Trash-Trollers

Post by Touchstone »

The garbage of celebs who live in Greenwich Village is being sifted through by creepy trash-trollers who want to bare their secrets.

One recent victim is Mary-Louise Parker, the sexy star of Showtime's "Weeds," who lives in a luxury apartment building overlooking Washington Square Park.

Someone who claims to have sifted through the actress' refuse and included photocopies of Parker's drug prescription receipts from Bigelow Pharmacy on Sixth Avenue.

They show that last year she shelled out a $20 insurance co-payment for a supply of 30 tablets of a medication that's commonly used to treat low-thyroid function and prevent goiters. It was prescribed by a Manhattan internist.

Other celebrities who live on some of the Village's best blocks are even more vulnerable than Parker because they have private townhouses and place their trash in cans easily accessible to passers-by. They include Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, Liv Tyler, Charlie Rose and Graydon Carter.

Fishing through the garbage of movers and shakers is nothing new. In the 1960s, Yippie writer A.J. Weberman became notorious for sifting through the trash of Bob Dylan, Norman Mailer and Richard Nixon. Weberman, who claimed studying refuse was a research tool, even penned a book called "My Life in Garbology."

Off to buy myself a paper shredder!
I don't want to press "1" for English. This is America!
