Are there any celebrities on DU?

[Kire]

I know Elizabeth Edwards posted on her own account last year, and of course there's Will Pitt, but that's all I can think of.

Any of the veterans remember more?

[HEyHEY]

1. John Stamos used to have a weekly column

[Fridays Child]

8. Nunh uh! Get out! I love John Stamos.

[Kire]

48. yeah: Nunh uh!

link? archive?

[Placebo]

2. Everyone but Elizabeth Edwards on DU...

[Lady Freedom]

33. I am NOT a nobody!!!

I am a SOMEBODY!!!

[Placebo]

34. I'm sure you are, dear.

:)

[Kire]

49. a nobody or a somebody?

it is unclear

}(

[4_Legs_Good]

3. Kerry's stepson posted a few times

If I recall correctly. Great posts too, right after the election.

[Longgrain]

4. Are you kidding! I'm really Axl Rose! Everyone knows that!

:7

[KG]

:hi:

[Auntie Bush]

7. Wes Clark Jr. posted a few times...so did Kerry's son...Chris Heinz

[MikeG]

9. David Wolper, I think.

[Kire]

51. the producer of Roots?

cool!

[radwriter0555]

58. Probably the son of... Senior is quite aged...

He has 2 sons, Mark and David.

[OKNancy]

69. Nope it was David

I had a PM conversation with him about Willie Wonka. Said it was a extrememly difficult shoot. He also left because some DUers were not very nice to him.

Edit: David Sr.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

10. Sure, Kleeb.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x2749403

He's getting married too! :)

[Wat_Tyler]

11. Yeah, a rock star and a radio celebrity.

That, plus several minor indie rock artists, plus a few published writers.

And me. I was in a movie. For two minutes.

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Who the fuck are you calling a "minor indie rock artist?"

Fuckknob. :grr:

[Wat_Tyler]

15. I thought you were Country?

Well, all the letters are there, anyway.

[asthmaticeog]

22. Ha. I've been in two movies.

And on a Canadian TV show, strangely enough.

[Wat_Tyler]

23. Which TV show?

I was a German soldier in a WW1 movie. I got to sing a German marching song. I'm just that great, me.

[asthmaticeog]

25. This is circa 88-89.

I was acosted for a phony "vox pop" interview for a show called "The Masked Marauder" or maybe "Crusader," or something like that. The premise was that a superhero was secretly a well-known public figure. So they did these fake street interviews in Toronto when I happened to be visiting, and I just went balls-out and claimed that I knew for a fact it was The Right Honorable Brian Mulroney. They gave me a Canadian dollar for my trouble, which I spent on candy bars. A friend called me to tell me my ridiculous rant (and it *was* a rant) actually went on-air. I take him at his word, as I've never had a chance to see it.

[Wat_Tyler]

36. Cool! We have to find that!

[asthmaticeog]

52. For god's sake, why?

OK, on one level, yes, totally hilarious. But on a more realistic level, do you really want to see teenaged asthmaticeog spouting off about the politics of a nation the adult asthmaticeog STILL doesn't quite comprehend? I was paid a DOLLAR, brother. A 'nuck dollar, at that, at time when said dollar was worth about 65c US. I surely deserved less.

[Wat_Tyler]

55. You have highlighted all the reasons I have for wanting to see the show.

}(

[CanuckAmok]

14. I know a Bush relative who reads daily, and posts infrequently...

...but I'm sworn to secrecy.

[FrankBooth]

16. didn't David Cross go on the Daily Show wearing a DU Tee?

I didn't see it, but I remember people here talking about it.

[noshenanigans]

45. I wish I'd seen that..

I totally adore David Cross, but I do the alternative comedy circuit in LA, and so I have to ride that fine line between "fellow comedian" and the urge I have to totally jump him at every turn.

[izzybeans]

46. If he does I wouldn't expect him to back Dean at this time

...maybe he does, but after the Dean campaign went after him in public for his trent lott joke he seemed to sour. (see liner notes to "It's not Funny") It was a great joke.

Anyway, Hi David,formerly of T.V.'s Mr. Show now from Internet's DU (maybe, kinda, sorta, please?)!

[BigMcLargehuge]

60. and currently of Arrested Development

the funniest show on television

[izzybeans]

65. Just bought the first season.

DOn't get much time to watch it on first run. I should make time.

[BigMcLargehuge]

67. betcha a buck you watch at least six eps in a row

it's like visual Doritos. My friend brought the first season over and we ended up having a four hour marathon of laughter.

[izzybeans]

70. I owe you more than a buck.

I sat with my son and watched it until he finally looked at me and said in two year old verbiage "What the hell are we doing? Get me a cookie or something." My wife has reserved them for special occasions because it is like doritos, you are right.

It's good stuff.

[Ophelia Rising]

53. David Cross is the SHIT

He effin' cracks me up! And Mr. Show.....loved it!

[izzybeans]

66. Do you think I could make David Horowitz's Network black list

if I showed Mr. Show in my class.

Gee I hope so. I'll tell Horowitz Globochem sent me.

[LynneSin]

57. He was on Conan with the DU Tee

:D

[giant_robot]

63. He wore a DU tee when he co-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Great publicity for the site.

[grace0418]

64. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE David Cross

He rocks, Arrested Development rocks, and I love him more every day.

[Wat_Tyler]

17. Liam Gallagher posts here.

[CanuckAmok]

19. It's the only public forum he has left.

HEYO!

[Wat_Tyler]

21. Yeah.

Well, that and flashing old ladies on the streets of Manchester.

[DS1]

41. Up next, men's public restrooms

[elperromagico]

31. Well, to be fair, nobody can understand what the fuck he's saying

anywhere else.

[KG]

20. yeah, i think his user name is 'lozoccolo' or something like that.

:eyes:

[elperromagico]

29. As LoZoccolo?

[Catshrink]

18. Robb is a dingbat

[Schema Thing]

24. Every November 23rd, for the past few years....

... at least a couple of people who know me will go, "omg, I saw you on TV last night!".

I was featured in a Discovery channel show about the JFK assasination a few years back, and with re-runs, I'm sure I've been on air for my full 15 minutes of fame. I'm even listed on IMDB and TV Tome, woot!

But of course you meant real fame, not cumulative Warholy-ness. :dunce:

[yellowdogintexas]

32. hey, another good play coming up in Denton

Into The Woods...

just thought you would like to know

oh yeah, hi, how have you been?

[Dave Reynolds]

26. Chris Heinz

(Kerry's stepson) posted here after the election.

He was treated poorly by some.

[Lautremont]

27. How famous do you have to be to be a celebrity?

There should be an official measure for that, I think. I mean aside from simply how many people have heard of you, because that's pretty hard to establish.

[Kire]

47. it's like obscenity

I know it when I see it

hey, maybe it is obscenity

[elperromagico]

28. Hi. I'm Slim Goodbody.

[Cadence]

42. OMFG! I haven't seen that

forever. I completely forgot about slimgoodbody.. he tried to teach us where all the human body stuff was and all anyone could think about was seeing his "pee pee" in his tights!

[elperromagico]

43. Glad you appreciate

my celebrity ding-dong. :D

[Cadence]

44. I did when I was a kid.

Giggled about it greatly.. thanks! :thumbsup:

[SmileyBoy]

30. I'm actually Ed Schultz.

Hi, everyone.:hi:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

37. Please don't tease an old broad...

I'm in love with Big Ed!

[SmileyBoy]

39. OK, I'm not him.

:D:D:D

I did meet him at a book signing at West Acres Mall, though.

[jandrok]

38. I am.....BATMAN!!

[Bouncy Ball]

40. Me.

Has someone already made that joke?

ROFL.

[Jack Rabbit]

50. It's time to let the secret out

I'm the Easter Bunny.

[BurtWorm]

54. I say this every time anyone asks this question and no one believes me,

but I am the Burt Worm. It's true. Believe it or not.

[Bunny]

61. No way. Not THE Burt Worm?

You're shitting us, right?

;)

:hi: BurtWorm

[BurtWorm]

68. You don't believe me, do you?

And I suppose you want us to believe you are THE Bunny? :eyes:

[Bunny]

72. I got a big white cotton tail.

Perched right on my ass, baby!

B-)

[Redstone]

56. Before they shut Napster down,

Does that count?

Redstone

[sniffa]
