Bookstores: The new "it" spot

Forget Yorkville's snobbery. The best place for celebrity sightings is the local Chapters and/or Indigo bookstore. Last month, we saw Anthony Kiedis and Tommy Lee at the Chapters at John and Richmond for their promotional book tours. This week, the Indigo at Yonge and Eglinton is hosting two of my favourite male celebrities: Kyan Douglas (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) on Tuesday at 7 p.m., and Anthony Bourdain of the Food Network's A Cook's Tour on Friday at noon.

Bourdain is by far, my favourite Food Network personality and he's a great writer. Both his non-fiction works: Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour (which the show is based on and also written about in the book) are funny, well-written, often vulgar and interesting — especially if you love worldly food like I do. Bourdain, the man, is probably an arrogant asshole that would drive me crazy in "real life," but like I wrote about Christie Blatchford, he's kind of sexy, with his smoking and fuck-this-shit attitude. Maybe it's just a persona, but it's kind of hot, y'know, for an old guy. I'm just sayin' is all.

I agree with you entirely foxy, must make me a FREAK too....but, bourdain is a badass, and his smokin' and swearin' add heaps of appeal to his "monkeybraineatin" show......
