Scott Robinson开了家店，卖名人纪念品，可惜中国没有...相关英语新闻（我英语一般，只能读懂大意）：Five singer to open own shop 15th February 2008 - This Is South End A FORMER boy band star has opened a new shop selling celebrity memorabilia. Scott Robinson, from Pitsea, was a member of chart-toppers Five, who scored three number one singles, sold millions of albums and adorned the walls of teenage girls during the late 1990s. But now the 28-year-old is focusing his energies on Celebrity Scribbles, in London Road, Leigh, where collectors can pick up signed items from the world of showbiz and sport. Scott said: "We've got a lot of good things here and I'm just hoping to get lots of people through the door. "We also sell unsigned items like canvasses and framed pictures. We've got everything across the board and our stuff ranges in price." Among the pieces on offer is a signed Queen album, A Night At The Opera, which is valued at ?,495 and a signed Arsenal shirt from their unbeaten 2003-4 season, worth ?00. Scott said: "I've always been interested in collecting memorabilia and recently I met someone in the business of selling it, which gave me the idea of starting up a shop." He said being in Five for several years had helped him build up a range of showbiz contacts and he had also been taking advice from a friend who ran a similar shop in Basildon. Since Five split in 2001, Scott has been acting and performing, most notably in the musical Boogie Nights 2. The band briefly reformed at the end of 2006 and Scott now also runs a management company, Killer Media, with Capital FM DJ Chris Brooks. He said: "I'm a sensible human being. I can't just sit around because I've got two kids, a wife and a dog to look after. So running two businesses is a good idea to bring in money for the family." He set up Celebrity Scribbles, which replaces another collectibles shop, with partner Simon Jay, 34, also from Pitsea. He said: "The shop had everything we needed so we could start straight away. It's close to home and in a nice area." Scott, who is married to childhood sweetheart Kerry Oaker, used to go to Eversley Primary School and Chalvedon School, both in Pitsea. He is keen to bring some celebrities down to the shop for signings and said he hoped Southend United manager Steve Tilson would do so in the near future.
