There are a couple of pictures floating around of my wife with John Lithgow and Bonnie Raitt. I have refused to have my picture taken with famous people who aren't somehow related to me (meaning there's probably a picture somewhere of me and Carnell Lake and a bunch of other people, but it would have been a family occasion with absolutely no star-fucking invovled).

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Carnell Lake is cool as hell. Bruins, baby.

― dan, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do pictures with IL*-famous people count? I've got dozens of me with luminaries from this very forum...

I also have a signed 12" single given to me by Cynthia Payne during her ill-conceived pop career. She wrote "to Matthew". Sigh.

― Mark C, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think Carsmile Steve may have a story here....

There is a pictuure of me somewhere taken with Brian Jacks, Superstars champion and all round hard bloke. He was my hero at the time so my grin on the photo is very broad.

I had my photo taken with Barry Sheene once, during his AKAI period. I also met Randy Mamola, but I didn't have my picture taken with him. He was in deep concentration, the deepest concentration I've ever seen. So it's true what they say, winners concentrate. I suppose Barry Sheene is the exception that proves the rule.

― Peter Miller, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

When my school did a charidee fun run thing, I had my picture taken with Todd Bennett, who came second in the Commonwealth Games 200m (athletics) in 1986. When I ran the world (well, 10km round Aldershot) for Sport Aid, Nick Cotton started my race! But I never got a photo and I regret that very much.

― Madchen, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a picture of me and billy corgan from when I played xylophone in the Pumpkins!

― james, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jesus wept.

― Nick, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, not really unless you count friends. Even when I was little I found that whole Snaps With The Stars concept a bit silly but would make an exception to my rule for Johnny Cash, and that is IT. But a number of famous folk I know have walls of shame where polaroids are taken of visitors to their homes. Emma from Lush had one that was really impressive.

― suzy, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a photo of me presenting the Queen with a leather bound programme of the evening's events at the 1987 Royal Film Performance.

― Nick, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to see that photo.

― Madchen, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If I were famous I think I would collect photos of my self with non- famous people to keep me down toearth or something.

Actually I wouldn't.

― Pete, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

One of me with MASONNA. Unfortunately some drunk yob who worked at Highbury Garage in London took it and never gave me a copy. When I asked him for one he accused me of thinking that this entire world revolved around me.

I also have some of me & THE LEAGUE OF GENTLEMEN main guys. I'll post them if I ever scan them into my computer.

― Kodanshi, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

At the Photographer's Gallery, Great Newport Street until February:

A non-linear series of Lomo snaps depicting me and Richard Briers in a fist-fight outside The Leamington in Acton, 1995.

"Banal" - Time Out.

― Michael Jones, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd rather have a photo of Nick presenting Queen with a leather bound programme of... what was it again?

― Peter Miller, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

momus took a digital picture with me but i do not have it

― anthony, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have a couple taken with Chris de Burgh. Gale

― Gale Deslongchamps, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

sorry? what? me with famous ppl? erm, i think you've lost me there cabbage, i have a pic of billy bragg and boris johnson that i took at glasto, but i'm not in it, i'm virtually never in photos, not mine anyway...

― carsmilesteve, Saturday, 10 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

not you Steve, but Meg's Dad, now *that's* a celebrity photo

― cabbage, Saturday, 10 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oh *that* photo, a-ha. yes, father-in-law worked on time out for donkey's years, and in our lounge we have a photo of him interviewing robert de niro which is *soooooooo* kewl, de niro is casually talking whilst steve (f-i-l not me) scribbles away...

― carsmilesteve, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey I met Simon Reynolds last night! Bus!! SR = MY versh of TOTAL FAME. But no snaps. Paul Kennedy, long-time lurker, was playing his 2- step records at Guernica on Ave B and it was quite good, or so I'm told; I got there after he'd stopped. Ah well. Paul's a v. nice guy with a lovely wife-person. Class.

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have pics ov spotty teenage me w/ MIDGE URE & WARREN CANN from ULTRAVOX. Go on. Try and beat that. You can't, can you?

― Norman Phay, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey I met Simon Reynolds last night! Bus!! SR = MY versh of TOTAL FAME.

What happened? SR is my version of total fame too, I was totally intimidated by him at his book signing. Sad little me.

Come to think of it, I think pictorial evidence of me and Damon "Freddy Krueger" Albarn exists. But that was because I was shoved against him by crowds of screaming girlies, not of my own accord. I blame my sister for this trauma, she's the one that wuvs him and was snapping the pictures.

― Nicole, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Its a really bad picture of me, but Jay Ferguson is standing next to me.

― Mr Noodles, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Momus has a picture of him and me .

― anthony, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have one with Grandaddy, but I look pretty lame in that pic so I doubt I'll ever scan it.

― bnw, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ok, the Great Simon Reynolds Story: we hung around the bar and drank. :) I berated him, but not strongly enough, for putting me off Bang the Party at Frank's; Caroline talked to him for awhile about blessedly non-music related subjects.. and he wants mark s to finish his book. *cringes* hey I didn't say it!

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

All Simon Reynolds stories are GREAT. World's nicest man and all that.

― suzy, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

*i* want mark s to finish his book

― mark s, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

dan post your john lithgow pic!

― chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 17:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a pic with Veruca Salt before they changed the line-up.
That's it.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 17:09 (twenty-two years ago)

i had my picture taken with jon spencer (twice), but there's no way i will show it to anyone (at least while i'm sober). he looks ubercool, and i look wasted and small. on the second picture he put my glasses on, looking even cooler. i looked even worse (see a four-eyed without the glasses on? that's me on that pic).
i will deny i ever said this.

― joan vich (joan vich), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to find the John Lithgow pic first! I think it's buried in a box somewhere.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a photo of me interviewing Tall Paul in a forrest in Estonia. He is sitting on a tree stump and I am kneeling so it looks a bit suss. But it isn't.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 30 October 2002 20:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i have a photo with lennox lewis that i got his then manager frank maloney to take. it was in las vegas. on the same holiday i had my picture taken with jackie mason at the breakfast buffet but it didn't come out. these are the only two occasions when i have indulged and i have now grown out of it.

― michael wells (michael w.), Thursday, 31 October 2002 10:14 (twenty-two years ago)

i have an anti-celebrity aura around me that spreads for miles. i've never met anyone famous, but everyone else i know has, and all seem to have famous friends. fuck famous people, i say. but that's because i'm jealous and bitter.

― g-kit (g-kit), Thursday, 31 October 2002 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a photo of me at age 4 showing my sister's male My Little Pony to Whoopi Goldberg in our loungeroom. I'll see if I can find it.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 31 October 2002 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

What was Whoopie Goldberg doing in your loungeroom?

(sorry)

― Miss Laura, Thursday, 31 October 2002 14:32 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a long story.

Can't find that photo at the moment, but in the meantime, here's my dad and Russell Crowe:

blimey tim, your dad looks like dennis hopper.

the name of the thread is 'pictures of you and *famous* people'. :)

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 1 November 2002 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

define famous

― H (Heruy), Friday, 1 November 2002 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

There's a picture of me (looking customarily ungruntled) having a pint in the vicinity of Mark E. Smith (looking customarily ungruntled) on the All Tomorrow's Parties yahoo group photo page. But I'm not linking to it because I look rub.

Only famous in the Indie Rock God sense.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Friday, 1 November 2002 10:08 (twenty-two years ago)

define famous

jeez, you know what i mean. look at the little emoticon, he's smiling at you!

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 1 November 2002 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

oops, sorry michael, the rest of my post actually got cut off, what i meant to say was define famous as(and not you specifically) 'coz some of the pepole listed are people i don't know and i'm sure that is the case for some of mine,
so what is the defining criteria for fame?

― H (Heruy), Friday, 1 November 2002 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

hey, no probs H. for what it's worth the OED online dictionary defines 'famous' simply as "known about by many people".

― michael wells (michael w.), Friday, 1 November 2002 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

eleven months pass...

wow, a picture thread with no pictures.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 20 October 2003 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I never think to take a picture when I see a famous person!! I'll ask my mom to find the photo she has of me and David Lynch, that's the only celebrity photo I have.

― Allyzay, Monday, 20 October 2003 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

is photoshop allowed? if so then i have met Elvis, the Pope, Idi Amin and 80s alien puppet sensation Gilbert, and i can prove it

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 20 October 2003 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Somewhere in my parents' house, there's a photo of me at age 10 with Biff Henderson from the Letterman show.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 20 October 2003 18:18 (twenty-one years ago)

WTF Spencer, is that that freestyle kid!?!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 20 October 2003 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

it is!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 20 October 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Spencer, you look like Bruce Campbell in that picture.

― adaml (adaml), Monday, 20 October 2003 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

(that's a good thing)

― adaml (adaml), Monday, 20 October 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

suzy get yr scanner on!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 20 October 2003 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm shocked and disgusted by your creepy sexual harrassment of Spencer. I have never done such a thing to him.

― Allyzay, Monday, 20 October 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I just realized that the other guy in that pic might very well be Rob Lowe but his celebritiosity is outshined by the freestyle kid and Spencer Chow's irrevocable hottness.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 20 October 2003 19:27 (twenty-one years ago)

stevem, Gilbert was hardly a "sensation", though.

― adaml (adaml), Monday, 20 October 2003 19:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i beg to differ

The only ACTUAL me-with-famous-person photo is (yo Pinefox) me with Lloyd Cole and I am giving him 'bunny ears'.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 20 October 2003 22:03 (twenty-one years ago)

in tonight's installment Spencer Chow is the offspring of Patrick Swayze and Fred Ward

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Monday, 20 October 2003 22:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a pic of me at age 3 with the chick who played Lt. Uhru on Star Trek and a tribble. Alas, no scanner.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Monday, 20 October 2003 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey, I have a picture of me with Lloyd Cole, too! And his lovely wife Beth. I think he was wearing a trucker hat. Too bad I don't have a scanner.

Who's the other guy in the photo, Spencer? He's, you know, uh, not bad looking, you know.

― Arthur (Arthur), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 03:24 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, that's my high school friend and now co-worker Chris.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

and how could I forget?

http://www.rotovibe.com/images/gareth/spencer_and_arthur_ives.jpg

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:14 (twenty-one years ago)

That is still the greatest photograph I have ever seen of anyone, ever, in the history of ILX. It really looks like Burl Ives is there! And, dude, that's a great photo of you, but you also look kind of frightening in it. Like you and Burl are plotting something HORRIBLE.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I am so glad that I found this!

http://www.thelollies.co.uk/images/bangles.jpg

This is me and the Bangles rocking out backstage in Manchester. Their dressing room was so much nicer than ours!

― kate (kate), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 08:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh my god, that scares me. (Not Kate and the Bangles, but Burl Ives)

― Mandee, Tuesday, 21 October 2003 08:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Kate what a great pic!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 08:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay Kate pic! Now that is rock. And yes, Spencer has never looked more attractively devilish.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 October 2003 13:38 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, this is kinda breaking the rules, but why not? This is a drawing of me and my then-bf done by T*dd H*ynes in which he somehow made me look like Bush Sr. and my bf look like Bush Jr.

Notice how he's having trouble keeping his gigantic head upright! (I occasionally have this problem too)

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually that's a picture of Amy Yasbeck and Tom Hanks on the set of a Bosom Buddies episode. Don't be fooled, folks!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Saturday, 31 January 2004 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Noddy Holder, Kylie, Atomic Kitten, Emma Bunton, Scary Spice, Richard Branson, Michael Eavis, Travis, Stephen Gateley, um about a million more. I gave them all to my sister to put in her pub so she didn't have to put up pictures of the locals in fancy dress, and also when I went to visit her in the sticks the locals would buy me drinks while I regaled them with stories of London media (sister is tight landlady and says no free drinks; maybe just as well if she wants to make any money). I still haven't been to her pub.
