I saw a celebrity this weekend, although it’s not the kind of celebrity sighting that ends up on TMZ or Access Hollywood. In fact, this celeb is from (gasp!) New Jersey. Yes, I saw Newark Mayor Cory Booker at my local smoothie shop on 72nd Street near Columbus. The very tall low-key mayor was seeing friends in the neighborhood, he said. I can’t say I know much about Newark politics, but the guy does seem to give a damn: he lived in the projects while he was on the city council. Imagine Mayor Mike living in the projects! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Cough, cough. Sorry I choked a little on my smoothie.
