    emma is reading Literature at Brown, so could equally be preparing for coursework.


    and yes, Arkady, couldn't agree more.

    I was in the Glasshouse Stores in Soho this week, and as we got chucked out, we saw a celeb getting papped. Five or six photographers, around a blonde girl in leopard print who was playing to them as she got into a white limo. None of us had the faintest idea who she was.

    I think that was Mrs K.   I noticed she was in her leopard print the other day.

    It sounds like a massive celebrity-fest last night on Wells Terrace: http://parktheatre.co.uk/our-blog

    Do any of you now the Grapes at Limehouse?  Possibly my favourite pub, I try to get down there as often as I can.  It was bought by Ian McKellen recently he lives a few houses down the road).  Nothing has changed about the pub at all… except a large pewter statue of Gandalf has now appeared in one of the corners…


  • pie eater

    I saw Yusuf off Eastenders in FP tube station (coming from the wells terrace entrance) on Thursday.  My mum, who was visiting from the North, was very excited

  • Papa L

    Mr Pegg's new pad, bet he still prefers Stroud Green and Crouch End though

    Think I got a hat trick of non-Stroud Green celeb spots last week: Alan Sugar in his AMS 1 Rolls Royce (Camden), Simon Cowell looking like a right cheeseball in his black Ferrari (Kensington High St) and I'm pretty sure Bobby Pires driving a Mercedes sports car, where the A1 A41 split is.



  • miss annie

    Detritus spotted Mr & Mrs Beckham at the Savoy the other day. They are quite famous.

  • Idoru

    Misscara saw Jonny Depp in her pub the other day. I'm not jealous. Honest, I'm not.

    weeps quietly

  • ArkadyArkady

    She probably just mistook me for him.

  • miss annie

    Easily done.

  • dorothy

    Jonathon Porritt on SGR yesterday.    Is he local?

  • Kaz

    Chelsea off Eastenders in Banners today. Came in with a guy, sat down, then left after 5 minutes. Odd. 

  • Misscara

    How's about this then... Terry Jones, Johnny Depp and Porkpie off Desmond's all in The Bull in Highgate recently. Oh and Pete Burns, sadly on the day after Burns' Night.

  • Brodiej

    Not SG, but Jeff Brazier with sons Bobby and Freddie shopping for Flowers on Columbia Road yesterday. He was with his new girlf...Nicola T, off of celeb BB and ex-page 3.

  • andy

    It says 'celeb spot' Brodie. Are these friends of yours?

  • Brodiej

    Sadly Jeff Brazier is not my friend. It would complete me if that ever happened.

    Some news from yesterdays mirror, making the sighting all the more meaningful http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/we-release-balloons-for-jade---765575

    Feel free to ignore my celeb spot postings, its much easier than being rude

  • yagamuffin

    @Brodiej Oh, so Jeff Brazier is the fella who became famous because he was dating a girl who became famous because she appeared in a series of a television game show. Wow.



  • Brodiej

    @Yagamuffin. Well done mate, certainly put me in my place there with your celeb knowledge.

    Im off to release some balloons in Finsbury Park to remember Jade Goody myself.

  • andy

    did you know her?

  • chode

    My god, the level of idol worship is astounding. You people are watching far too much TV. I met a few celebs back in the 80's, but I just never found it that exciting. I would never recognise anyone around here, and if I did I wouldn't think twice about it.

  • Brodiej

    For all the Jeff Brazier haters, i think you need to get a sense of humour rather than a definitive meaning of who is allowed to be called a "celebrity". If Jeff could hear you now, he'd politely ask you to stop being so mean and to go and sign the facebook petition to get him back as a presenter of Channel5's OKTV.

    @andy. I can confirm that i never had any intention of releasing any balloons in Finsbury Park in memory of Jade Goody and that i did not know her. I shouldn't have lied.

  • djmattyoung

    That Chelsea girl from EastEnders has been round my gaff she was pretty wasted... 


  • djmattyoung

    I took the disco legend John Morales for a pizza at pappagone a few months ago... (I doubt anyone on here would have heard of him?) 


    also had Leee John from the 80's band Imagination round mine. 
  • andy

    lying is bad.

  • miss annie

    I've had a cup of tea ( not a euphemism ) at Russell Brand's house.

  • chrisn4

    as a sun reader the mr b  celeb spot is my favourite...nicola t   is  a great page 3 girl ... best celeb spot i think...

    and eastenders dr legg on w7... 

  • tosscat

    Ah, lovely Sophie Okenedo cycling north on SGR. I didn't have a chance to give her a Slap!

  • Misscara

    Carol off Eastenders on the London Overground at Highbury last week

  • pie eater

    A day late with this but yesterday I spotted Damian Lewis getting into a car* outside the council offices on Upper Street.  What with his recent/current starring role in Homeland I think that was a pretty good spot. 


    Also, not as local but I was excited to see Lesley Manville (of many a Mike Leigh film) in the Soho Curzon at the weekend....



    *I don't know what sort of car it was....
  • andy

    I am reasonably sure I saw Paul Young today.


    Worthy of mention because he was wearing a hat. We were unsubtly waiting for him to take it off and put it somewhere.
  • miss annie

    I think I sat opposite Jessie J on the tube today.

  • ArkadyArkady

    The landlord of the Nickleby is a former roadie for Paul Young.

  • stapletontavern

    The beautiful and talented Beverly Knight was in our place last Sunday, James McAvoy in The Maynard...

  • Misscara

    I saw Andy on the tube this morning!

  • kreuzkav

    I danced with Beverly Knight, she's very nice.

  • andy

    @misscara that is a crap spot. the woman next to me was reading a really interesting semi-classified thing about afghanistan, so i was engrossed in trying to read it over her shoulder.

  • Misscara

    Beverley Knight lives on Lancaster Rd. a friend of mine got her post by mistake.

  • SkiJumpNose

    World swimming champion Mark Foster was in the noble last Saturday night, although he and pal seemed to get frustrated about having to wait a few mins to get served so they left. Got to admire a man with principles

  • ArkadyArkady

    This, inevitably, made me smile.

  • missisclack

    Not local.  Not even this country, continent or hemisphere.

    Martin Clunes, whale watching off the south east coast of Sri Lanka.  He drew attention to himself by shouting "Look, a dinosaur!", then got the hump when another Brit recognised him and took a picture.

  • ChangN4N6

    Hulk Hogan was in Petek last Saturday. Astonishing. Chang

  • Jenowl

    Some recent Crouch End sightings: Phil Davis in Budgens; Will Young walking past the Clocktower; Sean Hughes outside Costa.

  • tharobc

    Peter Capaldi in Crouch End starbucks - seen a few times in there. He looks FURIOUS!!!

  • ADGS

    I recently watched Ken Russell's Lair of the White Worm, in which a very young Peter Capaldi plays an archaeologist who, being Scottish, obviously has bagpipes with him on a dig. And appears to carry a grenade and a mongoose in his sporran.

  • ShaunG

    Always nice to see a young Peter Capaldi pop up in films where you'd not noticed him at the time. eg Les liaisons dangereuses, and Local Hero.

  • tosscat

    Just spotted Tim Minchin outside the belly dancing place in crouch end.

  • miss annie

    He's ever so nice. Seen him out and about locally a few times.

  • Misscara

    Boy George barged into me in the discount bookshop on Southampton Row last week. Even had the nerve to tut at me. I just responded with a very cheerful 'oh I AM sorry!'

  • ADGS

    Hugh Grant and I went through adjacent metal detectors at Parliament this evening. And then when I got to my meeting, I was sat a couple of seats from Newsnight's Michael Crick, who would have really impressed me if not for prior Grant situation.
