Do you know someone famous

by RukiaComment Published at 21:2121:2111 comments11 comments59 Visits59 VisitsReport

I was on facebook just now and saw someone I used to go to school with and it made me think of this Q for ya all.

Do ya know someone famous?

I guess with my family backgroud I know a few indirectly. But the girl I used to go to school with was Belinda Lee Ried aka lead singer from the band Lash. They were big in 2000. It made me laugh to see her pic on Facebook.

My Pop is well known to a few West Aussies and a few die hard rock and roll fans and ppl who listen to curtian uni (I think thats the one) My pop has a lot of the music they use from the 50's. And my Nan and po are well known in the I guess ya call it the high society of older ppl (didnt want to use the word oldies. LOL) here in Perth. Its cool cause I have got to meet some wicked ppl at family dinners.

My great Aunty E in the Uk was engaged to Reginal Dyite ( I think thats how you spell it) and just before their wedding he cancelled it. :( but we have some lovely pics of him and my aunty. She still talks to him too apparently. so thats cool.

My best friend as a kid was on the front cover of the newspaper here in Perth in the late 80's when he went to a new school in the contry here and it wasnt wheelchair friendly. His parents fought really hard and made a lot of schools change their schools. They won and he was in paper saying that this kid did this and won. It was great. Sadly he died a few years later from his Muscular Distrophy.

come on and tell ua your famous ppl, whethers its a relative who is a model or and great lecture at a uni who wrote some wonderful paper on something. Even if its ya kid in the local paper.

Ok, I went to high school with Lauren Jackson, the Australian Women's Basketball hot shot, now playing for a US team I believe.

Had a job offer from the Australian Equestrian team during the 2000 olympics, so got to meet most of the team and the NZ equestrian team too!!!!!  Mark Todd really is a nice person! lol.

My step dad is 'famous' in soil science circles, both in Australia and around the world.

Les was almost an AFL player, until he stuffed his knees (just as wel, or we would never have met! lol)

Re: Do you know someone famous

Ummmm, well I don't really "know" anyone famous but I have met a few. I went to school with Jason Gillespie (australian crickter), Nathan Eagleton (plays aussie rules football I think for west coast now), used to play hockey against Sarah Mcleod (former lead singer of the band the superjesus), there was a guy that worked at the backpackers I stayed at when I first moved to brissy. He was best mates with Bernard Fanning from Powderfinger so we used to go the pub with them when they were in town, have met the West Indies cricket team and the Australian circket team, A guy that was in my class was Jimmy Barnes drummer. I think him and his older brother have their own band now. Bob Ansett lives in the same area as me and Dad has become good mates with him and Sir Richard Branson owns Makepeace Island which is a short ferry ride over the river from my place. Don't know if that one counts as I haven't met him but I have met the island lol!!!

Like Angie I have been in the local paper a few times back home, once for our formal and once at a rodeo where we were for a hens night.
My brother knows a few, he knows Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, and was on Rove once and met Avril Lavigne (he worked at a wildlife park in Sydney and when Avril was on Rove she wanted to meet a koala and Todd was the one who brought it on for her)

Re: Do you know someone famous

I can't say that I know someone famous..
My husband on the other hand.. A kid he went to school with in Elementary & Junior High is now a singer for a rock band... So that's kinda awesome actually!

But nope.. Don't think I do..

That's a very good question though!!

Re: Do you know someone famous

WEll, I wouldn't say famous, but I've had a few friends and family (including my Dad) who have published books - mostly very specialised academic stuff, but a friend is just getting her first children's book published here

My kids have been in the local paper a few times - hey it's a small town....

Otehrwise, sorry, no-one famous here....
