Are you "star-struck" by famous people?
by free2beme ini have had several encounters in my life with "famous" people.
one time, when i managed a movie theatre, ron howard came into the theatre with his family and sister's family.
it was a little time before the show and people in the lobby were bothering him, so we took him to the projection booth to wait and he was actually a nice guy.

oh now i remember some other celeb encounters i had. you guys in the northern hemisphere won't have a clue who i'm talkin' bout, (you're all so provincial), but never mind.
A couple of years ago I helped organise a fundraiser ball for our local proposed cancer outpatients centre. We tried to get celebs to attend to up the profile. Paula Duncan came.......she was a big name a decade or so ago, but now she's better known for her spray and wipe commercials. (her sister carmen duncan is in the states, is a fashion designer and i think was in a soapie for a while ??some hospital one)
anyway my husband had to pick paula up from the airport to bring her to our small town, about 3 and a half hours drive away. We had VIP complimentary accommodation etc donated for her. She played the superstar, H rang me on the way down and Paula wanted massage, hair appt, waxing etc when she arrived. I was ringing around like a madwoman trying to organise that for her at the 11th hour. when she arrived the masseuse et al came to her hotel room, and they all drank margaritas. My husband then had to tune the tv for her as she wanted to watch the rugby and the tv wasn't co-operating. He also gave her some medical info.
After that he was describing himself as Chauffer, TV technician, and personal physician to the stars! lol She was great fun, bubbly personality, but a total spin out!!
I've also had some dealings with Pam Burridge, Ex world champ surfer, who lives in our district. Pam has been supportive of local issues, donating items for our cancer appeal, she's cool. My daughter's first surfboard was one of pam's old ones that she sold me, which my daughter was pretty proud of.
also used to see sorrel wilby, tv presenter, at our local gym. she is down to earth too. Has now moved to Norfolk Island now.

welcome to the forum joe
I lurked for a while before I posted too, got the feel of the place, got to know - and like some of the personalities. It's a good place for support and information, and to know that you are not alone in what you're going through.
I was born and raised a witness, parents, grandparents (both sides), cousins, everyone! I also got out when I was 21......long time ago now!..............pretty hard...........and you know for many years it was in the back of my mind that...................awwww maybe it is the truth???...............but I just can't do it............
now I know it's not the truth...........
best wishes for your journey....

wo doof
talk about being in the right place at the right time! a friend of mine went to music college in sydney and had the opportunity to jam with joe satriani, we were just talking about this thursday night.....he went to see satriani a few years later (last year), in concert at enmore rang up the promoter and got back stage passes, satriani came in the room and recognises him...........hi fives! pretty cool.
I just realised i never answered the original question I haven't met anyone famous, but think I would probably get a bit tongue tied. Met Stuart Diver once at a conference (he's not famous, really, but has celebrity status due to being the only survivor of the Thredbo landslide) He was down to earth, his parents are scottish, (me too). my H met Barnsey in a small shop a couple of years ago, H said hey Jimmy!, barnsey said hey, then bought his jacket!! we saw him at twin towns a couple of weeks ago when we were on hol. good concert, but not as impressive as "up close and personal with led zep"!

You'll have a great time. I think Fiji is a perfect place for a honeymoon. so laidback, peaceful and relaxing,not to mention beautful, warm climate and the friendly people. it's ideal. we went when my first was nine months old and whenever we went for dinner with her the staff passed her between each other cuddling her. we had the best time, i'd love to go back.
I quite like your idea of having the honeymoon some weeks after the wedding, if you'd gone straight away you'd have been back to normality for a while now. As it is you had the high of the wedding, settling into your new home, and now another high of the holiday...
have fun
D (mmm yummy tropical fruit cocktails on a sunset beach!)

beard, muscle shirt, "in your face" attitude, sense of humour.
that'd be good!...........
that was funny..........I don't know if you have discovered "Kath and Kim" yet in the States. It's a top Aussie sitcom, making it big in the UK now so I hear.
They did a funnneeee one when pregnant Kimmy and her long suffering husband Brett went to Ikea to buy the cot an other baby accessories............laugh
I also liked the bit in the Jackass movie when the lads go into a hardware store and poop in a display toilet. hehehe
Nothing wrong with a bit of "toilet humour"
