Professor Stephen Hawking

Stephen HawkingLooking through some of the photos from the archives I came across this one of myself with Stephen Hawking

I am often asked during interviews of all the people I have met, who I am most impressed with. Of all the film stars I have met the majority are really nice people, rock stars are a lot of fun and good company, some of the richest men in the world can be surprisingly funny, but when all is said and done this is THE MAN.

Easily one of the most intelligent men in the world with one of the finest brains and on top of that so brave he takes my breath away, but he’s very human with it. I remeber asking him if he’s like to have a conversation with me about the universe or if he’d just like to watch the girls. The answer was quite simply “THE GIRLS”…

Angels for Boris

AngelsHere are six of my beautiful Angels all dressed in their Stringfellows T-shirts and they are about to spend the next three hours out canvasing in the city on behalf of the beloved, blond, gorgeous bombshell himself Boris Johnson who will be our next mayor of London. OK so, some of the girls are not sure who he is but I’ve told them he’s very famous and very very rich and that really impressed them. If you get to read this Boris, one word of advice from me: Get off that silly bike of yours, get yourself into Mercedes 4×4 and we’ll all love you even more… Cheers Peter J Stringfellow

Jim Davidson

Jim DavidsonDam it, not only did I miss Darius I have just missed one of my oldest TV star friends Jim Davidson.

You may remember he was recently on Marco Pierre White’s ‘Hells Kitchen’ when he was accused of being homophobic by one of the other wannabe chefs called Brian … Well let me tell you, I have known Jim for over 28 years and I can tell you he certainly is not homophobic but he is definitely politically incorrect and that is why we love him.

The man is a comedian for gods sake as long as he makes us laugh who cares? (But then again calling Brian a shirt lifter was a bit much.)

Darius

DariusSadly I was not in the club when this superstar popped in. Of course it is the one and only Darius - He was supposed to be TV X factors first flop instead he has turned into one of their biggest stars.

He is now playing the lead in the new Theatre production with ‘Gone with the Wind’ at the New London Theatre in the West End.

For you guys with a bit of age the original part was played by Clarke Gable one of the biggest heart throbs that ever came out of Hollywood.

So there you are Darius at least you can say that you are one of the biggest heat throbs that ever came out of Stringfellows.

The other two guys are in the show but sadly we don’t know who they are yet.

Channel 4 - Where is my G string

Peter Stringfellow with Lemmy’s guitar and JamesA little known fact is I never could play the guitar, but here I am with a Lemmy designed special guitar that I had to pretend I could play for a new TV programme called Relentless, which comes out soon on T4 for Channel 4. Right Here’s the plot, boy goes with his girlfriend to the Odeon Cinema Leicester Square, up comes an advert with me, Peter Stringfellow, which addresses him personally from the screen to tell him he has 15 minutes to get around to Stringfellows night club to answer the question ‘Where is my G string and thereby winning himself a couple of thousand pounds. Move on 50 minutes later, here he is with me answering the question. His name is James and he got it right! The moral of this story is when you go to the cinema don’t go to sleep when the commercials are on.

Tony Parsons “My Favourite Wife”

Tony ParsonsSometimes I actually leave the club and go and accept the odd invitation but it has to be something really special - On this occasion I was invited by Tony Parsons to help celebrate the release of his 6th novel. This one is called ‘My Favorite Wife’  - You may remember his first one which was a world wide success called ‘Man and Boy’  Why do I think Tony is special? Because I first met him when he was a writer for the Mirror before he had written his first novel and he was very supportive to my club and was a lot of fun and I now consider him a special friend of mine. So Here’s to you Tony, once again congratulations.

40 Commando Royal Marines

40 Commando Royal MarinesFrom the 40 Commando Royal Marines these guys have just recently finished a tour of Helman Province, Afghanistan. These boys have been injured during their various tours and on this night they were guests of my club just to show a little appreciation for the incredible job these guys are doing. As you can see there was nothing wrong with their eyesight as they chose some of the best girls in the club to party with. I am told that not all clubs welcome the armed forces. Well, my clubs are not like that and never will be. So when ever you’re in London boys, pay us a visit. You will instantly become a VIP.

Mike Robinson and Pie

Mike Robinson and PieWell can you believe it, here is Mike Robinson the very famous celebrity chef with his own TV programme called Heaven’s Kitchen. Around about October last year he popped in with a truffle that he’d found in a secret spot and we did a deal 25 dancers = 500 pounds = truffle. This time, when he walked in a few days ago he had no truffle but a pork pie. Ok, not any old pork pie, this was with home-made, organic-fed saddleback pigs. The deal was struck 3 dancers £60 and yes, I imediately cut a slice for myself and Bella and we ate it in the club. God knows know what he’s going to bring in on his next visit.

Roberto Cavalli

Roberto CavalliOne of the world’s most famous designers Roberto Cavalli (he’s the one that designed all the the Spice Girls outfits for their new world tour) together with 10 very personal friends decided to make a Christmas visit Stringfellows where he had 30 of my top dancers dance for him and his entourage. He is my fiancée Bella’s favourite designer in the world and has at least six of his outfits - I also have a lot of his fantastic shirts (the crinkly ones) but when it comes to his yacht which for a few days was moored in my port - Puerto Portals, Mallorca - it may be three times as big as mine but it’s an ugly brute. Everyone thought it belonged to the CIA and had just come from Iraq… So Roberto - love the shirts but get rid of the yacht. Whatever, we look forward to seeing you back in London as soon as possible…

PS.

Ok I’ll be honest it’s at least four times bigger then mine.

Timbalina McLaughlin

Timbalina McLaughlinA couple of days ago there was a charity day at ICAP in the City.  Four floors of very stressed out traders all gave up their time and commissions for this very special day. They were all wearing some incredible fancy dress outfits which were all so good I decided to hold some auditions and this is one that got in. Here she  is Timbalina McLaughlin. Her colleagues assured me that if I let her dance in Stringfellows they would donate a further 10,000 pounds to the Haven Breast Cancer Charity Trust. OK boys, we’re waiting for Timbalina, just make sure you bring the cheque with you.
