TOM SKERRITT

The Madison Park resident and star of more than 200 TV episodes and counting was spotted in DC with Obama’s drug czar—and former Seattle police chief—Gil Kerlikowske. The czar wanted to know what substance could possibly keep the 77-year-old actor going.

MARIA GOODLOE-JOHNSON

The ousted Seattle schools superintendent left a gracious goodbye comment on the Save Seattle Schools blog, which had been critical of her performance. Her comments on the I Just Got a Huge Severance Check, Suckers blog were pretty interesting, too.

The sex-advice columnist is filming a pilot for MTV, and his “It Gets Better” campaign has been turned into a book, the title of which refers to gay acceptance—not just Savage’s career.

KRIS BRANNON

The Tacoma resident filed an initiative to declare a Sir Mix-a-Lot tune the state’s official song. Not yet filed: an initiative to declare Kris Brannon the state’s official filer of frivolous initiatives.

SHOMARI STONE

The KOMO TV reporter broke up a fistfight in Steinbrueck Park—on camera. Next on KOMO: “Is Shomari Stone Phoenix Jones?”
