I think everyone is slightly tarring all so called 'celebs' (stupid word) with the same brush! You will get stuck up, rude, offensive people in all walks of life from actors in soaps to so called 'real' people :confused:

A couple of years ago Tony Hadley got my suitcase off the carousel for me at Luton airport and I wasn't star struck at all!!!!!! And he'd flown Easyjet ...now that's what I call slumming it ;)
 
I am a bit confused Debz.......nobody has said that celebs are "rude and offensive". I merely said that i did not get the fascination with them :confused::confused:.
 
I also never said they were rude either :confused: My point was that the people who are currently called celebs in my mind aren't , your point about Tony was perfect, you didn't have to say Tony Hadley, you know the guy who is the singer with Spandau Ballet, he is a celeb like Pitt and the others.
 
To be fair, debz didn't actually say that anyone said they were rude and offensive, it was merely a comment about people in general.
 
Thanks for the clarification Bella
 
Yes, merely Debz's observation of the "Celeb's" of this world.....can't agree with her more....good & bad in all walks of life! They must hold a great fascination for a lot of folk....I think there are about three different threads on them....I like the one about "Famous People in the Port" love them or hate them.....we have something in common with them!!:)....their great choice in a holiday destination!! If they come and spend their money in PP that can only be a good thing!!:)
 
I never meant to imply that anyone had said 'celebs' were rude or offensive merely that you will get a wide range of characters in life whether they are faces from tv or 'real' people. So called celebs are recognised when they are seen out of their usual environment and are real people made of flesh and blood! Some of them I'm sure love the attention, others just get on with their lives and probably wish to go unnoticed.

As favies says they all have something in common with us...they have chosen to come to one of the best places in the world :)

Debz, I agree with you. These kind of people can be found anywhere and everywhere. They certainly do not need to be celebs or famous in any way. You can always find people who have a high opinion of themselves and feel superior - these are the people who are 'not real'!
Your example of Tony Hadley is a great one. The media encourages us to believe whatever they choose to write - right or wrong and we make judgements based on that but as you said - they can be found anywhere.
 
Anyway, I met Joe Royle!!!:eek of Everton legend at Palma airport, he even talked to me!!!:D He asked me the way to the gents :D:rolleyes: Ahhh, my claim to fame.
 
And just to combine football - with Jiggs mention of Everton - along with the group of "celebs" here's a few names that will be around the island, maybe even venturing to PP. And I wouldn't know a single one of them if I bumped into them. But I'm sure I would appreciate their fitness! No clarification needed on that! ;)


WORLD CUP WINNING WEDDING FOR PREMIER LEAGUE STAR
By Humphrey Carter
LITTLE did Everton’s star Spanish midfielder, Mikel Arteta and his fiancée, Miss Spain 1999 Lorena Bernal know when they sent out their wedding invitations that many of the guests tonight are World Cup winners.

The Everton player who is being linked with a move to Manchester City and his fiancée have spent the best part of the week going over the final plans for this evening’s wedding at a private estate in Campos. The first of Spain’s World Cup winning side began arriving on Thursday.

Famous for being the star of the party, Arteta led the famous European Champions-winning celebrations in Madrid two years ago. Liverpool and Spain goal keeper Pepe Reina jetted into Palma on Thursday evening looking forward to the weekend of celebrations which apparently include a party at Mood club on Sunday.

Everton are currently on a pre-season tour in Australia and Australian international midfielder Tim Cahill, who played in the World Cup, has been given special leave to fly all the way to Majorca to be Arteta’s best man when he weds the model and actress.

The full guest list remains a mystery, as did the location of the wedding until two days ago.
But, fellow World Cup winner Xabi Alonso, who left Liverpool last year to join Real Madrid, has also arrived on the island. He is due to b joined by Majorca’s Albert Riera who also played for Liverpool prior to moving to CSKAMoscow over the summer.

A host of other Spanish celebrities from the world of acting, music and sports, such as tennis player Carlos Moya, are also expected. Real Madrid and Spain legend Raul is currently on holiday in Minorca, so he too could be popping over for the wedding. Riera and his wife Yolanda Ruiz flew in from Ibiza where another Spanish World Cup winner, Gerard Pique, has been spotted celebrating Spain’s historic defeat of Holland in last Sunday’s final.

But, the Balearics has not only been hosting Spain’s football legends over the past week.
More recently, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole have been holidaying with their families in Majorca while England skipper Steven Gerrard has been making the most of Ibiza with his Liverpool team mate and fellow England player, Jamie Carragher. They, however, went out of the World Cup over two weeks ago.

Ant was indeed in Puerto Pollensa he was with a large group of people incuding Jonothan Wilks(the nearest to Robbie I will ever get!) Glad to say that they were allowed to enjoy their meal in relitive peaceand quiet. Not surprised to see that Puerto Pollensa is a place that anyone can enjoy. They certainly had a blast with everyone else at the roundanout when Spain won the World Cup.
 
yes its good Ant was left to get on with his life without being harassed. What a pain it must be to be rich famous and constantly recognised! Seriously, if celebs feel they can come to PP and be left alone to enjoy a lovely place then that can only be good for PP and its reputation.
 
Oh my husband has just reminded me that about 3 years ago we saw Phil Mitchell from Eastenders. He was in a rather old and beaten up Renault. Gosh the list is growing lol.
 
I remember that, he flow over with us on Easyjet, he has a villa I think, but I'm afraid he falls into the category of, 'you know Phil Mitchel, he was in a soap once'
 
Yes - I know what you mean! I couldn't remember his name - probably didn't ever know it lol
I had to say to my husband 'you know - he's the drunk in Eastenders"!
 
Jonathon Wilkes mum has an apartment in the block that I live, well thats my claim to fame.
