people in LA I have walked into while reading a newspaper
1) Britney Spears: this was on Vermont between Hollywood and Los Feliz very shortly after she birthed one of her kids, before she shaved her head. I bet she was going to Dragonfly, the popular baby boutique. She was wearing a Steelers jersey and sunglasses and for a block and a half afterwards I was all “WHERE do I know that girl from?”
2) Guy with no legs who polishes the stars at Hollywood & Vine: it’s a unique schtick, respect, but okay dude was seriously flat on the ground on one of the only heavily trafficked sidewalks in LA
