I worked at Starbucks in Wilmington, NC and they filmed Dawson's Creek there. Before they wrapped forever the cast and crew where regulars at the area Starbucks. The even more pretty in person, Katie Holmes used to get a 1/2caf grande soy latte and a bottle of water. She was very quiet and pleasant. She would come in alone and drive off in her black del sol with a dent in the side. Kerr Smith would come in and was sooo cute he would get a Iced venti extra vanilla vanilla Latte. Countless members of the crew came in including director David Carson would come in and get a grande no whip mocha some time with caramel drizzle.
Now they are filming One tree Hill there and the cast also enjoys their Starbucks...
Bethany Joy Lenz likes The Venti Caramel Frappucino Light, if I remember right. She was so sweet, always smiling. Chad Michael Murray with his then fiance Sophia Bush would come in together I can't rememeber what she gets but he would always get a Venti Extra white mocha White Chocolate Mocha. He used to hang out at our store alone quite a bit when the weather was nice and smoke cigarettes and tap on his lap top. He wasn't really friendlyk ind of a smart @ss. But His fiance was nice, She told me how much she likes the Hear Music Cds.
One day Joanna Kern from Growing Pains (Mrs. Seaver) came in I think she was directing a Lifetime movie at Screen Gems. She got a grande nonfat extra hot misto.
I miss working at that store, It was always fun seeing who was going to come in.

[shifty]

Sandra Bullock came in about two weeks ago to my store, and Dave Matthews a few days later.

We've also had the lady that plays Dr.Weaver on ER, Linda Hamilton, the kid from About a Boy, Robert Downey Junior...

They wear sunglasses

If you remember correctly, Real World Philadelphia was filmed directly across from a Starbucks. Some of the stuff they aired was from inside that Starbucks. You could often times see MJ and Landon leaving the house and walking around if you stayed in that Starbucks long enough. Also, the security guard would spend most of his time in the Starbucks talking up the pretty baristas in their instead of protecting the house from nosy fans. I wonder if Real World Austin is near a Starbucks.

[Hanley & Wydown]

I used to work at a Starbucks in Clayton, Mo. which is an upscale suburb of St. Louis. Cardinals and Rams players sometimes lived nearbye. Marshall Faulk came in a couple times. He didn't say much. Mark McGwire came in twice one weekend when he was in town for Mark McGwire Day or something at the stadium. He paid with a Starbucks card and didn't tip. Bob Costas also came in: I remember he got a carot bar, which my manager said he would buy all the time when he was in town. He looked older in person, but when I looked away and heard only the melliflous sound of his voice I knew it was him.

[areacode212]

The only Starbucks celeb sighting I can remember is from about a year ago--Alec Baldwin at the 86th/Columbus store.

[Partner 1139XXX]

Avril Lavigne came into my starbucks once. She paid in part with a Starbucks card and told us to throw it out...the barista on till was a big fan and put it up in the back room after she left...

It's wierd though because we are a small suburban starbucks...so what was Avril doing out here?

[Theo]

Back when I lived in Hollywood, my roommate used to love spotting porn star celebrities at the SBux on the corner of La Brea and Sunset. The only ones I remember are Jenna Jameson and Kitten Navidad, but he probably saw 50 or more over the three years we were roomies.

The location up on San Vincente is another hotspot for b-level stars. I saw Gedde Watanabe (probably best known as Long Duck Dong) and Ron Perlman there, and IIRC, that's where Nicole Simpson hung out.

[Writer_NW]

I met Tiger Woods at a Starbucks in Beaverton, OR. And I met Dave Matthews at a Starbucks in Seattle, WA.

And, of course, I go to Starbucks. I'm uber-famous.

[david]

Ehud Barak, former Prime Minster of Israel, at a Starbucks in Stamford, Ct. and I have no idea why he was there... but the big security contingent was a dead giveaway.

[Eric]

Which NYC Starbucks does the cast of the Opie and Anthony show (XM Radio) go to? Would love to run into them.

[ttrentham]

RE: Boston Starbucks Rebel's comment.

If I'm not mistaken, the nearest Starbucks to the Real World - Austin building (3rd and San Jacinto) is two blocks west and three blocks north at the corner of 6th and Congress. I go in there somewhat frequently. I never saw any of the cast members there, but I did see them walking to and from home with camera crew in tow quite a bit.

[Sarah]

I work at the NASA Starbucks, directly across the street from Johnson Space Center in Webster (Houston), Texas.
I guess astronauts are what we consider B-level celebs these days, but we get to see them all the time. I once made a smart ass comment about us never landing on the moon in front of the #2 director of Nasa. (i had no clue who she was!) 75% of our business is NASA employees. When we get bored we like to watch the NASA channel and spot customers.

[100xxx7]

i worked at the hanley & wydown store in STL for a couple of years. we'd answer the phone to hear kids (and adults) ask....."is mark mcgwire in your store right now?" mark always ordered a venti soy white chocolate mocha. then he'd pay with a 100 and we'd have to scrape up change. bob costas would order a tall decaf and a "carraht baaah." he always scraped off the icing. oh! and don't forget that certain blues player (wink-wink) who ordered the white chocolate mocha frappuccino with an add shot! {swoon}

i worked at a store in l.a. and our regulars included juliette lewis (tall 2-pump soy no water chai), butch vig (venti drip), shirley manson (decaf tall nonfat latte), lauren graham (grande vanilla nonfat latte...can't remember if it was decaf), and a host of television personalities i never recognized...(i don't watch much tv.)

[an american]

I don't work at a Starbucks, but at my local one in suburban Philly, I see Billy King--general manager of the 76rs basketball team--all the time. He drives the biggest, blackest Mercedez sedan I've ever seen. Larry Brown, former Sixers coach, used to stop in frequently too, since the team practiced at a gyn not far away. I've also seen Garry Maddox, former outfielder for the world champ '80 Phillies. All sports figures: guess we don't get too many famous actors in suburban Philly.

[Canada]

Adam Brody from The OC was filming a movie here, came in and got a grande mild.

[David]

100XXX7, when did you work at Hanley & Wydown? I worked there from Aug '03 to Aug '04.

[100xxx7]

i was there from its opening week in 2000 until november of 2002. then i moved to hollyweird. if you see ann, say hi for me!

[your mom]

opie from opie and anthony is a frequent customer at the huntington village starbucks on long island...he usually gets a tall nonfat cappuccino...also the real world producer from a few years ago that went out with one of the girls on the show is in all the time...both nice guys

[cornfrost]

Most annoyingly, I wasn't there the night Bill Clinton came in. But I've seen Jennifer Garner (breathtaking!), Alexis Denisof, Alan Alda, Liam Neeson and his wife, Liza Minelli and her erstwhile husband (who came in with their bodyguard once, but usually alone), Jim Carrey, Tony Kushner, Matthew Lillard, Lisa Ling, Darryl Hannah (she ordered organic milk), Faith Ford, Rebecca Budig and a bunch of soap opera stars, some of whom I cannot recognize, but most of whom look better than the average person. Dakota Fanning would come in with her mom, her agent (and once her little sister) when they were in NY and get plain pound cake for the next day's breakfast.

[Heathen]

I've seen Heather Locklear (with hubby) at the Westlake Ca Sbux.

[skitcher]

I work in Kelowna, BC. Last summer, I sold a bar blender to Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. And last week, we had Paul Johansson from One Tree Hill in our store hanging out for a couple hours with some girl, maybe from the same show?

[D.J. Roberson]

At the Starbucks at Food Emporium in north Lynnwood, WA, the celebritys there are the baristas who serve me every morning, knowing my order and serving it up with a smile.

[inpgh]

Saw Robert Downey Jr. in the Starbucks in the Westin William Penn in Pgh. He was in town filming Wonder Boys.

Does Starbucks HQ start? I met Bono there last fall. He was lovely to everyone who came up to him, and he smelled incredible. ;-)

[Barista]

Norfolk, VA
Ghent (Colley Ave)
May 29, 2005

Faith Evans

[Clearwater, FL]

Met Hulk Hogan and daughter at my bux once. Both ordered a venti caramel frappuccino.

Also met Derek Jeter, who ordered a no-whip java chip frappuccino.

Oops, I can't count ... the Bono comment should say "Does Starbucks HQ COUNT," not "start." Der.

.... I can't type, not I can't count. Wow. Time for some caffeine from Starbucks, apparently.

[melina]

i saw the entire cast of "the real world san diego" at a starbuck's in san diego!!!

[big D]

I saw Anthony Kiedis at the Westchester, CA SBUX. Howard Schultz often visits there when he is in L.A. Does he count as a celeb??

[CT barista]

I worked in the Starbucks in Bristol, CT, the home of ESPN. Most of the people on ESPN I didn't know although I knew they were very important. I think Dee Snyder if I'm spelling that correctly came in. Somebody can just sound it out and attempt to extrapolate it. Also Max Kellerman got something crazy, like a frappucino although I could be wrong, I think it was a venti no-whip java chip frappucino, no whip. There was also his friend Brian Kenny who came in with Max. Brian had an entire family that wanted frappucinos so we had to make like 10 frappucinos or something. Although I believe that Brian Kenny himself got an iced venti soy chai if my memory serves correctly. Also alot of the ESPN staff would come in each morning looking for their coffee fix because they were no longer in NYC and needed some coffee. I think Starbucks was first placed in Bristol because ESPN wanted some good coffee and in case Howard Schultz should decided to come into town?

[1149xxx]

At my former store in Marietta, GA, former wrestler Dusty Rhodes and his wife would come in quite frequently.

[cerebro]

im from Wellington, New Zealand

a few months ago we had Elijah Wood come to our store, he ordered a Quad esspresso over ice in a venti cup.

I have also served Adrian Broady he came in regularly and got a tall soy chai latte.

[Dave]

Fresh out of college in 1995 I worked at a Starbucks in San Diego on 5th Avenue & Robinson. We used to see Lorenzo Lamas all of the time. A few sightings of the guy who plays "Jack" on Alias (Victor Garber) as well as Stacey Dash from "Clueless". One night Rob Halford (formerly of Iron Maiden) came in with his entourage (I think he had espresso). I can't remember what any of the others had.

[chris]

this will probably only register with fey indie rocker types, but when i worked at the little charles st store in boston, lou barlow and john davis from the folk implosion came in for tea. lou lived across the street for a while and i always saw him around. also, portions of 'a civil action' were filmed in front of our store, so john travolta dontated a bunch of money to our literacy program and did some in-store autographs. nice guy for a scientologist wacko.

[chris]

oh, and dave, rob halford was in judas priest. bruce dickinson is in iron maiden.

(sorry. music geek pedantry can't be suppressed.)

[DJADAMG]

North and Wells, Chicago, now closed.
My very first day on bar, I heard a familiar voice ordering a grande non-fat latte. It was John malkovich. He was in town directing a play. He was in that store every day for hours at a time for a few weeks. It was just like in the movie, "Being John Malkovich". People would be like, "Aren't you...?"He was super nice and always very friendly.

Chris Farley came in and was very nice. One of our baristas went to camp with his sister and they sang camp songs very loud to the delight of all the customers.

Christina Applegate, Sandra Bullock, Ron Howard, Dan Akroyd, Mr. T...

Lots of local News celebrities, like Bill Kurtis, now hosting those true crime shows (very nice).

I subbed at at the Starbucks across the street from CBS, and Gene Siskel came in, and Lester Holt (not very nice).

[indietastesbetter]

Real stars hang out at indie shops. You know, the kind of stores that actually know how to make a good espresso and drip.

[Boston Starbucks Rebel]

OMG the new Alanis CD cmae out today. I have to say that it is pretty good and worth the buy. It is definetely a CD that shows the musical influence over the last decade. For example, the neo-soul influence can definetely be heard some of the songs. Also, some of the lyrics have been modified to indicate the social changes which have occured in the last decade.

[Ed]

I saw Ann Richards at a Starbucks in Dallas a couple of years ago. She was quiet and unassuming and very pleasant.

[tjolly813]

I work at the Chinatown (7th & H) Starbucks in Washington, DC; we're one half block away from the MCI and convention centers.
On Inauguration Day, Stephen Baldwin (filthy conservative of "BioDome" fame) and "The Daily Show's" Mo Rocca came into our store. We've also had Gheorge Muresan, former Wizards and "My Giant" star and Howard Schulz, CEO of Starbucks, visit. Local newscasters Doreen Gentzler and Gordon Bentley also come in.

[cornfrost]

Late in the afternoon, James Brady of Parade was interviewing Evan Rachel Wood, the daughter on "Once and Again," in our Starbucks. It was very hot, both outside and inside, and she was overdressed in long sleeves and long jeans.

[ex New Orleans barista]

i worked in new orleans and saw britney spears, jenifer lopez' trainer, AND i cussed out the so not famous Jeremy Piven.

[Drinker]

I have followup questions!

Dave Matthews has been spotted twice already -- what does he drink? Is he a caffeine fiend or what? Same question about Downey Jr but I think we know wha sort of fiend he is ;->

Does John Malkovich sound especially creepy ordering a non far grand latte?

What did Jeremy Piven do to require a cussing smackdown?

What did Bono smell like and how on earth did you get close enough?

Any good second hand stories about the Clinton visit? Al Gore visited a Berkeley cafe once (Strada on Bancroft/College), ran out of his waiting limo and ordered a white chocolate mocha (which to be fair was the specialty of that cafe).

[Tyler Durden]

Hey Drinker, lighten up, you sound like a stalker.

Alanis Morrisette played three songs at my store (Astor Place, NYC) yesterday as part of a radio promotional contest. Howard Schultz was there too. Matt Damon is a regular when he's in town, I've personally seen Seth Green, Chris Noth and Eva from America's Top Model...other partners have seen Jay Zee, Parker Posey, etc.

[TWM]

I didn't actually see him, but...

When I went to the Arlo Guthrie show at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music, I stopped in the nearby Starbucks -- the barista said Arlo had been in about half an hour earlier.

[Drinker]

Stalking seven people? That would be hard. More like Barbara Walters wannabe ;->

Bono smelled like expensive men's cologne ... but it was subtle, not like a hanky man-skank who bathes in nasty cologne. It was nummy, whatever it was.

[Heather]

Britney Spears comes to my Starbucks all the time. I saw Billy Bob Thorton once. And some basketball player from the Bulls, I don't remember his name, but my male coworkers were freaking out so he must be important.

I work at Starbucks in Chicago. Joan Cusak has a child/children that attend the school across the street and she comes in quite often during the school year. Billy Corigan also comes in often.

[Ivy]

Jeremy Piven doesn't count. He's everywhere, I swear.

This is second-hand, but Tim Robbins was at the Starbucks in downtown Evanston, Ill., in early '02.

I don't know what he ordered, though. :-(

[ex coffee wench]

i worked all over chicago and saw many celebs. the most was at 444 mich. store. jerry springer and crew, jenny jones and crew,the cast of er =(the good cast)noah, george,julia. it was also the store that they closed to film mercury rising with bruce willis, a lot of the extras inside and outside are the baristas. 111 chestnut- john cusak and neve cambell used to live above the store. she is way more beautiful in person.a lot more people but i don't want to ramble

[ex coffe wench]

dj adam when did you work at ontario and mc clurg

Steve Buschemi came in and read his "Brooklyn Noir" book for atleast 30 minutes. Then there was one of the Olson twins escorted by a few massive men. She ordered a Non fat latte. Her sunglasses were way too big for her head. The singer of Sigur Ros came in and I gave him 6 soy lattes for free because they're the best band in the world. Jon Stewart is a regular at that store too. Drew Barrymore came in a few times with her Strokes boyfriend. She was wearing an Iron Maiden shirt and was extremely friendly.

How about UK celebs? Saw diminutive cutey Gail Porter with her baby at a Hampstead SBUX.

[Boston Barista]

Hey. I was talking with some friends and they said that Howie Day goes into the Starbucks on School St. in Boston. Pretty cool. Don't know what he drinks though.

[John]

Don't know if anyone knows him or not but I saw Andy Stanley (Very famous pastor, written several books) in the Alpharetta *$.

[baristagirl]

I work in Kelowna BC and we've had Mad Child from Swollen Members (the musical group) come in pretty frequently last summer. Other than that, haha our mayor is pretty much the extend of my experiences :p

[cortney]

Back to that comment about never seeing celebs at Starbucks in Houston...
My boyfriend used to work at the Starbucks at Montrose and Hawthorne, and he saw a handful of celebs. No Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears, but he saw Margaret Cho, Tim Robbins, Pauly Shore and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. I think there were others but those are the ones I remember.

[ducatista]

Frequented the *$ at Sunset Plaza. Stood in line with David Schwimmer. He's very tall and polite (i.e., stood patiently in a long morning line) and waited his turn with the rest of the minions.

[Ashlee]

drew barrymore was in my store ummm around october. i think it was the day after her dad died. she was filming the "Niagara Falls" scene in her movie "Fever Pitch" she came in with her boyfriend. - Ashlee Niagara Falls

[ashlee]

^^^ drew barrymore ordered a iced venti unsweetened black tea!

[Austin K.]

Jim Donald (Starbucks CEO) is planning on making a visit to our humble Starbucks kiosk, which is really surprising considering it's a licenced store. Rumor is that at one point in his life he worked with the CEO of the grocery chain that we operate within.

I've seen Larry Joe Campbell from the show According to Jim he plays Andy and also I've seen Anthony Helad from the movie Silence of the Lamb(Dr.Fredirick Chilton),I've seen Carin Richman from Gidget TV Show, Harrison Ford, Mario Martenolli

[Boston Barista]

I saw Paris Hilton outside the Starbucks on Huntington Ave on 22 June 2005. Her limo drove by but she did not get out. The license plate registry is Hiltn1. I saw her inside.

[nyiddle]

I think I remember seeing my reflection in the window of a Starbucks once. Could that pass off?
=p

No, but in all seriousness, I've never seen anyone famous in a Starbucks. Besides like... My teachers.

[baristabarbie]

down in the ghetto of so cal... lake elsinore... we had willy nelson... shorter than expected but not very friendly... didn't talk much but smiled as he left... not too far away in murieta i had a chance encounter with tom cruise... he was incognito but i had found hout he had been frequenting our store for months ingonito. one of my regulars was an old family friend i guess and told tom that he frequented the same location as well and to say hey to some of the hardworking baritas their... he did a few times as long as we did not cause an all out panic... very humble man and very generous... thanked us profusly for are hard work and was a generous tipper

[Denise]

Yesterday Robert Van Winkle (vanilla ice) came through the drive through at the starbucks where I work in florida whats weird is i saw him the day before at home depot he's actually one of my neighbors and seems to be a down to earth guy.

what was britney like what she order

[Bliss]

I saw hip hop model & video girl at the Starbucks in Fayetteville, Ga. In real life the "Tip Drill" queen was real sweet. I asked her about the controversy surrounding the Nelly video and she ignored that comment but promoted the new play she is in and offered to give me free tickets if I emailed her website. Cool! I will definitly be at that and the starbucks in Fayetteville, she is there often.

[Jodie]

When Britney Spears is in town she always visits the SBUX at Hilton Village w/ her hubby.

[Holden McCrank]

Who is that in the accompanying picture? It looks like a sleestak, only uglier.

[KellyTX]

Does anyone know what starbucks is popular to celebrity sight see in Los Angeles?

I live in Houston and during the superbowl, Madonna went to the starbucks near the galleria. I wasn't there, but I had a friend who was. Madonna was just finishing her morning jog.

[Arlington]

When Sandra Bullock's mother was alive, Sandra used to come into the Starbucks in Arlington, VA on Lee Highway whenever she was in town visiting her parents. Since her mother passed away, Sandy no longer comes to DC area and her father has since moved to Austin to work on her production company.

The chick from Bring it On, Eliza Dushku (sp?) came in once. She was wearing a raggedy wife beater with a hole in it. Helen Hunt also came in...she looked verrrry old. Made Gina Davis' drink. She was very sweet even though I got her name mixed up and asked if she was "Gina Lee Davis". Must've been confusedd with Gina Lee Nolin.

[alexandria]

I just saw Barbara Walters in the store at Alexandria just a couple miles from my apt. An Asian girl asked if she could take her picture and she flat out said "NO".

[Abby Lockhart Fan]

Katie Holmes and Jennifer Aniston came into the starbucks (separately)on the Old Kent Road in London, ordered an Egg Nog Latte - Good Choice!

[cornfrost]

Renee Zellweger and a female friend came in a few weeks ago, just days before her annullment was announced. She ordered a venti skim half-caff no-whip pumpkin spice latte. She is quite short -- 5'1", at most -- and quite beautiful.

Jackie Mason came in two days in a row, each time with a bunch of people.

Tom Cavanagh, star of Ed, is a regular, sometimes with his tall blond wife Maureen.

[sean]

We had faith hill come into our store in boston 97 charles#864

[Connie]

Boston, '05. CA Gov. Arnold S. with security, aides in tow.

[Traci Shaw]

Question for Abby Lockhart Fan - where is your starbucks? I am a big Tom Cavanagh fan and wondered where you saw him?

[Connie]

Boston, Oct. '05. Juilette Lewis (Natural Born Killers, Old School). Prudential Center Starbucks. She was touring with her band.

I heard that his new show Love Monkey is filmed in NYC. Anyway what Tom Cavanagh look like now? Does he look like he did on ED? What was he like, was he nice? Was his wife nice?

Question for Abby Lockhart Fan - where is your starbucks? I am a big Tom Cavanagh fan and wondered where you saw him?

I HEARD THAT TOM CAVANAGH GOES TO THE STARBUCKS IN NEW YORK CITY.

Wow! You see the actor Tom Cavanagh and his wife. Did his wife by any chance look pregnant?

Hey there cornfrost PLEASE tell us more about the Handsome Tom Cavanagh! :)

So you saw Tom Cavanagh from Ed.That is cool. Did he still looked just as built as he did on Ed??? I love the athletic basketball build

[Bonnie]

When I was working at a Starbucks in Indianapolis, Indiana a few years back, Jason Priestly from 90210 came in and got a Grande Cappucino! At first, I wasn't sure if it was him or not, but it was later confirmed that he was, in fact, in town for the race. Hottie.

A few years ago I used to see John Ritter and Henry Winkler come to my store in Silverlake on a pretty regular basis.
Now I see Phil Spector fairly regularly. He is non-communicative and heavily sedated. His publicist/girlfriend does all the talking. I hope he doesn't come in and shoot up the place.

I heard that Tom Cavanagh lives in NYC and he goes to Starbucks. But I do not know if Maureen is pregnant. Does anyone else know? As for Tom's build I heard that he is beefed up more!

[Jessie]

hey does anyone know of anybody else other then tiger woods in the portland oregon area? im at the beaverton/raliegh hills starbucks. would love to know

[NY ASM]

I've served Mary Kate Olsen her venti sugar free vanilla skim latte. Pretty unpleasant girl.

Juliette Lewis gets a soy chai. She's alright, pretty pretentious seeming.

Mike Myers gets a double short breve cappucino. He's nice, very serious and very quiet.

Molly Ringwald gets a grande skim wet cappucino. She's always miserable. Guess it's the has-been status.

I've served Drew Barrymore, but I can't remember her drink. Pretty nice.

Parkey Posey was my favorite regular before I moved stores. Hilarious, and as loopy in real life as in the movies. One day this summer, she came in to get her usual grande drip on roller blades with her little dog under one arm. She rolled out and realized she had no way to get down the steps. I had to help her before she busted her head open.

Guy Pearce is nice and quiet.

Rufus Wainwright gets drip coffee.

The Strokes get frappucinos in the summer. Hahahaha. How punk rock.

I have a huge list of celebs. It's not really a fazing situation anymore.

[cornfrost]

Heavens! I am embarrassed to admit that at first I didn't know who Tom Cavanagh was, though he did look like a movie star. He kind of glows in the dark, if you know what I mean. The store he frequents is in NYC, Columbus and 67th. I haven't seen him for two or three weeks. He does not look beefy at all. His wife did not look pregnant. They are both extremely gracious and polite, but do not hang around and gab with us.

Jessie, is Michelle Adams still your DM?

[Maggy]

Adrian Young (the drummer from no doubt) and his wife used to be regulars at my starbucks..
they always ordered iced grande nonfat 2 pump mocha mochas
his wife was always very friendly..she looked a little older than him
he was just quiet most of the time
although, they didnt tip a lot

Hey thanks cornfrost! :)
I would have thought though, that Tom Cavanagh to be more or less humble looking instead of wanting to stick out. Does Tom look like he did on Ed?
Oh I would have thought that Tom would want to talk about sports and all, lol ;)
Does his wife look a lot like a Hollywood actress?

They are both extremely gracious and polite, but do not hang around and gab with us.

Posted by: cornfrost | Nov 17, 2005 9:28:34 PM

Was the reason why Tom Cavanagh and his wife Maureen did not "gab" with you all because they seemed shy or did they have a "snotty air" to them?
Thanks!

[-m]

I saw Tim Curry a couple weeks ago. I was looking over the P&L in my lobby when I saw him at the condiment bar. I really wanted to get his autograph, but I didn't want to make a scene, so I waited 'til he was right at the door. He was very nice and gave me a cool autograph on the back of my Oct P&L. Very cool guy.

Heavens! I am embarrassed to admit that at first I didn't know who Tom Cavanagh was, though he did look like a movie star. He kind of glows in the dark, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I hear ya. Though I am rather shocked that Tom Cavanagh would be the "flashy hollywood type". it has been reported that Tom is not like that in real life. Oh well guess he changed!

[youknowit]

...katie holmes and chris klein used to come in often to my little neighborhood store in Southern California (before they broke up)...now I work at a mall starbucks as we have seen sandra bullock, nicholas cage, michael keaton, hillary duff, robert englund, kobe bryant - and some others I can't remember....

[cornfrost]

When I said that Tom Cavanagh glowed in the dark, I meant he definitely looked striking, but not because he was trying. He is very tall, with jet-black hair and bright blue eyes. His wife is also very tall, with fair, blonde hair. They are conspicuous because they are better-looking than most people, though not at all in a glamorous way. I don't know what he looked like on Ed, so I'm afraid I can't compare. They did not seem shy or snotty, but rather totally normal and pleasant.

Posted by: cornfrost | Nov 18, 2005 10:06:27 PM

Thank you cornfrost for the update! :)
All I can say from what I remember of this actor Tom Cavanagh is on Ed he was really clean cut (short hair and all). Do you see them a lot? I heard that Tom is a very private person, do you get that feeling when you see him and his wife?

Thank you for your updates!

[minnie]

Hi there cornfrost, Just one question when you said that:
"When I said that Tom Cavanagh glowed in the dark, I meant he definitely looked striking, but not because he was trying. He is very tall, with jet-black hair and bright blue eyes. His wife is also very tall, with fair, blonde hair. They are conspicuous because they are better-looking than most people, though not at all in a glamorous way."
Why do you say such. Did his wife dress in an outfit that "stands out" from "us average people" or were they dressed for some kind of dinner date?

Please do not be offended here but I am rather confused. By this remark it sounds to me as if Tom and this Maureen are "trying" to look like they stepped out of "In-Style" magazine!

[cornfrost]

It seems to me that Tom C. has a kind of cult following, and people are imputing all sorts of hidden meaning onto a straightforward comment!

I meant that they are both attractive, tall and good-looking. I do not understand how this is a confusing statement. When I have seen them, they were not doing a thing to stand out. They quietly waited in line like everyone else. I did not write anything about what they were wearing. They may have been wearing sweatshirts and jeans. Frankly, I don't remember because their clothing was utterly nondescript.

I read that Tom Cavanagh is very maintenance that could be why these people think that Tom stands out!!!

Cornfrost,
I think Minnie was just wondering because Tom Cavanagh heard that it takes him twenty minutes to do his hair and that is why she was curious why he stuck out. I don't understand also because one is tall makes them good looking. That shouldn't matter

[michelle walsh]

It is a little known secret that on the Warner Brothers Studio lot, there is a company store with a Starbucks/Jamba Juice/Ben&Jerrys inside. I had the distinct pleasure of working there from January of '03 until June of the same year. Let me tell you, there were a plethora of famous people there at any given time. I personally saw the entire cast of the Drew Carey Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, Seth Green, Sandra Bullock (she was the executive producer of the George Lopez show, which they taped at WB), George Lopez, Noah Wiley from ER, a couple of other cast members from ER whose names I don't know, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Clint Eastwood. George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh share a production company that has it;s residence on the lot. But, the creme de la creme was not a celebrity, although in my book, he is. I made friends with one of the special effect/art directors during the filming of the Matrix:Revolutions, and bless him forever, he took me and my friend Jen on a tour of the soundstage to see those big robot fighter things they had during the battle scene in Zion. That was one of the highlights of my life, needless to say.

[Karla]

Starbucks in Chatt. TN.
Dude, we saw Vanilla Ice, or now as he likes to be called Rob Van Winkle.
He ordered a vanilla latte. I snorted.

[D.C]

Hey, has anyone seen Tom Cavanagh lately?

[cs]

When you saw Tom Cavanagh by chance did you have a tatoo?

[Holden McCrank]

Enough talk of this Tom Cavanagh goofball. Will someone please tell me who that ugly sleestack looking person at the top of the page is?

Oh why?, Tom Cavanagh is the main talk of this page! :P ;)

[STARBUCKS GOSSIP webmaster]

That's one of the Olsen twins in the photo on the top of the page. Either Mary-Kate or Ashley (I can't tell them apart).

Has anyone ever seen nicole richie and know what her order is? email me!!! queenie0106@hotmail.com

[kelly]

does anyone know what that red drink is that everyone seems to drink at SB...its like iced and red in color

[Jeremy]

Two red drinks I can think of. Blended strawberry lemonade and strawberries and cream fraps. The right amount of raspberry syrup in a white mocha could be red.

[-m]

pasion tea lemonade?

[Starbucks 12 Step Program]

A friend of mine worked in a SBUX in NYC and Sheryl Crow came in. Shes a HUGE Sheryl fan so she wrote "you're an inspiration" on her cup, and Sheryl came back to thank her.

[OC Barista]

used to work at Main St. Huntington Beach... my roommate at the time waited on Robert Downey Jr. who would come in just about once a month because he was meeting his parole officer.... :)

EH is that the starbucks that tom cavanagh goes to?

Saw Phil Spector again today...that guy is creeeeepy.

[FAISA OMAR]

I SAW GAEL GARCIA BERNAL IN STARBUCKS IN ISLINGTON IN LONDON WHEN HE WAS DOING "BLOOD WEDDING"

[Renate]

We had Halle Berry and K.M. Brandauer @ our store in Vianna International Airport.

[Ma]

If you are wondering about Tom Cavanagh skeet then you will have to see him here:
"Love Monkey" stars Thomas Cavanagh, Judy Greer, and Jason Preistley, and utilized New York City locations including The Chelsea Hotel, CBGB’s, Arlene’s Grocery, The Tribeca Grand Hotel, Tribeca Park, Tompkins Square Park, The Gansevoort Hotel, and Times Square. The production employed some 100 New Yorkers.

[STARBUCKS GOSSIP webmaster]

Let's move the Tom Cavanagh Fan Club off this page, please.

[Mulder]

I saw a M.I.B. at the -Address blacked out-
location. Oddly enough, the above ordered an
empty venti cup and headed strait for the
bathrooms. Minutes after handed the recepticle
to the barrista on duty and called out loud
'One yellow froth with heavy mocha' and exited
the premises promptly...

[DCbarista]

DC gets more big names than you could possibly imagine: Nicole Kidman, Rudy Giuliani, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Beyonce, Dave Chapelle, Ben Stein, Robin Williams, Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Nathan Lane (The Producers ran at the Kennedy Center and we were their favourite Starbucks), Montel Williams (who got some sort of rasbperry soy white mocha thinking it was more complicated than it was and left us $11 and $14 tips... amazing), Sandra Bullock, Minnie Driver (who asked one my partners, "Young man, are you high?"), Christian from Road Rules, Nelly, Patrick Stewart, the guy who played Charlotte's second husband on Sex and the City

Lots of politicians (clearly): the Secretary of Commerce is one of our regulars, he gets a triple grande skim slightly wet cappuccino; the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff came in and I didn't recognize him until after I called my random assortment of Starbucks pins my "decorations" but told him his were better.

But my all time favourite was the big man himself, Howard Schultz, who stayed in the Ritz behind us for a week and visited us every day. We talked about health care for about half an hour, it was pretty awesome.

[KTXBarista]

I work in a very remote location in Killeen Texas, where almost always nothing happens, with the exception of military action. (Troops from our military post, Fort Hood, are the ones who caught Sadaam Hussein in Iraq.)Anyhow, about 2 weeks ago, we had Eric Estrada from CHIPS in our store. He was a pretty friendly guy, guarded by a Texas State Trooper. I was working drive thru, so I don't know what he ordered from the cafe`. And I don't know what he was doing in town, but he made sure to come see us. Left a five buck tip, which is better than most in this area. Merry Christmas to all partners out there around the world!!!!

[barista]

at my starbuck we always have the head coach of the redskins, Joe Gibbs, in our store. he is always handing out guides in how to find god, it kinda odd. he lives just right across the street and always eat at the restaurant next to our store!

[guy in dc]

I'm not a barista, just a customer, but I saw George Tenet, former director of the CIA; stood in line just in front of him.

[michelle]

at the store i used to work at in canton, ohio i got to wait on tiger woods. he was in town for a tourney and stoppped in on his way to the airport. it was like a half hour after we opened, he ordered a grande earl gray tea and handed me a $100 bill. i had to try to scrounge together his change from 2 tills. he didn't leave a tip but i got his autograph and got to chat w/ him for a moment.

[Jeannie Hahl]

Does anyone know what type of drink Madonna usually orders from Starbucks? Just wondering...

[felicia]

I work at a ybor city florida location,derek jeter came in ordered a venti java chip frap and he was with a lady friend (unrecognizable by fame) who ordered a vent soy iced carmel mach. they sat at the table in the corner for a while,gave me a horrible tip and left after he kept getting bugged by a group of mabey 15ish year old girls,while he was walking out he slapped his lady friend on the butt (very cute)

[jen]

The best for celeb sitings in NYC is Sheridan Square! Liv, Sara Jessica, Parker, Phillips Seymour, Kate Hudson, etc. The whole Greenwich Village crew.
Also Montel is the best tipper eva! $18 on a doppio, now that is *$!

[cornfrost]

Yes, Jen, I have also heard that Montel is a great tipper.

[Toronto....]

Bruce Willis in Toronto...

[your mom 2]

we get the real papa john..hes stupid and rude he also has pepperonis for nipples....

jon lovitz...gran-dee cappuccino..piece of iced lemon pound cake...is it kosher?????????

nurse betty the single most unhealthy woman on the planet..she will go down in history.."an iced venti 6 shot breve eggnog latte blended in the blender with whip and the leftover in another cup...for me to smear on my body..."

umm what?

[DCBARISTA]

We got LeeAnn Rimes and Reese Witherspoon (+kids and personal assistant, but no hot hubby) yesterday and today. Matthew Lesko, the guy who wears those question-mark suits from all those crazy "Get the Government's grant money!" commercials, is one of our regulars, about monthly i'd say

[BaristaDrew]

Yeah, so I get really excited about celebs, and end up saying the stupidest things. Today, I was on bar and I call a grande almond soy latte and then realize that Reese Witherspoon is at the handoff. I nearly shat myself and then said, "Oh, Ms. Witherspoon, if I had known that was yours I would have made it REALLY good." WTF!?!?!? Knights of Columbus, why did I say that??? Then I asked her for her autograph on a cup I had remarked as what she was drinking (this is what i do for all the SBUX autographs I get), and she said yes...but I think she only did b/c I was still making her kids hot chocolate. She was really nice, though.

Also, I've made a grande skim cappucinno for Nicole Kidman, a triple grande skim wet cappucinno for Sec. of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez, a grande skim latte for Chris Matthews, and something for Matthew Lesko(??? Guy).

My store is basically the coolest...ever.

[fred]

I work at one in Alpharetta, GA. Usher, Whitney & Bobby, Tom Glavin (Braves/Mets), Faith Evans all live nearby and come in. Mel Gibson came in once too, but I dont think he lives around here.

[c'est moi]

I've served Keri Russell (Felicity) in Athens, GA (saw Michael Stipe but um...he walked on by hehe), Merideth Baxter (Birney) in Atlanta, GA, also Joe Kennedy in Watertown, MA That 'Body by Jake' guy in Brighton, MA, The 'Los Millions' guys (snooze), but by all means, having YO-YO MA as a regular in Brighton was an honor.

[sara]

I WORK AT A STARBUCKS IN ROYAL OAK, MICHIGAN, WHICH IS A VERY CLOSE SUBURB NEAR DETROIT. ON ONE VERY SLOW SUNDAY NIGHT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO RENEE ZELWGGER AND JACK WHITE BOTH CAME IN WHILE I WAS THE ONLY BARISTA WORKING. SHE ORDERED A VANILLA LATTE AND GAVE ME A 2.50 TIP!

[amanda]

DOES NE ONE KNOW BRITNEY'S SPEARS' FAVORITE FRAPPUCCINO IS??????????????????????????????????

[Nancy]

The Boston Herald's Inside Track had a very interesting atricle on an up and coming Boston actor Mike O'Dea that is using Starbucks to spin off a publicity stunt video for his latest movie 'Townies'

Publicity Stunt Article Here

[imabarrista]

"DOES NE ONE KNOW BRITNEY'S SPEARS' FAVORITE FRAPPUCCINO IS??????????????????????????????????"

I am sure it is triple blended and full of air. Anyone who puts a kid on her lap and drives off has to be an airhead.

[baristadinating]

Ohhh mine's the best!!

A local newscaster comes through the drive thru

Ha ha ha that's what I get for working in the boring midwest :)

[barista #112]

I can tell you that by the look of Britney Spears cups they are either caramel or white mocha. Plus she totally looks like a white mocha or xtra caramel frappuccino kind of girl. Any barista knows what I mean! haha
I work in Sacramento and we have had Bobby Lee who is funny as hell! Also Britney came in a few years back when she actually still worked.

[sbuxmanager]

In Chicago: Ben Stein (teacher from Ferris Bueller), Tony Hawk, Shaquille O'Neal, Scott Glynn, Rod Stewart, Steven King, Hersey Hawkins, The acrobat guy from Ocean's Eleven.

NYC: Bob Costas, Dan Marino, Rene Zellweger, Sean McMahon, Ricky Martin, Jerome Bettis, Anderson Cooper.

True story: Kerry Wood used to come into the store at Clark & Hubbard in Chicago. He stopped coming in because one of the baristas wouldn't stop giving him pitching advice.

[Karyl]

Hey there! I don't work at a Sbux (yet) but as much as I stop and get coffee there, I might as well get a job there. I'm sure I'd be happier working there than in my current job neway! LOL My question is: Has anyone seen Ricky Martin frequent any one Sbux store? I'd love to run into him in a Sbux. He and I get the same thing, 4 shot Venti Vanilla Latte, nonfat, sugar free (well, I haven't made it to sugar free yet). I'm a huge Ricky fan, and would love some info on where he's spotted most. Thx!! :)

[sbuxmanager]

Spike Lee came in the other day too

[barista@202]

I've served Jeremy Piven his drink a couple times. I think it was an Iced Venti Vanilla Soy Latte. He seemed like a really nice guy, I dunno why someone earlier said he/she had to cuss him out. Met R Kelly also, with his group of body guards. Santino from the second season of Project Runway was in the store last week with a friend. I think he got either drip coffee or tea because when he picked up the drink I made for him at the bar, it was for his friend.

[courtney]

Does anyone know what Mischa Barton and Nicole Richie order @ SBUX?

[ChaiChic]

John Travolta has been our Ocala, FL Starbucks six times, his wife Kelly Preston has been in once. They have a house just north of town. John always gets a double espresso, twice he got dark chocoate covered grahams. The last time he was in he left us a $20 tip.

When I started at Starbucks 9 years ago Brooke Shields and Andre' Aggesi came into my store in Vegas, she is just as beautiful with no make up as she is on TV. As for what they drank I can't recall

[Newbiebarista]

Ben Miles from Coupling is currently a regular at our Starbucks, because he's filming a movie nearbye. (If you haven't seen coupling, you are missing out!)
That's it for us...

[Kat]

i was wondering if anyone knows what kind of fraps that Mary-Kate Olsen orders? or any of her orders at all?
i saw someone mention "venti sugar free vanilla skim latte" but there has to be others.
Thanks!

it's probably a tall sugar free vanilla (or hazlenut) non-fat extra-ice blended late" they balloon up to fit a venti cup, and have all of 50 calories.

[Bri]

i'm a barista in the sf bay area and want to know a good store to visit while in Los Angeles.

anyone have any suggestions? any good places to see celebrities or really good atmosphere?

[Viva Las Vegas]

I was at a Starbucks in Las Vegas and saw Siegfried Fishbacher (Siegfried & Roy). It was about 6PM New Years Eve. I don't know what he ordered, but he was talking to the Barista making his drink about how he was performing later that night. Two nights later, I saw Penn & Teller sitting outside another Starbucks(Tropicana & Decatur) with a small group. It was so Las Vegas.

[barista chica]

CARA from REAL WORLD CHICAGO came in starbucks! we chatted while i took her drink order (grande nonfat upside-down caramel macchiato) and when i asked her name and she said "cara" i looked up - omg it was her. i totally wanted to have a teeny-bopper moment (cause i fucking love that bulimic slutty ass bitch and chicago was my favorite season) but instead i was cool, calm, and collected.

[John]

So far, at the two stores I've worked at in Denver, we've had James Taylor, Dave Attell, Johnny Depp, Pam Grier, and the Black Eyed Peas (well, Fergie and Apl) come in.

[AB Pahtna]

For the past two weeks or so, Vin Diesel has been in town. We've served him quite a few times. A decaf triple espresso machiatto fot him and a decaf grande cappuccino for whoever it is that comes in with him.

[Jason]

You can sometimes catch Ben Folds, Keith Urban/Nicole Kidman at the Starbucks in nashville.

Lindsay Lohan, Billy Joel, Coral from Real World, Melissa from RW New Orleans.

[Jenn]

OK, in all honesty, I've never been in a Starbucks in my LIFE. Well, at least not that I remember. But I heard Randy Harrison(Justin from QAF) was in a NY Starbucks late May with his 'guy friend' (hmm.sure). Ya know, I rly have to add going inside a Starbucks on my things-to-do list, but I doubt I'll see any celebs in a PA Starbucks:/

[Jeannie Auclair]

Less than one year before he passed away, John Ritter ordered a grande caramel latte along with two slices of classic coffee cake. He had quite a pot belly and was taller than I imagined he would be, but that unmistakable voice hit me.

He was very pleasant at 7 a.m., one other customer in the store at that time (a miracle), we left him to read his New York Times and then quietly asked if we could have our picture taken with him. He agreed and was very gracious.

Apparently, his wife's parents lived in Blue Ash, Ohio, 10 minutes from our Harper's Point Starbucks.

[CuteBarista!]

so here's an awesome one, finally. yesterday Alec Baldwin came into my store, of all the strange things. i of course didn't recognize him, but he took forever trying to figure out what he wanted and kept letting people go ahead of him. i think he bought a fruit bowl and some coffee finally, and sat catatonically in the cafe for a little while before going out into the street and nearly getting hit by a SEPTA bus. he looked like hell.

[cornfrost]

Ron Howard came in during the week -- he ordered a venti latte and a triple espresso. He had flaming red hair (and a hat on) and sounded just like himself. He was extremely gracious and even gave his signature to one of the girls who asked.

[PETER NGUGI]

Can some one please tell me what happened or is happening to the lives of Vanilla Ice and Ricky Astley.
Thanks in advance.

[BC Eagle]

John Stewart stopped in my store the other week and I did not know who he was so I had asked him for a name on the cup and he looked at me funny and then I asked him if he spelt it the long way and he then really realized that I did not have a clue who he was. Also, Rob Mueller, director of the FBI stopped in and he ordered a venti vanilla chai. Boy, do I feel safe now knowing he drinks such a wussy drink, at least it wasn't a venti soy extra caramel caramel macchiato.

[chrawi]

So.....what did John Stewart order?

[LULU]

WHAT DOES MARY-KATE GET

[Theolaxor]

I work at *$ in Kelowna BC and have seen Mad Child, as well as other swollen members a few times-> theyre a bunch of dumbasses if you ask me, except Moka Only, hes ok...

[Starbuckbons]

We are a downtown location starbucks a block away from our city's entertainment stadium. We've had several celebrities in our store from Alice Cooper to the cast of Corner Gas & Kids in the Hall, The Used (Jeph likes his Iced Venti, no ice, unsweetened, shaken Green Tea) to ice skater John Zimmerman. My favorite though has to be the guys from My Chemical Romance as they always come in every time they are in town.

[james]

i saw Simon Nagel from the band Anything August in Starbucks in Vancouver Canada. i believe he was buying a coffee frapp. it was sawwwweeeeeet

[dko]

i worked at the Starbucks in Oakridge mall in Vancouver and I've served Bif Naked (she gets a venti hazelnut americano), Kristin Kreuk (of smallville)..she had a caramel macchiato and when I was working at the pizza place in Oakridge, I served Jessica Alba and her then hubby from Dark Angel..that was awesome!

[Darleen]

wow, being from NYC I have met and served a lot of stars. Sarah Jessica Parker, Spike Lee, Jon Bon Jovi, Segourney Weaver, Madonna, Chad Lowe and Hillary Swank, Robert Deniro. Kevin Spacey, Peter Gallagher, but the best for me was when Mick Jagger came in, I almost fainted! I am such a huge fan! Got his autograph and a hug!!! Woo-hoo

[chi-town's best/angriest barista]

wayne coyne of the flaming lips.

[GUAMISWAMI]

used to work in wilmington, nc...liked Paul (plays father in One Tree Hill) who adored his triple tall nonfat dry cappuccino and his girlfriend Katherine liked a variety of lattes. now I'm in greensboro, nc and have had Chris Daughtry (American Idol finalist) in my store with his son. I just returned from my honeymoon in the Bahamas and saw Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel there...its in the Atlantis Marina Village! A shout-out to Dion, Andrea and Christian...you guys were the best and we enjoyed Nassau!!

[Shannon]

What does Lauren Graham order???

[Monique]

Ok so i'm a barista in LA state & slauson and Don Bolles from the germs is a regular. He usually gets a venti soy pumpkin spice latte or a venti soy latte. He's very nice and down to earth. Really skinny and lizard-like though

[Bahamas Honeymoon]

I thought I saw the prime minister of the Bahamas in a Starbucks when i was on my Bahamas honeymoon vacation a while back. I can't be sure though. :- )
