celebrity spot

I was just on the phone to my friend and waiting to have hot choc with another friend when lo and behold, Mr Oscar Winner Russell 'Gladiator' Crowe of Gladiator/Beautiful Mind fame and his son walked passed me.

When I lived in London I used to see famous people quite frequently but I haven't seen so many since being here. Eric Bana and some minor TV stars is all, but I think Russell is a good one to add to my 'celebrity spotting's'.

I used to see him a bit at Broadway. I think he likes to go to its shopping centre.
The thing that I like about Aussies is that when they see celebs, they tend less to get all worked up than people in the US. To us, celebs are just like everybody else.

I saw an aussie actor on Friday in the supermarket.....but I can't remember his name - one of those guys that's in all the aussie movies as minor parts - I told the boys - that's a famous actor - and they looked at me blankly as if to say 'yeah, so what mum'!!!!

Yeah, it was kind of a 'so what' moment really. Russell on the other hand is genuine fame spotting!

Wow! The big Russ! I have a view of Russ's Wolloomoolo apartment from my office, but I've never seen him!

When I was in London earlier this year my bit of celeb spotting was Miss London-It-Girl herself, Sienna Miller. I saw her at a red carpet premiere for her latest movie in Leicester Square. I was walking past and saw the crowds and the red carpet so hung around to see who would eventually emerge from a limo. I even managed to get some shots!

I know quite a good one eh... When I lived just outside London my friend and I decided to go into Leicester Square to watch a movie. We rock up and there are heaps of people around, the BAFTAS - the UK OSCARS. We went into Burger King (classy) to watch all the people show up on the red carpet.. We saw heaps of people - it was fun. I called my Mum and was telling her all the people I could see.
