Love is a many-splendored thing, especially when youre gawking at it from the outside.
Yet we Hugh-heads have been blessed with all kinds of interesting news lately.
A girlfriend of mine called me and was like, Hugh Grant is at Pierres.

I said, Ill be right over.
I called and said, Get the table right next to Hugh Grant.
He knows who I am because I know Andy [Cohen].
I go, Im so sorry.
Can I buy you a shot?
He goes, Okay, but Ill come have a shot with you if you do one with me.
Before you know it, we are taking shots and making out…heavilyat the table!
I dont recall shots or kissing, but her memory might be better than mine.
De Lesseps, of course, thenpromptly toldUs Weekly: Obviously, my memory is better than his!
Hes right, it was 15 years ago.
We were both not married at the time.
I had just divorced Alex [de Lesseps].
He was ever so charming and couldnt have been nicer.
I genuinely cant decide which is the most iconic detail of this recollection.
Is it de Lessepss race to Pierres to make it put herself in Grants path?
Is it the thought of the two very different stars doing shots together?
Is it Grants gentlemanly response and turbo-British use of the phrase Steady on?
