I recon there must be loads of famous people on here! Holly Willoughby - totally on here. Everyone from Loose Women - here! Are you a famous? If you are then NC and then post and NC back - I'd love to know!

Teeth are you seriously asking that question, thinking that there might actually be some genuinely famous people on this thread? Grin Grin

@Blackbird82 I deliberately made it vague as I can't be arsed to name change but the grandparent can be a nightmare when they're actively working (versus between jobs) because they get a big head and believe their own hype, telling tale after tale of their activities. The family just act like no one cares which either results in a massive grump or more exaggerated stories to get a rise Grin

TeethDrama · 15/01/2017 00:03

How do you know there aren't, Worra? Grin

NovemberInDailyFailLand · 15/01/2017 00:05

Masketti is Trump's DIL for sure :)

I'm Peter Andre.

ghostspirit · 15/01/2017 00:05

teeth I find it ok. I'm just myself. If I have a party there are no rules about what gos on at a party staya there. I know celebs who do have that rule though.

AnnieAnoniMouse · 15/01/2017 00:06

You could not pay me enough to be famous. I'd hate it.

Rich I'd love. But not famous.

WorraLiberty · 15/01/2017 00:08

Teeth not only is this the faceless internet, but it's the Mumsnet super faceless internet, where name changing is positively encouraged by the site owners Grin

Love Worra
Supermodel extraordinaire

MiddleClassProblem · 15/01/2017 00:08

I'm famished. That's not the same.

wonders who BakeOffBiscuits is and if the can help me out

LegArmpits · 15/01/2017 00:08

I've spoken to Rod Stewart on the telephone, met Keith Harris, Huey Lewis and Chris De Burgh.

And I'm Peter Andre.
(One of the above is untrue.)

Masketti · 15/01/2017 00:08

And to bring the grandparent down a peg of two. I was watching a programme with DD3 about the area of work her grandparent is in and explained to her that's X's job (she's still a bit vague about what 'work' and 'jobs' involve). Couldn't have given less of a shit Grin I showed her some You Tube clips of her grandparent doing their activity including being interviewed by someone. Because DD didn't recognise the person doing the interviewing she asked if she could watch Paw Patrol instead! Despite the interviewer being almost as famous as her grandparent. Kids don't give a monkeys about fame. I told her grandparent that DD would rather watch Paw Patrol and the grandparent was not happy their fame was unappreciated Grin Ah well!

NovemberInDailyFailLand · 15/01/2017 00:09

Teeth - I hate being famous, me. I actively avoid telling outlandish stories to the gutter press. Also, I love my kids.

glitterazi · 15/01/2017 00:09

No, but I could totally get why famous people may post on here. How do we know who we talking to on here? It's all anonymous names.
If you had a problem, maybe you'd come here anonymously without people fawning/acing like a sycophant,

BadKnee · 15/01/2017 00:10

I agree with Worra when she says So someone works in front of a camera for a living - why does that then make so many people giddy and overly interested in them?

I think fame is being used more widely than just actor/tv fame though on this. I bet there are politicians and sports stars , inventors, writers and artists (and those married to them) on here.

I am not famous at all and would hate to be so but I do wish that I had done something so brilliant that it was worthy of fame.

calamityjam · 15/01/2017 00:13

If I was famous I would definitely start a thread about myself asking opinions of me. Then spend the next 3 days crying into my vodka and icecream

Bunnyfuller · 15/01/2017 00:15

As you're all NC you can tell us who you are they NC again in a sparkly famous way and we can all wonder 'but was it'.

I am not famous, although I do have a Christmas card from Gary Numan's nan. And I hugged Bobby Ball once. So I could prob make it onto Celebrity BB on the back of those credentials.

I'm having a toenail removed in 2 weeks time too. That won't make me famous. It'll just fucking hurt.

BadKnee · 15/01/2017 00:19

I would expect that many female politicians would be on here, both to be free to say what they think without being quoted or challenged and to gauge the mood. Also mana are mothers and probably need the advice and laughs as much as anyone else.

Writers would love it for the quality of raw material: speech patterns, views from all over, anecdote and incident for colour in a novel.

leapyearbaby · 15/01/2017 00:19

Whenever I suspect trolling I assume it's Katie Hopkins

FeralBeryl · 15/01/2017 00:19

I'm John Nettles.

I would hate to be famous. Just the thought of someone papping me on the school run leaves me cold.
I work with several famous people who have become progressively more famous and can see a real change in them, not for the better.
It must be like an altered reality, constantly wondering if people genuinely like you or are just sycophants, or worse still, looking to get a scoop on you.
I actually feel quite sorry for them.

mum2Bomg · 15/01/2017 00:20

Worra - I agree!

My friend's rabbit's dad is going to be in Midsomer Murders next Wednesday (true story), so don't tell me I don't lead a glamorous celebrity lifestyle.

BrianCoxWithBellsOn · 15/01/2017 00:20

Genuinely, I'm famous.

BadKnee · 15/01/2017 00:20

many are mothers - sorry not mana - sticky keyboard

Stonewash · 15/01/2017 00:20

I am Archimedes.

atheistmantis · 15/01/2017 00:20

If I walk down the high street of my local city I get stopped by people who recognise me or hear people who walk past and say ' was that so-and-so from xxxxx'
