Accidental Encounters With The Rich and Famous?

And later that night he and I tagteamed Uma.

Chloe Sevigny and Paul Kaye coming into Madame Jo Jos about two seconds after Nick's gig there had finished. Fuck was he cross he didn't see them, 'cos they turned straight around when they discovered music was over.

At a Beck show was kissing boyfriend on balcony, only to turn around to see my pal Graham who co-wrote Father Ted blushing away in the company of Peter Baynham and Mr Christopher Morris. CRINGE.

Liam Gallagher tried to mate his fuzzy black coat with my fuzzy white coat, stood next to me at last Manics-with-Richie show. I don't like Oasis but he was fucking gorgeous, has the startled Peter O' Toole eyes thing, so...

Gwen Stefani pokes me on shoulder at weird Blur gig where Spice Girls invaded stage to say, 'are those the fucking Spice Girls?'

Gormless girls from college went to do open-mic gig at Speakeasy in Village. They are taking pictures of selves in front of venue afterward. Friend and I are sitting on steps of felafel store, eating our dinners. Keith Richards and Billy Idol come out of Scrap Bar opposite and shout, 'why don't you take pictures of someone FAMOUS?'

other people's houses:

Hugo Speer from the Full Monty getting baked in my friend's front room.

Kathleen Hanna getting baked in my friend's kitchen.

Weird thing about Bill Murray is we spotted him and started to get closer and then he was gone. It was strange. He de-materialized or something.

best i can do is Claire Danes and her boyf on melrose in LA (didn't recognise either of them to be honest) and then, 10 minutes later in golden apple, Allyce Beasley (miss DiPesto from moonlighting)

the following saturday, crossing across sauchiehall street I see jim delahunt again. I shout "how am I doing??" and he waves to me. I continue to the horseshoe bar where bernard ponsonby asks me if my surname is spanish.

after my brother's graduation, we are leaving est est est on glasgow's bothwell street. jim white and family are about to enter.

the british open at st. andrews a few years ago. I haven't slept from the day before and am sort of hungover and stale feeling. I encounter archie macpherson doing laps around the practice green. after I tell him who he is he tries to shake my hand.

I OWN THIS THREAD.

And about 10 years ago I saw Izzy Stradlin on a bicycle riding down the Uxbridge Road. (It might not have really been him)

Next day at work, I mention what happened. No one knows who he is.

me?

courtney love
bobby gillespie
kevin shields
gowan
sandy from big brother (strangely the one i got most excited about and shouted 'hey it's sandy from big brother' in the middle of selfridges, where he works....)
j mascus
liam gallagher and his roadies (who both tried to pick up sophie and sophie, underneath ultra violet lights, pointed out the cocaine which was glowing under their noses)
tony viscounti
liv tyler
chris sheppard
richard ashcroft (don't know if that counts...just stared whilst my friend tony rolled him a joint)
jason spaceman and kate radley (scored pot off of my friend tony)
kevin spacey (he asked my friend tony for a special favour)
eric's trip (showed off my neil young records that i bought, and tutted them having to pay loads more for their neil yougn albums (which i got for much cheaper) and then went to the gig and yelled out, look look, someone bought julie doiron a gift, a big gift, as she placed a box of merchandise on their table. saw bob dylan walk by very frightened, a load of third rate indie bands, hmmm....hmmmm....who else? kate moss. *arched eyebrow* hmmm...hmmm....sophie mentions loads of celebs but they are english celebs so i have no clue - though i did call someone out for budding in line at budgens, i think it was a well known television presenter in crouch end.

the end!

when i was a baby, we used to live in a housing project in toronto, and next door, lived aretha franklin's third cousin, who was my mother's best friend and i had my photograph taken with aretha holding me.

j mascis was the most boringness...

luckily i don't remember him AT ALL

i partied with sloan, got drunk and told them all to fuck off because i hated their band. i was going through issues at the time.

same thing happened with my friend tony and k_v_n s_____Y only i think he wanted chatted wtih him aurually. he never did. though i told him it would be glamorous if he did. and i think i was as well, SHOCK, smoking cigarettes.

alex from blur once told tony that he was beautiful and looked like a young syd barrett and tried to get him to come to the aftershow party at blur...!!

and this weekend, i was chatting wtih bill scienkeiwics of new mutants,/electra art fame. though he tried to deny it - it was obvious it was him.

note to reader - she never slept with any of them.

i once shouted 'feel my rage' at trent reznor.

and the oddest story was about the ramones, my friend dustin jumped off a bridge, in a dare, smashed his knee to hell, was at the hospital, he was high on drugs that he had given him, he went out to buy a soda on crutches, when a limo pulled up (the ramones played london, ontario that night) and it was joey, he gave a ride back to the hospital and gave him 50.00.

He wishes, he just has the knack and the charm for bringing out the gay in stars.

I saw that guy from Auteurs in an old man pub having a drink with the guy from Jesus and Mary Chain.

hahahaha!

dustin bought ron jeremy a beer. i emailed the guy who wrote 'don't go in the woods'

i like the stories in this thread.

(Thinks: shameless namedroppers, the lot of them!)

of course, i told ch____di, she should sleep with leonard, as it would be glamorous...!!!

(* Not true, but I get the feeling he'd like to.)

5-5, 7-7: their beautiful symmetry.

I left this goofy airport security bomber jacket of mine over Rufus Wainwright's house after a drunken party one night. I saw him wearing it at a bar a couple of weeks later and he was really disappointed that I wanted it back. "Oh, sure, Goofus, take it, it's yours, whatever you want, baby."

I guess the second one wasn't really accidental. But it involved a coat.

they were wearing big furry hats.

they looked alien. it was here in rotterdam, holland.

I was getting lunch.

She never even said sorry, yo. It really pissed me off.

The hotel is a great place though for this sort of thing. John Stamos stayed there a few weeks ago when he did Caberet and hit on me when I was talking to one of the girls at the front desk. All I could think was, "Isn't his wife like hot or something? I'M AS OLD AS KIMMY GIBBLER!" Timbaland is there all the time, I always see him and get to go, "Hey, what up?" which is glamorous because then everyone thinks I'm good friends with Timbaland.

Y'know, Uncle Jesse always seemed like he was on the verge of macking on Kimmy. He just struck me as a sleazy perv.
