famous for fifteen minutes.

Here's a nice light topic.

Everyone these days seems to be obsessed with fame or becoming some shitty singer as in Pop idol etc etc.

However, I'd be interested (seriously) to know of your 'brushes' with fame or the famous. You might live next to so and so or was introduced to so and so or did so and so- you know what I mean.

Anyway, here's my rather limp one.

I met Sting going into a toilet in London. He said to me 'excuse me' as he made his way into the urinal. Beat that then!!!

Oh, I nearly forgot: Viv Nicholson, football pools winner and famous for the quote: 'Spend, spend, spend' - lives just around the corner from me. She's broke now.

Ummm...I've met Mark from the art programme Smart.

I've been in the same shopping centre and been about a metre away from Jade Goody, but really, who cares?

I walked past Michelle and Stu from Big Brother shopping, again, who cares?

I've been lifted up by George Graham, and he told me "I had lovely eyes" :D lol.

I've met Miss Moneypenny from the bond movies.

Ummm...that's all I can remember from the top of my head, I've been very close to nearly the whole Arsenal squad thoughm and have a specially signed picture by all the team.

KIm:

Wow. Your brush with fame is well over fifteen minutes.

Lol :P Well I'm planning on being one of them people myself :P ... doubt I will make it though.

Depends on your interpretation of fame.

Well I don't particularly want to be famous as such, I would just love to act. Either on stage, on television or wherever. I love it. :)

I met Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, Nina Sky and a lot of other actors in a Manhattan conference last year.

There were so many more here and there...I just cant remember.

-I posed for Vogue Magazine.

-I was chosen for the role of "Anouk" in Chocolat, but 3 days later they called me back saying they changed the script and wanted someone older.

-Stomy Bugsy's (a French rapper) son goes to my school.

-Roman Polanski's kids go to my school.

-When my friend was 12, Brad Pitt was filming a movie near her house. One day, his limo stopped in front of her house. She ran out and told him that she would marry him. He said:"Wait for me in 10 years." She got the cigarette butt he through out of the window. It was 10 years a month or so ago.

-Bobby Brown used to stop by my house for iced tea or lemonade when she was jogging.

-My mother used to talk to Calvin Klein at night on the telephone.

-Marc Jacobs gave her a dress for free as long as she promised to give itback to him if he ever did a nostalgia show.

That's all that I can think of right now. I need to go to sleep.

A chemistry teacher at my high school was the whistle blower on the tobacco company and they made a movie about him and they filmed my high school and a nearby neighborhood for the movie.
