Secret Celebrity Gossip #17

[choccydigestive]

Noel and Meg used to live near me. I remember going into a local restaurant and she was sat at a table and held my gaze, in that “don’t you know who I am way”. Leo Sayer was another who did that, when he was at the bar of the local pub; as I was ordering. (Sorry for the underlining, can’t seem to turn it off!).

Judging by that plus Leo Sayer (who I also saw where I worked) then we must have been in the same area!

What a bizarre post. I don't need schooling on how the PRS works.

I've already said that I doubt the Spice Girls had much to do with the writing, if anything. But songwriting royalties back then on big selling singles and albums were lucrative - people still bought music then in big numbers. Each member having 10% of the writers' share adds up nicely bearing in mind worldwide sales and radio/TV play. There were still mainstream pop shows back then.

Andrew Ridgeley doesn't get any of the songwriting royalties from Last Christmas.

He does get royalties from Careless Whisper, getting just over a quarter of the writers' share.

Get your facts right before you post.

Lol, truly clueless

Blue were the subject of a very funny reality show maybe five years ago: ‘Blue go mad in Ibiza’. The conceit was that they were running a bar. Unknown to Blue, the production company had arranged for a group of comedians and character actors to masquerade as locals and holidaymakers, and cause mayhem. I recognised one of them from having seen his show at the Edinburgh Festival (Milo McCabe, he was hilarious).

The look on Blue’s poor dopey little faces when things didn’t go to plan. Especially Lee Ryan and the one who weed on a cash point a few years ago and had to eat humble pie (Anthony Costa).

i think it is probably on Youtube. It might not be quite as good as Totally Scott Lee, which is attracting rave reviews on here, but it is a great watch!

Milo McCabe is amazing! Have you seen him as Troy Hawke?

Was that the redcoat with 1 hand? Would have been around 2003?

No about 2005

I see that Tessa has gone above and beyond with a daughter who looks as if she should be hanging around Chicken Cottage in Darlington.

There isn't one in Darlo is there? Unless you meant it generically?
