How many of you live by famous people?

[Phuzzie_the_camera_girl]

Brad Pitt lives in my town, if you go up to where all the big homes are you might see him jogging (many of my friends have at least) Every now and then he might be at Safeway, or QFC...

Anyone else live by someone famous?

I've got Elvis Presley locked in my basement, if that counts.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Oh, and the Australian cricketer Matt Hayden used to go to my school, but that's another story.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Hmm. I used to know Todd Woodbridge, played tennis with him once too. I kinda knew Nathan bracken when I was at school. But never played cricket, so only knew of him and how freakily good he was. I also used to know Rene Rivkin. Which isnt a big deal cos he knows like...everyone in Aus. Austentacious (? dunno how to spell his name, he did that shaddupya face song....soooo annoying) I also know a guy that slept with Sally off Home And Away. And a girl that slept with Bruce Samazan.

Man I could name drop with the best of the B-Lists..... SO sad!

Someone in the Corrs has a house quite near my school, nobody famous wants to live in Belfast for obvious reasons...it sucks

 

[cass]

too many imho. They are escalating real estate prices at a ridiculous rate.
I had a big catharis about it all recently though, thanks to Stuck In a Moment, so I'm starting to get over it. 'tis what 'tis.

Russell Crowe is shitting the neighbours when he's home, in and out all day in his helicopter. Why do they buy bush blocks then knock down the trees for private air strips?...woops, I started... get over it girl!!But the rate of clearing is alarming.
Now if it was the guys from U2 that would be different.....

 

[missmacphisto]

I lived right next door to the Warner Bros Ranch for a while.

Look...look what you've done to me...You've made me poor and infamous, and I thank you...

i live down the street from the guy who owns the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, the guy who owns the Pittsburgh Pirates and the guy who endowed the Katz school of business at the University of Pittsburgh.

No shit, they all live on one block.

DC area, right?

I live near a lot of Joe sixpacks if that counts for anything

 

[Angela Harlem]

Actually Kieran, I did once know Rene Rivkin. No need to be sarcastic, I cant tell with your posts if you are or not. Please be aware that some folks cant.

 

[Mrs.Clayton]

Phuzzie...Brad Pitt lives in North Bend! So does my uncle! I should visit him more often.
I literally ran into Matt Cameron (of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam) today, that was pretty cool.

 

[Foxxern]

Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) went to the high school I graduated from, albeit about ten years before I did. I think he lives in the city of Chicago now.

I've no doubt you knew Rene Rivkin. My 'sarcasm' was prompted by the bit about everyone in Australia knowing him. I thought it was humour rather than sarcasm, there is a difference.

i know pamela andersons brother reasonably well, he used to drive me to school.

Mel Gibson owns a farm not too far from my parents.

Yes, Rene would be a hand fella to know. As for the other stuff, dead right it's no big deal. I guess I just prefer to live or die by my words. Smilies (and crazy angry faces) can be a bit meaningless.
