Secret Celebrity Gossip #108

[Donnavanessa]

Have you listened to her podcast, "Where There's a Will, There's a Wake"? She's has some fab guests on.

Namely James Acaster. Any goss? Obviously apart from the fact he was dumped for Mr. Bean. He's my favourite 'celeb' ever - second only to James Milner who I KNOW will have no shit about him

Ooh no I haven’t but will have a listen. Thanks for the recommendation!

I suspect Tom Hanks' weight is more to do with him controlling his diabetes. Didn't he say he blames all the drastic weight changes as to why he developed diabetes in the first place?

Yeah that was back when he did Castaway I think because he had to lose weight so quickly it messed with his insulin sensitivity.

 

[Noseyparker68]

nothing will ever come close to this, in my opinion

Bardo were robbed

 

[Donnavanessa]

I must admit, I do still miss the "Showbiz syrups" thread in DS

Lol!! Me too!

 

[Multi-21]

I thought the director was her aunt, not her mum? I’m sure I read earlier today the aunt is assumed to be that director as they share a surname, and coincidently that video, but it’s never actually been confirmed by the family they are related

I’m a 70s kid. I went to my first concert (Tina Turner) probably the year you were born!

1984 my birth, I love the fact I'm repping old comedy

Taskmaster is genius TV!

My favourite programme ever! Who is your fave contestant? Mine is James Acaster obv cx

 

[Peachsquish]

See I thought thrutching was having a poo.

I've always know it as wriggling about.

 

[Thatsnotmyname123]

Ooooh what a charmer! Where is this POS hiding these days then?

Not sure why it came up but I was told only the other week he is now a builder or roofer in Bristol

 

[Tangent Tiger]

The Snowman is creepy as hell, and that song is shit

(And Aled Jones didn't sing the soundtrack version anyway)

Yes I know that. Don't assumeI meant I had an association between Aled Jones and the Snowman.

 

[EddyDarling]

I'm so glad to find out I'm wrong, although shame we won't get any juicy goss from a court case

 

[Jane Tee]

I don't pay the licence fee. Simply declared on an online form that I don't watch live broadcast TV or BBC iPlayer. Anything nationally important such as Queen Elizabeth's funeral I watch on YouTube.

If you watched that live on youtube, you need a licence

 

[Rockin' Robin]

He was removed from hignfy but carried on acting.

Aled Jones was suspended iirc by the bbc and has had a low profile over the last couple of years.

Yikes! https://www.creepsheet.com/

Why was Aled Jone suspended?

 

[evie1975]

Still pisses me off about Sam Ryder. We were robbed by a sympathy vote. Then again I’m still pissed off about Sonia and Michael Ball getting pipped to the post in the early 90’s as well. It’s an age old tale with the U.K. and Eurovision

I used to love Eurovision- we had a party most years, made a night of it. Last few have been disappointing- it’s not the same.

 

[Sir Lancelot]

Any tea on Pat Sharpe?

 

[Salted Caramel]

That's the one! The song is called SloMo.

Oh lord, she was mesmerising

 

[Mrs Fluff]

Eurovison, Johnny Logan was the best ever !

1980, 87 or 92? He's actually a twit truth be told

 

[ChickenLicking]

I saw this too and the other half commented the exact same

Didn't Sam Fox accuse him of being a sex pest?

 

[Mcomics]

Didn't know if anyone had seen this https://tattle.life/threads/19920/

People do realise they are free not to read here?

 

[LilPinkie]

I also feel that in his particular case you are funding his lifestyle with royalties, especially now he's been released. He's probably come out to a nice little nest egg.

Not so according to this article.

Gary Glitter Won’t Receive ‘Joker’ Royalties, Label Says (Published 2019)

The British singer, whose 1972 hit “Rock and Roll (Part 2)” plays at a pivotal point in the film, was convicted in 2015 of sexually abusing three girls decades earlier.

[House of Tea]

I’ve heard about nights like that when he’s totally off. The times I’ve seen him he’s been on form.

I used to love RDH but last time I saw him it was so boring I think I fell asleep

Yes, RDH was having that effect on me. I wanted SH back on!
