I only seem to know 1out of 10 of these so called 'celebrities'. I think the difference is between being famous and being important. Perhaps this is just an age thing.

One crappy song doesn't make you a celeb. Having a mother who presided over the Blue Peter garden - well that might just get you in.

Sir Kenneth Branagh (F) and 9th Earl Spencer (CW - those stately homes need some upkeep) on the 282 from LAX last week......

Branagh particularly patient as I (and my slow moving cost centers) hitched a ride with him and special services to Qantas F.....

If that's your view you are probably best just ignoring this thread.

Easy tiger. She had a hatful of great songs.

She's also apparently still massively popular in some bits of Eastern Europe & Russia.

I saw him in GF in late May. Seemed to be tucking into the self-pour while sitting tucked away with the computers. Looked very stern, almost angry - as it was during the broadcast of his Corbyn interview, I assumed he was busy watching the praise/abuse roll in on social media.

He was in GF on June 6 - looking equally angry. Eating as if he had not - or would not - for a while - . Surprisingly short in stature. Hair more wirey than on TV (if possible).

Kevin Bacon was in terminal 5 concord room yesterday morning, black leather baseball cap, very dark ray bans and all in black clothing, keeping very low key.

That's significantly helped my 6 degrees of Bacon

From your description of what he was wearing I would say he was anything but low-key.
