Aasif Mandvi Can Hear the Celebrities SingingLast night at the Hugo Boss’s “Boss Black” fashion show at the Cunar building, publicists and velvet ropes held us back from super-famous celebrities like Julianne Moore and Kate Winslet. “We’re actually on our way out,” said Kristin Davis’s publicist when we tried to corner her for more SATC spoilers. “My feet are screaming at me,” she said apologetically. “They need to be amputated.” Okay, ew. Moving on. Speaking of giant celebrities, what does Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi think about tabloid stars like Lindsay Lohan and possibly Jennifer Aniston moving to New York? “I think they’re coming here because it makes them look smarter,” he said. But, we said, having so much star wattage might change the city, no? Mandvi agreed. “I think there’s going to be like a hum in the air. It’s going to be like a choir that hangs over the city at all times. Aaaa aaaaa aaaaa aaaaa wherever they go. It could get annoying after a while.” We suppose it could. So, did Mandvi ever meet Brangelina? Because we figure all famous and famous-ish people must know each other, if only tangentially. And we were right sort of. “I’ve met them,” he nodded. “They’re really nice. They’re just normal people.” Really? How did he meet them? “Well,” he said. “I was walking and they were talking to reporters and I walked past them.” He looked at us expectantly. Wait: That’s it? How did he know they were normal? “They were talking to reporters, just like everybody else.” —Amy Odell
