New York City prides itself on letting celebrities live their lives.
While you do see stars of TV and film out and about, you rarely see paparazzi trailing behind.
So I was particularly amused by this Huffington Post slideshow of stars picking up their dogs’ poop — all West Coast shots, mind you.
Everyone from The Office’s John Krasinski to Catherine Zeta-Jones to Paul Bettany are pictured with their pooch and that familiar blue baggie…’cause your dog doesn’t care what you do for a living as long as you take care of their business.
Personally, I haven’t spied any celebs in NYC picking up after their dogs. I have had a celebrity spy on me and my dog.
(It’s a favorite story — a ‘greatest hit,’ as my friend Dan would say.)
My dog Rory and I had just stepped outside of my apartment, and — good dog that he is — he was relieving himself in the street. During this process, I heard a small child’s voice from the sidewalk behind me say,
“Daddy, is that dog gonna bite me?”
A very familiar voice responded drily, “It probably won’t.” That’s when I turned around and saw Jerry Seinfeld watching me and my dog.
But don’t worry — he didn’t take any pictures.
He’s a New Yorker, after all.

Save the date
The last day of 2011. Blogs are filled with the year in review, ‘best of’ lists, and previews of what’s to come.
Me? I’m just psyched about my new calendar.
We may be living in a digital world, carrying our lives around on our smartphones, but I still love selecting the wall calendar that hangs over the desk in my home office.
It used to be a no-brainer — the New Yorker dog cartoons calendar every year. And then they stopped making it two years ago.
Bums.
So now I journey to Barnes & Noble, not knowing what calendar on the racks and spinners before me will catch my eye. But this year’s selection was an exciting combination of all the things I hold most dear:
Dogs. Movies. Celebrities. Kitch.
Yeah, that’s a cat. But he wasn’t dressed up for the photo. All the Jack Sparrow-ness was digitally added later.
There’s also Andy Warhol. And Austin Powers. Dame Edna. Mother Teresa.
Yep. It’s gonna be a good year.
