• Whoa! Point Break sequel in the works

  Looks like the legions of cinephiles clamoring for a sequel to the Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze surfer crime thriller Point Break will finally get their wish. Variety reports that Point Break co-writer Peter Iliff will write and direct Point Break 2.

  The long-awaited follow-up, set 20 years after the events depicted in the first film, will chronicle the efforts of a a surfer/Navy SEAL to track down a criminal gang in Southeast Asia.

  According to Variety, producers are searching for "a young male action star at the same stage in his career as Keanu was."

  Good luck. I don't envy the unfortunate casting director faced with the herculean task of finding an actor able to match Reeves's legendary depth and range.

  Maybe DiCaprio is available.

• Starwatching

  As part of my job, I get to interview celebrities. It's a dirty job, all right, but someone's got to do it. But what I found most shocking was when I started seeing them elsewhere.

  So who have I seen so far?

  Morgan Freeman in the elevator of the Four Seasons, preparing to golf.

  Keanu Reeves waiting for the valet to bring his car at the Four Seasons. I used to stage manage for his sister in college, but I resisted the urge to tell him to tell her I said hello.

  My husband saw Jake Gyllenhaal in his car in my office parking lot. And he saw Giovanni Ribisi getting coffee in Larchmont Village and Ryan Gosling walking downtown.

  Kari Wuhrer with her husband and two VERY cute kids at table next to us at a restaurant in Larchmont. Remember her from Remote Control?

  Alex Kingston (aka Dr. Elizabeth Corday from ER) having Valentine's Day dinner at the same hip restaurant as me.

  Bradley Cooper (Alias) and Jennifer Esposito (Crash) taking in a show at the awesome DeafWest theater in Noho.

  Katherine Helmond(Mona from Who's the Boss) at Suzan Lori-Parks' 365 festival.
