    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!

    ;)

    Im always a bit dubious about shaking hands with a blind man after a sh1te.

    Great story though.

    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.

    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.
