Just seen the breaking news about Liz Hurleys ex, Steve Bing. Incredibly sad, feel really sorry for their son, not sure how much contact they had but it seems like a sad situation.
I do extra work for a bit of fun occasionally and would say the same as you. The big 'stars' are often lovely and friendly and smile at the extras etc but my god the full time extras/ jobbing actors seem to think they have something to prove by being primadonnas! There are always a group of extras who are just doing it for a hobby and we'd always have an absolute blast. You could tell the jobbing actors who were basically doing what we did but maybe had a line or two. They would swan about like they were Jennifer Lawrence or something!
Great insight btw!

Who would value her opinion on the paso doble etc
It would be like having "you woz great" Alisha Dixon all over again.Strictly have a plethora of former pros that would be perfect -love them or hate them but James Jordan and Brendan Cole would be honest and fair, Darren and Lillia who work on the Irish version, Darren fills in for absent judges sometimes. Karen Hardy would be good etc etc, Arlene Phillips is still around....
The viewing figures would drop if the Cheryl thing happens
When I was at Uni I had a friend who went back to a hotel room with a bunch of them after a PA. IRC there were quite a few of them but I can only remember Jamie Lomas, Ashley Taylor Dawson and Nick Pickard. There was cocaine everywhere and she *ahem* orally serviced Jamie Lomas but refused to sleep with him. ATD and NP were hoovering up the coke like it was going out of fashion and running around like kids. She said it was very apparent that Jamie was the ‘boss’.
Oh and he was in a relationship with Kym Marsh at this point! I’m not sure if my friend was aware of this and I haven’t spoken to her now for about 10 years!
Newbie here. Few bits if anyone might like.
Stephen Fry, used to work next to a theatre he was in, total sweetheart and lovely guy was always happy to chat and have a selfie.
Andy Murray, proper lovely person, loves his wife and family to bits. He may come across a bit sour but he is a lovely guy, down to earth and completely normal.
Jo Brand not a nice person when I met her in Covent Garden, too busy looking around to see who recognised her but didnt care for anyone who approached her.
Dean Gaffney absolute d*ckhead. Met him in a club and he was just a complete pest and thought he was some sort of A list celeb. Kept showing me pictures of him, Callum Best and some other guy think his name was Fran Costi or something.
All I can remember for the moment.

Regarding Scientology and Tom Cruise, there's some interesting tea out there from an actress called Nazanin Boniadi, who I've seen in Homeland and Counterpart. A very intelligent lady who could have had a stellar career in medical research had she not become an actress. Anyway, here's what her Wiki page says about her experience as Tom's girlfriend.
"In the mid 2000s, she was a dedicated Scientologist. Her mother had also been a Scientologist.[42]
In late 2004 to early 2005, she had a brief relationship with actor Tom Cruise. According to claims of the documentary Going Clear, her acquaintance with Cruise was not accidental and the Church of Scientology prepared and planted her for this role.[43] The Church also vetted her along with dozens of other women as a potential wife for Cruise, but she was not selected.[44][45]
On 10 May 2017, American journalist Tony Ortega reported on FBI testimony that Boniadi had given in January 2010 regarding her relationship with Cruise through the Church of Scientology.[46] Boniadi's testimony describes how the Church's Office of Special Affairs selected her to be Cruise's girlfriend.[44]
In October 2004, Boniadi was volunteering for the Office of Special Affairs in Los Angeles when she was told by Church official Greg Wilhere that she had been selected for a special project. Boniadi was told that her dental braces had to be removed and that her red hair highlights had to be corrected; she was also encouraged to end her relationship with her longtime boyfriend. She had to sign a confidentiality agreement, stating she could not abandon this special project without the Church's approval.[46]
About a month later, after being flown to New York by the church, Boniadi learned that her project was to become a suitable girlfriend for Cruise.[47] She stated in her testimony "at the beginning of the relationship [he] was very romantic but as the relationship progressed he began to have temper tantrums. He began to show violent tendencies". After their relationship ended in January 2005, Boniadi confessed her devastation to a friend and fellow church member. She was punished for this according to Church policies: she "had to dig ditches at midnight and scrub floor tiles... She was placed on a curfew... escorted everywhere she went". She also testified that she felt as if "she was a victim of white slavery, because she traveled across state lines under false pretenses".[46]
Boniadi left the Church of Scientology soon afterwards[48] and as of October 2014 called herself a "non-practising Muslim".[49]
In 2017, she tweeted congratulations to Leah Remini and Mike Rinder on their series Scientology and the Aftermath winning an Emmy Award.[50]
In a later interview with the Los Angeles Times, Boniadi described her role in Counterpart as cathartic and therapeutic, saying "sometimes there are personal traumas that you don't ever talk about publicly but you pour it into your work". She continued: "this idea of shedding indoctrination and finding out who you are for me is a strong one. It has been extremely therapeutic for me to be able to put it out into the world through my art as opposed to openly discussing it."

Work in a high end jewellers in Cambridge. We used to get the odd well known face cone in .
Bill Nighy from (Love Actually , Shaun of the dead ...numerous films) wandered into our jewellery shop . He was immaculately dressed and absolutely lovely . Bought a stunning piece of jewellery for his partner . Asked lots of questions and was just very friendly and down to earth .
Kate Aide the news correspondent was lovely so polite and friendly .
Germaine Greer was very intimidating . She has a presence but puts you on edge . Well meaning though .
Lionel Blair was just grumpy and off hand .
gwyneth Paltrow walked past . We hoped she would come in but she didn’t . She was filming Ted & Sylvia at the time . The people surrounding her were presumably telling her what she could and couldn’t do .
Alfie Allen from game of thrones was just chilling outside our shop . Very down to earth , unassuming and friendly . Smiling at people who no doubt recognised him .

An entirely natural undiagnosed heart defect that could've happened to any one at any time, very sadly.
The barely thinly veiled sniff of "suspicion" was via an odious Daily Mail columnist, who neither a pathologist nor there herself, decided upon herself that as Stephen was gay - shock horror- and had been out that evening to a club and then allowed a member of the same sex to crash over, she decided to imply as if a mass drug fuelled gay orgy had taken place and his death must surely be misadventure and drug related.
At inquest, it was found he didn't have any drugs in his system, no orgy had taken place as suggested and that it was entirely natural albeit tragically young.
Boyzone boys 'waked him' in the traditional Irish manner back home in Ireland.
They stayed up awake all night alongside his coffin in the church the night before his funeral, talking, reminiscing and sharing whisky.
I don't have much time for the band tbh and can't stand their music, but they were utterly devastated by the death of their band mate whom they felt as close as brothers to.
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp....mily-hurt-by-wild-drugs-rumours-28525017.htmlWasn’t there a random guy that came home with Stephen and his boyfriend the night he died? And, did his boyfriend change his story several times when the police interviewed him?
Wasn’t Steve Bing quoted as being a “Billionaire” at one point??... Our Elizabeth does have very questionable taste in men
This article was the original stance by the family after findings of the autopsy.
Then his You get brother asked to re open case a few years later in dispute with Stephen's husband over final will & testament distribution.

My local M and S have shoddy meal deals at the moment. I need to petition the Government as this is clearly their fault too. But no more Covid related stuff kindly please. I come here to have a giggle and occasional WTF moments!

I think he quietly confirmed it a few weeks ago at the beginning of lockdown when he moved in with her and their daughter and his best friend. If it works for them I’m not going to judge. Bet their daughter is chuffed to have mummy and daddy under roof regardless of the dynamics

I met Jimmy Saville when I was about 6 at the cafe in Roundhay Park when I was up in Leeds visiting family. He signed a napkin for me...he terrified me even though he was perfectly pleasant and my mum told me off for being ‘rude’.
Years later when I was 18/19 my boyfriend at the time and his mates used to love doing Jimmy Saville impressions and thought he was such a funny man. I used to say nah he gives me the creeps and people laughed at me. This would have been 2003. I didn’t take any comfort in being proved right just a few years later though
