Secret Celeb Gossip #25

Sure the sax player on "Baker Street", Raphael Ravenscroft, dined out on the tale of him writing the sax melody on that song for years, complaining that he wasn't given any publishing.

And then the demo of that track was released a few years ago, with Gerry Rafferty being clearly heard playing that melody line that he wrote.

If you were a young lad, you wouldn't want Raphael teaching you sax, if you catch my drift.

Which reminds me, Andrew Lloyd Webber's dad William was another one a bit too keen on young male pupils.

So am I. The ‘Amber Heard’ actress looks, as my husband would say, like a bulldog licking p*** off a nettle but I suppose that might be an accurate representation of Amber’s actual facial expressions whilst her marriage was breaking down!

It is not a patch, cheese-wise, on the programme C5 made about the early days of Wham! and George Michael.

bib ^ could you give me a pointer where to find this masterpiece please? sounds amazing just what i need to cheer myself up

Might be on ‘My5’ or something? Here it is:

To give you some insight into the production values, the bedroom of teenage George has been given an eighties flavour by the addition of a Human League poster, which looks as if it is from around 1995 by the ages of Phil Oakey, Susan Sulley and Joanne Catherall in the picture!

I really enjoyed the book - definitely recommend it!

Was it s pop up?
I could do with a laugh

 

[Gym&Tonic]

Those Channel 5 docu dramas about pop singers are hilarious. The Freddie Mercury and ABBA ones were especially tit. I don’t know if I was meant to find them amusing?

I really like Judge Rinder. Not his show, him. Nothing wrong with his show, other than tired old format. Seems like a decent bloke when you see him on other stuff.

A friend of mine was a guest at a wedding a few years ago where Rob Rinder was also a guest. He said he was one of the nicest guys he had ever met. So your judgement is sound!

Coming this fall a Kartrashian TV re-boot: Kartrashian Un-Dateables. No decent man will date or marry any of them. They dont have a lot of choices. You've never seen any of them date an intellectual, a captain of industry, a person with morals, or anyone truly powerful/smart. Rappers and ballers are the only options they have. Even skum bucket drug lords steer clear of these klowns. Watch every week as the Klan scrape the gutters of Hollyweird for the most disgusting examples that this abhorrent society can muster. Executive producer Kriscifer, of course. Follow-up series will be called The life of Khlomidia Roldan a mystery 3 part series of the secretive Alex Roldan, Kongs real father.

Lloyd Webber’s brother was abused. How horrible I don’t know about the dad.

 

[Pixie06]

He does seem really sound. He is old friends with Benedict Cumberbatch. I’ve heard both are very nice

Didn't Judge R do the marriage service Cumberbact and his wife.

This just makes him even more likeable if so.

Might be that Cumberbact married Rinder and his husband. One of those 2, of both!

Will have a read, any standout tea apart from Liam you can remember?

I really can’t remember off the top of my head, I need to read it again. it was an absolute page turner.

Remember folks, I also recommended Freak Like Me and Totally Scott-Lee

No it was the other way round.

Here's some retro gossip - mentioning because I'm an admirer of David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe (the ONLY "MM") and I used to read Smash Hits religiously when I was a teen. I can't remember this ancient snippet of gossip at all. Can anyone elaborate on this, or maybe it was a red herring shared for shits 'n' giggles from a bored PR person?

(Screengrab thanks to this Twitter page/link - the issue concerned is Smash Hits 26th August 1986)


I actually think it sounded like a cool idea - apart from Madonna being a completely hopeless actress.

Did anyone see the documentry on Channel 5, about the Duke and Duchess of Wessex a week or so ago? I know there has been much speculation about whether Edward 'bats for the other team" but has anyone noticed how masculine, Sophie is in appearance.....!

Frankly, no. Sophie is one of the most elegant Royal ladies, along with the Duchess of Suffolk.

Maybe that’s what he was driving at when he kept saying that she always caught him when he fell.

Yeah, fell into another woman’s vag.

 

[Biatchtiats]

I believe so - Lily apparently admitted it in her book. I’ve not read it though- if anyone else has I’d love to know if it’s any good.

I read it... it’s rubbish!
