前两天New York Post滴一个报道
August 6, 2006 -- There's a certain breed of New York celebrity who's
too cool for uptown, but craves a brownstone block. They seek leafy
streets with the scale of the West Village, but shy away from the
throngs and the spotlight.
Meet fame on the down-low - celebs who live in Brooklyn.
The roster of Hollywood A-listers, music-industry powerhouses,
authors and artisans who reside in the Borough of Kings is top-notch.
Wander over to the Grand Army Plaza subway station in Park Slope and
you might catch Jennifer Connelly looking "beautiful and fragile,
with no makeup on and dressed in jeans, a brown sweater, and
sleeveless green vest," as one fellow Brooklynite described her, as
she takes her eldest son to school weekday mornings.
Over on Atlantic, see Heath Ledger - who, with Michelle Williams, is
raising a daughter, Matilda, in Boerum Hill - ducking into a deli
Sunday morning for bottled water.
Later in the week, Williams may pop by Smith Street lingerie store
Andie Wee while actors Emily Mortimer - spotted having trouble
finding her wallet in Cobble Hill's Pacific Green grocery - and
Alessandro Nivola push a stroller along the sidewalk outside.
Randy Harrison from "Queer as Folk" stops by Starbucks on DUMBO's
Front Street for a java fix. Over in Clinton Hill, Adrian Grenier
hangs out - sans Entourage. Sopranos actor John Ventimiglia - you
know him as chef Artie Bucco - drinks at Boat; Ledger frequents Ceol.
While hardly a new phenomenon - there's always been a diaspora of
celebrities eking out low-profile lives in nearly every part of New
York - Brooklyn has outgrown its edgy, destitute-art-student
reputation of years gone by. It has come into its own as a magnet for
some of the most sought-after talents in the entertainment industry.
These days, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Brownsville still produce some of
the hottest young rap talents and, further west in DUMBO, artists
who've made it, like Mos Def, have set up house. There's even been
rabid rumor-mongering that the king of hip-hop himself, Kanye West,
is on the cusp of moving into the neighborhood.
The borough is a crossroads where Busta Rhymes, who lives in the posh
Gretsch building overlooking the Williamsburg Bridge, may cross paths
with the guys in They Might Be Giants. Actor Rosie Perez, who lives
in Fort Greene and was spotted attending an anti-Ratner rally in
Prospect Park last month, may mix with Park Sloper John Turturro, who
parks his car on Union Street and takes his kids to the park on his
days off.
With celebs running amok doing (gasp) normal things, sightings and
stalkings can seem like a dime a dozen - often times, the stories
reek of bizarre incredulity. After all, seeing an ungroomed celebrity
off-screen is like watching a dog walk on its hind legs.
"Paul Giamatti lives in Brooklyn Heights," says one gawker. "Last
Halloween he painted his face like a lion and cruised around with his
son. They're always at the playground in DUMBO or on Montague Street.
I saw him and his wife a few weeks ago swimming at the YMCA on Court
Street. Their kid was obsessed with some rubber ducks in the pool."
The cult of Brooklyn, and the particular brand of Brooklyn pride that
undeniably trumps any other borough allegiance, has even spawned a
book project, "The Brooklynites," by photographer Seth Kushner and
writer Anthony LaSala, to be published by powerHouse Books in 2007.
Featuring the stories of Brooklyn-devotees like Turturro, Perez,
Steve Buscemi, Ventimiglia, Rick Moody, Paul Auster and Hasidic
rapper Matisyahu, the book is a compendium of intimate memories,
local stories and portraits of Brooklynites shot at personally
meaningful locations.
"I shot Buscemi in front of the church he went to as a child,"
Kushner says. "It all was going well and then something really
interesting happened. While we were talking in front of the building
[where] he once resided, the man who currently lived in his old
apartment stuck his head out of the window. Steve yelled up to him
that he used to live there and asked if it would be all right if we
came up and took a look around.
"Steve gave us a quick tour of the small apartment, showing us where
his bed was, the window where his mother would call him up for
dinner, the skylight where his father would climb through when he
forgot his keys, and the corner of the kitchen where he would perform
for his family - the actual place where he did his first acting,"
LaSala says.
Which could be the same kind of memories Matilda Ledger will have
when she grows up. Except hers will go more like this: "And this is
the caf?dad would duck into every time the paparazzi showed up." |
