'Silly Celebrities'. it's simple. it's a word coagmented. it's an endeavor.


A topic I have wanted to create for the longest time, yet had no inkling of how to will it into fruition. I don't know how long this can last, but one has to try, at least.

If you wish to help this topic spawn along, here's the basic formula:

1. Find a celebrity. One with personality, all the better. (Comedians are more goofball than, say, sports owners. Build off that.)
2. Make sure they have been photographed. (deal-breaker)
3. Post the picture here. (overall aim)

Those are the basics above, here are the staples:

4. Try your darndest to find the most superb, hilarious, candid, awkward and/or rollicking picture available.
-- best tip: If it doesn't make you smile, it's just not worthwhile.
5. Find a trusted resource. And No Hotlinking. Host it on your Photobucket, Flickr, Tumblr, whatever. Please. Longevity is key.
-- try any and/or all of the following to aid your search: wireimage, getty collection, life, SI, flickr, associated press, offbeat forums, pop blogs, et al.
6. If it is within your means, (an expendable time of 3 minutes, maximum) please properly annotate the photographic content.
-- infotrivialities: provide a name(s), situation, date, original author (the photographer), and to whom rights belong (copyright).
7. Above all else, have some fun. It's a scavenger hunt; it's a cornucopia of outré antics; It's an exhibition of curious luminaries (however loosely). Make it brighter.

Thank you to any audience members who have beared with me so far. On with the aforementioned program. Enjoy.

That's great. I'd have produced a great follow-up to your post by miraculously recovering the name of a French entertainer/comedian, (who may also be a mute?) but I still can't remember him, nor find the photographs in question. I disappoint myself.




But, I do still have Dustin Hoffman playing tricks. That counts for something, right?

John Michael Osbourne was born on 3rd December 1948 in the UK, in Birmingham.

Prior to his musical career, Ozzy tried to work as an assistant locksmith, miner, at the slaughterhouse, an auto mechanic, painter, and even a gravedigger.

Not being able to find himself in the field of honest labor, the young John Osborne tried to earn one through theft. Caught thereafter, he was unable to pay the fine and served (according to different sources: a half or three) months in the Birmingham jail. It was in prison that Osbourne made his famous tattoo "OZZY" on the finger joints of his left hand.



Coming out of jail, Ozzy decided to try himself as a musician.

I had almost given up hope that yet another one of my threads would just be me, alone, in my own echo of darn good content (at least I think it's good).

Thanks for the Fabio, kramus. I found some more.

Thanks for the kind words of appreciation, gg. I really need them at this point (most of the dozen or so threads I've started are just me, providing what I come across, and then they lay dormant until I return again). It's nice to have a reason and praise, so that I don't feel as though I'm providing content that nobody finds interesting.


If anyone else wants to participate, it's quite easy if you take a few moments to peruse and acclimate yourselves toward search engines -- try any and/or all of the following to aid your search: wireimage, getty collection, life, SI, flickr, associated press, offbeat forums, pop blogs, et al.
This is also a handy resource as well: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/

Also, if anyone would like to ask for any particular celebrity figure for me to try and find interesting photographs of, I wouldn't mind it at this point. Right now, I'm just finding what I have in my notes and in my folders, so I'll eventually run out and have to search for more.

When Andy Roddick arrived in Brisbane, Australia (on Tuesday) for next week's ATP season opener, his luggage wasn't there to greet him.
A Lacoste store in the area sent over some clothes for Roddick to wear to practice while he waited for his bags to arrive.
I'm guessing the sizes run a little smaller in the land down under:

Did I also mention that I'm open to requests? I'm not sure how well I'd be at fulfilling them, but I know and follow exactly two celebrities at any one time, and if asked, it'd take me a good minute for me to remember them. At this point, I'm just mowing through the web and picking up what fits and is mildy intriguing.
