Everyone has a story.
Celebrity names and situations the NZ Continuity lady on my show casually dropped into conversation today when we were killing time between takes and the context in which she dropped them*:
- Powderfinger.
'When our baby was born, Bernard called us immediately! He was thrilled! He also calls us every time Australia play New Zealand in the cricket.'
- Gary Oldman.
'The last person I had a drink with in London was Gary Oldman.'
- Robbie Williams.
'Robbie Williams played soccer in the park with us and then rolled around on the ground with my dog.'
- Bono.
'A dear friend of mine who now writes children's music had a long affair with Bono, years ago.'
- Oasis.
'My partner went on tour with Oasis. He thinks they're nobs.'
- Lenny Henry.
'Lenny Henry served me booze at our staff Christmas party while I got smashed.'
- Johnny Depp.
(remembering, as though it might have slipped her mind)'Oh, that's right. And I went out for a drink with Johnny Depp.'
*I must point out that she didn't drop these names in an at all conceited way. She was merely retelling facts to me as I prodded her to give me dirt on all the celebs she had met whilst working in the UK. However, the fact that she went out for a drink with Johnny Depp and it slipped her mind is utterly unforgivable and I have resolved to slap her first thing tomorrow when I see her at the shoot.
Pity I can't tell you the one she told me about the VERY FAMOUS BRITISH COMEDIANS who played a special card game with MOUNTAINS OF COKE ON THE TABLE. It was smashing.
938 days til the next election.

ms fits, you are killing me with this slutty Bono story! (and i am only mildly offened that you linked to u2.com, and not my site). is she sure he wasn't rolling around on the grass with Robbie William's dog? sounds much more likely.
Robbie Williams rolling around on the ground with her dog sort of reminds me of this:

British comedians with coke - Adrian Edmonson and Rik Mayall?
dawn french and jennifer saunders?
Oh crap. I was possessed by Love Day Fever and vomited forth overly nice comments. I make myself ill, I swear to God.
Still, go you! Etc!
please please please make it be the entire cast of 'goodness gracious me'...
Make it 11 jess.
I think the silence is a palpable tension. Ms Fits promised the salivating masses further photos if the blog comments dwindled.
Ever hopeful,

Oh and my guesses are French, Saunders and Lenny Henry
or
Matt Lucas and David Williams
or
Jeremy Dyson, Steve Pemberton, Mark Gatiss and Reece Shearsmith.
oh just bloody tell the story
Pity I can't tell you the one she told me about the VERY FAMOUS BRITISH COMEDIANS who played a special card game with MOUNTAINS OF COKE ON THE TABLE. It was smashing. I immediately thought of the Goodies.
you can't just leave it like that! who was bono shagging?!
am not surprised by this coke comedian story somehow.
Come on, like there's a comedian alive that hasn't got at least ONE drug-related story about them... ;)
Okay, it does seem to mostly be the Australian ones, but the Poms get RIGHT in it too.
Name this comedian: "Oh, yeah, but in the industry he's more known for his drug habits than his comedy..."
Name this comedian: "I've performed on grade A drugs... those are the ones that are, ah, a little harder to get..."
Wilfred Brambell and Ernie Wise?
I bet Steve Coogan was somewhere in the vicinity...
What was the card game?
