Secret Celeb Gossip #27

Re the mention of Rik Mayall a few posts back- has anybody got any tea? Only good tea I hope because I loved him. Still do.

Just this from Popbitch

"When I got married in 2011, my other half and I thought it'd be funny to write to celebs for good wishes on our big day and get the best man to read them out. Loads of people responded. Peter Andre even responded within 2 days of posting! However, the best one came from someone who forgot to respond in time.

"In March 2012, we got a letter from Rik Mayall. He had written over the top of the original letter: 'OH SHIT! Alan, I just found this letter on my desk and realized I forgot the bloody wedding. Hope you had a great day, and please give Julie a TITANIC shag from me.'

"It is my most prized possession."

About age gap relationships. My late husband was 29 years older than me. Started dating when I was 22, though we were friends for a few years. And I loved him with all my heart. He was Indian, I'm Irish. We had so much against us; racist comments, age gap comments from people who just couldn't mind their own business. We had a daughter. I spent 19 wonderful years with him until one day he died suddenly in front of us at home. The cruelest thing I've ever gone through because we never had a chance to say goodbye or to prepare.
He was my everything. I learnt so much from him. We had so much in common, shared same sense of humour, enjoyed same activities and love animals.
I know people baulk about age gap relationships, but I just wanted to have my say. I loved him and was totally content. I didn't give a damn what others thought. It was my life, my choice and I have no regrets.

Enjoying the 'tea' very much still

I was reminded yesterday of Barbara Knox Rita from Corrie when her daughter was done for drink driving,Barbara wasn’t having any of this so drove to the police station giving it the don’t you know who I am ? The copper went have you been drinking madam ? To which she was breathalysed and found to be over the limit so both of them got done

The problem I have with Peaches Geldof is that if she’d been a young working class mum living on a sink estate, she would have been vilified. But because she was beautiful and famous she’s treated with a lot more sympathy. Fact is, she took heroin while in sole charge of her baby, and he was alone for something like 17 hours after she died.

I met Jeremy Kyle once at a bar and he was pissed as a fart, I borrowed his lighter and it dawned on me who he was. I was also very pissed and told him his veneers were ridiculous in real life...luckily he found it hilarious. He bought me a jagerbomb when we were back inside....and the rest is history

- i am joking of course, the jagerbomb finished me off and i was escorted home to puke on my doorstep.

I think footballers and people associated with the the game get away with so much in this country. Gazza is still considered a hero despite being a dead beat, raging alcoholic who severely beat up his ex wife and left her with a broken arm. Rooney is a hero despite his serial cheating and shagging of prostitutes, George Best drank himself to death after receiving a liver transplant that could have gone to someone else.

It’s the patriarchy in action.

As for Harry Redknapp he’s not even that good a manager is he? He’s hardly a Ferguson or a Mourinhio.

Bob Monkhouse- My family used to visit this nightclub which was attached to Enfield Football club. It was a meal, a comedian or act, plus disco after. I was still a teenager and sometimes I did not want to go, but a big group of us went so it was a good multi generation night out. I saw all sorts of comedians there, some I found tedious (Jimmy Tarbuck/Kenny Lynch - Tarbuck thought he was doing you a favour by being there, Norman Collier and his one trick pony act of broken mic, Jimmy Cricket, Frank Carson, Bob Carolgees and his puppet).

The two standouts who always sold out fast were Joe Longthorne and Bob Monkhouse. Joe’s act was not my cup of tea but he was very talented. I was not looking forward to Monkhouse but he was mesmerising. He did a long set, clearly enjoyed himself and loved performing. His wit was rapier like, he liked riffing with the audience. The club was an intimate setting, not a vast cavern of a place - velvet booths type of place, not Phoenix Night or working man’s club style, and towards the end of his set he did a prolonged round of talking to individual audience members, and he had a personal joke for everybody based on their name, what they did etc. He did is so fast he was like a computer bringing forth a joke at the tap of a key. My opinion of him changed so much after that, he was a proper performer who had honed his craft.

I feel very sorry for Lisa. Some may think she is not moving on and always tweeting for attention but I think she is just someone sticking up for herself - good for her.

As we learn more about the ways of James Grant management (mostly from reading Tattle) I have no doubt that these stories are coming from there. She has the skeletons and they are doing so much to her discredit her and make her look like the scorned woman so that if she ever did say something she wouldn’t be believed

I agree with everyone defending Lisa. If people are asking why a woman with money and a very successful career of her own is always in the papers, especially for completely unflattering reasons that make her out to be completely unstable you need to follow the money, and that leads straight back to Ant and his management company. The tabloids and ITV have a symbiotic relationship and ITV have a few 'stars' on golden handcuff huge money deals. They cant afford to lose Ant and Dec as they have no one of similar stature to replace them. They are doing everything they can to discredit Lisa and the tabloids are helping them because otherwise they wont get stories about the other ITV stars. Almost nothing is printed about ITV's big presenters that is derogatory, even though they have a shitload of skeletons in their closet. The fact that Ant hasnt called off his dogs harrassing a woman who he has known since he was a child and who he was married to for over 10 years says more about him than anyone else.

I remember when Gregg was on SCD, think he got voted off first. I recall him saying he was not wearing underpants under his dancing gear. Vom. Before he went on he said that his wife/gf at time was not worried about him going off with the dancers, he would be faithful. Like it was only the fact that he was going to be faithful that stopped him having an affair - no mention that the attractive dancers would find him highly resistible.

And then there is this.....

Be careful complimenting Jameela Jamil, you may just get her on her soapbox (though, it doesn't take much to start her off)....

She is SO ANNOYING. Story (and her replies) on the Daily Fail and other places.

If Lisa was that bothered about confidentiality and wrong hands getting hold of her stuff she could have easily afforded to have paid for someone to dispose of it In a confidential way. The fact that she hasn’t done so to me speaks volumes eg she either doesn’t care what happens or can’t be bothered.

Stop blaming her. She like all of us should expect not to have people rummaging through her bins.

Just because she has the money doesn’t mean she has to pay for people to discard of her rubbish because vultures are rooting through her bins. She has the right to privacy she shouldn’t have to buy privacy.

 

[AlanBanan]

ladies and gents, one day I’m gonna get jameela jamil by the hair and never stop slapping. That woman is nothing but a moron.

Regarding Kelvin Fletcher, this is not gossip, but calm the fuck down. Just because he is a Tory and pro-Brexit (like more than half the country), doesn’t mean he is racist.

That is a really dangerous and divisive conclusion to jump to.

This country is pretty racist tbf

Yes, I remember that. I thought at the time that it was bollocks. More likely trying to disguise the fact that she wasn’t 20 any more. Then she wore that hideous outfit to do a dance to the Flashdance theme (below) and we were all supposed to think that she had emerged from a sexy chrysalis or something. She really should have had more respect for her thighs. She looked like somebody’s embarrassing auntie. The hallmark of an ex-stage school pupil: they can’t wait to get into a leotard and do jazz hands.

Or maybe the wardrobe department simply copied the outfit from Flashdance?

My favourite line on the show:

Les - Name something yellow.

Woman - My cardigan Les. (And it was as well, one of those hand knitted crew neck buttons down the front sort!)

So many daft FF answers! Some of my favourites -

Name a bird with a long neck - Naomi Campbell

Name a dangerous race - The Arabs

Name something that floats in the bath - Water

A number you have to memorize - 7

Something that flies that doesn't have an engine - A bicycle with wings

Something you might be allergic to - Skiing

Something a cat does - Goes to the toilet

Here is my very weak tea. Esther Rantzeen - served her when I worked in retail- miserable stuck up woman. Karl Howman he of brush strokes fame ( obvs only oldies will remember) brought a baseball cap and equally miserable. Once partied with the cast of boogie nights the theatre show, ended up calling Shane Ritchie inviting him out with us but he declined- he was with coleen at the time.. Lastly pip Schofield was caught doing some questionable dance moves with another man when he was in Joseph under the palladium staircase .
*edit I actually think the person in question may of been Jason Donovan but will need to check my sources out•••

So just to clarify, was he in Joseph or was he in Joseph?

Rebekah Vardy is truly a horrible human being though. A single minded, ruthless social climber who’d sell her Granny if it meant achieving, power, money and fame. She basically traded up in men until she hit the jackpot and bagged a Premier League footballer. This is a woman who sold a Kiss and Tell about Peter Andre when she was teenager and mocked the size of his penis. She’s a twat. The fact that Jamie has been estranged from his family since he met her and they didn’t attended his wedding and haven’t met his kids says everything you need to know about the kind of person she is.

Does anyone remember when the England WAGs were involved in some kind of riot during the last World Cup or possibly the Euros and she made herself their official spokesperson, urgghhhh. Anything to get her trout pout on GMB!

I don’t care if there was a pile on and people were mean to her, she got her just deserts after her behaviour in IAC. I’m Team Colleen and always will be!

Ben Foden was caught cheating again! His wife just posted dm comments claiming he’s ugly and tagging him in it zLOL So bizarre. He’s been messaging ex from home for longtime - Chester gal here! Hence why wifey is never invited home. She must have found out which caused for the erratic posts tonight.......

Keep getting Ben Foden confused with Ben Fogle

A "thank you" would have been fine

They always seem to publish really unflattering photos of Lisa. Its not fair. She’s not some wannabe who rode off Ant’s coat tails. She met him when they were kids and has a successful career in her own right, she’s never used Ant’s name and kept her maiden name. She used to do make overs on This Morning years ago and I didn’t even realise she was Ant’s wife at the time. As a PP has said she is head make it artists at Strictly and is is very popular with the crew and professional dancers who always rush to her defence when she’s attacked. I think that speaks volumes.
