ם The Brandon Bonfiglio Edition
Brandon Bonfiglio is a dear, dear friend of mine. He also produces music videos. Last night, he won a MTV VMA for Video of the Year! Congrats, Brandon!
More importantly: I get to play with a moonman!
But that’s not where the fun ends with Brandon. He’s been in New York all week because of the VMAs (he lives in LA), so we’ve been hanging out. Note, however, that Brandon looks eerily like Ryan Reynolds, star of flops cinematic gold such as Van Wilder, Blade: Trinity, The Amityville Horror, and Just Friends.
Don’t believe me? See for yourself:
Brandon Bonfiglio, Ryan Reynolds.
Brandon Bonfiglio, Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds, Brandon Bonfiglio.
Well, Tuesday night, after a nice dinner of “N3″ at a Burmese restaurant, we were at Doc Holiday’s, a bar in the East Village. While we were standing outside, a thoroughly inebriated 20-something girl with a thick accent recognized my dear friend Ryan Reynolds. She kept trying to take pictures of him, but Brandon kept deferring her to his “manager” to get permission. His “manager” just happened to be a bearded homeless man who was asking for change when she spotted him. Hilarity ensued, and she eventually left angry but pictureless. Apparently just another night for Brandon, who this happens to often.
Now, this would be all fine and well if it ended there. But today, while cruising Gawker, I saw that somebody had Gawker Stalker-ed Ryan Reynolds.

I saw Ryan Reynolds (dee-lish) in the SoHo Apple store. God is he tall and handsome, is he still engaged?
I immediately texted Brandon to find out where he was yesterday at 3pm, and sure as shit, he was at the SoHo Apple store. Fantastic.
So, just a note to you, Gawker, “tall and handsome” actor Ryan Reynolds wasn’t at the Apple store yesterday, it was “tall and handsome” VMA winning producer Brandon Bonfiglio.
