Okay,
so apologies to those of you who turned up to Rushmore
expecting to see BILL MURRAY -- we've been informed that he's
not in Edinburgh after all. However the delectable OLIVIA WILLIAMS
and STEPHEN McCOLE did turn up to provide the photographers
with something to snap at.
What they didn't realise was that just down the road an absolute
media frenzy was taking over the Cameo as actress PATSY KENSIT
came to the premiere of Janice
Beard:45 wpm ... with her boyfriend. Yes, that one out of
that band (Mr Gallagher). Poor old me, I ended up sitting two
seats in front of them, but the security was just too tight
to... anyway, I digress.
Fellow Inside Out-er, Salty, felt rather sorry for poor Eileen
Walsh, the star of the show, who looked a tad neglected by the
gathered media hounds outside the cinema. The audience did her
justice though, by heartily cheering her onto the stage.
Even so, not everyone in the audience was happy - the poor wee
girl who plays the young Janice was unable to get a ticket for
her dad...
Finally, a funny thing happened today in the delegate centre,
you know where us media types hob-nob with the stars. I was
making idle conversation with Robert Sarkies, in town promoting
the fun student romp Scarfies,
when we were politely asked to clear the area so it could be
used for "Directors Drinks". Cue one bemused director and one
embarassed member of the hospitality team. I guess that's the
price of fame.
