Secret Celebrity Gossip #19

[PeteM]

I heard Marty Pellow was gay "I feel it in my fingers" it was probably a big fat cock.

More like "I feel it in my sphincter".

How about this, from the Sunday People in 2001:

“Playboy Prince Andrew has been told by the Queen to dump his dodgy new pals and their murky world of cocaine, crime and casual sex before he damages the Monarchy for ever.

The Queen and Prince Philip were furious after their second son was pictured cavorting with topless beauties and touring red-light districts during a holiday in Phuket, Thailand.

But they were appalled when Palace investigations revealed his new-found friends have notorious links to hard drugs.

An insider revealed: "Andrew has been told in no uncertain terms that he must cut loose from this gang with all their drug links before it drags the reputation of the Royals into the mire.

"His behaviour is not that expected of the Duke of York and he has been told it must end right now.

"Andrew is laying himself open to exploitation and scandal, and is becoming an appalling liability. What sort of example does he set to the rest of the world?"”

The article, link below, goes on to name a Sean Pertwee, his wife Jacqui Hamilton Smith and jenny Frost (ex-Atomic Kitten...who else, Jedward?) then goes on to mention that Andrew had been ‘around the world up to eight times’ with dear old Ghislaine Maxwell! A long-established friendship, then.

THIS is why we should ignore celebrities and rich people who want more press regulation.

Here is my Katie Melua tax tea. It shows her to be stupid, disingenuous and selfish. Is that any good?

I work in finance, have done for 25 years. I’m a chartered accountant and one of my specialisms is tax. Because I work in the accountancy profession I get to read all about new developments and schemes, and other people in the profession form a view on them, which I usually get to hear about.

There is a constant supply of chancers trying to punt tax avoidance schemes. The targets are often wealthy people, but not always. Some schemes were aimed at people earning not that much: if there’s interest from the punters, somebody will serve that market, which is why you get, eg, IT contractors complaining that they will have to sell their houses in order to pay tax owed from ten years ago when they joyfully participated in schemes based around loans from fake employee benefit trusts. Any such scheme is sold with heavy caveats: any tax avoidance scheme promoter will tell you, subtly or otherwise, that participation is at your own risk.

There is a particular chancer, whom I won’t name but whom I’ve met professionally, who set up an outfit called Mercury Tax. Mercury developed a few ropy schemes. One, in particular, was called the Liberty scheme. It was based around ’investors’ (ie people who wished to avoid paying tax) buying the rights to dividends declared by a company based in the Caymans - the island of choice for tax avoiders since Jersey has inconveniently increased regulation - and through complicated machinations, treating the dividends as non-taxable. So manufacturing losses to shelter taxable income. The participants included Anne Robinson, the Arctic Monkeys, George Michael (whom we often hear about giving generously to charities...not so generous with his own taxes though), Michael Caine and Katie Melua.

Katie put almost a million quid into the scheme. Remember that anybody participating in such a scheme is given no guarantees by the scheme promoter and gets involved at their own risk.

Several years previously, Katie had announced to a number of charities, on the record of course, why bother virtue signalling in private, that she paid almost half of her income in tax, which is the correct amount of tax for somebody of her level of earnings to pay. In other words, she was paying according to the same rules as the rest of us. She attracted much praise for this, and was described as a ‘tax superhero’ by one charity. One might ask why somebody paying the correct amount of tax just like everyone else, including those earning far less than her deserved to be showered with praise, but Katie happily simpered and lapped up the approval.

So it was rather embarrassing for Katie, wasn’t it, when HMRC closed down the Liberty scheme - quite rightly, because it was utter bollocks - and Katie was exposed as one of the participants.

She first tried the disingenuous ‘but I was only following advice and I thought it was legal!’ wide-eyed shock strategy but that was cutting no ice, probably because schemes involving manufacturing tax losses in the Cayman islands aren’t something you generally wander into by accident when planning your tax affairs with strict regard to the law, so she quickly paid up and virtuously declared that she now didn’t owe HMRC anything and her tax affairs were up to date. Yes, Katie, because you got caught!

Genuinely, how stupid is she? She must have at least suspected that she was extremely likely to be hoist by her own petard if the tax scheme - which she will 100% have been warned was chancy and involved sailing rather close to the wind - didn’t work and was closed down, because she’d made a big deal out of being a so-called ‘tax superhero’, but she was greedy enough to have a go anyway. Then pathetic enough to try to blame her wicked advisers, whom she implied made her do it. Poor, innocent Katie, surrounded by dastardly advisers! It’s enough to make you weep, innit?

She was undoubtedly too stupid to put two and two together and work out that the tax paid by wealthier people is what pays for services used by the young people buying her records: you know, health, education, housing, social services, that sort of thing. The type of services she herself benefited from when her family moved to the UK from Georgia when she was eight. The taxes that paid her father’s salary, when he got a job as a heart surgeon in the NHS in Belfast, for example.

But never mind that. Dear old Katie is sitting on her £18m (according to Wikipedia) fortune and hoping that we’ll forget all about the inconvenient hypocrisy and lying.

I know a few folk personally who have recently been caught out with similar schemes, oil contractors. Couldn’t happen to more deserving people, greedy cunts.

 

[Won’t you have a cup]

Well, there might be the odd bit! Courtney Love/hookers/cocaine for starters.

THIS is why we should ignore celebrities and rich people who want more press regulation.

And this was 2001! 19 yeas ago! When people dont believe historical sex abuse victims because ' they didnt come forward straight away' they only need to be pointed towards the Jeffrey Epstein case and the Saville case. People were pointing things out and making complaints for years and nothing was done about it. The cover ups from the police and State collusion in the Epstein case is mind boggling.
Edit: that article is i interesting re Sean Pertwee. In Pearl Lowes autobiography he came across as a nice guy but I suppose she was completely out of it most of the theme so what would she know Everyone who talks about Andrew says ' he's not the brightest of men' and that he's easily led.He must be unbelievably stupid.

A couple of friends encountered Coogan in Thailand in the mid 1990s and apparently he really is into his ladyboys! Those Alan Partridge dream sequences weren't quite as fictional as they were made to appear.

I’m assuming that you don’t mean the drinkable variety from the Linton Travel Tavern (pint of lager with chasers of Baileys then a gin & tonic)!

He sure is. He'd sometimes put on ladyboy porn at meetings at his company Baby Cow Productions.

[Bette21]

I’ve been wondering what has happened to the actor Sean Pertwee...He used to be in lots of films, but, lately, he seems to have dissapeared!!..
He has been married to Jacqui Hamilton-Smith for 21 years (which, in celeb land, is some feat!!)
His wife, Jacqui, is the daughter of Lord Anthony Hamilton-Smith, and back in the day, she was quite the party person, and even lived with Robbie Williams, and this was when Robbie was deep in his drug and alcohol addictions.
She was also in a relationship with Nellee Hooper, who is a member of the NyLon Film Company, along with her husband Sean, Sadie Frost, Jude Law, Johnny Lee-Miller, and Ewan McGregor. All of them were key players in Kate Moss’s little gang, and Nelle Hooper had “relationships” with Jacqui, Kate Moss, Davina Taylor, Sophie Dahl and Petrina Khashoggi....Kate’s “gang” certainly like to pass each other around !! Does anyone else know what’s happened to Sean and Jacqui? She used to be a makeup artist, so maybe she’s gone back to that? As you just don’t hear about Sean or Johnny Lee-Miller much anymore... Any goss on this little gang??

have you seen love, honour and obey? It’s got basically the whole gang in!
I think Jonny Lee Miller is over in the US now, wasn’t he in a show with Lucy Liu?

He was in a show called Elementary

Always had an intense irrational dislike of Katherine Jenkins, not sure if she’s been mentioned on a previous thread I’ve missed! Obviously only ever seen her on the tele, but as soon as she speaks it instantly gets my back up, I can’t even explain it. Any tea?
