Bed, Bath, and Beau Geste
Monday, July 2nd, 2007
Well, well, well. According to the “Hollywood Privacy Watch” on Defamer, everyone’s favorite girl boxer, Hilary Swank and her former roommate manservant whipping boy husband were spotting having a mini-reunion in a west Los Angeles Bed, Bath, and Beyond store this past Wednesday.
Spotted Chad Lowe at the West LA “Bed Bath and Beyond” store this afternoon (Wednesday, June27). He was slumming it in jeans, t-shirt, and ball cap, in the small kitchen appliance section of the store. Looked good, but definitely not a Defamer worthy sighting.
I ended up behind him in the check out line, and this is where the story finally becomes interesting. He suddenly jumped out of the line and ran over to a brunette he spotted in the nearby return section. They enjoyed a loooong hug and when they pulled apart, lo and behold, I could it was ex-wife Hilary Swank, looking quite beautiful while dressed down in a white t-shirt and beige jeans.
They spoke and beamed at one another for about a minute before returning to their separate check out lines. They were quite comfortable with one another, and it was a sweet little moment to witness.
I think it is interesting that whomever it was who was stalking the former Mr. Swank Lowe through the store seems to think that this was a “sweet little moment to witness.” He or she doesn’t mention eavesdropping on their conversation (and really, why didn’t he or she tell us what they were buying? Was it kitchen towels? A pepper grinder? Toilet paper holder? Mangroomer? That’s the interesting stuff about celebrities — just like the best part of any episode of Cribs is when we get to see what is in the refrigerator) so how do we know it was really a sweet moment? They could have been smiling and nodding and hugging to keep up appearances, when really they were saying mean shit to each other. Just like my favorite scene in Anchorman, when it is the end of the newscast and the credits are rolling and it looks like Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone are laughing and chatting but really they are saying stuff like You have a dirty, whorish mouth and I’m gonna punch you in the ovary and You’re a real hooker. I’m gonna slap you in public. We really have no idea if this was a “sweet moment” at all.
Or maybe Lowe was giving Swank yet another chance to thank him in public, after famously forgetting to mention him in her acceptance speech for her first Oscar for her role in Boys Don’t Cry. Chad, let it go. Seriously, dude, we’re all on your side.
