It's competition time folks...
Yes, that's right, it's time for another competition. And like last time there will be real prizes, IF the winner emails me their address in time (yes Trev, you are too late).
I'm going to be having a little holiday for a couple of weeks, and so I thought that I should do a little post before I go away. And what better way to revive our quiet blogging community than a post that has David Hasselhoff and a competition in it.
So here's the Hoff, and I think he's hooked on a feeling.
Beautiful.
But wait, there's more! In association with the 2006 Find a Fascinating Fact Contest, and the Hasselhoff for President coalition, Half Arsed Blogging Productions presents to you...
The 2006 Spot a Stupendous Celebrity Challenge
I would like to hear of your brushes with the beautiful, gifted and rich people that are celebrities. Entries will be rigorously investigated due to previous malicious and underhand cheating. Photos will gain extra points, and once again, the panels decision is final.
The following people are excluded from entering this competition:
Jon Matthews
Until such a time that he/she is able to produce a satisfactorily penitent message to the panel.
I shall start: At an Arsenal game, I once went to the toilet next to Matt 'Yeah I know' Lucas. Aka Andy, Aka George Dawes (he's a baby). It's over to you. See you in a couple of weeks.
Long live the Hoff!

I saw pete postlethwaite driving on the bristol road the other day,
and I saw preston go into a shop in brighton.
both A list I'm sure you will agree
Living in Loughton meant I've crossed paths with a number of Premiership footballers, most often Teddy Sheringham. To my shame, I didn't set fire to him like I'd always promised myself. Arsenal man mountain Sol Campbell came into the music store I did my work experience in to pick up an R'n'B compilation too.
But I'm never going to win this Tim, the only real celebrity scalp I can think of (Ishmael is probably pushing it, yes?) I share with you anyway - Saint Kriss of Akabusi. AWLRAIGHT!
And I can't believe Lucie didn't mention that she knows Gandalf the White personally.
kate, you can't use the beddingfield thing.everyone's met him!
Just watched the video
THAT IS AWESOME.
the hoff is a God.
claim to fame #2 my father is bilbo baggins
Dan - I just want them to feel they're doing well, I hate for others to lose on behalf.
Ok - I've met Chris Akabusi (no idea how you spell it), Ant and Dec just a month ago, sat 4 metres away from Roman Abramovich, seen Catherine Zeta Jones through a restaurant window, and my good friend Ben Brown was a body double for the hobbits in lord of the rings trilogy. My friend Chris lives with a few of the Bedingfields and my mate Matt's dad is regularly on radio 4. Aled Jones has been to my house and I whistled “I'm walking in there air” as he left. I'm good friends with Mal Pope (a welsh hero who wrote the theme tune for fireman Sam) and Bonnie Tyler nearly crashed into my car as she left my house after visiting Mal. Andy Hunter who has his songs on the Matrix, the Italian Job and Tomb Raider has his studio in the back of our house and is a good friend. He also regularly meets with Bill Gates and other Microsoft mafia. Want anymore?
My Auntie is the health Corrispondamt for the BBC and My cousin was in a film with none other than.... Steven Segal.
My uncle is Michael Jackson... he actually is.
I know Jono West!!!
Can I have my prize now please?
I had lunch with ant and dec! forgot about that.
and My dad is mates with the man that wrote 'I just died in your arms tonight'
And I was on CDUK
And when I was three, I met stu francis who presented crackajack and kissed him on the cheek, and he said 'ooh I could crush a grape!" a very significant event in my life.
to be honest, celebrity schmoozing is just an everyday event in my life
I met cliff richard
give the man the prize. Luke I bow to you by association
I'm never going to win this but maybe I can in some way win by proxy. If I may, Lucie...
Lucie has got a famous family. She has an aunt, another aunt and an uncle on IMDb, all actors. Her dad is also on it, undoubtedly his finest role being the auctioneer who sold Del's watch in the final great Only Fools and Horses.
Greatest of all, though, her grandpa was Jack Watling, a famous wartime actor. Mainly did theatre but also starred in at least one film with Richard Attenborough. He used to escort the Queen to the theatre who later admitted to Lucie's nan that "she fancied him". Jack Watling is why Sir Ian McKellen recognised Lucie when they met one time. That's by no means an exhaustive list of Ms Matthew's celebrity contacts but surely it's a winner.
I know I am officially banned but I have met Catherine Zeta-Jones and her (more famous at the time) boyfriend John Leslie who gave me a signed photograph. I have also met Colin Charvis and served drinks to Gavin Henson and Charlotte Church.
Appropriately penitent message is in the making.
no
I love trivia, it occupies most of my brain. I love this trivia especially: The Hoff is to return as Michael Knight in Knight Rider: The Movie, in production at the moment...
london means have seen lots of famouses but most so obscure they only register in my head. most recent was neil kinnock looking lardy and ginger. oh and of course william g....
forget knightrider - did you know the Hoff is in panto in wimbledon this christmas? i kid you not. maybe I'll arrange a group outing
count me in. I'm hooked on a feeling.
I'm back from the sunny States and in good health you'll all be pleased to hear. Although I found out that I was pre-hypertensive while over there, but hopefully its all good now after the holiday.
I will be anouncing the winner of the competition in the next couple of days, and I may even share with you some of the piccies and scrapes I had while down in the ol' South. You lucky things...
watch out for DVT's then.
btw, I dont know if they told you wrong, but there is no such thing as pre-hypertensive. well, there is, but all healthy people are pre-hypertensive. that just means your blood pressure isnt too high!
I had tea with the Queen.
I'm the hoff's lovechild.
Tim, please make me the winner, or at least give me fourth place, I've been feeling really poorly and stuff...
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAA!!!
Due to the gross misconduct of some of the entrants of the previous contest, the panel are having to clarify some of the entries to be certain of their authenticity. The oanel will also be issuing some remarks on the entries thus far:
Kate. Unfortunately, as Jodie has pointed out, EVERYONE has met D. Beddingfield. Also EVERYONE'S friends cousin is in Athlete.
Tim O. Volume does not always equate to quality. However, Aled Jones is a good 'spotting', as is Catherine Zeta Jones.
Mister David. It's a pleasure to have you popping by.
Jodes. The panel requests more information on your lunch with Ant and Dec. Ta.
Luke. I don't think its a surprise to say that you are in a strong position with your brush with Sir Cliff. However, you have lost points by not refering to him as a knight of the realm.
Jon. You were right. YOU ARE BANNED!
Bexter. It is good to see you adding some much needed gravitas to the competition by adding a politicians name to the proceedings. If only Lucinda was here...
Justyn. You get cudos for nearly killing an ex-Tottenham player. Very good.
Justyn and Luke. Are you both talking about the same occasion of meeting Sir Clifford of Richardland?
Lucie. Well done Lucie. I'm very impressed that Daniel managed to get you to to enter the competition with such vigour. You have a daunting list. Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen's house eh. What did the house look like? Bonny Langford, Bob Holness, Matthew Kelly and Captain Birdseye are all legends in thir own right. Well done. You have truly entered in to the competition in the right spirit.
Liz. Not to say that I don't trust the Welsh, but the happenings of the last competition has without doubt put a dent in my affinity for them. Please could you shed some more light on your tea with HRH.
Cat. A very excellent late entry in the form of a truly A-list celebrity. Al PAcino is quite the hollywood superstar.
The reuslts will be announced by the end of this week.
how come you trust lucie but not me? she seems to have a surprising amount of celeb connections to be true...
the ant and dec explaination:
A friend of mine worked on CD:UK several years ago, so she invited me along to see the filming, and after for lunch. it just so happened that the tiny wee lads were lunching at the same time, so we sat with them. to be fair, I was stunned into silence for most of the meal, so probably wasnt electric company. I did manage to get through it without screaming 'I LOVE YOU' though.
and just in case you want my 'Hoff's love child' claim verified, I have the DNA samples
Thanks Jodie for the explanation. If you ever meet Lucie, you'll see that she's got that kind of star quality that only a luvvie could have.
I believe you about the Hoff love child thing- the eyes give it away. And the not so subtle surname- Hoffman, Crossman. eh, eh. I see what he's done. when he found out about the pregnancy, he was cross- or in a huff (hoff if you're a yankie). So as a sneaky way of masking his dastadly actions he named thee 'crossman'. But don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
Awesome story Jus. Check out the winners...
