always interesting to hear stories of people with celebrities.
Nearly everyone has a story like that, what's yours?


When I was seven, I met our Bundespräsident (head of state, like your Queen....ish) Richard von Weizsäcker. He gave a speech at our city and my grandma took me to the stage to shake his hand (didnt want to, lol)
best one so far...


what about you?

In no particular order ...

Pat Jennings (Ex Arsenal and N Ireland goalkeeper) at Buckingham Palace ... received his OBE the same day my dad was awarded his MBE near enough 30 years ago.

Noddy Holder from Slade in the Tesco that I used to use near Macclesfield.

Morten Harkett (of A-Ha fame) spilt my pint in Harrogate at the "height" of their fame.

There are others "famous" people that I've met that I admire for what they have achieved in their lives but they're not really celebrities as such.

Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards once came into a shop I was working in and tried to get some freebies because he was 'famous' - bearing in mind this was the mid-nineties and he hadn't been even remotely famous for years..

And I once saw Dame Norma Major two checkouts over from me in Tesco in Huntingdon, which is the nearest large-ish town to where she lives just up the road from me.

My hubby once worked with Jeff Banks too..

A few years ago we went to Malta on holiday and Status Quo were doing a concert on the island while we were there. The band were staying at the same hotel as us and they stayed for a few days to have a break in the sun with their families.

It was very funny to see Francis Rossi swimming lengths of the pool wearing a swimming cap to protect his hair! And Rick Parfitt was parading about in tiny leopardskin trunks.

I didn't see anyone bothering them. In fact we seemed to be the only ones who approached them to ask if we could take a photo. They were very nice and friendly. I'm not going to post the photos though to spare you all the sight of Francis in swimming cap, Rick in leapordskin trunks and me in bikini :lol:

I used to work for the company that was running Real Estate Expos all over the country.

They booked him for 3 appearances each 1/2 hour each one million dollars...and now you know how to make money too...

So...we were working Expo...he was working it too...sort of...he is ok guy...actually we did take time to listen to his 1/2 hour lecture...it was very decent and not at all boring as those things can be...

I actually like him...

Kris Marshall was in a play called Treats with Billie Piper and it happened to come to my little Malvern town and being the stage door is as easy to find as your own house then it was easy for me to meet him though he was bloody tall :shock::shock::shock::shock: !! I felt miniscual !

He was very nice.

Robert Powell was the worst celebrity I've had the misfortune to meet, he was very rude and just did not seem to care.

Meat Loaf !!!!!

Then in no particular order an assortment of people I saw whilst working in a shop in Brum: -
Liam or Noel Gallagher- you can tell I’m not a fan!
Cliff Richard – had middle-aged women queuing around the block!
Fenella Fielding- Carry On films
Eric Richard- Sergeant Cryer The Bill
Matt Lucas- Before Little Britain – he wasn’t very pleasant!
Beverley Callard- promoting her exercise video & no one turned up!
Roger Cook – journalist / TV Cook Report – a bit scary


My husband’s claim to fame are:-

Cliff Richard – he shared a lift with him
Chris Tarrant
David Soul

I’m sure there are more but I can’t remember them at the moment, as you can tell they’re not exactly Hollywood standard!

Gerry Adams came into the ladbrokes shop where I was managing canvassing in the Irish general election before last. Suffice to say he wasn't in there long when the loveable drunk, who didn't cause any trouble but talked a lot, looked at him and said 'I know you from somewhere':D

My Dad was sat on a plane next to Posh Spice and said she was really nice. This would've been about 6 years ago

I know I will forget someone, but:

Outside of Meat and Todd, etc., (NY Listening Party):

The celebrities I've met have come from my current job at a Jewish non-profit in Manhattan, or during my opera/classical muisic days, with a couple of miscellaneous:

Met via work:
Former Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu - mega-charmer with the ladies; can work a room as well as Clinton does; one of the best speakers I've ever heard.
Former CIA Chief W. James Woolsey - very nice fellow and wanted to speak to everyone he met. He filmed his speech for the organization in our Exec's office, and we had a mini-reception for him afterwards.
US Congress Representatives Anthony Weiner - NY, and Jim Saxton - NJ - two gung-ho hard workers in Congress; Saxton one of the nicest guys you'll meet.
Best of all - frequent contact with Ed Ames - the lead singer for the 50's group The Ames Brothers, and played the Indian in the 50's-60's US TV series Daniel Boone. Very tall (6'4), distinguished fellow who's real nice, voice still great at age late 70's; very passionate about his interests.

Met at the Metropolitan Opera, NY:
Marilyn Horne - grand gal; very down to earth; full of humor
Luciano Pavarotti - very friendly, like a puppy, and a wicked, constant flirt!
Placido Domingo - met a long time ago - very nice, a bit shy then
Tony Randall - actor/opera fanatic - friendly; knew everyone it seemed.

Met at Tanglewood summer concert theatre of the Boston Symphony Orchestra - Leonard Bernstein - long time ago; intense, sensitive to all around him; constantly talking to anyone/someone.

Met in Boston at Boston Opera theatre, then at the Metropolitan Opera and Philadelphia Lyric at the Academy of Music:
Dame Joan Sutherland - Great lady; has wonderful humor with the Australian touch; would always admit regular fans: showed she felt comfortable with repeated visits from fans she knew.
At this Boston Opera theatre, saw Jacqueline Kennedy go by on her way to the dressing rooms - was close enough to touch - very beautiful, very slight polite smile as she was escorted past us.

Met at lecture in Manhattan:
The late Bishop Paul Moore - leader of the Episcopal Church of NY - fantastic speaker; fabulous person to meet. Interested in everyone. Bishop Moore was very well known here in NY and in the Episcopal church.

Met in Off-Broadway theatre:
William Atherton - was Walter Peck in Ghostbusters. Played a scumbag in the play I saw him perform - but real nice to talk to.

They joked around and talked wish my camera didn't mess up and I had a marker to get they're autographs. I only wished Mushroomhead would have not went back to there bus and would have hung out with all of us at the club that night.

Cliff Richard – had middle-aged women queuing around the block!

That reminds me... Terry Pratchett, on four separate occasions at books signings, plus Ian Stewart and Jack S Cohen who co-wrote The Science of Discworld books with him.

Cliff Richard – he shared a lift with him


My mate Lynda (who came to Wembley)'s claim to fame is that she's friends with Melvin Hayes (from It Ain't Half Hot Mum) who lives in the next village, and whilst waving to him across our local Waitrose car park, she nearly ran over Cliff Richard, (he's also friends with Melvin and had come to visit) who apparently had stepped off the pavement directly into her car, and she says he had very bad language for a man of God!!!

Nah, too easy, and btw, met John Kelly last sunday :p And I have to admit.....I quite like his music (:oops:)

Gottschalk?????? tell tell tell!!!

Ok, I really can´t stand John´s music, but I quite like Joey´s and Angelo´s (man, he can rock!!!)

They did "Wetten dass..?" in Bremerhaven a few years ago. The Saalwette (you can see how long ago it was, because it was a Saalwette back then, no Stadtwette like they´re doing now) was something about employees of the company my dad works for so we drove to our Stadthalle and we, amongst about 50 others, were asked to go on stage to do the Saalwette.

Hmm who have I met...Let me see...

Meat Loaf!!!! Wohoo :-)
Kasim...yum yum
John...what a smile
Patti....she´s my big idol!
CC...she is so friendly!

All the members of a Scottish band called Runrig and the Scottish band Wolfstone.
Jimmy from the Kelly family (I wish it was Paddy though :-))
Allison Crowe (A really talented Canadian singer/songwriter)
Some famous Danish musicians, actors etc.
Mads Mikkelsen (Danish actor who is in the James Bond movie casino royal)

I think thats it - not very many I know :-)
The biggest experience for me was definately meeting Meat Loaf, Patti and Kasim! I hope to meet Kasim and Todd Rundgren in November when they come to Denmark. That could be very cool!

Cheers Sarah

Ha you can have it! I do my last shift tomorrow! :-p

I'm an usher at the moment at the Old Vic Theatre and he's the artistic director. I don't usually see him so much but a new play has just started at the theatre so he's in alot at the moment.

Also Jessica Hynes, Stephen Mangan and Ben Miles are in it (i'm a big fan of all three) so i suppose they can be added onto my celeb list. :D My life is going to seem so boring once I leave london :(!

:D Yeah i love them both too! Especially Green Wing. See when i first moved down to London my friends made me watch Green Wing as I had never seen it before; I absolutely fell in love with it! So when i found out my favourite person in it was going to be in the new show I had to stay down here till i had seen it! Stephen is brilliant, he does the funniest warming up thing as well. He runs around the theatre before doors open then returns to the stage and acts like a monkey. Always amusing to watch!

Jessica is a brilliant actress too. She's so interesting to watch. It's weird seeing her as a more straight actor though, but still good :D
