Nikki also went into WH Smith to “browse” and discovered Richard is in Hello Magazine with Elton John on the cover. The date of magazine is April 10th, 2001.

That’s it folks!

Georgina emailed me to inform people that there is a Yahoo club called Fantasy Island which is an ongoing story site, filled with lots of scrummy men – Anton Meyer (Holby City), Patrick Stewart in various forms (Jean-Luc Picard, Professor Xavier from X-Men) Alan Rickman, Michael York, Sir Percy Blakeney etc. The Blakeney storyline is one that she’s been developing at the moment with a couple of other writers. Imput is welcomed for those interested and the URL is http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/fantasyislanduk/.

Alice from the States also informs me that she bought a book of doll house miniatures for her mother and quickly came across a picture of REG in it. A bit different, huh?? Anyway it’s called “The Doll House Book” and it’s by Stephanie Finnegan. It’s actually shaped like a doll house and is copyrighted 1999 so you should be able to find it at a bookstore or miniature collectable shops.

Richard has contributed a T-shirt to “Alone in London’s” charity auction. The T-shirt is apparently a very nice self-portrait and currently there are no bids for the shirt at present. The auction ends Monday, April 2. The URL to check this out is http://www.als.org.uk/t-shirt/richard_e_grant.htm.

Nikki writes:

“I see that the above that Richard went to in London a while back and I think Annie mentioned was for charity – which I didn’t realise at the time. Anyway I found this and I hope I’m not lightyears behind people here!!”

Stars turn out for movie memorabilia sale

Stars from the film industry have gathered for a preview of a charity auction of film and TV memorabilia in London.

Ralph Finness and Richard E Grant were among those at Sotheby’s to see 100 items set to be auctioned on the internet to raise money for Unicef Ireland.

Items include Mel Gibson’s sword from Braveheart, Liam Neeson’s lightsabre from The Phanton Menace and Ralph Fiennes’ shirt from The English Patient.

The online auction took place on 7 March, 2001.

Emma has sent me the URL to a web page in which Richard talks of his childhood in Africa. The URL is http://uk.tv.yahoo.com/010316/128/bcr6o.html for anyone who wants to find out more.

I also got an email from Kerry who writes:

“Dominique.
Just to say that i found the website very interesting. Sadly I didn’t know of the fund raising events regarding topics surrounding the film. Of course I am a great “fan” of the film.

I am in a band who have recorded a tune called “Camberwell” which is our tribute to the film. I would be really pleased if you could maybe find some time to check out our song on http://www.mp3.com/moostash or visit our home page at http://www.moostash.fsnet.co.uk

It would be our pleasure to send you a few “FREE” copies on CD …if you like the tune/s!?..maybe you could pass a few around? We would be more than happy to donate a percentage of sales, further to more discussion’s.
Sincerely,
Kerry”

Thanks very much for passing that information on, guys!
