Is there any positive celeb gossip that defies the expected trope of a celeb being a dick?
Like is there any celeb that has a reputation for being awful but actually is a well adjusted human?
I need heart warming stories please
I've got one. I think I've told it here months ago though. But I interviewed Johnny Borrell from Razorlight a few years ago at a festival, they were headlining.
I've heard countless times that he's meant to be an arse.
Anyway, I did other artist interviews that day and the festival PR then said Razorlight weren't doing interviews after all. So once I'd done my last one, I hit the bar and watched the live music. I was off duty after all.
Unfortunately, I played catch-up with my friends a bit too quick and as I'd been working all day, I'd barely eaten. Long story short... I got absolutely shitfaced.
Just as Razorlight were finishing their set, the PR lady called me and said to get backstage now as Johnny Borrell would give me a five minute interview. I was so drunk that I stupidly agreed.
I could barely stand, needed help walking, was slurring and asked the poor bugger the same question over and over again. He was very polite and patient, nothing like he was previously portrayed. My boyfriend was looking through his fingers at my car crash unfolding. It was just awful.
I can't bring myself to listen to that interview again. It's a total cringe-fest for me. Horrible. Makes my toes curl with embarrassment.
Being the classy bird I am, I had to get my boyfriend pull over on the way home to be sick. When I got home, I crashed out on the kitchen floor, face down in a Superman pose. That was the first time my boyfriend ever saw me that drunk.
There's been other times since. Similar situation, working all day at a festival and playing catch-up on the booze. I fell asleep absolutely wankered during Slipknot at Download Festival last year.
Here's some of bands I've interviewed that were lovely:
Feeder - Funny, lovely gentlemen.
Scouting for Girls - An absolute scream and offered me gin from their rider for when I finished work. I declined, but they were diamonds.
L7 - Quite hard work, but once warmed up, really great fun and chatty.
Chas and Dave - Just wonderful. Chas Hodges was so sweet, really humble, chatty, warm and a dream to talk to. Loved him.
She never lived in Spain. She was born and brought up completely in the US with some holidays to Spain. Her parents retired to Spain without her because she was 27!! Why the hell would two American parents with no Spanish heritage decide to bring up their American children in 2 different cultures? My son is learning Spanish at school and loves Enchillada's. Doesn't mean I'm bringing him up as Mexican! She's a complete liar saying she was brought up in two cultures. If you go on holiday to another country you have no idea of the culture of that country! You're a tourist! Her parents must be dying of embarrassment.
and keeping me distracted
