Celeb spotting

panda100

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!

r3nu4l

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!

Peyton Manning

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

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

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!

vinnie jones was in work just before Chritsmas, then just last week we had Enda kenny in...very exciting stuff!

Kojak

Haven't met many celebrities myself, but I did meet Jimmy White (snooker player) a few years ago - sound man.

Also Aonghus McAnally from The Lyrics Board *cringe* :eek:

I served Samantha Mumba a few times when i worked in miss selfridge back when she was famous
Lately I bump into her in Barcode in fact I'm sick of seeing her there
Dunno whether I'd call him a celeb but that young bloke in Love is the drug (Chris Newman) who was in the raggy boy also he frequent's there also that guy Mondo from fair city I've seen him there too also
Dj spiral is a local there on a Thur's night there so my lil sister tell's me

Catriona (Niamh's sister) on fair city is my close mate she was in it a couple of year's ago and she just got another contract starting in May

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!

yeah I spose....

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.

I met Tommy Tiernan outside Abrakebabera one night just off Grafton Street it was just after he was on Ted. When he came out I just said "howya tommy" like a typical paddy. He kept walking but threw his fist up into the air and shouted "Up The Revolution" at the top of his voice. It was pretty funny. I had a session once with a band called TV on the Radio. I dont know if they count as celebrities to most people but they do to me.

Rawr!

Awh Tommy is just such a legend... I had a dream about him a few weeks ago! LOL...... *wink wink*

He bought a mic and some minidiscs in the shop I used to work in in town a couple of years back. We got talking to him and he gave us tickets to one of his gigs that was comeing up in Vicar st. Nice bloke.

Livvie

I didn't exactly spot Joe McFadden, because we went to the stage door after the last performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Edinburgh. Great actor, and really really nice guy - put all his packages down on the wet pavement so we could get a photo with him, and he signed autographs, and chatted.

And he's got eyelashes to die for.

Seinas

tracy from fair city spent paddy's day down here in castleisland!! she was out watching our parade

loodles

I saw Roy Keane in Manchester Airport in January. He boarded the plane infront of us and tripped going up the steps- twice. Myself and a few friends were behind him and couldn't help but erupt with laughter! Needless to say he was a little embarrased! Classic

tampopo

Last Wednesday at about 2 o'clock I saw the fella with the really really dark 5 o'clock shadow near St.Agnes' Church in Crumlin.

In the summer of 1995 I delivered post to Mr. Suzuki of The Suzuki Method who was staying in the UCD student campus accommodation. I was working there. Not that big a deal but I had a Japanese girlfriend at the time, and she didn't believe me.
Another time I said Ommedetto to Takumo Sato when he won his race at Mondello.

I've seen Emma O'Kelly a few times around near where I live.

Last year I was at a schools rugby match and Tony Ward walked by me, I was so in awe of him I couldn't bring myself to say howya, he must be sick of it at this stage. He was in the Ireland team when I was younger.

Served Jayo once after a GAA match.

Could have SWORN it was yer woman from Primetime in Superquinn on Sundrive road a couple of years ago. Dressed really dowdy, but looked like her.

15 or so years ago this weekend I met the cartoonist from the San Francisco Weekly or the SF Bay Guardian. Big gang of us locked....

Saw the black actor from Lethal Weapon one time too while in SF.Jesus, whatsisname....????
Saw several people walking around Grafton St. (Bamber Gasgoine) Next in Jervis Centre(Sinead can't carry a tune O'Connor) and the Ilac Centre (Van Morrison). Brian Dobson in that lightshop near St.John Rodgerson's Quay.
