Your 2012 Olympics London Primer: Approaching British Celebrities


 

Should you find yourself in London for the 2012 Olympic games, here are some suggestions as to how to approach the British celebrities you will encounter while on holiday (which is Britain for “a longer vacation than we Americans could ever hope for.”)

Queen Elizabeth II

Picture 1 of 10

Of course you're bound to run into the Queen at some point during the games. That's just a given. And doesn't this picture just scream, "Approach me, peasant!" So, go on then. Don't be shy. But the old girl is getting on in years, so you may want to up the volume when you say, "GOOD DAY TO YOU, YOUR MAJESTY. I BELIEVE ONE OF YOUR CORGIS JUST FELL INTO THE THAMES. WILL YOU BE ATTENDING THE CANOE SLALOM?"

    When did Keira Knightley decide to become the new spokesmodel for Collagen Lips Barbie?

    • Snarky_Amber

      I’m pretty sure it’s just the shade and the way her lipstick is applied but, yeah, I thought they looked a little overly plump in that pic.

      • DianaCLT

        Yeah, but…but…she looks like she’s been plasticized or something. Yeechs. Keira Knightley as done by Madame Tussaud.

        (Yes. I realize that would be wax, but thought it had more emphasis than, say, Mattel or something.)

    “Hogwarts ain’t just a school for wizards.” Took me minute, but I got it.

    Isn’t Pete Doherty dead? Or, is that just wishful thinking?

  • RiotousDigits

    If I bumped into Colin, I’d be reduced to a gibbering blob of Jello (jelly in the UK) instantly. Of course, he’d take it like a proper gentleman and pretend not to notice. Oh, Mr. Darcy!!

    • Laurinda P

      Oh man, I am so with you on that one! (if that’s what he wanted)
