Were you anywhere near Boogaloo Enrique? That might make Moss-sense.

― Anna (Anna), Monday, 8 August 2005 12:50 (eighteen years ago) link

indeed i was. so it *does* make sense. but possibly it was just an attractive brunette in shades.

― N_RQ, Monday, 8 August 2005 12:51 (eighteen years ago) link

who smiled at me.

So can NickB tell us who was sitting next to him at this wedding now it's safely in the past???

Err, N1gell4. Except she didn't sit opposite me, cos last minute seating malarkey scuppered it. Boo hiss drat!

On Regent Street yesterday teatime I saw proceeding towards me in a slow but stately fashion Stephen "Inspector Blakey" Lewis as immortalised in this greatest ILx thread ever!

I saw Pauline Quirk last night, near Covent Garden, with her little piggy eyes.

i saw michael fielding at my friends' gig the other night. i was excited, but my companion totally took the wind out of my sails: "eh. he goes to everything."

Stewart Osborne will appreciate this, if no-one else does. Not only did I see T.V. Smith and Gaye Advert on Friday but they beat me in a pub quiz and I was later introduced to T.V. (as Tim) before I realised who he was, I never got introduced to Gaye, who is still a (very) fine figure of a woman!

... but seeing Inspector "I'll 'ave you Butler" Blakey beats all!

i saw a guy who looked a lot like the drummer from elastica wearing an old elastica t-shirt on oxford street yesterday.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 11:55 (eighteen years ago) link

actually, not michael fielding. the other one - noel.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 11:57 (eighteen years ago) link

.. methinks this is stretching the concept of celebrity to breaking point... thinner than an old Elastica t-shirt in fact (xpost)

R0bert R3dford was in the cafeteria at work last month. He was sitting talking to Fr@nk R1ch. He looked good if weathered about the face, very slim, casual in a black tee and jeans.

My wife claims to have seen John McCrirrick (sp?) in Maidenhead. Pre-outburst, obv.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 13:09 (eighteen years ago) link

i saw leo fitzpatrick (aka telly from kids) outside the knitting factory lady sov show talking on his cellphone (i always seem to catch celebs mid-phone conversations for some reason)

In a remote corner of the empire.

Tuesday I saw Bruc3 W!ll!s wearing white shorts t-shirt sneakers and baseball cap walking with a cute curly headed brunette girl next door type going into the same Soho boutique K4t3 M0ss or her double went into- L3g4cy.

Today when crossing Canal from Soho into Tribeca, I saw a tall sexy fullgrown woman walking a little dog while holding a silky parasol. She went under some scaffolding and closed the parasol and, even though she was wearing shades, I could see it was Dr Jean Grey, F4mk3 J4nss3n.

one month passes...

Noel Gallagher in New Quebec Street, Fitzrovia, looking around in wonder at his surroundings.

Tom Baker on Dean Street, just walking.

The bloke who played Mark Fowler in Eastenders and Gabriel on the Bill (until last week) was in an offy on Muswell Hill Broadway buying beer and wine. He then got in some kind of SUV and drove off towards Hornsey. How exciting.

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Monday, 17 October 2005 13:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I walked past the Pussy Cat Dolls, there were dozens of them (since their entourage all looked exactly like the actual Dolls) and they smelled like a drugstore.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 17 October 2005 13:07 (eighteen years ago) link

The bloke who played Mark Fowler in Eastenders and Gabriel on the Bill

Here's a generational issue. Most people I know would say 'Tucker in Grange Hill'. I r old etc.

jo wiley, new cavendish street, friday (again)

― N_RQ, Monday, 17 October 2005 13:16 (eighteen years ago) link

I met Keith Duffy last night. He seemed like a pleasant chap.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Monday, 17 October 2005 13:18 (eighteen years ago) link

i had that michael jackson fellow in my shop the other day. also had the (dis)pleasure of g4, vernon kay, michael caine, noel gallagher, john terry, jose mourinho, jordan (+peter andre) dale winton and parky over the last couple of weeks.

― michael grant (michael digby grant), Monday, 17 October 2005 18:58 (eighteen years ago) link

It's almost like you work in one of the most up-market and famous stores in the world, Michael...

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 17 October 2005 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I saw perma-tanned former SSP leader Tommy Sheridan in Buchanan Street underground station today.

Yeah, Michael, show-off :)

David Attenborough! HMV, Oxford Street, Sat'day! Classical section of course!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 09:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Burt Bacharach! Last Friday at a Starbucks in midtown Manhattan!

Even if you didn't recognize him as a genius/popicon you'd see him and think "wow that guy's got the most amazing head of grey hair."

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 10:00 (eighteen years ago) link

ian mcewan, fitzroy square, last tuesday afternoon.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 10:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Richard Lewis at the Arclight yesterday afternoon. He's much shorter in person and has hunched shoulders

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Juliette Lewis at the Chicago Music Exchange (fancy guitar store) with her bandmates, looking at pricey guitars (including a $6500 Firebird).

― n/a (Nick A.), Monday, 7 November 2005 15:36 (eighteen years ago) link

my mum saw them rather than me, but i was in the building: jeffrey and mary archer, fitzwilliam museum, cambridge, yesterday.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 7 November 2005 15:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Once I saw Edward Norton (3dw4rd n0r70n?) getting out of a limousine downtown and I yelled "Hi Edward Norton!" to him. My friend literally soiled himself, but in his defense it was on a dare and not out of excitement. I also saw the singer for Okkervil River in a Japanese restaurant; he bought the Vegetarian Bento.

I stood next to TV dreamboat Dermot O'Leary at the football tonight. He's terribly handsome in real life.

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 9 November 2005 23:40 (eighteen years ago) link

My friend literally soiled himself

LITERALLY??

Michael "Kramer" Richards at my fave Village health-food diner last night. I looked up from my salmon chowder and found myself staring into his eyes as he lumbered in; how I avoided laughing I can't say.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 10 November 2005 21:31 (eighteen years ago) link

i saw lohan getting out of a black escalade into the soho grand hotel in nyc. she was with some dudes who looked like they were in a band. maybe it was good charlotte.

Years ago, when my kids were little, we were at the clothing-optional end of the beach here. K3vin C0stn3r walked by and my kids struck up a conversation with him a few yards away from where I was lounging on my beach towel. I wanted to get a t-shirt made that said "K3vin C0stn3r Saw Me Naked."

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Friday, 11 November 2005 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

MR HUGH GRANT oozing charrm and savwah faire, while waiting for single occupancy restroom at NYC restaurant. Looked like he does on screen only shorter of course. I suspect he wanted me to give up my place in line so a bonafide sex symbol could take a piss. No way.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Sunday, 13 November 2005 22:06 (eighteen years ago) link

ian mcwean, for the third time on this thread, and in pretty much the same place (grafton way, nr TCR), yesterday evening.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 11:59 (eighteen years ago) link

― emsk ( emsk), Wednesday, 16 November 2005 12:59 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

I sat right next to Les Dennis in a Thai restaurant in Soho last night. To my disappointment, he didn't do his Mavis impression once. Maybe I should have asked him.

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Friday, 2 December 2005 09:05 (eighteen years ago) link

BILL FUCKING CLINTON

weymouth st, london, just now.
