Who or what is Eve?

Sally Phi11ips on Berwick Street, looking pregnant.

Alison from Big Brother 2002, Epcot Florida.

Dawn says "Oh, there's Alison from BB!" I say "Oh, she looks like her..."

And then she produces a microphone and starts talking into a camera in brummie..

Oh, I saw someone that looked very like Sandy-that-pissed-in-a-bin-and-jumped-over-the-fence from Big Brother at London City Airport last Sunday. I've still never seen any of the Scottish Big Brother contingent (I must be the only one never to have seen Shahbaz!), though my brother was on first name terms with Cameron's mum when she was flying down for all his eviction nights back in the day.

Eve is a rapper/singer/actress. She was in Barbershop and, most recently, a mugshot.

Who's Sally Phi11ps.

Comedy actress - Smack the Pony, I'm Alan Partridge, Bridget Jones films, rubbish sitcoms.

― ailsa, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

I love her!

― Dr.C, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I fear you're too late (I used to love her too, in Alan Partridge, sigh).

― Mark C, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:15 (seventeen years ago) link

note: no one asked who ROBERT DE NIRO is

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 30 April 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

My dad did, once, when he met him. Well, he came home and told us he'd met some American actor called Robert De Niro and had we heard of him because apparently he's quite famous?

Last weekend in London - Louis Theroux cycling up Oxford Street, Peter Bowles in Covent Garden, an obscure British actor called Milton Johns also in Covent Garden, Jack Davenport and Jenny Agutter in Soho (not together).

And about 3 minutes after arriving back in Cardiff, saw Stuart Cable!

Milton Johns is in the middle in this photo:

for some reason I think I had assumed peter bowles was dead

― RJG, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:01 (seventeen years ago) link

He looked close

― nate woolls, Monday, 30 April 2007 18:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Jonathan Dimbleby. Who's about 2 foot tall.

― Tom D., Tuesday, 8 May 2007 10:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Norman Blake again, standing in the window of a building down the back of George Square.

― ailsa, Tuesday, 8 May 2007 16:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Bjorn from Abba walked past me last week, just off Great Portland Street.

― Daniel Giraffe, Wednesday, 9 May 2007 12:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Douglas Hurd. Just along from Bank station.

― Tom D., Thursday, 17 May 2007 16:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Ryan Gosling at La Cita in downtown L.A. a few weeks back. Very friendly.

― MikeyH, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Walter Smith outside Ibrox. Shunsuke Nakamura outside Celtic Park.

(seeing people outside their place of work probably shouldn't count, should it?)

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

i love la cita! i propose an laxor downtown dance night there.

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:24 (seventeen years ago) link

― get bent, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:29 (seventeen years ago) link

― acrobat, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, I nearly forgot: Maggie Gyllenhall, Peter Saarsgaard, and some older woman, walking in Soho; Maggie and the older woman sat down on a bench to talk, while Saarsgaard was sent into a store to fetch Maggie some frozen yogurt.

P.S. Maggie G is evidently the sort of celebrity who looks 1000x times BETTER in person than in any film she's ever done.

I see Ben Folds a lot (and usually resist the urge to throw things at him). The last time, when my mother was in town, he opened the door for her as we were exiting a restaurant. She greeted him with buoyant "Why, thank you!" and he looked confused and midly frightened. She didn't know who he was. She was just being her regular friendly self.

― molly mummenschanz, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Why would you want to throw things at Ben Folds? Even if you don't like his music, he seems like a hard guy to hate.

(Wait, you don't look like Axl Rose, do you?)

― nabisco, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link

nabisco, I do, actually. Spitting image.

― molly mummenschanz, Thursday, 17 May 2007 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Good lord, I'm making mid-90s Ben Folds lyric-reference jokes, someone help

― nabisco, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw Steve Buscemi chilling at some Village cafe looking exactly like Steve Buscemi.

― sexyDancer, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:05 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost - nabisco, for me, lyrics like that create an urge to throw small objects. I met this girl... oh sweet jesus. Now it's stuck in my head.

― molly mummenschanz, Thursday, 17 May 2007 20:09 (seventeen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Forgot to catch up on my posting here...

Cybill Shepherd at the Charles Phoenix show at the John Anson Ford Theater.
Rob Corddry at The Grove
David Spade at The Grove later on
Ryan Gosling at the corner of 4th and Hope downtown.

...and Matt Groening at the Electrelane show tonight

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 1 June 2007 07:27 (seventeen years ago) link

hahahah I can outdo you guys! I totally saw Fr4ncesc4 V4nthi3l3n who is a famous presenter and actress in Belgium. She came into my shop asking for batteries for her watch.

― stevienixed, Friday, 1 June 2007 11:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Alison Steadman looking lost near Oxford Circus.

― Mark C, Friday, 1 June 2007 11:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw James Nesbitt on Berwick St last week.

― Colonel Poo, Friday, 1 June 2007 11:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Bill Nighy (again). Kentish Town. Standing by a dustbin separating the Family, Travel, Money sections from his Sunday papers before binning them like the rest of us do.

― Tom D., Monday, 11 June 2007 10:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Dane Bowers at Casablanca's in Brighton. Drinking £1 tequila shots and being fawned over by plastic blondes. Cock.

Interestingly (or not) a friend of mine once saw another of Jordan's hole-fillers Dwight Yorke being refused entry to the same place. Gareth Gates for the set.

― Uptoeleven, Monday, 11 June 2007 10:38 (seventeen years ago) link

that's not nice

― RJG, Monday, 11 June 2007 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Jeremy Vine + family on Drury Lane, Sunday morning, carrying lots of newspapers.

― ailsa, Monday, 11 June 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

(uncorroborated sighting of Jo Whiley on same bit of street five minutes before, but I wasn't looking out the window at the time, so only have a "I think Jo Whiley just walked past the window" bit of hearsay to go on there)

― ailsa, Monday, 11 June 2007 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

jonathan frakes at my work last night

― jergïns, Monday, 11 June 2007 18:55 (seventeen years ago) link

three weeks pass...

mariska hartigay next to me at the playground while we were both pushing our sons on the swingset. i had no idea it was her until my wife pointed it out. i guess her son was having a birthday party there. i got to hear her talk to a friend about her son's eating habits for about 4 minutes. my failure to take notes pretty much dooms my celebrity-reporting career.

― tipsy mothra, Sunday, 8 July 2007 23:57 (sixteen years ago) link

oh also andy rooney apparently lives around the block from us. we can see the back of his building out the back of ours. i have not sighted him, but my wife has. she said he made grandfatherly smiley faces at our kid.

― tipsy mothra, Sunday, 8 July 2007 23:58 (sixteen years ago) link

I just made a complete tit of myself in front of Dave Chapelle, whose polaroid is up in Peets' Coffee as "customer of the week". My boss and I stood there talking loudly about DAVE CHAPELLE and I WONDER IF HE COMES HERE EVERY DAY when none other than...DAVE CHAPELLE got up from a table in the corner and bolted out the door. I hope I didn't make him run away to Africa.

bbc economics guy evan davies, store st, london, at some point in the last month.

Drew Barrymore came to our party on Saturday.

― Spencer Chow, Monday, 9 July 2007 22:34 (sixteen years ago) link

That's quite excellent. Did she have a rider?
