I've been invited to a celebrity party in London next month so it's got me thinking, what celebs and famous people have you met? Ever tried to chat any of them up? ;) Myself, I had dinner with John Hurt once, I've slept with a member of parliament and the now Deputy Prime Minister once bought me a beer :P |

I've met/talked to/played bass with/got asked to go on a course by Herbie Flowers :D he was the bassist in T-Rex for a while, has worked with a lot of cool music artists. Look on the back of lou reed's transformer album :-) or some old david bowie albums, lots of different artists |

fair few: Sang with Prunella Scales AKA Cybil Fawlty of Fawlty Towers fame, back in the day when I could still sing in key :) Met her husband too (forget his name) famous English classical actor. Met Cerys from Catatonia and chatted to her for ages. Told Tim Wheeler from Ash to fuck off (met the whole band apart from Charlotte) as I didn't recognise him at first and thought he was pushing in the queue at a festival. Got a mate who new (and played with) them to apologise on my behalf a couple of years later :) Met Neil Hammond from Divine Comedy. DJ and bassplayer from Public Enemy. I've seen a lot of other famous people in the flesh offstage, but unless: a) I personally like them (I won't talk to famous people just because they're famous) b) There aren't millions of fanboys about. c) They don't look busy/in a rush at all. I leave them alone. I also won't interrupt a conversation they're having with a mate either, hence why I didn't chat to afx/snares at atp. I didn't bother talking to mira calix as she loooked a bit drunk and stressed out so I left her alone. |

Now I think about it, I've also walked into two celebs while daydreaming. First was Sue Pollard (nasty), second was Tracy Shaw (kinda nice). |

"Tracy Shaw (kinda nice)" i might go and see the blue rroom when it comes to town. |

More things I recall. My mom knows obscure cartoonist/after-dinner-speaker Bill Tidy. She once cooked dinner for the President of Ireland too. My dad was mates with the actor Robert Lindsay. |

Leeroy the ex dancer out of the Prodigy, Method Man of the Wu-Tang, Prince Naseem Hamed and Barry Hearn, Tim Westwood and Denise out of Coronation St. I've met a few others as well but they are the ones that come to mind. |

the only celebrity y'all would know who i've met (actually talked to) in person is moby. meeting celebrities is not something that interests me at all; i don't go to in-store appearances, i don't hang around concerts hoping the band talks to fans, i don't watch movies as they're filmed on-location, etc. now, if someone i found interesting walked right past me and weren't busy i would definitely stop them. there're lots of people i'd like to meet. i've had some fun over the last 2 years talking via email with some of the recording artists i really admire, but on the other hand i have email addresses of musicians who i have no interest in talking with. i'm sure most of us would agree talking with celebs for the sake of talking with celebs is pretty empty..... end rant. ;) |

ecnadniarb, what was meth like? i heard rza is real cool in person. wu-tang seem down to earth. theo, harvey keitel? what was the story behind that one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He is a scary bloke. I never realised he was so tall until I met him in person. He was quite cool but it was obvious he was in a rush to get somewhere and me trying to scav a spare ciggie off him wasn't exactly what he was expecting. :D |
||||||||

i met hecate and got my picture taken with her, talked to her for abit she's really cool |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i'm kind of on the same stance as tits, some times i ignore celebreties if i don't have any interest in them (jason schwartzmen) i'd rather shake someones hand than get an autograph... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, and i met the bass player from less than jake (ska band, pretty popular), he signed the 7" i got from the show that was years ago though, probably 97 |
||||||||

|

hehe...too many.... A lot that would probably drop a few jaws around here...(and don't even ask...)... (fuck...that sound more wanky than namedropping itself.....sorry...).. |

A few people I have had at least one conversation with in person: Robert DeNiro Bette Midler Steve Martin Warren Beatty Jeff Bridges Sarah Jessica Parker Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer, now THAT rocks) the retard from Gilbert Grape |
||||||||

not to brag or anything, but one time jim belushi beat the shit out of me.. |

titsworth: both of them I worked with, so we talked about a number of different things. Just BS... no heavy discussions ;) |

I met Bret Hart at a WWF event many, many years ago. And the singer from Great Big Sea. If you're Canadian, you know who I'm talking about. Famous people are boring... just like normal people. |

i also bumped into thom yorke as he left the oxfam store in oxford back in 1999. that was strange. he gave me the stink-eye. |

Quite a few, actually. I have even been asked out by someone who has been on the cover of Rollling Stone, and by one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" (1997 or 8), and a couple "big name" techno guys. And I've encountered tons more techno producers/DJs and celebs. Hope I don't sound obnoxious here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think what's coolest about DJs/producers is that a huge chunk of them aren't famous to the point of being untouchable...keeps them closer to the people who actually listen |

i sat in a hot tub with my state's senator once at a health club. i didn't know it was him at the time because i didnt have my glasses on though. |
