Citi-biked over to Times Square yesterday to meet cousin Kelli
and jump on the TMZ tour bus..!

TMZ host… Mat. We had a great time, but Kelli was the most famous person any of us saw on the tour..!
She even got to show off a photo of her with Robert DeNiro, Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas
in the not-yet-released movie “Last Vegas.”
No one asked her for an autograph, but she didn’t let me tell the whole David Letterman story…. “Pot of Gold…!!”

Later, Citi-biked over to Central Park South to meet up with more cousins…
