Venice is where I asked Gwyneth Paltrow to lunch. Very fond memories of that city, but last time there was 99. I've heard it's become overcrowded with tourists.

I think I've told this before on here, but I was walking around Venice with some friends. We saw a group of American college girls being giddy and giggling. We looked over and saw Gwyneth and a friend. So we went over and got some pictures with her. Later that day, while walking around, we ran in to them again. One of my friends jokingly said "we should see if they want to eat with us". I was young and dumb and figured what the hell, so I walked up to her, she recognized me and said hello, and I asked if her and her friend would like to join us for lunch. She politely declined and we parted ways. I think she was there filming the Talented Mr. Ripley?

I'd say this is pretty accurate.
