Star spotting
You see a lot of 'celebrities' round London, but not often travelling by tube.
Jonathan Ross has just had the actress Alicia Witt on his Saturday morning R2 show, which reminded me that I saw her on the tube a few days ago. I didn't recognise her at first, but noticed her and her boyfriend as being a rather good-looking couple.
They were clearly not British (actually a lot of people on the tube aren't British...*g*) and I guessed American. Was gratified when I was able to hear them speak when we reached the next station that my guess was right. Then I thought to myself that they both looked vaguely familiar...
I couldn't remember her name, just that she'd played the daughter in Cybill, and it wasn't until I heard the same voice on the radio this morning that I twigged who she is. She's doing a play in the West End at present, hence presumably why she's travelling like a native, rather than swanning around in a limo. I like that in a person ;)
Anyway, for the record sans movie-star make-up and hair etc she is very pretty, but not gobsmackingly beautiful. Ditto the boyfriend, who also looks vaguely familiar - like a young American TV star, but I don't know which one. Good looking bloke, definitely someone you'd notice but not someone you'd stop in the street to stare at.

In other news, because I'm not only inanely pointless but also bored, was her boyfriend this guy?

No, the bloke on the tube looked pretty much 100% white. Man in the picture looks nice, though. Is he one of her exes?

I can only imagine the confused early-in-the-morning Speedo. If it's any consolation, 'subway' in Britain means an underground system that you walk around.

But really, I would say she was perfectly cast, what with being a child genius etc.
