roflmao! beats spitting in his coffee!

Am shocked, I always thought he preferred the company of males!

No Stephen appears to like the ladies a lot from what we saw the other night .

I did too - but he's either a very good actor or he genuinely likes ladies (and ones only just over the age of consent) He'll make a lovely son-in-law

One of my sons had the misfortune to be in the company of Glenn Hoddle (in a professional capacity).

Glenn Hoddle is a total arse.

I met Rod Stewart years ago at the Hong Kong football club he was kicking a ball about on the pitch and came over and chatted to a few 'ladies' and signed a few autographs, came over as very pleasant.

Glad you found out how lovely they are
I have met them various times over the last 16 years and they have always been friendly and down to earth. They don't seem to change!
Also mentioned in other peoples 'not nice' celebs list which I disagree with is Duncan James, who is always lovely. He even grabbed me and my sister and took us into a celeb party once when he spotted us outside & introduced us to all his friends.

Yes, they are absolute sweethearts.

Here's my random selection (that I can remember at the moment):

Nice
Michael Hutchence (off his t!ts, but lovely)
Kurt Cobain (quiet, sweet)
Cat Deely (very funny, she was a bit tipsy and a real giggle)
Ray Winston (flirty and charming)
Adam Faith (ditto)
Liam + Noel Gallagher
Damon Albarn
Alex James
John Thomson
Steve Pemberton
Thom Yorke + Phil, Radiohead
Bez, Happy Mondays
Roy Barraclough
Steve Wright
Bill Beaumont
Tom O Connor
David Essex
Donald Sinden (lovely, charming, bought drinks for everyone)
Gillian Taylforth
Clare Short
Bobby Whitlock, Derek + The Dominoes (eccentric!)
Dean Gaffney (sat next to him on a plane - was surprised at how pleasant he was)
Peter Stringfellow (ditto)
Lorraine Chase


Not So Nice
Bob Geldof (worked on a couple of projects with him. Would not like to do so again.)
Derek Draper

Will have to take my gaydar in for a tune up it seems!

Mine too, I always thought he was gay....but it seems my normally brilliant gaydar failed with him. Unless he is,indeed, a fabulous actor.............

I'm chuffed to hear Ant and Dec are nice - I adore those two, and won't have a bad word said about them.

lovely, lovely guys they seem

I have meet lots of nice celebs
Sporting stars quite few from Arsenal FC over the years(not since they moved to new stadium did win a signing for members day but it got cancelled due to bad weather we had recently)
Jonathan Ansell lots of times always has time for everyone,and his wife Debbie King is lovely too(does Sun Quiz Live)
I was at theatre in London with my friend and her mum and in the area just before you go into the theatre he spotted us and came over and chatted.
He always has time for fans

met most of the strictly come dancing lot after seeing the live tour :

Ricky Groves - He was the nicest and the funniest and considering what he has been through he was in amazingly high spirits lovely man.
Chris Hollins-Again very lovely
Ali Bastian-The nicest celebrity i have ever met.She was quite chatty and talked to me and my friend for a while.
Austin Healey-Very funny man .really liked him too
Mark RampS-Lovely,even hotter in the flesh and quite shy
Brian Fortuna-Again truly lovely and very funny.My favouite out of the pros i met
Ian Waite-Lovely
Ola Jordon-again very friendly
Matt Culter-I love him but he seemed quite uniterested by fans and walked straight past us all (about 30 people).So i was a little disspointed.

I suspect that Matt Cutler is actually just a few quiet and private person. It's interesting that two years ago a SCD contengent went the telly Baftas and he was the only one of them whose picture wasn't taken on the red carpet. He never looked happily when his photo was taken with Alesha despite the fact that they seemed to get on very well together on the show. Maybe it wasn't a good day that happens.

Matt Cutler is cripplingly shy though. He genuinely doesn't "get" the hype if he's in the middle of a mob, like he must experience on tour. Just a very quiet guy, but absolutely lovely.

crazy_moo what venue did you manage to meet the Strictly lot at? I'm seeing them at the 02 so I'm thinking there is no chance I'll meet anyone but if I don't meet Team Cola soon I will cease to mentally exist!

A friend of my Dad's aunt was landlady of a pub. One day, in walked a middle aged man.

"Aren't you going to serve me then!? Don't you know who I am!?" snaps said man, when the landlady, being otherwise engaged, did not immediately drop all and run to pander to him.

"Oh, I know who you are alright, and you can get out! Go on!" came back the landlady. Off skulked the self important man, considerably deflated.

The identity of the man in question? Former Tory minister Kenneth Clarke! What a plum! Served him totally wholly right!

I found it hard to believe that anyone could be such a dork as to actually use the DUKWIA line in real life, until I had this story recounted to me!

Words cannot describe how jealous I am that you've met Kurt Cobain. He's the one person (followed by Heath Ledger) I hate not having the chance to meet.

Geldof doesn't surprise me. The daughters are just as bad if my friend's recent meeting with Pixie if anything to go by, PG called my friend a "skanky tramp" because my friend was wearing her boyfriend's large and fraying hoodie (it's worth knowing said friend had recently come out of hospital, and her bf treated her to a weekend away in London, my friend still feeling weak emotionally always found a source of comfort and strength in wearing her bf's hoody). PG just stormed past her, snickering and giggling as she walked back down the street. My friend came home in an even worse state, gave me even more reason to dislike the Geldof's.


Not entirely sure why but I did picture Barbara Windsor when I read that bit

When I was in primary school, every year my school took us to a fun day at Battersea Park run by the Variety Club. I remember singing "Moving on Up" to Heather Small and she was really nice. She still had big hair! I also was interviewed by Jeremy Beadle for ITV news. He was lovely. They couldn't use it as my delinquent classmates were sticking their fingers up behind me and he took all in his stride despite my teacher dragging them off by the collars calling them little sh***!

I have seen a few celebs out shopping in London. I met the girl who used to play Gemma in Family Affairs. My cousin decided to go up to her in H&M and asked her "Aren't you in Brookside?" She politely corrected her. I was in TopShop in Oxford Street when someone was loudly saying, "Oh my God! Can I not like shop in peace? I mean, just because I am famous doesn't mean I don't need my time. I just wish people would leave me alone!" I saw it was Keisha from the Sugababes and NO ONE had approached her. In fact most people didn't notice her until she started mouthing off. I remember someone asking "who is she?" and everyone laughing.

I used to work for a national newsagent/bookstore and have served Jack Dee. Miserable cheap git. I also served Adele Silva and she was really nice.

I forgot about Donny Osmond, he came to my church. Very pleasant and friendly. I also met Justin Fashanu and he hoisted me onto his shoulders. I didn't have a clue nor was I interested in who he was.

I thought of her too. It would have been funny if she was the celebrity in question, with someone else telling her to "get outta my pub!"!

wrong thread

Two virtually identical threads - shouldn't they be merged?

my family often play golf with james jordan (strictly pro). Very lovely guy.

I met Ed Stewart at a record shop in Leeds in 1977
Stuart Hall at a garage near where my mother would later look after Eddie Waring

i used to do cabaret with reeves and mortimer in their early days.
nice blokes but terrible act.
