Reality TV? No…Reality.

We check into the Desert Sun’s (Palm Spring, CA) website once in a while to check out Darrell Smith’s Star Gazing column and are never disappointed– more often than not, we’re rewarded with the most bizarre and eclectic collection of “celebrity spots” to be found anywhere:

The stars were rockin’ at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, but they weren’t the only celebrities in town. Over at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino’s Fantasy Lounge, the place was packed for comic impressionist Scott Record. In the audience for Record’s set was a star-studded roster including golf legend Jack Nicklaus; actor William Devane (24, Knots Landing); former Dallas Cowboys great, Monday Night Football commentator and pitchman Don Meredith; TV personality and game show host Peter Marshall; funnyman Shecky Greene; and stage and screen actor Hal Linden.

Looks like we missed comic and actor Andy Dick at Coachella, too. The comic made an incident-free return to the festival after his 2004 festival run-in with local authorities in which the television comedian was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge. His case was later dismissed by the court.

Of course, our desire to hang out in “the Springs” (as Alf usta refer to it) is fueled by the chance that we might spot the Greene one.
