So was he called Ryan Ryan?I booked some models for a photo shoot, one I booked a lovely little boy called Rayn.
The little boy turns up with his dad. His dad was Lee Ryan from Blue! I've never been into boybands, so wasn't fazed, but loads of my female colleagues kept making excuses to come down to the set.
He seemed very aware of the minor fuss and seemed to lap it up. He had a tinge of arrogance about him, but not enough to make me dislike him.
His little boy was impeccably behaved and we did the shoot quickly.
Yes.So was he called Ryan Ryan?
Poor kid.Yes.I know right?
I think his name is 'Rayn' like rain. But still bad enough!So was he called Ryan Ryan?
Please bore us! We’re here for it!Hello. Newbie here. Loving it. This is my first post.
Due to my work in media, I’ve met tons of famous people and been surprised both in a good way and bad way.
Here’s some I recall:
Finley Quaye
Nice as pie in the interview, but an absolute tool when the camera stopped rolling. He believed he was much bigger and talented than he actually was. He was demanding, rude, arrogant and full of himself. He kept disappearing off stage mid show to ‘go to the toilet’, leaving the session musicians still playing onstage looking bemused. He also smoked a joint onstage, soooo rock and roll! Punters walked out the gig and some demanded refunds.
Scouting for Girls
An interviewer’s dream. They were funny, charming, chatty, really lovely and down to earth. Even offered me gin from their rider!
The Wurzels
Interviewed them year before last, they were adorable, very cheeky, offered us food and drink from their rider (we politely declined) and they even randomly made a joke onstage that my boyfriend had proposed to me! No idea why, but our mates fell for it too!
Stereophonics
I interviewed them before they were big, Stuart the drummer (RIP) was a total sweetheart, but Kelly the lead singer, completely up his own backside and very arrogant, rude and acted like he was above us.
Jim Davidson
I appeared on Big Break, aged 19. In the bumph from the production team, there was a stipulation that female contestants MUST wear a dress or skirt! When Jim came to sit by me for the intros he made comments about my “nice legs”, then looked me up and down and turned around to the other female contestant and male contestant and said “She’s won, not you!” pointing at me. He then slid off his chair in a ‘comedy’ fashion and you see my crossing my legs so he didn’t see up my skirt from the floor, this was all aired.
After the show (which I did win BTW!) we were all in the green room for a buffet, drinks and to mingle with everyone, Jim and John Virgo included. John was a total diamond, incredibly sweet and down to earth, a really lovely man.
I couldn’t stay, as I had to be at a gig in Camden and the BBC had put on a car for me to get there, so I went up to Jim for a photo before I left and he said he was really tired after filming all day and if I wanted a photo, I would have to sit on his lap, as he wasn’t getting up. So I somewhere have a pic of me gingerly perched on his knee, looking slightly worried!
Howard Marks
Really warm, engaging. Intelligent and funny. The second time I met him, he remembered me too. His wife was utterly charming and the opposite of who'd you'd expect to be his wife. Quite conservative, but lovely.
Chas and Dave
Consummate professionals, talented, charming, funny and gracious. Great story tellers. Humble and talented. Loved them.
Chris Moyles
I worked with him before he was famous and he was so arrogant and full of himself back then, acted like God’s gift around women. I am talking 27 years ago too! Put me right off him after that.
Manic Street Preachers
I have met all of the Manics a few times, Including Richey, he was so sweet, softly spoken and had time for all the fans. Nicky has seemed aloof on the occasions I have met him, but not unpleasant, just wasn’t that interested in chatting to people.
Sean is really sweet and chatty and James I’ve sat up drinking with him and the Super Furry Animals and tour crew on a Manics tour and that particular night he seemed agitated and was being quite short with people, sort of like he was there socialising in body but really not in the mood in mind. I was gutted as he was my hero, however, I have met him other times and he seemed very sweet, so must have been a bad day!
Johnny Borrrell (Razorlight)
I was interviewing bands at a festival and was told Razorlight weren’t doing press. So as I had just done my last interview, I hit the bar to play catch up with my friends. However, I hit the bar too hard and got VERY drunk during Razorlight’s headline set.
Just as the set was ending. My phone rang, it was a PR person for the band, saying Johnny would give me a 5 minute interview. I was so drunk, I could barely stand, let alone speak, I was slurring, kept repeating myself and the questions, Johnny looked bemused, but was very patient and didn’t react, bless him.
I can’t bring myself to ever listen to the interview, it’s cringe worthy, I edited down so that you only hear me slur one question, then Johnny talks for four minutes! Hahaha!
Chris Jericho (Wrestler and lead singer of Fozzy)
Pleasant enough, but a tinge of arrogance and talking about his band like they were the bloody Rolling Stones.
Paddy Considine (Peaky Blinders etc.)
Charming, softly spoken and friendly.
Dick and Dom
So funny, really nice and chatty, vile PR person though.
Oh and my friend worked for Katie Price years ago and said she had absolutely zero redeeming features in her personality. She was demanding, rude, arrogant, didn’t have the words please and thank you in her vocabulary.
I have loads more. But didn't want to bore you with an essay.
I've met Charlotte & Sophie a few times, out of their tits every timeAll the old GS lot are on drugs, saw them in a club in Ibiza. Sophie, Chloe, Charlotte and Hollie all on it. Charlotte was in a bad way I Think she got carried down the stairs. You’ll be hard pushed to find a z lister that doesn’t do them.
Must be a boring life if you need to be off your head on drugs to have a bit of funI've met Charlotte & Sophie a few times, out of their tits every time
please bore us - we live for this shit!I have loads more. But didn't want to bore you with an essay.
He has a history of domestic violence. That song of his should be called I Just Haven't Hit You Yet.Late to the Michael buble story but came across this on youtube -
Some of it is grasping at straws but other parts are definitely interesting to watch and also the comments from women with previous experience of domestic violence are quite telling about the whole situation.
Catching up on this thread now & have been reading some of the posts on that website. I take it the guys messaging these girls never actually meet & get them to send their passport details over etc purely so they can expose them?There’s a website called tag the sponsor and it shows messages sent from these girls discussing what they are willing to do. It really is vile! They’re agreeing to do the most intimate and disgusting things we’ve someone they’ve never met and have no idea who they are. There was also a article I read about women from third world country’s going missing, they aren’t paid as much but some end up murdered and buried in the desert. Like someone said a few posts up I too would rather be working a minimum wage job and still have my self respect and dignity. I’ve also been to Dubai, I really don’t understand the attraction, it isn’t as good as all these z-list celebrities make it out to be but saying that, they come home with a couple Grand where as I came back a lot poorer!

I kept my breakfast down as long as I could to have a look. Most of it looked like a misogynist mix of angry exes, former punters who thought their pro was getting uppity, and trolls working out how much a person would do in exchange for a free holiday and £70,000.Catching up on this thread now & have been reading some of the posts on that website. I take it the guys messaging these girls never actually meet & get them to send their passport details over etc purely so they can expose them?
That's a good point, actually. Some of these women (not all, of course) could be desperate for money and desperation can take us to terrible places. Rich, manipulative men who get off on degradation deserve to be punished. The women involved may be complicit or there may be an element of force, deceit or intimidation. Not that I'm condoning any of the illegal sexual stuff.I kept my breakfast down as long as I could to have a look.

The pictures of women young enough to be my daughter sitting in a messy kitchen with their laundry drying in the background made me sad for them rather than angry or cringey. Not exactly a bunch of Heidi Fleiss’s.
But I digress, wasn’t Charlie Sheen introduced to future wife Denise Richards by Heidi Fleiss?
Used to see her out and about in Camden. The change in her appearance was certainly extreme.Some more, I was out in Camden with my best mate who lived in Kentish Town. We were in a pub called the Good Mixer, when Amy Winehouse walked in. First of all I was shocked by how thin she was, pics I'd seen of her previously were from when she was curvy and didn't have many tattoos.
Anyway, I remarked to my friend about how thin she was, he said he was on nodding and hello terms with her as they frequented the same pubs and he whispered that she'd split with a guy who was a chef and apparently a decent guy and was now dating a drug addict (which later turned out to be Blake). Anyway, she was actually really smiley and friendly and said hello to my mate as she walked over to the bar, where she took off her boots, put them on the bar and like at a bowling alley, the barman took them and handed her back a pair of ballet pumps, which she put on. It was bizarre, she then went and played pool.
