Celeb spotting

Spotted anyone famous recently? If so...spill the dirt!

Already this week I have jogged beside the russian one from Fair city in my gym and spotted Linda Martin in my local Spar. It does help living in Donnybrook!

Linda Martin had bout an inch of war paint on. Dont think she's heared of the phrase 'growing old gracefully'.

I saw the blonde one that used to be married to paul in Fair City in Dundrum shopping centre! Would have ran after her for an autograph but I was in the queue for a smoothie.....ah well!

Not recently but...

Remember the time Patrick Stewart was on the Late Late show last year? I saw him the next day in Dublin Airport...not a Star Trek transporter in sight.

Also, in Stanstead airport at Christmas I saw Justin Ryan (from Justin and Colin, the gay interior designers).

In Cambridge, while watching Casino Royale I was sitting near the front of the cinema because it was jammed, I heard a computerised voice talking behind me, turned around and there was Prof Steven Hawking and his nurses sitting there staring up at the screen

I went out for dinner for my birthday a while back, we went to a nice Italian in Dalkey. When we sat down Bono was sitting beside us, so of course I acted cool!

Then Sinead O'Connor and Neil Jordan walked and went to table upstairs. Me and my mum had got quite excited at this stage.

Then Pat Kenny came in to have dinner with his wife. That. of course topped it off. It doesn't get more exciting then Pat Kenny!

It's a true story!

Met Brendan Grace in the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney many years ago, very polite man I must say.

Also, was in a restaurant in Germany, Leighton Hewitt (sp?) and Kim Clijsters and 2 friends were having dinner at the table next to us. It was a school trip, however, I was only with one classmate and 3 teachers at the time. I would have made more of seeing such famous sports stars but I was mildly concussed having just had an x-ray in an uber-scary German hospital after a particularly bad snowboarding accident. lol. Didnt stop my Art teacher interrupting their meal and asking for autographs. But they were very nice about it.

Shook hands with John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls (greatest moment of my life lol) but it was after a concert so Im sure that doesnt count...

Ciara22 · 10-03-2007 11:14am

Used to work in BT's so met Bono, served Andrea Corr, and yer one off the afternoon show, Sheana Keane.

Oh, remember those guys from the boyband 'Five'? When they were in Dublin,they got arrested for fighting in a pub - met them in Pearse Street Garda Station!

Miss Fluff · 10-03-2007 12:39pm

Drinking in the Tea Clipper Knightsbridge one evening a few years ago, Liam Gallagher invited me over to his table to join him and his minder. Drinking with him for an hour or so while he was EXTREMELY rude to my then boyfriend. Truly hilarious. He actually put Cigarettes and Alcohol on the juke box :rolleyes:

Malteaser! · 10-03-2007 1:01pm

Damien Rice showed up in my school last year for something. Turns out hes a bit of a tool. Also saw him walking around Marley Park at a Frames gig once.
Saw Liam Gallagher in a hotel in London as a kid, but was too busy playing my gameboy to pay much attention.

Well I only saw him, I could have stopped him and chatted but to be honest, if I was that famous I'd hate to be stopped everywhere by complete strangers so I left him alone

Rawr! · 11-03-2007 12:21pm

I'd have still stopped him anyways tho :P

He did?I always though bands would be sick of hearing their own music.Would have been cool if he'd put on a blur song

Emms Bunton from the spice girls cousin was in my class so I met baby spice a few times. She was really down to earth and really sweet.
Met Duncan and Simon from Blue in Lillies. Duncan was great craic and even started walking up to coppers with us cos he wanted to check it out.

Andrew 83 · 11-03-2007 6:48pm
