Celebrities and such

■ Stanley Tucci ( “First Night”) walks by our front-row seat as we wait to watch “ The Mudge Boy ,” a movie that he executive-produced.

■ One after the other, our friends spot Katie Holmes, Robert Downey Jr. and Dustin Hoffman, Holly Hunter, Carla Gugino, Roger Ebert.

■ Walking to a block party that is being held on south Main Street, we see Tilda Swinton (“Adaptation”). Swinton first came to fame in this country by playing an androgynous character in “Orlando.” The screen does strange things; in person, there is nothing remotely androgynous about Tilda Swinton.
