My background is working in national newspapers. We used to know loads of juicy gossip (and this was before social media took off and made it easy to find all this stuff out). Unfortunately I have a brain like a sieve and can't remember most of it!

Thanks for that.

I've been lurking for awhile but had a spare half an hour so thought I'd spill my beans I work somewhere in the media.

Brace yourself its going to be a long one!

David Walliams - Frosty to say the least but would turn the charm on for phone calls so felt extra weird and frosty when he'd finish the call and turn back to us dead eyed. A real 'come on, get on with it' vibe. Very dismissive. Left a bad taste.

He’s weird because what is he really now? An actor? No. A comedian? Maybe before but not really. A presenter? I suppose?

Jonathan Rhys Meyers - Warned off by handlers not to talk to him but he started chatting to us, really friendly and smelled like parma violets! This was during his lengthy cocaine hell period but seemed on top of it.

Rhys Ifans - Drunk but chatty when he had to be. Surprised to see him with loads of Spiderman merchandise from The Amazing Spiderman which he'd just done, phone case, back pack. Obviously loves a freebie!

James Corden - Now, this didn't happen to me but I trust the person who told me. Quite a few years ago on a film, everyone was on a break and they had some fun catering in as a reward to the crew, candy floss etc. One guy had a toffee apple in his hand and was talking to another crew member, without a word Corden walked straight between them and as he passed SLAPPED the toffee apple out of the guys hand and onto the floor. Corden kept walking and never looked back. Crew members shocked into silence. Haha, awful!

Timmy Mallet - He came to us straight from a funeral. We saw his car park up, he got out of the car, grey suit etc. In the short time coming up the stairs he had somehow transformed into 'TIMMY MALLET', quite the change, haha!

Very friendly, lots of questions. Basically forced me to have a photo with him, happy I did though. Was funny how his wife seemed to be in charge, even helping him with puns. Loads of Mallets for sale in the back of the car.

Phil Tufnell - Nice bloke, a bit confused. Wasn't a sports thing so was wondering why he was there, haha.

Lucy Watson (Made in Chelsea) - Very, very, very small.

Brian May - Very chatty, happy to give everyone a piece of him but it visibly tired him as it went on. Had to have some time to himself hiding in a little pop up tent.

Harry Redknapp - Very easy going, he asked if he nailed his lines on camera could he quickly nip next door to the bar as he had an accumulator on. He was in and out all day. I'm sure he can turn but can see why people warm to him.

Matthew Kelly - Very friendly, really likes crews. I knew, but was surprised how camp he was. Everything was innuendo!

Keith from the Office - Blankety blank. Harmless.

Keith Chegwin - Total pro, again, asked questions about everyone, really worked a room.

Everyone couldn't believe how 'up' he was all the time but once I was in the toilet cubicle, he came in and didn’t know I was there. Even alone he was chirpy and whistling, even did a 'wha-hey!' whilst washing his hands. He did mention how he used to down cough syrup in his drinking days when he couldn't get his hands on booze.

Also, his personalised car number plate was 'KC F2G'. We were all trying to work it out? We asked him as he was passing an office, without missing a step he said, Keith Chegwin F**ks Two Girls….???? Hahaha. WTF?

Tony Blackburn - Accidentally had lunch with him and I told him about my Mum loving him when he was younger. Happy to chat. Total WIG! Great from the front, bad from the back, too severe.

Russell Grant - Very sweaty. Great company, would sing show tunes to me. He had a mysterious peroxide young man following him about that never spoke.

Warwick Davies - Total pro, again lots of time for everyone. Knows what his career/fanbase is and leans hard into it.

Carol Smilie - Total Cnut. Demanding without deserving it. A chill in the air when she entered a room. Thankfully she's worn out her welcome now.

Jean Claude Van Damme - Whilst back on the booze and whatever else he slept with his own daughters stunt double! Head fcuk! He was cameo-ing in a film of hers.

Darren Day - His mockney accent is even stupider in real life. Embarrassing.

Stephen Graham - amazed how small he was. Like, as tall as a garden gate, haha. See also Tom Hardy. They’ve got big heads so look big on screen. They would be good for putting your pint on their head to rest.

Brian Blessed - Insane but great fun. Exactly what you’d want, a whirlwind! Went to his house. He has a Brian Blessed man cave for interviews and P.R. in his garage. You have to maneuver thorough his overgrown garden and loads of mess. He's very playful. Forced me to have a autographed book of his. Talked about going to Mars and how he visits NASA once a year to shout at them to hurry up before he dies!

Apart from Smillie, Walliams & Corden never come across anyone who is a definite wrong um.

To be honest most of the time the worst ones are the low levels actors, even extras sometimes, who have an unnecessary amount of entitlement, perhaps thats why the don’t get anywhere?

Or its all the surrounding PA’s/producers etc that amp it all up, don’t look at them! Leave them alone etc!

Reminds me of a friends experience, perfect example. My friend was on a car advert thing with Tom Hardy. Producers were all like 'leave him alone', 'Everyone who isn’t needed, get in this van', everyone was like, 'what?!?'

And because they didn’t know what coffee Tom likes they got one of everything from Starbucks - mad! When Hardy turns up, he’s like, 'where is everyone? where's the crew?' The producer reluctantly says, 'err over in that van'. Suddenly van doors open up, Tom has got all the drinks, hands them around and tells everyone to get out of the van. Producer looks like a massive dick.

Also, Hardy was supposed to stay within a certain driving distance of the producers in their follow car but Hardy decided it would be more fun to speed off with the camera guy and have some fun around town whilst the producers poo themselves. Fun!

Ooo, almost forgot! Max Bygraves! Years ago someone I knew worked in a hotel restaurant during a summer season whilst Bygraves was doing a show. One lunchtime as Bygraves passed through to the till, the person I know served him and then cheekily gave the tips jar a tap. Bygraves ignored it completely and carried on. When the person I know returned to work the next day, his manager called him in and said he now had to work in the kitchen and wasn’t allowed out front anymore. Apparently Bygraves had gone straight to management and said one of the staff had tried to force him to leave a tip and he wanted them fired! The manager wanted an easy life so to placate Bygraves he said he had but instead just moved him to the kitchen. This persons wife was so mad at this she sent Bygraves a letter saying how horrible he was. He REPLIED! Saying that he was a horrible person (he wasn't apologising) and that when he dies he was going to haunt them! Haha. Bizarre! He’s dead now and they’ve never heard ‘I’m a pink toothbrush’ echoing in the night so I guess he didn’t.

Phew, that'll do!

At the funerals I’ve attended it’s always been the funeral directors that have carried the coffin so they would have been trained and have the necessary strength. I don’t think I’ve been to one where family have carried it.
I personally don’t like the trolley thing but I can understand it if the deceased was very large. I just think it looks more respectful when they are carried in on their final journey.

It’s strange where your strength comes from in these situations .
I carried my son along with family members. People tried to say I shouldn’t ( it will be too heavy as he was 15 and tall, it will be too upsetting etc etc.
However I wanted to do it , I carried that boy into the world and I’d be damned if I didn’t carry him out to his next soul journey.
It wasn’t a case of him being heavy but it’s nerve wracking , I was paranoid that I’d trip as I’m quite clumsy , but I didn’t and it’s a comfort that I was brave enough to do it x

Do you have any other encounters you can share here?

off the top of my head…… I’ve worked there 14 years so there may be more that come to me:
Well I already mentioned Alison Hammond, who was a delight.
We’re in the midlands so tons of villa/blues players. Not very bright, verging on chavvy with girlfriends who look ridiculous but always polite nonetheless.
Joe Lycett was as fucking fabulous as you could possibly even hope for. Adored meeting him he even complimented me on what I was wearing, which considering he was in this sequin/peacock adorned blazer, I took to be winning at life!
Tony Hadley was fantastic as well, lovely with everyone, including the little old ladies that recognised him and approached him despite him just trying to enjoy lunch with his family.
Niall Horan, about as low key as a celeb you could ever wish to meet, just a totally nice and normal bloke. Same for Joe Jonas.
Sarah millican, lovely and super sweet, like she is on telly.
Location location location filmed the “have a drink whilst you discuss the houses you’ve seen” bit, I had Phil Spencer, who couldn’t have been nicer and bought a drink for all the crew (may have been a company/channel 4 credit card but didn’t seem like it at the time!)
My absolute fave story though, is a little niche. Toni Iommi (guitarist for black sabbath) used to live locally and is a huge huge deal on the metal/rock scene. He used to come in all the time with his wife (gorgeous woman, Swedish, ex girlband I believe) Nick Owen (news reader for midlands today, and his wife!) anyway, they were in probably weekly before they moved out of the area. Tony always wore all black, proper old rocker style. He always looked so smart and cool, but always, black jeans, black shirt, black blazer. Anyway, one time, (this was years ago when I was just a waitress) I was running round like an absolute dick in the weeds, I see their drinks are ready, grab the tray and head over, get there, and like a total fucking idiot, I land a gin and tonic in Tony’s lap. I’m so embarrassed, so apologetic, he’s totally cool, “its fine, it’s fine, this is why I wear black all the time” ha ha ha, laughs it off like a true gent. Meanwhile I dash off to make him another drink on the house, my GM at the time (who was fucking nuts BTW) gets wind of what’s happened, rushes over to apologise for my mistake, no joke, Tony Iommi looks him dead in the eye and said “dunno what you’re apologising for mate, nothings happened” my manager walked away embarrassed, and that was the day Tony Iommi had my fucking back, and clearly was not wanting me to get in trouble. A true class act. If o remember more I’ll report back

I don’t know if it’s just me but I find Sam Smith insufferable. I’m a fairly tolerant person but all this don’t call me he or she is pathetic attention seeking nonsense.

Just read that the lovely Sam Neill's cancer is not responding to treatment.

Just horrible. My four year old was diagnosed with leukaemia 6 weeks ago and it’s just horrible. Cancer doesn’t care who you are , what you do, how old you are

Chateau Marmont said:

Is there any dirt at all on Kylie Minogue? I've followed her career since I was five-years-old but I don't think I've ever read a single bad word. There must be something though. Nobody's that perfect in real life.

I used to work at a music venue and ended up speaking to her backstage when she asked me for directions - we ended up chatting about my baby who was teething at the time and I wasn't getting much sleep - she was so polite and chatty...anyway the year after she came back to my venue to perform again and she saw me and asked "got all his teeth now?"...i said i was shocked she remembered me and she seemed really taken aback and said "why wouldnt i?!".

Always warms my heart up thinking about how lovely she is, she was never someone I was interested in before that. I hope there's no awful dirt on her

Here’s the obligatory George Michael picture to wish us good luck on the first page of the thread.

Always applauded this photographer for his quick thinking.

Lads I've figured out who it is.

On the BBC
Welsh
Pillar of the community

Omg I would not have recognised her at all and not just because of the hair. It's a completely different face.



It's Kate Beckinsale btw.

Wait, “Live Laugh Love Actually”.

There is one thing I’m sure of, as night follows day, for the love of all that’s holy…Johnny Depp needs his facial hair back quick smart.
He now looks like a teaching assistant named Julie.

Totally and I hope the authorities see through this, plus some of them looked happy enough in pics to be in his helicopter etc and Virginia Roberts looked about 20 in her pic with Prince Andrew, they weren’t all vulnerable like its been reported.

Can we stop the victim blaming? Being over 16 doesn’t mean you’re suddenly immune to being groomed and exploited, which is exactly what happened to every single one of those girls. I’m quite disgusted at the turn this conversation has taken. People are almost excusing Epstein’s behaviour because the girls went back to him? Epstein was a scumbag who used his money and power to exploit hundreds of women and girls all over the world. Just because they looked happy in a couple of pics doesn’t mean anything. It’s called grooming for a reason and he preyed on girls from disadvantaged backgrounds which adds to their vulnerability. Sent people round high schools to ‘recruit’ them ffs. The first time they went to his place they didn’t know what to expect, he hired private investigators to threaten and stalk his victims if they spoke out. Being of a certain age doesn’t make you immune from certain types of abuse, r-kelly basically kept women prisoner in his mansion for years, they were mostly over 18 so technically adults Although the grooming started sooner, the parents couldn’t do shit to help them and he used this to his advantage. Heck, there was even one women speaking out on the r-kelly documentary who was older and even she suffered at his hands.

To say how can 17 year olds claim abuse because they went back to him just shows a complete lack of understanding of the situation these girls found themselves in. He was a powerful, manipulative rich man who could talk the talk AND walk the walk. He tricked teenage girls into thinking he loved them and he going to marry them so he could sexually exploit and abuse them and I can’t sit here and read comments implying they’re not really victims and not say anything, what’s been said about these victims is truly shameful.

Well I heard …..Philip Schofield is GAY!

All this talk about how long people should wait after someone dies kind of grates with me. It's no one's business . My Dad nursed my mum through leukaemia, she had a particularly aggressive kind and survived only 5 months after diagnosis. When she died he was utterly broken, some time after he told me he had contemplated suicide as he couldn't imagine life without her. He met his now wife within a year and it gave him something to feel hopeful for. I will forever be grateful to her for that. He still misses my mum desperately, he talks to her and thinks of her every day- but she's not here. People have no right to judge others for moving on.

A few years ago I went to a seance and the medium conjured up the spirit of 1970s disco legend Gloria Gaynor.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified!

These activists say it better than I can about how she was transphobic, that trans rights don't occlude women's rights, and condeming retaliatory abuse. So I'll leave it at that.

When biological women are being told to put and shut up when raising concerns about sharing safe spaces with trans women’s many of whom haven’t even bothered to have surgery and when forced to play sports alongside trans women are physically bigger and stronger, then yes it does occlude women’s rights.

But this isn’t the place so I’ll leave it there.

Ok I feel the need to speak out about my earlier post confirming I saw Peter Kay at Christie’s as I got some pretty nasty comments. I did see him in the hospital a few years back. I did not “put it out there” and break some gossip. The subject has been greatly discussed here and mentioned many times way before I even came here - I only joined this site in summer so I’m hardly a “news breaker” . All I did was say yea I saw him there. I still have cancer and will do as it’s not curable. I did NOT break this news and only reacted to other comments. This is Tattle - a gossip site. The abuse I got from some people earlier ain’t cool. We are all here to gossip about slebs. That’s all I wanted to say. I’ve been feeling guilty all day thinking I have done something awful but actually I haven’t. There were many many people before me discussing this. Anyway. I love Frey bentos pies and findus pancakes.

I love these threads and have never had anything to contribute before, but here we go!

This might be stale tea! But the other day we were talking about the BBC and I said they have a lot of shit to cover up, my mum asked what I meant

Me: “oh well David Walliams is massive dirty pervert apparently”
Mum: “I could have told you that years ago!”

So, my Ma used to worked with a guy who was in the same S&M group as him and they had to actually ban and throw him out of it!
I don’t know much about S&M, but what the fuck do you have to do to be banned from a group doing it?!
