Freya is quietly judging you. 07.09.2008 10:11 |
I'm bored, and due to that fact that I'm contantly running into famous people in absurd situations at the moment I thought I'd start a thread so we can all swap our AMAZING stories. Or something. Basically, what I'm saying is, humour me, I'm bored. Yesterday, I saw the actress who plays Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter on the tube. I only realised it was her after bitching about her hair, "That girl has ridiculous hair extensions, why would you do that? Oh wait... That's Luna Lovegood out of Harry Potter. Awesome" A few days ago I saw Craig from Hollyoaks (UK soap) in a club in London where I was seeing a couple of bands. He was actually pretty hot. A bit short though. I snogged Tonks out of Harry Potter once. I saw Baby Spice at Heathrow airport. I've seen the lead singer of Razorlight save a very drunk Noel Fielding's life. I've met Noel Fielding loads of times, he's just everywhere. And he likes to shout things in my ears. In fact, I've met all the Boosh at least once. Then there's Russell Brand, who took a bit of a liking to me, and I went on a journey to his dressing room. Most of the bands that I like actually know me by name, which is nice. And I tried to stick a sticker to Peaches Geldof that said something along the lines of "I bum Noel Fielding" or "I'm a stupid tart" or something. My proudest moment. |

I went to see the Genesis tour dress rehearsal last year in Brussels... I hurried from the airport directly to the venue, and stumbled in through the wrong door. I ended up in the backstage area to watch Phil Collins stretching before the show, and Mike Rutherford getting a bite to eat. I spent half an hour sitting around and waiting for somebody to find me and give me the competition prize I'd won, and had to nick a bottle of water from the crew cafeteria before going to see the actual show. |

meh ive met silvertide. noone really seems to know them. but i sat and chatted with walt lafty for like 2 hours before their show. his guitarist said i looked like his sister. he was super tall. i was 10 feet away from steven tyler at aerosmith 2004. he sang and pointed to me (i was holding a banner). an asshole security guard pushed me down (like....knocked me down!) and steven saw that. as i went back to my seat, he said 'look man, that lil girl was just trying to have some fun. dude, you got problems, you need to get LAID!' it was amazing. then i caught brians towel at queen +PR 2006. according to my mom, brian actually handed it to me, and made sure i had it in my hand. it was all a blur and too awe-striking for me to remember. but i cried. i was so happy. but no, im not important enough nor do i live in an area where i can say ive met anyone famous. |
Holly2003 07.09.2008 10:33 |
There was a time when everywhere I went I seemed to stumble over somebody semi-famous. Alex Higgins in the Crown Bar, Belfast, Sylvester McCoy (Dr Who) in the same bar, Bjork at Heathrow, Alan Hansen in Carnaby Street, London, Pat Jennings in bangor. The only 'famous' people I've ever gone out of my way to see were writers Harry Harrison and Joe Haldeman at a sci-fi conference in Dublin a few years back. |

I met Lindsay Lohan and her mom while I was working on the supermarket. They are from the Long Island town of Merrick NY, and that was way before Lindsay's implants, the coke and the booze parties. The mom had this snobbish cunt attitude, so it doesn't surprise me now how much the press hates her. No wonder why Lindsay is so fucked up when she doesn't even have parents to look up to. Back when I lived in Colombia (and for those familiar with South American soccer) I met all the players of America De Cali at the airport after they lost their 1995 title. They were all nice enough to give me autographs even though they weren't in the best mood. I met the Smashing Pumpkins at an HMV autograph signing in February 2000 before they broke up. Billy Corgan is a fuckin giant. I knew he was tall, but not that tall. Melissa Auf der Maur was their new bass player at the time and she was so incredibly nice. She was concerned about us waiting in the freezing winter cold for hours and hours. I flew all the way to Cleveland to a Muse gig and I was lucky enough to be part of the aftershow meet and greet. Dominic Howard might be the new guy to take Brian May's place as "the nicest guy in rock and roll". He's always willing to sign autographs, take pictures, and talk to fans. Matt Bellamy and Chris are nice as well, but more reserved. I also met the girls from the indie band 'The Like' who were opening for Muse then, and they were absolutely lovely. |

Bah, why am I posting? This is going to be a long list, as I happen to work where a lot of celebrities like to party. We'll take it from 2 nights ago and work backwards: Backstreet Boys plus the other Carter bros, Hinder, Staind, Three Doors Down, Nickelback (puke), Peter Berg, Steve Nash, Lennox Lewis Sting, Billy Duffy (The Cult), The President of Dubai, Aerosmith, Chuck Liddell (try telling him he can't go pour his own drinks), The Tragically Hip, etc. Then there was the 2 years I worked at a movie studio: Angelina Jolie, Edward Burns, Jack Black, Jason Biggs, Steve Zahn, Amanda Peet, Owen Wilson, Eddie Murphy, Cuba Gooding Jr, Jessica Alba, Tom Green, John Heard, Oded Fehr, Michael Rooker, William Forsythe, and bunch more not-so-famous actors and such. |

You earn your money thanks to the people that buys your shit and goes to your gigs, and that without mentioning that his fans are moooostly guitar players, specially shredders. Having such limited public, I don't think you wanna lose the support from those fans. Later on, he returned to the hotel and 2 of my friends were still there. He signed their shit and took a pic with them and he was like OK OK, I WILL DO IT JUST TO MAKE YOU GO AWAY. They waited him for hours IN THE FUCKING SNOW. He didn't even say THANK YOU. My dissapointment was because he always plays to be the funny guy on tv, interviews, clinics and shit. You expect him to be fun and nice because that's how he shows himself. If Malmsteen had been an asshole to me, I wouldn't be surprised because everybody knows he is a cunt. But this guy was supposed to be funny and cool. He turned out to be an ungrateful asshole. Eric Martin, from Mr. Big as well, was all the opposite. The nicest guy you could ever meet. He was funny and cool with us, thanked us for going to the gig. One of my friends gave him a necklace as a gift and Eric wore the necklace during the gig, which is something that wasn't necessary but he showed he really cares for his fans and treats people like people and not like scum, like his old pal Paul Gilbert does. Ritchie Kotzen was very nice too but he was a little shy tho. Cheers, Hor |

He tends to grow on people, I find. I haven't watched the VMAs yet - I've just seen a couple of clips and cringed a bit. I just have a huge soft spot for Russell, he's quite literally made me cry with laughter when ever I've seen him live, and I listen to his radio show every week which makes me laugh like hell too, so I always feel the need to stand up for him. And if anyone's interested, here is a far better example of him - link |

"why are these british douchebags all up in our country. why don?t they have their own award show on the crappy, rainy little island of theirs. what an ugly collection of knotheads that would be.

Fish out of Marrillion called me a fat bastard when I refused to serve him in an Ediburgh bar (circa 1990) He was a bit pished and needed taking down a peg or two. I helped put an inebriated Paul Daniels (magic dwarf from the 80s) into a taxi. Danny Baker (washing powder pest) threatened to kick my head in but backed down quickly enough when I suggested he give it a go. I've also met Alice Cooper, Billy Connolly and the woman who played Nora Batty in 'Last of the Summer Wine' and they were all lovely. fatty. |

Does anyone else have the theory that you meet who you are supposed to meet? Sometimes I think that may be true. About Russell Brand, I finished watching the VMAs on TIVO and I watched all of Russell Brand's segments, and fast forwarded through most of the other stuff. So, I would say that to me, Russell Brand was the best part of the VMAs. I thought he was very good, but the format was not good enough for him. I think the VMAs are kind of dumb, awkward and embarrassing, yet he did well. The ending was really cute with Russell and Britney riding off together - to his dresssing room? Ha. Oh, and the commercials leading up to the VMAs with Russell Brand were very good. |

I'm glad he was well received by some people! There are a few facebook groups being started wishing death on him. Nice! |

Nice!That just show you what a bunch of stupid naive little brats are those Jonas Brothers fangirls. Russell Brand's act was weak, but the Jonas Brothers jokes were dead on target. |

The only famous people I have met are few and far between. And not very famous. I met Liverpool comedian Stan Boardman, I was at school with ex Rangers and Hearts defender Davie McPherson and Ex Rangers and Derby County manager Billy Davies. I probably have met more famous people and just not realised it. |

The best were David Bowie, Prince, Peter Gabriel, Steve Howe (Yes), Steve Hackett (Genesis), Marillion and some more. And Bri + rog, of course! ;-) |
