Celeb Watch

December 5, 2008 | 1 Comment

Gawking at celebs is a national pastime in London. An occasional series updated whenever I spot a celebrity in London and If I ever get a phone from this millenium then I’ll post pics here too . . . unless of course the 3AM girls demand an exclusive.

Chris Evans, 4th December 2008:

Being driven westwards down Great Smith Street in a cobalt Ferrari with the reg ‘1 FAB’ by a man plainly not unfamiliar with the concepts of pies. The former Big Breakfast star looked cool chatting on his phone while the bright winter sunshine lit him up like a Christmas tree. I wish I knew more about cars so I could tell you what the model was but suffice to say it was very tasty.

Ronnie Wood, 24th September 2008:

It’s been a while since I updated this post even though in the past year I’ve sighted Richard E. Grant and not a few minor UK-soap actoresses. Lame stuff I know (apart from Richard Grant of course) so no update but today was an A+ encounter.

Joe’s Salt Beef cafe on Thayer Street is a great caf and the place to go if you like salt beef with gherkins and mustard so hot it leaves your sinuses begging for mercy. I was enjoying the food when in walked Ron and a bunch of mates. Contrary to popular reports and the July entry on his own website, he didn’t look like a man in rehab. Settling down right at the next table and looking trimmer than a starved whippet he tucked into his cappucino and was plainly in good spirits as he joked with his mates. Keep on rollin’ Ron.

Chris Eubank, 24th August 2007:
Driving down Brook street past Claridges in his huge juggernaut cab tooting his horn and grinning at everyone who looked up. This is the second time I’ve seen this behemoth . . . does he drive it because it’s unclampable? Anyway, Chris parked up (quite expertly considering) got out and had his pic taken with a few people before climbing back in and driving off down Bond Street. The purpose of this fleeting visit? Haven’t a scooby . . . . . suggestions please. I could still hear the horn in the distance twenty minutes later. Must be tough driving that thing in and out of Brighton.

Michael Palin, 25th September 2007:

Walking along the south Bank heading north to the Waterloo bridge steps over the BFI. The former Python and now professional globetrottoer had that unkempt-but-fashionable look that celebs seem to do so well.

    This week I’ve been spotting Dave Mackay (Hearts, Spurs, Derby and Scotland), one of the Proclaimer twins AND Sir Ming Campbell, ball within half a mile of my gaff. So there.
