even more leg room" seats run $40, guess times are tough for Matthew or he decided to make the trip to NYC last minute. My girlfriend and I were sitting there for a good portion of the flight trying to remember what movie he was in, all I came up with was Vision Quest and that movie with Randy Quaid and Paul Reiser, which now I know is called Bye Bye Love thanks to IMDB.

He may require enlightening in matters of gay-community relations, but no one can accuse Mickey Rourke of anything less than slavish devotion to canine-rights causes. We hear the Oscar hopeful took his beloved free-range chihuahua Loki to the Four Seasons last week, where an eagle-eyed, bat-eared Defamer operative caught what may be the tenderest interspecies mating ritual ever witnessed in the Hollywood wild:

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/8 — Saw TOM HANKS, TOM FORD, RITA WILSON and unidentified older man eating dinner together at Giorgio Baldi. Seemed like an unlikely friendship.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: No on 8 Edition! 11/8 — I was at the "No on 8" rally/march/protest on Saturday night in Silver Lake when a friend pointed out GUS VAN SANT to me. I was skeptical at first, but the hoodie with something Portland related on it confirmed suspicions. He was with a younger (20s) blonde guy. Later at the same event, I saw one of the stars of Van Sant's Milk, JAMES FRANCO. He looked happy to be among his people.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/9 — Right before showtime at the Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant show at the Greek, MARTIN LAWRENCE and his date walked in with an entourage of people. He had some diamond-encrusted eyeglasses that look like they cost more than my car. MO'NIQUE was there really early with a guy and two women, and they were eating chicken tenders and fries. She was really nice to everyone who came up to her, even saying, "I love you, too" to the old man across the way who told her "I love you" and then kept flipping her off. She laughed.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/5 — At Mozza, sitting facing the window on Highland, jokingly ask GF if there's anybody behind me in the joint more famous than us? She replies "there is now" and the deuce next to us gets filled with some celeb I can't see and his girlfriend. Nobody pays them too much attention. The guy tries to establish his wine geek cred by asking if the HW knows James Sokolin, "a very good friend of (his) in New York." I recognise the voice and turn to see MATT DILLON. There's no way this guy is 6' tall. If he is, I'm Howard Stern. After their apps he moves to the banquette with his hottie Asian GF, some kissy-huggie and at that point the supplicants pour forth to pay their obeisance. Meanwhile, five LAPD black and whites (back east we call them "cruisers") and a helicopter are chasing a mob of demonstrators at Highland & Hollywood.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: 11/5 ZACH BRAFF just beat me to the door at the Laurel Canyon and Ventura Blvd. Coffee Bean a few minutes ago. (I always pick up my pace when I see others entering, I hate lines.) Although he beat me, he was kind enough to hold the door open for me, after he entered. He looked like he just woke up and was dressed hip casual in basketball shorts and long sleeved sweatshirt. Very unassuming and polite.

Hollywood PrivacyWatch UPDATE: Monica Lewinsky Spotted! Our tipster who earlier spied Intern Hall of Famer Monica Lewinsky waiting to vote outside the LA Tennis Club was just corroborated by another operative who preserved the moment in pictures. The tipster writes of delays pushing two hours, but let's face it: Waiting all morning to cast her ballot is the least Lewinsky could do for the American political process. Literally.
