"Baby there's no other superstar you know that I'll be... ♫ "

Michelle Pfeiffer sightings are so rare these days that I have to share them every time (the last big day out was the White House Correspondents dinner in May of last year). Here she is at the Lady Gaga concert at Madison Square Garden yesterday. (I'm guessing she was on her way out because she's totally smiling and Gaga concerts are fun.) Which means she was right here in NYC last night. Wheeee.

They filmed that particular concert for HBO. She and David E Kelley were taking their kids Claudia Rose and John Henry who are now 17 and 16 respectively. This is all an effort to make me feel old since I still remember the first photo I ever saw of Claudia Rose, her daughter, (who turns 18 very shortly), which happens to be my favorite paparazzi photo of Michelle  since she looked ridiculously happy. I'm sure she didn't like the intrusion of the cameras though since Pfeiffer is not a Fame Monster. She once told Rolling Stone.

I act for free, but I demand a huge salary as compensation for all the annoyance of being a public personality. In that sense, I earn every dime I make.

What does Pfeiffer make of Lady Gaga and her ilk, the celebrities who LIVE for their own celebrity? Different times. Different breeds of stars. When Lady Gaga was born (1986), Michelle was probably filming The Witches of Eastwick! Bye Jack. Now Gaga is the horned one.

What do you suppose La Pfeiff's favorite Gaga song is?

Nothing turns me off more than celebrities complaining about being famous.

Still love you, LaPfeiffer.

I think I know the paparazzi photo you're referring to. From distant (somewhat foggy) memory, she's in the park with her arms outstretched and her mouth wide open as if she's excitedly calling Claudia to run towards her (or maybe playfully chasing her, I suppose). Claudia's a few paces away with her back to the camera.

I ask mostly because that's one of my favorite photos of Michelle Pfeiffer too. And I have a ridiculous number of favorite photos of Michelle Pfeiffer.

Her favorite Gaga son got to be Speechless... or so I would like to think...

I'm with Will

Wait, is that the way that Michelle looks when she's just walking down the street, AND after having attended a concert? She looks better than any old made up movie star. Pure gorgeousness.

@Will, in Pfeiffer case, I think it's a genuine sentiment.

Oh, it's 'Poker face'.

I'd like to think her favorite song is "Teeth"... I could see her strutting down a hallway to that song if she plays another villainess some time soon.

Paparazzi, of course.

I second Will.

Ans yes, all of you Hollywood people are criminally overpaid.
