12 celebrity clangers to lighten your mood!
I met a lot of my heroes. I also had a few that I look back on and think "what the hell were you thinking". Here's my favourite funnies to cheer up Hump Day!
Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
One the first snaps by my friend Richard Young. We were at a store launch for Versace I believe. Truly extraordinary tea bag tanning from Donnatella Versace! And YES I have a mullet…
Tess Daly looks MILES younger these days hosting Strictly. Especially considering this shot must have been close to 25 years ago. I think we were at the polo. Top marks for naughties wrap around shades, Tess.
My love for Pink runs deep. Always has. Always will. This was backstage at the Brits. I spied her walking across the floor to her table and literally screeched for her to wait. I’m wearing my first Paul Smith shirt. It cost a fortune and I can vividly remember the sweat patches it showed were beyond humiliating. Fair to say we’ve both improved over time ;-)
The days when pictures were always taken on a chuck away camera. Backstage at Top of the Pops with Mariah Carey. And no, that isn’t Judy Finnegan dressed up as her security. But it’s uncanny, I’ll give you that.
This one was before I was even a proper journalist. I believe it was at a local cinema on my future local paper’s “patch” and I got accreditation and went to see Patsy Kensit as I heard she was appearing. I look so young it hurts. All that natural collagen.
WHY WAS GEORGE CLOONEY STARING AT ME WITH SEXY EYES. Kinda sexy look too. Hiya, George.
Steps were on the comeback trail for the first time. I was called last minute to go and see them. It was a Friday night. They were all so late and it took forever. But the styling, the colours and the lolz of this picture will never not fail to make me LOL.
Kylie was always a joy to see. Just puts into perspective how teeny she is. Adore this one.
This was in Malta. I was a huge Scissor Sisters fan. For some reason I decided to wear sparkly leggings. Absolutely mental.
Stevie Wonder. He did know this was being taken, promise. I think. We won’t discuss my hair in this. Ever.
This was one of the weirdest encounters ever. Backstage at dancing with the Stars in LA. Susan Boyle was a tricky interview, bless her. She didn’t enjoy eye contact. So you were never quite sure if she was happy with the interview. Add Donny Osmond into the mix and this became a very bizarre scenario. Proper fromage.
Saving the best for last. Looking hefty and sporting a deep V tee with Snoop Dogg. He’s actually sat on a throne in an LA hotel. Pop fact, the hotel had a staff member follow him around to “spritz” with air freshener for the entire day as the stench of weed was so overwhelming. Legend.
Speak soon, Kids. Hope these made you chuckle.
I must be showing either my age or overwhelming contempt of ‘celebrity’, but I have to ask, as politely as I can, who are you?
I'm more interested in the evolution of your hair! It tells the story of late 20th to the present!
