Eastenders
The bloke who plays Phill Mitchell in Eastenders (whose name I can't be arsed to look up) was in Hull a good few years ago to reopen the newly refurbished Kwik Save store in a shopping centre on the local far from salubrious housing estate.

I was on my way to the post office and as I passed the throng I stopped. I called over "Glad you coud come, this'll look great on your CV". The look he gave me was one of "have I really been reduced to this" dawning on him.

Haha, nice
I suppose I can understand low-rent slebs like these supplementing their modest income with personal appearances, but I've often wondered why it is that people like A-list Hollywood stars and top-flight sportspeople feel the need to scrape together a bit on the side beyond the multiple millions that they make in their day jobs.

I mean, how big must George Clooney's mortgage be that he needs to moonlight flogging coffee? Doesn't Beckham make enough cash for not playing football to buy Victoria another entire wardrobe of ugly clothes, without having to slap his mug all over ads for sunglasses?

I'm sure that more than a few are lookalikes!

Sponsorships...
It's the sponsorship deals that give them the big bucks though....
