Star spotting in LA LA Land

So after a lovely break in the desert, my friend and I made the short trip back to LA, so we were nearer LAX for her flight onto Texas. I fancied trying out the new Gordon Ramsay restaurant and celeb hang out and shopping experience, The Grove.

We were surprised to see the santa's grotto already up with 6 weeks to go for Xmas.  

The restaurant (The Fat Cow - the irony wasn't lost on me!) was like a bar, with a cool interior, but the prices were very 'Grove'. The kale salad was delish, as was the very thin pizza, but the chips were cold and at that price I would have liked them with gold leaf on them :-)

So walking back we watched a little of Extra being filmed, which is always nice. 

Dancing with Stars champ, and Iraqi veteran, J.R. Martinez

We then walked past the filming and were confronted by a plethora of burly minders and paps. Who was it? Who could it be?! Well it was Kylie Minogue! I am not a fan as many of you know, but it was still a good celeb spot. 

She was absolutely tiny - both in height and weight. If she hadn't had a massive pair of stilettos and a sprayed on denim suit, you would have thought it was a little girl! Unfortunately I had put my camera back in my handbag and missed the Kodak moment.

I then saw Guillermo Díaz walking into a barbers on Melrose. For those of you who watch Weeds or Scandal you will know him.

Added to this Alan Tudyk in The Counter, and a possible Adam Levine in the cinema (it was dark) I am racking up the celeb spots in LA :-)
