The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

Recommended Posts

Stephen Joyce, 87, grandson and last descendant of James Joyce.

A stroppy character by all accounts, and a DDP miss.

 

He kept strict control of his grandfather’s legacy, in 2004 threatening the Irish government with a lawsuit to prevent public readings on Bloomsday, the annual celebration of Ulysses, launching innumerable tussles with scholars over books on Joyce, and refusing permission to quote from Joyce’s writings. Academics, he told the New Yorker in 2006, were like “rats and lice – they should be exterminated!”

The mother of the Mayor of Pittsburgh Bill Peduto has died it has been revealed.

I wonder why the social media intern felt the need to put the disclaimer SAD NEWS. Feels like you could gather that info from just reading the headline.

I used to work with Alison and met her mum once or twice. Very sad news. 

 

It's no business of mine, but are you a celebrity yourself? Just curious.
