On a similar theme, as a kid my gran used to babysit Billy Wright.
Billy Wright was married to Joy Beverly (of the Beverly Sisters, 'a girl band' from the 50s!), the other 2 sisters live down the road from us and are often seen driving (I use the term very loosely) round the village and parking (also used loosely, it's more like abandoning in a slightly controlled manner) their Honda CRV.

That HAS to be a Bond based porno. I'll be dissapointed in humanity if it's not.

I worked down in Turkey for a bit a few years back, so decided to blow a days wage and buy a really good ticket to the F1 GP. I was about 10 rows up right across from the McLaren and Ferrari garages. I could have whipped a rock off Bernie Ecclestone's head, and was sorely tempted to do so. My desire to actually see the race was all that restrained me.

I looked after Brian McFadden's puppy on my skydiving course while the bloke was doing a jump.

Not Brian McFadden mind (that woulndn't be tenuous enough) but the boyfriend of a girl who was mates with him and was dog sitting.

Winston, very cute.

My step mother was a cousin (by marriage) of Ozzy Osbourne but that ended when he divorced his first wife. Never met him. Well, to be honest, the OP did ask for tenuous links. Is that tenuous enough?

I was away skiing in Couurchevel about 2 years ago when I bumped into John Barrowman who was in the room next door in the hotel.

He was really odd.

I heard him on his phone quite a bit outside the hotel restaurant and bar, and sometimes he was speaking in a really broad Glaswegian accent, and other times strongly American.

He also seemingly refused to sit down at a table for breakfast, but would wander into the dining rooms and grab items of food before wandering back out eating them. I can only guess this was to avoid actually paying for breakfast.

There was a movie themed night in the hotel bar one evening and they were giving out gifts of various things such as champagne and treatments at the hotel spa to any tables that entered mini quiz thing.

We won the champagne and John Barrowman won a spa treatment. He then proceeded to rush over to our table and ask to swap the champagne for his spa treatment, and we agreed as my Mum would enjoy the spa.

When his 'champagne' arrived it was nothing more than a cheap £5 bottle of fizz the spa treatment my mum got was worth about £100 smile

Just looked him up on Wikipedia.
Apparently he was picked on at school for having a really strong Scottish accent when he moved to America so he learnt an American accent.
Maybe he was talking to relatives and slipped back into his original accent.
As for going in and grabbing breakfast, maybe he just did not want to be bothered whilst eating?

Ok, but what was the dog called?
