This post is inspired by a post on The Magic Cauldron from Thursday afternoon, myself and Mittens have been playing a high stakes game of “Celebrity Encounter Poker” in the comments section (not to mention that Evermore were in my kitchen on Wednesday). I always find celebrity encounters amusing and I wanna share some with you and in return I hope you guys can tell us about some of yours.

I’m a major celeb myself so celeb encounters are a daily occurrence for me and I tend not to remember them, the following are the few that I could remember today…

Aridjah

I met Ardijah at Centre City in New Plymouth when I was about five years old. It was about the time when ‘Time Makes The Wine’ was a hit and I got my ‘Take A Chance’ cassette signed.

*It was about the most star-struck I’ve ever been in my life.

Tara Reid

I caught a flight to Singapore earlier this year and the first person I saw when I hopped on the plane was a scraggly women in a pink velour tracksuit that looked like Tara Reid. After speaking to a flight attendant it was confirmed that the woman I saw was in fact the notorious booze-hag Tara Reid, the whole of economy class got very excited and for the remainder of the flight to our stop-over in Brisbane the hori in front of me talked loudly about the “hoe” and “slut” at the front of the plane and tried to call out to her. I would have approached her and asked her to show us her disfigured tits if I wasn’t such a pussy. Tara Reid was on the cover of the newspaper in Brisbane ‘cos she was the celebrity entrant in some trashy beauty pageant there.

Tera Patrick

I met Tera Patrick two years ago at Erotica, for those of you that don’t know who she is one of the most famous pornstars in the world, she’s more famous for her supermodel good looks than her actual “talent” though. I got her to sign a DVD, people always spell my name wrong so I handed her a piece of paper with my name written in block capitals so that she could spell it right. Her husband Evan Seinfeld was also there, he interrogated me about my DVD, I think he thought I stole it. He was the bassist and vocalist in a hardcore band called Biohazard, they once did a remix of ‘Slam’ with Onyx but I’m sure they’re famous for plenty of other shit.

Wayne Anderson

Last Monday when I caught the Link bus to town Wayne Anderson hopped on the bus and after rummaging around in his bag for loose change he couldn’t come up with $1.60 for the fare so he had to get off the bus and walk. Upon reflection I feel like a cunt for having a laugh at his expense, I know how difficult it is to make a living from music in New Zealand, I probably should have offered to pay for his ride.

Clarke Gayford

Clarke Gayford (formerly of C4) turned up at my flat last year for a big house party we had to farewell a flatmate, he brought his computer with him and ended up DJing for an hour or two. Not just that, but he was a pretty fucking good DJ, who would have thought eh.
