Scarlett Johansson

I've seen a lot of female celebs and most are totally underwhelming. I saw Paris Hilton for example at North Bondi and if it wasn't Paris, I'd not even have noticed her.

I reckon the two hottest celebs who look hot IRL, Scarlett and Hugh Jackman.

Paris is a skank and if it wasn't for her grandfathers money nobody would ever take any notice of her. I've never rated her in the looks department. Scarlet on the other hand looks absolutely stunning.

Funniest thing I've ever seen.
Paris was strutting it around North Bondi near the place we call 'The grassy knoll'. It's also knows as 'The wet patch' as it probably has the hottest women per sq/m on the planet sitting around in bikinis.

So Paris was strutting around with her minders and a camera and sound guy, she used the beach shower and the heckles started coming in...can someone disinfect the shower, is that you Paris, we can't recognise you without a #$@% in your mouth.

She proceeded up the beach to where the non-locals / tourists tend to clump and she got mobbed by the plebs.

I used to talk to Ernie Dingo often - he frequented the same coffee shop as me when he worked here in the Perth CBD.

I've spoken to Ben Elton on several occasions too.

He lives in Fremantle for 6 months of the year, so it's not uncommon to see him in one of the local pubs down there.

While in a bar in Vegas Brad Garrett sat right next to me. Bought me a drink, said hello and left about 10 minutes later. I had no idea who in the hell he was until other bar patrons told me. Apparently, he played Jerry's mechanic on Seinfeld. One tall dude, though.

I thought he was great in 'Everybody Loves Raymond'

hes good at stand up as well....

I saw him looking at it and grinning, he saw me looking at it and at the same time we both said 'tell him he's dreamin'.

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Oh yeah, I played an extra once.

A movie being made in Melbourne.

Got to meet ... Jesus, can't remember his name. Will have to google it.

I don't consider politicians 'famous', but I've met a pile of those bastards.

Gillard.

Rudd.

Shorten.

Abbott (he used my office for an afternoon).

Whitlam (family connections).

Fraser (my all time favourite - a lovely man, and his wife was very charming).

Bill Clinton (for about 2.3 seconds).

Dunstan (family connection again).

Mark McGowan (see him every few weeks).

Howard (stood next to him at that milk bar near Kirribilli House once, while he was buying the paper or milk or something. He was wearing the Aussie track suit - about 6am).

Thatcher (in Austria, many years ago - she was about 50mtrs away. Used to holiday there often, so I'm told)
