Secret Celeb Gossip #32

[Idontliketogossipbut]

That was me. The poster, that is. I wasn’t shagging BJ. A friend works for channel 4 and he seems to acquire the best gossip/info.

I’d knock off a Michelin star for that. I hope they bleached everything.

He actually had no idea who he was untill a colleague told him. Says Olly has the most massive mole on his

Unfortunately they do forget.
Prime example Ant McPartlin, drunk driver - welcomed back with open arms, all forgotten now.
[/QUO

That’s one of my pet hates, there’s no reason other than money, or tend as to who’s salvageable.
When you think of how little Eric and Ernie earned in comparison to Ant and Dec too! The former were comic geniuses who had honed their craft in music halls etc. The latter read repetitive “jokes” from an autocue, and trade on the ordinary lads/best mates shtick which looks more and more threadbare every year.
Theres still peeps blinded by the propaganda who pile onto DM comments re ex wives “greed” too!

I love that you mention a common humanity and a heartfelt note about humans, followed by Hammaconda

you have to break up the sincerity we’re not Americans

BIPOC is a North American one mainly, because the I for Indigenous doesn't really apply in the UK - although I guess it would do in Australia and New Zealand, is it in common usage down there? Person of colour is still the main one used in America, but in the UK we seem to be shifting to BAME.

Language and culture evolve. I don't really have a problem with the kids finding past telly programmes problematic or questioning it.

I'm old enough to remember when the likes of the Sun and Mail etc were screaming about how the Looney Left were corrupting our kids by saying gay people and ethnic minorities were equal and Piers Morgan was writing bait pieces titled EastBenders because 2 blokes on the TV kissed.

 

[BravoBrava]

Can you say why? I have heard that he is nothing like Chandler in real life but because he is quite serious and suffers badly from depression. I remember reading an interview where he said he couldn’t remember filming one of the seasons of friends because he was mostly in a drug haze, but haven’t heard him being not nice.

Does anyone have any WWE/Mcmhaon family tea? I bet there is loads!

Wrestling tea? Not the McMahons but the husband has stories. He’s not a wrestler but has encountered some of the big and not so big names back in the day.

Tbh I’m not a fan and only really know the WWE from when I was younger and watched it then so the not so big names I’d probably not have even heard of but if he has any stories about the bigger names, I’ll put the kettle on

Not a fan myself. Always brought a book to the local matches. The husband introduced me to Ox Baker and it never clicked in my head at that time he was the wrestler in Escape From New York.

I read about this on Twitter and some people were saying she has a pronounced accent or she very obviously has an accent but I can only hear an American one? No Spanish lilt?
As for her not remembering cucumber there are some people who have lived in the US all their lives and don’t know English or speak it badly because they grew up so entrenched in their communities. Not saying that is what is going on with Hillary but just putting it out there.

Her parents arent Spanish in the slightest though. Her parents are American doctors who's families have lived in the US for generations apparently from the article I read. She went to a very posh private school. Her parents retired to Majorca when she was an adult. I thought she was just a silly bored woman but actually after reading further, it sounds like poverty porn and really quite offensive. She had every privelege growing up but chose to pass herself off as a poor immigrant who couldnt speak English.

Wrestling is the most gossiped about industry. Throw me out any names you want info on and I guarantee I know something.

I'm inside out with embarrassment for her. Theory is that Alec liked Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz, so she pretended to be Spanish. Also said she didn't know who he was as she didn't have TV in Spain.
Pretending not to know the English for cucumber on a TV cooking segment though, oh my. An opportunity she'd taken from a genuine immigrant.
Dying to know how much Alec Baldwin knew. His stern insta story, complete with meaningful sighs and long silences has had me screaming. "consider the source" he says, but Alec, you were taking the piss out of Trump and his fake news rants, how is this any different.

If cis-Spaniards don’t like it they can choke on her Spanish paella. She identifies as Spanish so she is. That’s how it works now. American women are Spanish women, etc.

Yes I’m 40 and have never known anyone who uses the word coloured, in the 80s or since. I think these things are quite localised. I remember a friend telling me a bouncer had thrown someone out of a pub for calling him a ‘coon and neither me nor my 1950s born mother (there at the time) had ever heard of anyone being called that in the U.K. i Didn’t even know what it meant- my mum did but only from American books. Yet there was someone saying it in the mid 90s, in London.

The c**n word was used quite a lot when I was growing up in the 70’s. Haven’t heard it for years though. Can’t even bring myself to type it now!

I think we shifting away from BAME towards Person of Colour too.

 

[Definitely Maybe]

I was reading a recent interview with Tina Turner, in a newspaper mag I think, she referred to herself as 'coloured'

 

[petitspois]

I always think of Alec Baldwin and Hilaria as the characters in the film 'It's Complicated' where he marries a slightly deranged Spanish younger woman who's desperate for more babies.

 

[50sGirl]

I’ve just realised, where are the annual Emma Forbes in her cossie on the beach photo’s?
I wonder if they stayed at home this year hence no pics.
Christmas is ruined!

Gutted! I was also looking forward to seeing Philip Green and his gut slithering along the beach and also Simon Cowell and the hypnotist.

I just googled 'Emma Forbes Barbados' and a stream of hits came back from every single year!!

 

[LinaLamont]

Long time lurker but I had to comment after seeing this Hilaria Baldwin stuff. I just find the whole thing absolutely mortifying. She’s obviously a lunatic but surely Alec had to have known she was lying? He must’ve met her very American parents and family? And did her family just go along with this decade long performance? Imagine fabricating your whole identity so publicly knowing that an old classmate could whip out your yearbook pics and expose you at any point. So many questions

I’m 46 and when I was at school the term we were supposed to use was ‘coloured’. Saying black would have been really offensive. But then queer was really offensive too.

I was working in Primrose Hill in the 90s so have plenty of tea on Kate Moss and that lot, some seen with my very own eyes!

Ooh do share! Also not sure if you know there is a primrose hill thread!

The terms change so frequently, I think sometimes we get too caught up on language rather than actually fighting for equality.

Spill the tea on Kate Moss then! Dying to know!
