When Tamlin Met Har Mar Superstar
WHEN WE FIRST FOUND OUT WE WERE SOON TO INTERVIEW HAR MAR SUPERSTAR, THE CHUBBY, BALDING, 39 YEAR OLD MAN WHO SINGS ABOUT SEX WHILE DANCING IN HIS UNDERPANTS AND RUBBING HIS BARE NIPPLES WE DIDN’T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT…
Would he spontaneously strip off treating us all to a lap dance and our own personal rendition of Sex Tape, Gangsters Want To Cuddle Me or any of his other songs? Or would he try and work some of his infamous charm which has worked on so many groupies in the past? To our surprise it was none of the above actually. When we met Mr Superstar he was dressed in jeans and a jumper nursing a rock n roll glass of Cranberry juice and much to our disappointment we saw not one of his nipples the entire time we were there! What follows is Tamlin’s sometimes awkward but mostly full of love, chat with Mr Superstar, watch the whole thing on Thisisjack.tv.
Are we right in saying you’ve had a bit of a long day today? Yeah man. I’ve been shooting all day for channel Five doing the Gadget Show. They asked me to help them make a music video so I’ve been dancing around all day long. It’s all good.
There’s kind of a few sides to you. The notorious Har Mar Superstar, the rockier version of that, Sean Na Na and just the everyday normal Sean Tillman. Which one are we meeting today?
They’re kind of all the same person. Har Mar and Sean Na Na are just characters I created.
I keep expecting you to strip off and rub your nipples or something.
Well you never know… but I normally only do that when I’m being paid. Sorry!
Sean Na Na a legendary Indie pop guy but Har Mar Superstar is more renowned for getting in your pants and going on dates with Kelly Osbourne. Which do you prefer?
Erm. I don’t know. I’m the same guy no matter who I’m performing as but a lot more people concentrate on the Har Mar Superstar image more than Sean, the other side of me. I’d prefer it though if people concentrated more on the music than all that.
You’ve written a lot of songs for different people. I heard you wrote one for Britney but she turned you down? Yeah that happened. It just wasn’t the right time but eh, what can you do? It happens.
It’s coming up to Valentines day what do you think is a good way to spice things up in the bedroom? A dance maybe? Prostitutes. I’m a big fan of turning off the lights and seeing what happens. You just have to be sexy you know? Depending on what your interpretation of sexy is.
What’s your interpretation of sexy?
It depends on the situation really.
[We were hoping for a sexy dance for the camera here... it didn’t happen]
What about in this situation right now? How would you be sexy?
I feel like I’m being set up a bit now…
You had an album out in October can you talk us through it?
It’s more an electro / pop kind of a
mixture of my first two albums. With a bit of a rock edge like the old days.
I’ve heard lots of rumours about you bringing groupies backstage with you. Is there any truth in these filthy rumours?
Of course! Why wouldn’t you? It happens a lot. I get quite a few offers which is nice. I get given blow jobs quite a lot. No ones going to turn that down are they?
You took Kelly Osbourne on a date in 2002, did you get in her pants? It wasn’t a date as such, we went out more as friends. I took her to an awards show I think. So I wasn’t really trying it on with her.
Have you got into any celebrities pants? I wouldn’t possibly be able to say. I wouldn’t like to kiss and tell.
