I don't mean somebody you seen once from across the street, I mean somebody who you have a number/email for.

Well in that sense i know a lot of famous people from Poland, tv stars, news reporters, two politicians and the Daukszewicz Family (senior is a quite well known artist in Poland and as of late a co-leader of a popular tv show).

It just so happened that i met most of the mentioned above through my work in Kafe Fajka and the rest through my family.

I know the singer Ashanti and the professional wrestler Curt Hawkins from WWE Smackdown.

Some 'famous' French/Dutch/Belgian people....The ones the avarage user never have heard of them.

I know the band Napalm Death (they were massive like 20 years ago), they drink in my local, Scruffy Murphys in Birmingham. I'm not friends with them but we say hi to each other at the bar etc... They are actually one of my favorite bands, I get a bit nervous around them.

I have also met Geoff Horsfield (Football/soccer player) a few times as he lived in my village some years back.

Also Kimberly who was in Xfactor UK this year lives on my street, but shes not really famous.

I know a couple of musicians, a well known painter and a guy who's about to become a big star in Ski Jumping (one of my best friends' brother actually)!
The musicians are from around my area, both have sold very well in Norway, they are; DDE (a poor band if you ask me, but they're a cool bunch and make the party liverly!) and Åge Aleksandersen (my 3rd cousin on mothers side, he's been at it since the early 70's and has been in 3 different bands and sold 1-1.5 million albums here since then).
The painter is Arnold Dahlslett, a man inspired by pyramids and Albrecht Duhrer (he signs the paintings AD like Duhrer as a homage to him), some of his paintings are hanging in large public buildings and institutions and can go for up to 120.000 NOK a piece.
The Ski Jumper's name is Vegard H Sklett and if you watch winter sports and olympics you'll see his name for sure within 1-2 years, he just got selected to join the national team!

The only famous people worth knowing are a) david hasselhoff, b) britney spears and c) manchester united players/managers, and i dont know any of them, sadly.
