    Finishing a jog about 2 weeks ago and a big jeep with "Wallace" written on it drives up as I wait to cross the road. I gawked at it thinking "who drives this yok?" ... When I saw Mick Wallace driving past I gawked even longer.

    He waved. I lol'd.

    He has a personalised plate "Wallace" on his jeep? That's illegal surely?

    When I was in landan, your man who played Simon from the Inbetweeners and the girl who played his girlfriend in one of the seasons was there too. They were eating and were with family so we didn't bother to interupt them. Everyone left them in peace to be fair.

    I would have puked on them.

    Work in a D4 hotel so see a few small-time celebs. The Blonde girl out of Xpose, yer wan that goes "Dermot!" On Fair City.

    Liam Brady comes in sometimes before Champions League, big red face on him. Good makeup in RTE.

    Going back a few months, saw Maxi that used to play for Liverpool in New York's Apple store. Was very tempted to go up to him but left him be.

    Not sure if anyone in Ireland have heard of Beyonce and Jay-z

    I think I've heard of them. Aren't they some of the new fangled "pop" "musicians" that the young people are into now?

    Oh yeah another one, I was at an assessment centre in the Radisson Hotel in Stillorgan and I stayed overnight. Went down for breakfast the next morning and saw Jimmy Magee eating there too! After about 20 minutes, John Creedon lands over and says to him "I'm a huge fan" and shakes his hand! Didn't even spot him sitting across the room!

    Unfortunately not. Could have been a great night. Russell was a sound man. Had a disagreement with him and told him go **** himself and he laughed about it in fairness.

    Saw Gillian Anderson in O'Hare last month.

    I actually recognised the voice before I saw her.

    She may have had a touch of work done but she's quite a striking woman.

    Odd too that she's far hotter now than she was in her 20's.

    I saw Dale Winton in Dundrum.

    I live across the road from Evelyn O Rourke, she has a book out now.

    My local is the lead singer from The Scripts local too, so I see him there.

    No, I've never seen anyone famous :(

    I see Amy at the Bagel Factory all the time. She loves her bagels.

    Seen them at the cinema a few times, he stands off to the side 'hiding' and makes her get the tickets and popcorn :D

    Met a few people over the past while.

    My most famous on being stevie wonder.

    Sitting having a beer in new york and random as anything, in walks the wonder boy himself being led by his minder, just to use the toilet.

    My jaw dropped. Out he came 5 mins later (prob 5 stone lighter too) and my mate says hiya stevie! His minder was not impressed and pulled him along until wonder says no I want to say hello.

    He came over to the two of us, asked us was our accent irish, and explained that he loves it in Ireland.

    My friend is a cheeky git, as him for a photo. Sound as a pound he agreed. Now have a lovely photo.

    This really is a true story, but just to add a joke.... Bet stevie didnt see it coming! He was very happy to see us!

    ;)

    My job actually puts me working with "famous" people. These range from famous Irish people to international famous people. The interesting thing to me is that the lower down people, for want of another phrase have been the rudest people I've met.
    I have no interest in the celeb culture, although there are people I'd love to meet.
    Anyway, some Irish people who appear in the paper from time to time have been the most ignorant people I've ever met. Go figure.

    I 100% can vouch for that as in my current job I meet famous people and "famous" people every week.

    The "famous" people are always the biggest ass wipes going, thinking because they appeared on rte or whatever at some stage for doing a trout pout, that us mere mortals are completely beneath them.

    A certain xpose presenter comes to mind.

    Yeah agreed, I work in TV so see a lot of them, but then as a colleague once said to me, the A-listers don't need to be dickheads as they've got ten more layers of people to do their dirty work for them - all they need to do is show up and smile :)

    The funny thing is that I've seen karma bite lots of the jumped-up Z listers on the ass too - people stop caring after their three minutes are up and the fact that they've acted like absolute aRsewipes along the way means they have no contacts and no way of wheedling their way back into the spotlight.

    Being an aRsehole really is a bad business decision.
