Meeting famous people

[Jason]

I took DJ Ironik onto the red carpet at the Fast and Furious 4 premiere.

Copied from last thread:

 

I've had a drink with Stirling Moss in France(I was talking to him for about 15 mins before I realised who he was)

 

I know Jeremy Clarksons wife reasonably well as we do the same European endurance driving run every year.

 

I sat next to Eric Cantona on a flight to the states once(found out he is a complete n0b head)

 

I've had dinner with a few of the Blue Peter presenters when I was younger on holiday.

 

Then there's been a few of the 'bumping into' celebrities over time but never really had that much of a chat with them.

[Mike]

I've seen Zane Lowe a few times around London town at gigs and that. I saw him at Glasto too.. at the VIP bar.

 

I saw that Alexa Chung at Glasto too

 

I didn't 'meet' either of them. Am I in the right thread?

I know most of the Everton team reasonably well, due to my Uncle having played for them in the 60's and still having an interest in the club (not overtly).

 

Live pretty close to Jamie Carragher who I regularly give the middle finger too (and he gives it back).

 

That's it really.

I see Brian May and Brian Blessed fairly often as they live near me. That's a whole lot of hair they have between them!

 

Gary Lineker, Nick Faldo & Chris Evans often make an appearance in the local Waitrose too. Nick Faldo is a unit .. he's huge!!

 

But for extra random .. does anyone remember a computer games TV show from the mid-90's (I think) called "BITZ"? It was presented by 3 girls (2 English, 1 American) .. well one of those girls sits about 10 yards from me at work

 

Also saw Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe a couple of times when they were here.

 

Cheers, J

No - can I redirect you to the 'name dropping' thread?

Since Aleks is the new big thing at the Beeb, and Bouff is some sort of pronstar, it must be the lovely Newton-Dunne?

Indeed it is

Best claim to fame was 2 months ago. Shared a few smokes with Snoop Dogg and his crew/minders when he was taking a break from recording in my mates studio. Very cool & funny guy but was completely stoned the entire day. Also got to hear a couple of his tunes that won't be out until next year. They're not very good though, bring back the 90's style I say

I'd imagine after a few smokes he was quite happy to meet "Homer" , lol .

I bumped into (not physically sadly) Linda Lusardi at the hotel bar when on an all-inclusive holiday in the Costa Del Sol.

 

Being 15 years old at the time I could hardly believe my luck. That soon changed when I had to explain to my parents why I knew who Linda Lusardi was

[drift_bear]

thanks to my job in security ive met, dave pearce, judge jules and tim westwood (they are all kn0bs though and didnt have much banter with anyone part from the women). most recently (about a 3 weeks ago) i meet the big show and kane, they are HUGE!! i felt rather intimidated, had a chat with them and they are really nice guys, also met billy connely walking through the bon accord centre in aberdeen.

I saw Marti Pellow in Dublin airport last year. He was walking past, and one of my mates shouted 'Marti Pellow's an arsehole'

 

Topped the weekend off nicely.

I'd like to suggest that your shouty friend was indeed Japanese and he was welcoming Mr Pellow into the country in the usual manner of offering him some deodorant.

 

"...Marti Pellow San? Aerosol?"

 

Yes. I would like to suggest that very much, but I think I'll keep it to myself.

Ron Jeremy was in town to promote a cd I was involved in. He did a stand up show in a club in Soho, it was dreadful. He should stick to doing what he does best. I know my way around the club quite well as I have DJed there a lot in the past, so after the show I made my way to the dressing room round the back, cos I knew that was where the fun would be. And so it was, with several strippers & porn stars, me, Ron Jeremy and Ben Dover and a few others. Now THAT was what I call a party

Cool, now that sounds good

I spent some of the weekend sharing a smoke and a chat with an ex-member of Hawkwind. Good bloke (and some good smoke, too )

[jackso11]

Saw Melinda Messenger in Sainsbury's the other day

 

Did you flash her? I think that the first thing I would think of doing.

[SupraStar 3000]

didn't one of the old Hollyoaks cast have a Supra and was a member here.

 

I remember Rosie telling us all about it.

Wrong thread

 

The one you're looking for is just under the seat (around this thread)

Yeah that rings a bell.

 

GreenSupra (I think that was his username) used to work in the TV biz and had his car featured in some program.

 

Also, legendary Super Mod Rob Oldham is a Top Gear celebrity.

Mod on here? I have not seen that name before?

He's stealthy, like a ninja.
