I had my interview yesterday with Cosmogirl for an article that will be out in August. It may not be being published within my 12 week time frame but I can still say I have done it! I have to go to a photo shoot next week, can't wait!

Chelle 's Big Mouth

Monday night I went to a pilot recording of Big Brother's Big Mouth to test the new presenters and the audience and I was invited back to be in the audience for the live show next Friday. Peaches Geldolf was presenting, who came and sat next to me saying 'I love your hair!'. It was great to be able to say I had met her recently at Transmission recording for Channel 4. Guests for the show were Ben Dover(a famous porn star!) and Cassie from Wags Boutique. We were given free booze before we went to the studio so everyone was merry and talkative. Can't wait for the live show!

Chelle plays at Celeb Soccer 6

The one chance I get of a great photo and my bloody eyes are shut! Typical.





So I was able to take part in Celeb Soccer 6 as one of my methods to becoming famous for being a celebrity. I was so nervous on the way to West Ham's ground as I was worried that the celebrities would be funny with me as to why I was taking part. I was given my kit for the Bad Girls Team and was directed to the changing rooms. As I walked in, there in front of me was Michelle Heaton and Bianca Gascoine getting changed into their kits and chatting away. I was even given a smile and hello as I walked in by them. They must have been thinking who the hell is that?! I quickly made friends with my team and had to tell them why I was there so that they were in on the con!
All of the celebrities chatted to me like I was one of them, they were so friendly. I asked Jack, Jade's boyfriend to ask if any of the guys in the changing room had any spare shinpads for Rochelle on my team and he was so cool about it. I didn't feel intimidated at all. As I walked through the tunnel and out to the ground lots of kids were asking me to sign their programmes, their footballs and pose for photos with them. My family and Paul Stacey were cracking up when I looked at them! My point was officially proven-just because I was at the right place at the right time, I was accepted as a celebrity. Not even the celebrities asked who I was, they accepted it too. Most of them pretend they know each other anyway as I have seen recently!
Julian Bennet was there with his little dog Lulu and it was lovely to know him and some others such as Stuart Mann from Shipwrecked (who I knew from Stevenage in Hertfordshire before the project) and a couple of other celebrities I had met at recent events so I didn't feel so alone! Other celebs included Brian McFadden, Hollyoaks cast, Big Brother cast, X Factor finalists, and many more.
My team managed to lose every match as all we wanted to do was chill out, drink and watch the other teams anyway!
I really had the most amazing day, and to top it off I managed to speak to Pete Docherty and get a photo taken with him and shared a bar with Kate Moss! She is tiny in real life but was absolutely on a high as Babyshambles won the tournament and Pete scored the winning goal.
Afterwards we had drinks in the players lounge and decided not to go to the after party as most celebs had left. I was absolutely shattered anyway, not from playing football but from my pure excitement throughout the day.
Today I was made famous for no reason, my goal is achieved.

Soccer 6

This is what I am taking part in on Sunday...

10 weeks gone, 2 to go : (

A bit of a slow week this week, lots of refusals from people to help me but still some positive work too.

Chelle in music video!

I have just been asked if I would like to be on a music video for newcomer artist Dragonfly by Dragonfly (Nathan Watson) himself as he has seen my own 'myspace' page and thought it could help my project! How good is that?! The video shoot will be the 30th of this month so it is outside my 12 weeks but hey this video might be played for years to come so I'm not complaining!

Young Person of the Year Awards

Theo Walcott (Arsenal FC)



Last night I attended the Young Person of the Year Awards in Hertford, Hertfordshire. I was completely taken back by the care and generosity these young people have. It was a complete reality check. Youth's of today are generally given such bad publicity, it is very rare that they get commended for their achievements. Tony Gearing, who held the event, explained that 71% of youth press today is bad. It seems to be that the press thrive on failure and as a result the majority of articles we read are extremely negative, celebs that have got in trouble, voilence, families at war etc and it seems that we as a nation are starting to recognise this as the norm rather than the exception.
Theo Walcott from Arsenal FC was there to support the event with his girlfriend stuck to his side and even gave a little speech. I told him I was from a national newspaper which seemed to get me to the front of the queue to have my photo taken. People just believed me, no questions asked. Easy Peasy.
As I sat through the ceremony I pondered on the idea that these young people are in the spotlight for one night only and for them, that is sufficient. For others however, it is never enough!!!!

Young Person of the Year Awards

I have been invited to The Young Person of the Year Awards Ceremony tomorrow evening in Hertfordshire by Tony Gearing, who is the founder of this event. He contacted me through my article in the local newspaper covering my House of Fraser story. I am very honoured to have been invited to the ceremony and I am sure that it will be something I will remember for a long time to come.

Update- 9 weeks gone, only 3 to go!

These last few weeks have gone so fast, my aim now is to just get into a national newspaper...

Shilpa Shetty's Film Premiere

Me and Angelica Bell:


Last night I attended Shilpa Shetty's Film Premiere in Leciester Square. I was pleasantly suprised by the film-I though it was going to be rubbish! It was in Hindu with English sub titles but this didn't seem to put me off. I had to walk up the red carpet and get papped, but not for long as Julian Bennet(Queer Eye for a Straight Guy) who was looking after me that night, had to get in to arrange what was going on. He is a such a great character, so funny! When we found out it was in Hindu he said 'Let's sit down and when it starts piss off to a bar'. However he enjoyed the film too so decided to stay. Also with Julian and I was his mum, Giles Vickers Jones and Michelle from Max Clifford's Office who brought along Jamie Pearce, an artist we are all going to hear much from in the future as Max Clifford is looking after him. We had a laugh trying to get to the after party as we kept taking the wrong turning. Julian's mum in fact is just as funny as him, she kept opening her door while we were driving. They looked after me really well too. The after party was a bit of a let down as Shilpa had left and Danielle Lloyd was only there for a little while after we arrived. I did however get chatting to Jonathan Lipman from Identity One, who looks after many celebrities and parties. There was also many people there that used to be in Eastenders from years ago, the only one I could remember the name of was Sanjay who was married to Gita. Anyone remember?!

Chelle does radio interview!

Here is me at Hertbeat fM at 8am in the morning! I had a great laugh chatting to Steve, Dawn and Chris about my project. It was a bit daunting at first, especially when they left the room to make me a coffee and the song was coming to an end on air and no one seemed to be coming back to the studio. I thought I was going to have to take over but thankfully after a moments silence when the song finished, which seemed like a lifetime, it switched to adverts. Phew! After that, the presenters were such cool people that I relaxed straight in to it. Friends have been telling me since I put a posh voice on but I didn't think I did! Hertbeat will be advertising my website on the news link all day. A link to my interview will be put up shortly.

Quick thought

(I do normally match clothes within an outfit but it was a 70s theme)

Ok, so this night had nothing to do with my celebrity life style however I felt the need to comment on the experience when I went to Roller Disco at Kings Cross to celebrate a friend's 22nd birthday (can't believe I just admitted that). Having to queue to get in was something I hadn't done in a while and to be completely honest I had to kick myself mentally that I am NOT now in my 'famous' mode. Despite this, I found the venue full of people with attitude and arrogance and the language coming out of some woman's mouth was atrocious. We even nearly got involved in a fight as some woman was so drunk she started slating my friend for helping someone that had fallen over on her skates. Ok, so maybe the average night club isn't normally this bad but I thought it was quite bizarre how I would have previously expected people to be more likely to display more arrogance and attitude at a celebrity party rather than at a normal one but it turned out to be the other way round. My recent nights out have been warm, welcoming with no confrontational atmosphere making me feel very safe. Maybe the celebs don't need to prove anything at a party or maybe because everyone at a celeb party must be 'someone' they don't need to display status. What party would you rather be at...?

Chelle attends Classical Brit Awards 2007

Sorry I haven't updated in a couple of days but things have been pretty hectic. Anyway, Thursday night Paul Stacey had arranged for me to attend the Classical Brit Awards after party however, at 6pm he called me to say he had 2 tickets to the actual event would I like to go? Now I am not big fan of classical music but as if I was going to turn down something like that!
It was amazing-the voices of these artists were incredible. Fern Britton hosted the event and we all love Fern so it was nice to see her in real life rather than on telly. Sting also made an appearance on stage and Paul pointed out to me Myleene Klass in the audience and actor Richard E Grant. Paul McCartney was also there. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall also had her own box but unfortunately I wasn't near enough to ask for help in becoming Prince William's new girlfriend.
Paul and I had to leave in the mid way interval as he had to get to the party to make sure everything was set up and ready for the guests. Once again it was a free bar so 6 glasses of champagne later I was making my way through the crowd to 'mingle'. I got chatting to LangLang, a very famous classical pianist who I have since been told is worth around £30million and has since text me to say it was lovely to meet me. Now I did not know who he was at the time, had I of, things may have ended differently. He was in fact a very sweet guy along with everyone else there. Katherine Jenkins sure is a girl who likes to party. I interupted her bopping away to ask for a photograph and typically my camera failed me and wouldn't work. Luckily, Piers Allardyce was nearby who I grabbed to take a photo using his camera from OK magazine!

Ooo look at that!

Just had a photo sent through for my website from OK! magazine, yes thats right it is Ben (from Phats and Small), Vanessa Feltz' boyfriend x

Chelle booked for radio interview

I have been informed by many friends that someone mentioned me and my project on my local radio station (Hertbeat FM) a couple of days ago. So, I gave the radio station a call and got invited to their station for an interview next Tuesday to explain what I am doing! It will however be at 8am so whether or not I will make sense at that time I am not sure x

A taste back to reality

So I had to go to my part time job yesterday evening as I haven't been working at all lately and I didn't want to let them down again. After arriving at work, I really began to feel like I am living 2 seperate lives at the moment. From a champagne reception with Fun Lovin Criminals to mopping the floor in my local pub...slightly different. However I did get some locals shouting 'we are not worthy' at the bar while bowing down which was rather amusing. I must admit I don't like the idea of going back to my normal life now I have had a taste of what Fame offers. The roles have switched and Fame seems to be conning me by sucking me in to the lifestyle.I want to still hang out with A-listers and spend my days at photo shoots and interviews. I haven't however yet tasted the bad side of fame i.e bad publicity and as I am not known by most of the public just yet I am not harrassed 24/7. So far everyone seems to be supportive and loves the idea of what I am doing but what if I did something bad and the public hated me? I am not sure I am even willing to do something to experience this. I just want to explore what ways there are of becoming famous today but in a good way. Maybe I could try being slightly rude to people at the parties and see what happens?
I do know that I will miss this project immensly as as hard as it was in the beginning it has been one of the best experience of my life. Anyway 4 weeks to go so no more dwelling!

Chelle does proffessional photo shoot with John Wright

So had my photo shoot today with John Wright today. www.johnwrightphoto.com(How good does that sound?!) What an amazing photographer. I was so worried about today. I normally hate anyone else doing my hair and make up but Charlotte Fisher, who did this for me, was one of the loveliest people I have met and somehow made me look beautiful. I did a few shots in some gorgeous dresses (one costing nearly £500!) and a couple of saucy shots which we will decide if we want or not. I was made to feel so comfortable and their studios were fantastic, right on the canal on Eagle Wharf Road. To be photographed by a top photographer is something I could never imagine happening a few weeks ago. I feel so priviliged to have worked with such amazing people.
