Simon Le Snob

Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon was often accused of being a snob. "I'm not a snob," he once declared. "Ask anybody. Well, anybody who matters."

[Trivia: After seeing model Yasmin Parvaneh on a magazine cover one day, Le Bon called her agency and asked her for a date. "Who does he think he is?" one observer joked. "A rock star?" (They were later married.)]

Simon Le Bon: Motorcycle Crash

Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon once described a testiclular injury sustained during a motorcycle crash on a British televison show aimed at raising cancer awareness. "I went over the handlebars," Le Bon explained. "My ball swelled up like a grapefruit and split." The aptly-named show? "Better Mind Your Bollocks."

[Le Bon also escaped death when his boat capsized during a boating competition (in 1985).]

Duran Duran Fan

In August 2003, Duran Duran played a show in a Los Angeles club to warm up for three reunion dates. At an afterparty at Chateau Marmont, Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon was approached by a fan who proudly declared that he had been offered $1,000 for his ticket. "You didn't take it!?" Le Bon replied. "I would have."

Yasmin Le Bon

Model Yasmin Le Bon "quit modeling to retain her self respect and keep her moral compass, but reconsidered and returned to the catwalk."

Duran Duran Fans

In August 2000, Simon Le Bon and his Duran Duran bandmates were sued by a 57-year-old unemployed machinist. Cornell Zachary sought millions of dollars in damages, claiming that "millions" of telephone calls which he received from the band's fans had caused "life-threatening high blood pressure episodes" as well as nerve damage, sleep disturbance and permanent health problems.
The cause? Duran Duran had mistakenly listed his phone number on the Web as a hotline for tickets and merchandise - and had left it there for several weeks.

["They have never even given me a sorry card, you know?" Zachary said.]

Jennifer Aniston & Duran Duran

Jennifer Aniston: "I can remember waking up at five in the morning when I was a teenager to go to a record store signing by Duran Duran. My girlfriends and I had every one of their albums, including those rare albums from Europe with two songs that have never been heard. We had every video. Videos of the making of the videos. Anyway, I got up at the crack of dawn and went with a red rose to the video store where they were doing the signing. There was already a line around the block. I waited all day with that red rose. Finally, I work my way to fifth in line. All of a sudden, they lock the doors and everybody in line goes crazy. And I'm standing there with this bent rose from battling all these animals. Of course I was bummed."

["I've been on both sides now," Aniston later remarked of the fan phenomenon, "but that doesn't make it any easier to understand."]

Duran Duran Look-Alike Contest

"We'd hire a little working men's club in Birmingham," Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon once recalled of the band's early days, "and all put our 80's mullet wigs on and big shoulder pads suits, and we would enter Duran Duran competitions - and win!"

Kibbutzer?

Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon was once asked about his musical influences. Patti Smith's Horses, Le Bon explained, held a special place in his heart:
"It got me through three months in the desert in Israel in 1978," he declared. "That and an Israeli soldier girl."

[Le Bon would often lie on the floor of his parents' home in Middlesex and listen to a particular album. "I would turn the speakers so they would point at each other and I would put my head in between them and listen," Le Bon recalled. "Affected my hearing a little bit, actually." The album? Wendy Carlos's score for A Clockwork Orange. (Le Bon also gave nods to Bowie's Aladdin Sane, Mitchell's Blue, Genesis's The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and the Stones' Let It Bleed).]

[Trivia: Duran Duran's name derives from a classic Jane Fonda scene in Roger Vadim's Barbarella. "There's one magnificent moment where she's naked in front of this guy from the world, from the Federation of the Universe or whatever," Le Bon once explained, "and he says, 'I want you to find Duran Duran from Planet Earth.' Yeah!"]
