Man, I'm on a celeb spotting roll. Just walked down whitfield street again this morning, and passed Cl1ve 4nderson. Then went into the Wheatsheaf on Rathbone place, and the only other two people in there were Ricky G3rvais and St3phen M3rchant having lunch together. Comedians! Everywhere!

You'd think he would have mentioned that when he started this thread...oh, wait, he did :)

"I was in the pub earlier tonight, and Rob Newman was in there looking like an absolute tramp. His hair was long and unkempt, he had a huge beard, and he was slumping across the bar in a very drunken manner. It was a bit depressing, truth be told."

eh, i don't think that was him. he takes nothing stronger than coffee these days, and when i saw him on the 22nd (? i think - sometime last week anyhow) his hair was short, he was clean shaven and he looked generally fit and happy. i might even go so far as to say rowr. also saw him about three weeks ago looking the same - def not long enough for him to've grown his hair long and cut it off again. (nb i am not a stalker, he lives round our way.)

Bluetones guitarist blokey (Adam?) got on the tube before me at Archway this morning wearing a nice midnight blue velvet jacket and looking all cute and cross-eyed. Be still my beating 16-yr-old heart.

Shane MacGowan hangs out at the hipster pub over the road from my flat a lot, but this is annoying due to said hipster content. It's nice when it's just you, Shane and the cats though.

My Dad met Daniel Day-Lewis at a social event last Sunday. He said he was very tall, with smiling eyes and a natural athletic ability. I'm not quite sure what kind of an event this was...

― Lara (Lara), Tuesday, 28 September 2004 10:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Thursday:

1. Brett Anderson walking up New Oxford Street hand-in-hand with attractive dark-skinned lovely

2. A McGann on his own in a pub (there's so mnay McGann's however that seeing one is no great acheivement)

I sat next to Dr Legg from Eastenders on the tube last night. He is the oldest man in the world! I win. Take that you fuckers.

I saw Richard D James coming out of angel tube station on saturday night at about 8.10...I nudged my flatmate and said "look who's there! look who's there!". Flatmate had no idea who I was talking about. But aphex heard and gave me a grumpy look.

― JimD (JimD), Sunday, 10 October 2004 22:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Did he get his tank in the tube?

― Core of Sphagnum (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 10 October 2004 22:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Wait, that came out wrong.

I should add that all of them seem very nice.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 17:13 (nineteen years ago) link

The Argyle! I've stayed there!

Bjork looking very sad/tired, in the back of a Mercedes, on Eastcastle St, Fitzrovia, last Tuesday

Exactly!

saddo backdated ones: Leslie Grantham on my flight to NY back in April. Avid Merrion in BPNS several FAPS ago. Cheryl and Nicola of Girls Aloud at the Popjustice £20 Music Prize a few weeks back.

― Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 17:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Celebrities I missed sighting at recent Moz concerts: Dave Gahan (OMG), Nancy Sinatra, Michael Stipe, Conan, and of course Chloe. Perhaps I need to up my glasses perscription.

My brother and my nephew (his son obv.) saw George Bush the first AND the Dalai Lama in one airport experience. Both waved at Gus, who was four at the time.
I expect he will be confused by this. Should I save Tibet or make money in oil? HMMM.

Mark Heap on Wardour Street. That's kind of pathetic, isn't it? Must try harder.

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 18 October 2004 15:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I spotted a fella out of River city in the bar at the CCA on Saturday, reading the indie and smoking rollies.

― leigh (leigh), Monday, 25 October 2004 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

b3rnard butl3r was on the w7 with me the other morning. also, a priceless damon sighting but it's probably libelous or something like that.

In the ticket office at Waterloo last Friday: housewives' favourite Nigel H4v3rs! Looking harrassed.

i think people will be jealous of your Mark Heap sighting Mark, one woman especially - good job it wasn't Reece Shearsmith...

Phil Babb came into our restaurant for a meal, when he came to the bar I went to serve him, clcked who it was, and instantly recalled his bollocks colliding at high speed with a goalpost back when he was playing for Liverpool. Naturally I started laughing. He asked me why I was laughing and I explained. He just grinned and said "yeah, I get that a lot."

Apart from that a bunch of footballers and rugby league players, and attendant wives, eat at ours. And one or two of the cast of hollyoaks. Not overly exciting.

N.B. I may have mentioned this before

Kaye Adams off Loose Women was on the same flight as me back from my holidays yesterday.

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Phil Babb!

That reminds me, did I ever mention that I had an AIM chat in, like, 1995 with someone who claimed to be Phil Rudd of AC/DC? I never knew why anyone would want to impersonate him -- he wasn't trying to pick me up or anything and seemed genuinely interested in whether the younger generation still listened to AC/DC -- so I always wondered if it was actually him.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:55 (nineteen years ago) link

(I had no idea who he was, btw. I mean, I'd heard of AC/DC, but that's about it.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 25 October 2004 16:55 (nineteen years ago) link

Same thing happened to me but it was someone claiming to be in Polvo. I didn't know who they were.
