Simon is as gracious as always it seems. A fun thought to imagine dining with them, never happen.... sigh. |

I am astounded by the amount of money people have to spend to bid for a dinner with Simon. It must be gratifying and terrifying at the same time for him. I still wonder how much was finally paid for the 3 hour surfing lesson with him last fall. (I stopped bidding before it even got to the post-internet bidding.)
He could probably fund the whole film just by going out to eat with people.
Thanks for that tidbit, Fran! |

From the Northernstar:
Two locals among the most loved Aussie celebrities
TWO Northern Rivers locals, Olivia Newton-John and Simon Baker, have been included in this year's list of most loved Australian celebrities, known as the Encore Score.
Hugh Jackman topped the list as the most popular celebrity, followed by fellow home-grown Hollywood success stories Cate Blanchett (2) and Eric Bana (3).
Singer and Newrybar business owner Olivia Newton-John was placed as number 4 in the list, with Nashua actor Simon Baker closing the top ten list.
Both Baker and Newton-John have been placed in the top ten of the most-loved celebrities in the country in each of the three occasions the survey has been conducted.
The study, compiled for the third time by Pureprofile and commissioned by Focal Attractions, reveals the popularity of Australian personalities.
Launched in 2012, and commissioned by Focal Attractions, the Encore Score uses a list of more than 1000 local and international names that have graced Australian screens, radios, magazines and billboards.
It asks 3000 everyday people whether they've heard of the figures, and how they rate them on a scale from those they consider to be their favourites to those they hate.
The Top 10 most popular
01 Hugh Jackman
02 Cate Blanchett
03 Eric Bana
04 Olivia Newton John
05 Anh Do
06 Hamish Blake
07 Rebecca Gibney
08 Amanda Keller
09 Nicole Kidman
10 Simon Baker

The information came from me The Instagram site (another fan) just reported it
I got the info from the Longines Facebook online team. But they unfortunately gave me no more info yet. That´s all they wrote to me:
Dear Sabine. Simon will be joining us at Royal Ascot. Best regards.
I wish I knew more so I could look if I could make it there even tho this event is so high class and I would feel out of place. |

Thanks for the info Tina and Smileygirl. I've read that Channel 4 (UK) will be broadcasting the races so us mere mortals that can't afford to go may still get a glimpse of Simon! I wonder what days he will attend and if Rebecca will accompany him? Perhaps he'll get to meet the Royals! Just hope the weather is fine for him. |

Ah thanks, that's good news, Simon said he wanted to go to Royal Ascot. My guess is he'll be there Thursday which is Ladies Day and the Gold Cup. There's always extensive coverage on Channel 4, and they're very good about giving airtime to the sponsors, so a short interview is almost certain. |

It´s no problem at all tinamarianne...only wanted to confirm that it´s true (as far as I can say, because you never know as far as there has been no official announcement)
I am always happy when he comes to Europe and I am glad he likes it here so much |

Thanks for the updates. The trouble with Royal Ascot is that Simon may only be in the posh enclosure. Hopefully get to see him on telly though, even if only briefly (as long as he doesn't have to spend time with Gok Wan, that guy really irritates me!).
I wonder if it's just a flying visit, or if Simon's combining it with other things in Europe. |

Fran I agree with you about Gok Wan! He gets everywhere! I was hoping Simon might combine his visit with a short family holiday but according to Google, school holidays (for the boys) in Sydney don't start until 27th June so maybe not. And there was I dreaming of Stella "hitting it orf" with Prince Harry!!
