Secret Celebrity Gossip #109

[Salted Caramel]

is this deuxmoi for brits

Nah, deuxmoi is the latest yank version of Tattle!

 

[bourb0nbiscuits]

Was it Victim of Love or The Circus? The Circus is one of my favourite songs by them, it's an interesting song about British society and how the miners of yesteryear were reduced to nothing with the pits closing.

No neither of them but can’t remember what it was called

No neither of them but can’t remember what it was called

Also could have been this (The Circus had several songs that were hits).

I loved Lance Reddick in Fringe, sad news.

 

[Foxvint]

Alison Hammond to Bake Off is such a no no for me. No one will get a word in edgeways. And that laugh. No.

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

Lance Reddick has died! Sounds like it might have been a sudden heart attack.

Love him. So sad. Apparently he failed to show at the John Wick premier.

No neither of them but can’t remember what it was called

I saw on twitter that it’s 1994 in old TOTP just now, so maybe it was this?



Or Run To The Sun or Saturday Night?

Lance Reddick has died! Sounds like it might have been a sudden heart attack.

hadn’t he only just been cast in the percy jackson netflix series too? must have been sudden

he’s incredible in the wire, obviously among other things.

 

[MrsFawlty]

Loved him on The Wire. Far too young to die.

And in Bosch.

I read this earlier but it was a really weird mish mash and from what I could actually gather he's in remission.

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

No one has ever aged as well as Sam Neill.

he is such a handsome man! and so charming on his instagram too with his farm and his vineyard

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

crappy day celeb wise with Lance Reddick and Sam Neil though Sam sounds like he's ok.

Thank you for clarifying. The media, and the Mail in particular are so evil in how they try to spin sensitive stories like Sam’s.

 

[bracrumbs]

Lance Reddick was my absolute fave in highly-underrated series Fringe. Grown-up, daddy-issues Pacey whilst Anna Torv kicks arse everywhere (slight spoiler)

yes please.

I was really sad to hear about Sam today, but the piece on the BBC website is much better than the DM article, and includes a quite funny anecdote about Barbara Streisand...

Look," he adds, "I should've probably called this book, Spilling the Beans, because some beans I probably shouldn't have spilled and one of them was meeting Barbra Streisand."
He was flown to meet her in a hotel suite in New York in the early 1980s, to discuss a role in her film Yentl.
While he says he has always admired her, he admits: "I've never enjoyed her singing."
So when she sang not one, but two, songs from the film, at full volume from a distance of about five feet away from him, he was, he says, "in a state of shock and dismay."

 

[Red hair]

No one has ever aged as well as Sam Neill.

I watched the Revengers Comedies on Amazon prime today. He was gorgeous in it, a very funny film too, very British humour with loads of stars, never heard of it before today.

 

[funkimunki1984]

Alison Hammond to Bake Off is such a no no for me. No one will get a word in edgeways. And that laugh. No.

I feel like they could have brought back a bake off contestant to front it. There are some who had loads of charisma and actually decent.

 

[girlinbrum]

They should have had someone less known and given them a chance. I see Alison at my local train station and she always looks so miserable. And she was very odd in Ant n Dec's hidden camera prank a few weeks ago.

It will remain forever a mystery how a man who has now stood there on several series declaring he doesn’t understand or like baking is still presenting it after losing two presenters. It’s one thing to have landed the job, Noel, but you could at least hide your contempt for it as a concept! I preferred Matt who at least seemed to be trying to cheer the contestants up. I blame Noel and his sneers detachment for the last few crappy series.

He isn’t sneering on it? He seems to a comfort to the contestants when things go bad. And he seems incredibly proud of the job. ..weird of you to pin the crappy series on him when it's widely agreed it's because they have made some tasks impossible in the timeframe given.
Besides, i don't think Mel and Sue were prolific bakers either...its not like the presenters have to judge it so it doesn't really matter.
