I am going to get the spelling wrong but Ross Filipo??

Christian grew up down here, he took my cousin to his 7th form ball (many years ago now ) and then onto a family thing. Things would be so much different if they had of stayed together.

heh...yeah ,go The kelly lol

here, i got this about your cousin

Kate Louise Elliot played twins Avril/Bernadette Lucich (2004)

Avril fancied herself as a mover and shaker who would do anything to progress from temp to permanent member of Shortland Street staff. However, crossing Dom was not the wisest way to realise her ambitions, for the feisty P.A. was soon murdered. Bernadette, Avril’s twin, arrived at the clinic to take up Avril’s job and dig for dirt on her sister’s mysterious disappearance. Convinced Dom had something to do with it, Bernadette flipped and attacked him, landing herself in jail.

Anyway. My cousin is Kate-Louise Elliott (was on Shorty St, as I think a receptionist and her evil twin who killed her? Dunno, never watched it. And on outrageous fortune and whanau and is currently in the show 'who needs sleep anyway'.)

My DH's real close family friend was Greg Whitecliffe (Whitecliffe College of Arts), he passed away a few years ago. DH lived with them for a while before Greg got sick. Harry's middle name Tikihana is named after Greg. He did an original crayon drawing for DH, it's hanging on our stairwell.

And depends what circles you go in, in Christian circles I know loads of people. Am mates with all the crew from Life fm and my DH does radio work and he's a journalist on Shine TV (on Sky), lol not really famous at all but to some people it might be!

DH used to work with Katherine from that NZ kids programme I forget what it's called. The one with the 2 chicks and the Samoan guy.

Oh and our close friend Luke used to be the news guy on ZM, and he's on the ad for the airforce or something - that one where the guys are fixing a car and a helicopter comes and whisks one of them away. He's the guy on the ground holding the spanner looking confused.

I served Mark Fergusson a few times at work, and the old shortie receptionist "Marj" was a regular too. They were both really lovely.
DH's Uncle used to be a sports presenter on TV1.
SIL is good friends with the girl who used to play Li Mei on shorties too.
My Mum was good friends with Ray Columbus' wife years ago...

And...went to school with Troy Flavell and Ron Cribb (rugby players). And Megan Nicol - who is married to Jeremy Corbett. Used to work at Tony's in Henderson with Russell Dixon - he used to be the weather guy on TV3 and now does those Tegal Chicken ads on TV - he's the chef.

I used to work at TVNZ in HR, so met heaps of them, like Paul Holmes (ick), Alison Mau, Simon Dallow, Jim Hickey etc... Then got to meet Anastacia when she played at the TVNZ building live on Holmes. And got to see Robbie Williams play live when he came over for one of his concerts - he did an exclusive show... Husband's family is related to Matthew Cooper by marriage.

That'd be me!

Haha.

So yes, my Uncle is Roger Fox - Unless know your Jazz, you probably won't know him, but your parent probably would, lol.

I've spent a week being trained and directed by Robyn Malcolm of Shortland Street and Outrageous Fortune fame - I LOVE her. Really lovely lady, but don't piss her off! Haha. I met her son Charlie and she was heavily pregnant with baby #2 at that stage.

Corey Jane hit on me ("hey, how's it goin'? Can I have your number?") whilst I was waiting for DF to clean up after a rugby game last year - Admittedly I had no idea who he was, and then when DF pointed him out and I told him he had spoken to me, he just about wet his pants and has taken great pleasure in telling all his friends that Corey Jane hit on me.

I sold a pair of $365 RayBans to Ma'a Nonu... He's a t**ser.

DF has done a lot of electrical work for former NZ Miss Universe and Dancing with the Stars celeb, Lorraine Downes... I also had to give her a refund of $900 for sunglasses she purchased then didn't want.

My inlaws are good friends with Wellingtons Mayor, Kerry Prendergast.

Christian Cullen must get around! But we used to live around the corner from his parents in Paekakariki and we were introduced to him as my younger brother was the spitting image of Christian as a child (according to his parents) There was even an article in our local newspaper about the "young boy form Paekakariki who looks like Christian Cullen".

Uhmmmm, I know there's more but I have a crying baby in the background, so I better go do the decent thing and sort her out!

I played netball in CHC with a few of the ladies from down there.

Altho softball is not a well followed sport in NZ, I have had the pleasure of playing with most of the womens team and know most of the mens team.
My husband played for Samoa at the last work series, does he count as famous?

No one really. Mary Lambie is the patron of our multiple birth club but meh, she's a dork.

My dad's first cousin is Chris mcguire, a district court judge who always seems to get his mug on tv, most recently in the Alan Duff case last week.

Oh and Dad is good friends with Stephen Tindall of The Warehouse fame, we went to school with his kids and his daughter used to babysit us.

People I've spoken to on the phone: Mary Lambie and Kate Hawkesby, Jennifer Ward Lealand and Michael Hurst, our company did work for them, and I was the liasion.

I worked with Richard Turner he was an All Black and also captained North Harbour... I had such a crush on him. I met Glen Osbourne, Eric Rush and Ian Jones through him.

My cousins: Todd Miller played for Waikato, Jared Going played for Northland. I'm also related to Syd Going.

Grew up next door to Rodger Gray (NZ All White) so of course know Sandra Edge as she is married to him!

My brother is best friends with Johnny Ried so I see him quite often.

My DH was to become an All White until he tore his hamstring.

Tem Morrison and Kim Wilouby (When the cats away) sang at their wedding. Not that they would know me from a bar of soap
Stelios (Johnny Marinovich from shortland street years ago) came to dinner at our house after one of their kids christenings.

Have met others through Jay but can't really remember who they were. My mind is blank.

I went to school with Carlos Spencer. He was a year younger than us, but was in our group of mates.

One of my flatmates went out with Christian Cullen when we were at Uni. So he was at our place heaps.

My cousins boyfriend is Hamish, who is the drummer from The Feelers (incidentally he wrote a gorgeous song about Joshua the last time we were there and he's gonna record it for us next time he's in the studio).

...that is famous in NZ???

My second cousin is quite well known in New Zealand as he has a tattoo of an alien on his head.

I know Jacob Oram, as he was 2 years above me at school and one of the girls on my bus went out with him (before he was a famous cricket player).

My cousin brought Cristian Cullen to a family thing when they were going out (before he was a famous rugby player).

So who do know???
