my relative went out with her in the 9million bicycles era,although I’d say she was closer then to crazy (!).
he said she always turned up in the velvetblue blazer she had on on the albumcover and it put him right off!

I too have the dislike, though it's more rational. She has a reasonably pleasant voice but is always about 1/4 of a tone off-key. Drives me crazy.
There were rumours about her being gay for about 5 minutes too.
There’s some good tax fiddling tea on Katie Melua. I’ll come back and describe it later when I‘ve got more time.
Did she need some love and affection ?Sadly probably untrue. Though I'd love to know where you heard it!

Obligatory Old Hollywood post:
1. This one is for the Meghan Markle followers as a sort of example of how marrying someone doesn’t automatically get you ahead in Hollywood. The best example of marrying well to try and up your Hollywood career could be found in Randolph Hearst‘s (he Citizen Kane was based on) mistress and later second wife, wannabe actress Marion Davies. Despite Hearst’s influential media empire, (the precursor to the likes of Rupert Murdoch) his Hollywood connections and pet gossip columnist, Louella Parsons, could not make Davies a thing. Outside of vanity projects and projects that came about to payback a favour owed to her husband, she was not taken seriously. Honestly, I don’t think she was that bad but because her husband was so hated and feared, and the dubious origin of their relationship, criticising her was a great way to get under the oligarch’s skin.
2. Louella Parsons funnily enough, only really got her big break as a columnist as being the only critic who said nice things about Hearst’s second wife.
3. Clara Bow’s bohemian lifestyle and frequent parties led to rumours spread by rivals that she serviced an entire football team in an evening. It was utter bollocks but it was the thing that helped to bring about the demise of her career more than technological advances.
4. Fatty Arbuckle was the first ultra highly paid actor of his day, at a time when actors were indentured to studios who would pay them a pittance, or in the case of actresses, paid in furs and make up to save money. He was the victim of a failed extortion and blackmail attempt that resulted in a known women extortionist dying. Despite being acquitted, he lost all his money on legal fees and faded away. I think he was innocent and that the gang that targeted him wanted a constant piece of his weekly earnings.
5. Although the singer Mario Lanza died in Italy of unrelated illnesses, the main rumour doing the rounds following his death was that mob boss Lucky Luciano had him murdered because the tenor wouldn’t perform for free at his command. Various mob types thought that their boss wanted to send a message to other performers that he would kill them, even if they were his favourite, if he felt disrespected.
6. Clark Gable knew he had terrible halitosis and thought it was hilarious to drink a bunch of whisky and smoke cigars before a kissing scene to wind up the actress who had to stay in character. A common prank but still amusing for everyone except to poor actress.

Bog standard annoying knob at the Brit School.
The ex staff member
Youd think performing arts schools like Brit School and Sylvia Young would have come up with a way of not making their graduates so identikit that you can spot them from a million miles away by now.
And a little dedication?
A film called Malice in Wonderland was made in the 1980s with Elizabeth Taylor playing Louella Parsons. It’s pretty good and you can probably get it on YouTube.
Was it this school that spawned that bleeping horrendous foghorn “Jessie Bastard J“ as I like to call her?
Wow, Jessie Bastard J sure dropped off the face of the earth. Haven't heard anything about her in years.
Oh it's just one of those stories you hear from a friend of a friend. Interestingly, although Valerie Singleton asked Joan Armatrading to deny the affair most recently in 2018, she never did.Sadly probably untrue. Though I'd love to know where you heard it!

Valerie Singleton calls on Joan Armatrading to deny lesbian affair rumour
Ms Singleton, 81, spoke candidly about the unfounded myth that began circulating 40 years ago when she interviewed Ms Armatrading for BBC1 current affairs show Tonight in Town
Ghislaine Maxwell arrested! I'll be interested to see what happens to her
This website is so weird lately and the signout button keeps disappearing and moving around the website. I wish that would stop happening.
Blimey I thought she was never going to be caught......
Just thinking the same; will we finally uncover the truth of who was involved or will she face the same demise as Epstein!
Singleton was actually quite the man eater.
Unless she also takes her own life
just seen there is a thread for her. Will be very interesting to follow itVery possible!Unless she also takes her own life
Yes two great minds, I’ve found that too!
"Takes her own life" - I honestly think Epstein was offed to avoid embarrassment for the rich and powerful. If there's a risk she'll spill.....Unless she also takes her own life
