The great and still gorgeous Michelle Pfeiffer stopped into Bi-Rite Market on New Year’s Eve for a few celebratory items, according to owner Sam Mogannam. No word on what sort of bubbly the actress prefers. (Also, FYI, she’s currently starring in New Year’s Eve, the movie.) [Twitter via Tablehopper]

Actor and former Monty Pythonian John Cleese had breakfast at Trace whilst staying at the W Hotel. He’s reportedly gluten-averse and chose an omelet with maitake mushroom, melted leeks, and Gruyère. [Tablehopper]

Speaking of Portlandia, creators and stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, in town recently on their Portlandia tour, dined at Bar Tartine last Thursday.

And last but not least, Benjamin Flajnik, the Sonoma winemaker who was on The Bachelorette and is now taking his turn as the The Bachelor, was recently spotted having a lunch meeting with a local PR firm at Cotogna. [Tablehopper]
