I was looking for one because me and kyle saw K3anu R33v3s at The Black Rider in SF last night. He had a nice chocolate brown suit on and had a great dirty beard that covered most of his face. He was pretty tall and was accompanied by a lady with crazy hair. I thought he looked good but both of the wives said he looked like ass, so I assume that they were probably more right than I.
Long may the sightings (and observations) continue. Maybe keep them googleproof tho'.

On Friday just gone, I took Alice swimming to Coral Reef, Bracknell.(Dawn was at work, Amber at school). She enjoys the slides, and wouldgo down the fastest ones except she's not allowed to wearing armbands.So, there we are in the jacuzzi bit, I see a girl in a red bikini wholooks vaguely familiar, but think no more of it. So anyway, we are queueing for the slide, and there she is again, with a sort of "you know me and you are not saying hello" puzzled look. I'm like, no I don't think so, but one thought does flash through. Anyway, after an hour or so, Alice and I get showered and dressed etc, and now the girl is outside in the hairdrying area, and now I realise. It was only when she had her clothes on, I realised it was Claire Grogan. (She spoke briefly to two young boys with her, so I'm now positive.)
p.s. she's a year younger than me and is looking OK on it...

The definitive statement about Happy Mondays was made not by me but by Andrew Dean, in a letter to Steady Mike, which with predictably uncanny recall Mike recited, roughly, to me, in August or September 1999. I liked the letter, as Mike recalled it, because it managed to convey contempt and hatred while eschewing obscenity.

She and her friends went out to dance at Glam Slam, and she was wearing a catsuit apparently. A security guard said that Prince wanted to meet her and so she agreed to go to Prince's private lair in the club cuz she was a fan.....In any case, Prince was reclined, surrounded by his "people" so the security dude took her over to Prince. Apparently, Prince just kinda looked her up and down without saying anything for an uncomfortably long period of time. Then he finally asked the question: "Is that a MYSTERY suit?"....
She was baffled, and finally just said, "Um....yeah...I guess." Then more uncomfortable silence, and when it became apparent that she wasn't going to instantly start stripping and having sex with him, the security dude said she should probably go back to her friends.

So, there I was, over in our Other Office Round The Corner where I don't normally go, discussing work stuff with one of the engineers, and Geraldine the office cleaner was chattering on about the importance of a healthy diet.
G: I never eat crisps, or junk food, or anything like that.Me: Mmm-hmmG: They're very bad for you.Me: Oh yes.G: Just ask Shay Healy over there.Shay Healy: Very bad for you, yes.
I think my brain just refused to deal with it for a second, and I just sat there with a WHAT THE FUCK IS A COMPOSER OF EUROVISION WINNING SONGS DOING SITTING AT A DESK IN THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT AND EVERYONE IS ACTING AS IF THIS IS NORMAL expression on my face.
Apparently due to some arrangement with our CEO, he uses one of the desks in the office a couple of days a week. Still deeply bizarre.

Hey, I sat next to that gimp at a Cecil Taylor concert, but that was probably about 14 years ago. Always a mystery to me how a man of such taste can make so much godawful music. Wish I'd have asked him...

Yes and I saw him at Archway a few weeks back, he must live in the area now. Never mind all that tho, yesterday I saw... RONNIE CORBETT!!!!!!!! Boy, was I excited. The strange thing is he was taller in real life than he appears on screen and it usually works the opposite way.

this might be stretching the defintion. I could imagine him STALKING & MURDERING a celebrity, though

I believe Gillespie Jr is called Wolfman.
I once saw Terry Scott. He was licking an ice cream.
But Ronnie Corbett is very much the man of the moment, so Dadismus is in the lead.

Me -- well, about a month ago I ran into a local celeb. I mentioned this in another thread, I think; I was working at an election and a local TV news anchor who looks a lot like Mr. Spock and his wife went in to vote. A little over a week ago, Mom worked at the runoff and spotted them again. He looks more human-like in person, but I was really impressed by how normal his wife looked and acted! She's not a skinny plastic surgery bitch -- rejoice!
Oh, and we're having to get some work done at the house, and one of the people we've most recently called up for help was one of my dad's former cowworkers. He now works at the SBC Center -- apparently he ran into Al Michaels before Game One of the finals and said Michaels was genial and was carrying around a bunch of grapes. I would've asked about Alanis but knew he probably wouldn't have known who she was so I didn't.

A few summers ago I was walking on a nature trail in the woods and David Letterman passed me on the trail.
Years ago I waited tables at the airport restaurant. My first day both Lou Reed and Spike Lee came in for coffee.
And then of course there are Clinton, Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Mike Wallace, Ted Kennedy, Mary Steenbergen and the other celebs who vacation here - seen them around.

When I got to the park, I flopped down on an empty patch of grass. Turns out the people about eight feet away from me were the nucleus of the Dischord "VIP section." Before I finished my dinner and scooted out of the group's way, I heard Henry and Ian bantering about "pizza that keeps it real."
Embarrassed, wishing I had a friend with me to whom I could talk, and feeling too socially inept to strike up a conversation with anyone I didn't know, I moved to another part of the park. Then I spot ten feet away from my new seat Greg Dulli, presumably in town for July 4th, with a group of people. (I also had nothing to say to him. He doesn't seem to have spoken with any of the Dischord set that evening.)
Later, as the Evens take the stage, I spot Guy Picciotto. He seems to have stayed away from the Dischord set all evening. And then finally I saw Ian Svenonius, but he turns up at everything, usually about 15 minutes before the end.

and here's ian in today's guardian:
"The mood of a city has never swung so sharply. On Wednesday there was no better place on earth. After the victory in Singapore, Londoners were celebrating the prospect of an explosion of new energy and creativity; those computer-generated images of futuristic wonderlands rising out of derelict quarters and poisoned industrial wastelands were actually going to be built."
and then:
"But terror's war on us opened another front on Thursday morning. It announced itself with a howl of sirens from every quarter, and the oppressive drone of police helicopters. Along the Euston Road, by the new UCH - a green building rising above us like a giant surgeon in scrubs - thousands of people stood around watching ambulances filing nose to tail through the stalled traffic into the casualty department."
that UCH is just opposite warren st, and of course the most recent mcewan novel is set all around this area, and starts with an imagined terrorist attack.

Also xpost - I was in a taxi behind Peter S' limo stuck in traffic near Kings X. He got out went and got a paper, went somewhere else to get a coffee and cooly stepped back into his car (which had moved about 100 yrds). I was strangley impressed.

You forgot about Tinker from Lovejoy! (though I think only Neil saw him)
(I am just miffed because I was going to revive this thread and Steve beat me to it)
Fred McAulay was apparently wandering around shaking hands with people and introducing himself with "hi I'm Fred McAulay, I have a show on Radio Scotland", which NO-ONE was impressed with, which is only right and fair.
I also saw a bloke who looked like George Clooney in the bar of what used to be the North British Hotel, but for some reason I decided not to go back and double-check. If I find out that he was at the Film Festival and I missed my opportunity to do something inappropriately silly like, erm, get his autograph/get my photo taken with him/convince him to marry me (ignoring husband for now, c'mon, it's George Clooney!), then I'll be very cross. I don't think it was him though. However, blokey in the bar of what used to be the North British Hotel, you're very goodlooking and you have a definite Clooney-esque air.

Early summer 2004 , We all went up to Belsay Hall. As we have English Heritage memberships, we've done a fair amount of going round old houses/mansions, big paintings on the walls, racks of books in bookcases, furniture behind thick decorous ropes, you get the picture.
This was different, as instead they had invited all the top fashion designers to install an art piece in one room each. Zandra Rhodes, Alexander McQueen, Stella Mac, Viv West, nearly everyone you could think of created 'art spaces'. On entering one of the halls, Amber and Alice had spotted a sheepdog, not much older than a pup, tied to a rail. They made a fuss of each other, the dog called "Red" eager to please, doing the 'sit' 15 times a minute.
Anyway, at one of the smaller halls was one of the bigger rooms, with an exhibit of a horse, made by hanging curtains of scharovski crystals (with sponsorship signs dotted around), and quite spectacular with the one shaft of light from an uptop open window. Dawn nudges me and says "Isn't that Stella McCartney over there?" and it was. Now, we'd bought the souvenir postcard pack, and Dawn wondered about getting the horse card signed. I suggested that actually, as it's obviously a low key visit, and most people had either not noticed or were too shy, probably best not to. (I'd seen how the three from New Order that arent Barney went from being casually noticed at a J&MC gig to getting swamped after one person was braveenough to ask).
Anyhow, a little later, we were entering one room as Stella was leaving another, so Dawn 'whispered' "I love your horse by the way". "Oh, thanks!" smiled Stel, and hugged her quickly. Afterwards, Dawn asked me "Was that OK?" "Yeah, of course!"
Anyhow, further/later, I'd gone to the main gate to get a poster of the exhibition, but they'd run out. On walking down the hill, Alice says "Oh look, there's Red again", chasing a ball. Thats when I saw that Dawn, Stella and Amber were full in conversation while playing with the dog. We stayed chatting for about 10 mins/1/4 hour about all sorts. What struck me was how Stella and Dawn were quite similar in a lot of ways, both being the same age. She was very complimentary about Amber's hair, remarking that her sister was dark haired although she was red herself, a bit like Amber and Alice.
I heared her say something about how difficult it was getting a good photo of the horse, so I said, "Oh , I took one, let me check" getting my camera out. (I never really thought about it..) but on checking, I said "Ah, no it's not that good" and put the camera away. I think she wondered if I was trying to get a 'quick photo' but actually, the thought hadn't even crossed my mind, and in any case I wouldn't have anyway.
Amber was quite keen to throw the ball for the dog, so Stella showed her how to bat the ball a distance using the tennis racket she had. But, Amber is a girlie and cannot hit a ball ten paces, so Stella tried to show her how by standing in front and throwing the ball to her. There was a moment I thought Amber was going to hit her a glancing blow, but no. Although, it wasn't until much later that it occured to me that a black eye would probably have made the front pages (She'd only that day announced she was expecting).
Anyway, we said cheerio, and she went back to her Family picnic, and we went home.
I did wonder if she'd pick Amber as a name for her kid, and actually not wanting that! (It was a boy in the end).
So, more recently, she was in Heat mag with Gwinneth, and I pointed the pic to Amber saying "You remember Red the Dog, and the lady?" "Oh, she famous then?" so I told her about the fashion designing, and how she'd complimenter her hair, to which she felt quite proud of herself. Oh, and eventually, pointed out Paul in the film "Help" and said that was her dad.

Is John Sinclair a celebrity? - He used to regularly play at a jazz club I worked at. Truthfully, he always came off as kind of a prick, but at least his ant-capitalist values held out enough to sell me a brand new, signed first edition of Guitar Army for like $15. He'll always be A+++ in my book b/c of that.

There are gazillions of telly trucks over at Great Ormond Street right now because that's where they took the fox-mauled twins. No kid getting treatment is more depressing than watching patients at the neurological hospital on Queen Square having a fag in their tracksuits, while rocking an IV stand.
I live a block away from all of this but on the plus side, the pharmacy at the homeopathic hospital is a cheaper Holland and Barrett and the tiny coffee shop across from GOSH is the best in London.

Joek or no, I was interested too. I'm not sure what precise pies he had - he was having a discussion with this other person about how many they had to feed and I felt a little rude trying to eavesdrop, also I had my son standing next to me saying "tell him you prefer the Shatner version of Common People" so I was trying to sush him, but they were from this delicious range - http://www.pieminister.co.uk

I had to mediate an art talk between Jarv and one other at the Tate; afterwards the Talks woman took all of us to dinner. We decided to carry on afterward and made our way to Dean Street from the restaurant in Lexington Street and Jarvis was apprehended so often it was like watching a politician making his way down a rope line...entirely filled with drunks. We didn't want a posher version of same so we swerved the Groucho for Jerry's Theatre Bar and a Bontempi organ where Jarvis wound up leading the room's singalong to Andy Williams tracks.

Although I've lived in this neighbourhood for almost three years, the past two weeks have offered me my first hungover-and-going-for-coffee-in-sweatpants sightings of Rupert Everett, who lives around the corner. First time I was sitting with a bunch of gay friends on a corner table outside the pub, and he stared at us (one of them was a well-known gay journalist) while passing - three times - and the second was last Saturday when I was getting on the Tube at Holborn. It was 8am, so somebody getting out to go home had clearly ridden the Slut Express and picked up a newspaper on the way.

Quite a while ago, but still - was at the Tame Impala approx a month ago here in Denver and Wayne's nephews band Stardeath & The White Dwarfs is supposed to play: well, they don't and instead we get a fairly bland local band that seemed to view this as their time to shine to the biggest audience they ever were going to get and thus their set-list took for fucking ever.
Anyways, dude comes up behind me and it's Wayne Coyne - I didn't even need a double take, it was just *him*, with the hair and the scarf and the suit which I didn't really think he wore in ~casual lyfe~. I wanted to shake his hand but he was getting a video of the concert and generally, as I saw him later during the night, was somewhat glad I hadn't as the hand-shakes he was being asked for seemed incredibly brief and seemed to contribute mostly to annoying him.

Whenever I see him there are always people nudging each other and whispering as he walks past. I remember one time where this guy shouted 'Ash-LEH, I say Ash-LEH' at him after he had disappeared round a corner. I think that must be the worst level of fame in some ways- famous enough that everyone recognises you and you have dicks shouting catchphrases at you, but not famous enough that you can live in a bubble and don't have to schlep around ASDA on a Saturday afternoon buying groceries.

Last month I stood next to Steve Coogan at a bar in Edinburgh. We were pretending not to know who he was, then someone else spotted him and he was suddenly surrounded by fangirls and fanboys all wanting photos and autographs. We left, and then found ourselves standing next to Angus Deayton, who attracted no attention whatsoever.
I forgot to mention last year that we saw Paris Hilton in the MGM Grand in Vegas, sat next to Minnie Driver on a flight from Vegas to LA, and saw Rob Kardashian on Rodeo Drive. I feel we did LA properly with an actual live Kardashian sighting (though we had no idea who he was, were alerted by a gaggle of screaming Australian teenagers).

Kevin Shields is an unassuming, nice guy who I've met a few times because another member of MBV used to be my neighbour and flatmate of a good friend, so he'd come to good friend's birthday drinks etc. He once went off on one to me about some conspiracy to put silica in weed, thus slowly killing all of London's pot smokers, which is the kind of thing the uh oversmoked tend to come up with, while chatting.

two from Boston the other week:
getting a pile of comics & zines rung up late on a Thursday in Million Year Picnic, I become aware that the dude punching my purchases into a calculator is Jun0t D1az. I wrestle with the dilemma of whether it would be gauche to say "btw, I like your New Yorker stories." I figure if he's just filling in for someone, it would be fun for him, but if he helps out every Thursday night, then he's not in that mode. (I say nothing.)
Two days later, while DJP has gone for a pre-PSB pee, two gentlemen step into the vacant space between myself and the good Mrs P. "Sorry, but someone's standing there, he's just gone to the loo," I murmur, and they politely move to the left.
A little later, it occurs to me that the older of the two possibly looks familiar. Dan shrugs when I ask, so I just go and interrupt again, and it turns out that he is indeed Chr1s Ew3n of Futur3 Bibl3 H3roes. We chat briefly about how their 'reunion' tour kept missing me in the States three months earlier, that he loves Sydney and wants to come down, etc.

My little niece had blisters from her new dress shoes after her Mum's very important thing. So while her Mum finished up, we wandered down Victoria Embankment to see if we could find her some Union Jack flip flops or something equally cheap and tacky. We ended up outside Charing Cross and found an Accessorize, where there were cheap kiddie flip flops. But this girl is so slow at choosing what she wants and my partner will give in to this. I was hungover and tired from the important thing so I paced up and down the shop for ten minutes while she tried on the three different options of flip flops endless times. Just as I was about to suggest this 6 year old should walk through Covent Garden bare foot, Michael Smiley walked past with the smallest handbag dog on a lead, listening to his headphones and mumbling to himself. Cheered me up no end.

this is not a celebrity but i've been working on a video project for somebody and we had to do some last minute work today and at the end of it her coworker made us a nice meal. during dinner they dropped the info that he had a bit part in "Murder in Coweta County", the 1983 made-for-tv movie staring Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash. he never actually met them but he did go to the premier party and Johnny and June Carter Cash were there. so that's pretty sweet.

We had about a dozen program directors in my 11 years at the radio station. My favorite one was this older guy named Jimmy. Kind of a shorter fella, kind of a rugged Bob Costas thing about him, if you can imagine something so crazy. Brass pipes that sounded just as sonorous in his office as it did on the radio.
He was always vague about his background, just listing a bunch of WXXXs and KXXXs real fast if asked. He once said how "the boys" used to love a big yard he had back in Virginia, but never mentioned them again. But one time, he let it slip that he had played the bad guy in an 80s made-for-TV movie starring Mean Joe Greene.
Say the fuck what? This was 15 years ago, so with an hour of searching online and an hour of waiting for the video to buffer, we finally found some clips. Apparently, the plot began soon after the moment in the Coca-Cola commercial where MJG throws his jersey to the kid. There's Jimmy, with 80s porn stache, walking in on MJG in the locker room, admonishing him for giving up the jersey. "You should've never given away that property. It's worth a lot of money. For someone as washed up as you, Joe, with his better days behind him, that money might be worth something."
"The jersey belongs to the kid now!" says Greene, as he storms out of the room.
(Looking this up on imdb, I guess Greene tries to adopt the kid? That's one way to get your jersey back.)
My co-workers and I stared at the screen. What the fuck is this? Who is this guy? On cue, Jimmy comes down the hall, sees what we're watching. "Oh you finally found it, huh? Now put that away. We've got Bert Sugar calling in!"
So like Adam, maybe this post doesn't belong here. But then again, maybe it's Jimmy who's the real celebrity here.

My guess is Northbank on the other side of the river.
I've seen two celebrities in my life. By coincidence they were both departing from a jetty in a boat. The first was Hugh Scully from television's The Antiques Roadshow. It was in Weymouth. To this day I'm not sure if he was waving to the general public, or specifically to friends of his on land. There was something absurd and yet majestic about the sight of Scully sailing off. He was David Niven on a lower budget, but he did no-one any harm.
The second was Brad Pitt, at this year's Venice Film Festival:https://www.flickr.com/photos/ashleypomeroy/48684960207/
But that doesn't really count because it was a specific celebrity event where people go to deliberately spot celebrities. That's like spotting a footballer at a football match. It's easy, because the pitch is brighly-lit with floodlights and there are twenty footballers and two goalkeepers in full view of everybody. Even if the outfits are the same colour as the pitch you can still see their legs.
No, Sting! That's the third one. He used to go to the same dentist as me. I walked past him while he was in the waiting room.

Chris Morris was in our local fishmongers, being quite charming.

Could you see his birthmark, or was he covering it up?

Saw him in the library twice. Terrible dress sense.

Claire Grogan. I was on the 91 on my way into work when I spotted her getting off at the stop outside Pentonville Prison - but I'm trying not to read too much into that. I wasn't sure it was her at first but then I noticed she had an Altered Images shoulder bag.

And there was I dreaming that she lived in Cumbernauld.

Is CIndy Blackman really related to RIck James? Asking for a friend, who has been dining out on that story for years.

Rod Stewart. I was passing through St Pancras Station on my lunch break and noticed a grand piano and drumkit had been set up. Coming back there was Rod and Jools Holland deep in discussion. His hair is still very impressive.

Ha I was walking into a big Central Park NYC playground maybe 10 years ago and noticed a dude right in front of me with that same unmistakable hair. He turned to hold the gate for me and indeed it was Rod. Saw John Stamos and Ben Stiller the same day on a long walk to Tribeca. Huge day for celebraties.

I was on the number 30 bus in Dalston recently alongside Bobby Gillespie. And in a café in Birmingham with Jess Phillips. Never see anyone up here except Pat sodding Nevin everywhere I go.

Rod Stewart seems like a really decent bloke from what I can gather – filling in potholes, calling Sky News offering to pay for people's scans, joining in with some bloke who was busking on Piccadilly Circus. (Not all at the same time.)

(xp) I'm assuming "tenement kid" Boab was ripping up bus seats with a switchblade and generally menacing his fellow passengers.

Hey Tom D., how about a new Boab sketch?

xp you'd think, wouldn't you? Rather than just dodging out of the rain with his freedom pass.

LOL

It would have to have been a free bus ride of course.

Rod does seem a decent bloke but also he's a Tory, so, y'know. His performative good deeds are good things to do, but it'd be nice to think he also does things when there's not a press following watching him do it. Saying that, he does turn up in local pubs round here sometimes before Celtic games* and get his round in (never when I'm there, though my other half has seen him, so I can't add him to the celebrity spotting thread in my own right, closest I get to watching football in the pub with a celeb is Paolo Nutini)
* Probably because we're right next to the airport - Tom D will be aware of his old haunts of the Wee Barrel and the Watermill Hotel

Getting a round in? That doesn't sound like Rod, he's notoriously the most tight fisted man in rock music... apart from Ray Davies of course.

I ran into Joe Biden at a CVS in Wilmington, DE on Easter Sunday in 2017. Got to say hello and shake his hand. I think that has to be the high water mark for my celebrity sightings.

Banal celebrity sighting: I got on a train with John Inverdale last week. He was carrying a golf bag and looked like he'd just got up.

That will only mean something to a particular subset of UK posters and even to them will mean less than a shrug.

Talking of banal "celebrity" sightings, I just this minute saw Ian Blackford on Holloway Road. He was hand in hand with his wife (I assume), which was kind of sweet.

Corbyn. He was crossing the road in front of me or else I would have said "Mornin' Jeremy".

I saw the other, bad Corbyn with a bunch of his brainwormed mates at Euston Square Station last year, steered well clear.
