That's guilt because you did do something wrong. I know someone in real life (not a celeb) who was seen in a cancer unit by someone locally. It was the gossip of the town and someone took it upon themselves to confirm the gossip (that they didn't start). Not cool. And neither is what you did.

My friend, and pk, have rights to medical privacy, no matter how justified you feel because you "didn't start it"
I respectfully suggest this might not be the thread for you.

the “gossip” about this kind of makes me sad - the reason has obviously been confirmed but i feel like it crosses the line somewhat. he obviously wanted it to be private and it hasn’t ended up being so: i remember on the digital spy threads people were commenting to say a family member who was a taxi driver had driven him to the centre where he was having treatment etc and then coming to the forum to say so. i know it’s hypocritical of me because ultimately we’re all here on a celeb gossip forum, gossiping (obviously 🤣) but when we’re talking about someone keeping cancer treatment private i feel like it should stay so.

i think i remember sarah harding’s cancer diagnosis being revealed in much the same way.

(this isn’t aimed at you op, i’m just tagging on your post!)
I completely agree and I think it's intrusive and not gossip as such.

A very close family member has recently been diagnosed with a form of cancer and people at work are talking about it - it's none of their fucking business and this man wants to keep his cancer journey entirely private. As it is, I'm constantly having to fend off questions. The reason people know is due to a major breach of confidentiality involving a member of NHS staff who is related to a workmate. I am angry and sad and struggling to process everything and the last thing I need is to be the subject of staffroom gossip about something so upsetting.

Therefore, I have every sympathy with famous people dealing with potentially life limiting disease in their own way, and no-one should expect regular health bulletins.

And I have probably completely outed myself by posting this but it's not Mumsnet and not the end of the world if someone works out I'm whatserface from down the road.

I have Harry Styles locked in my shed. I will not be letting him out until he promises to wear a proper shirt collar, and nothing he says, nor you say, will sway me on this matter.

I remember Charlotte Church got called a champagne socialist, and she said she’s not… she’s more of a prosecco girl.

She really seems like a decent person though, she made a fortune but genuinely does care about social inequality.
I like Charlotte Church, she's a nice woman. Major lapse of judgement in marrying Gavin Henson but other than that, she's a good 'un and doesn't some across as an entitled brat, despite being famous since childhood.

View attachment 1634115Well this is a twist I wasn't expecting



I just posted it! I didn't refresh so didn't see you had posted! I was not expecting that twist!
The fact that Mel B was at the Tory Party conference to talk about domestic abuse and how reforms are needed, and then to have to deal with this? Wow that is shocking.

I love gossip as much as the next person but I also feel disclosures about someone’s health should be off limits. No shade on posters who make those posts but they make me feel really uncomfortable

I've never hated a band name more than Wet Leg *shudder* It makes me think of some awful agricultural sheep disease.

Thin Lizzy too for a short period.
My Mum knew Phil Lynott professionally and stayed at his Mums hotel in Manchester a fair bit in the 60's.
His Mother was a really lovely woman apparently and good to my Mum (both Irish). My Mum soon realised she was also a Madam and ran a dominatrix brothel in the basement flat of the hotel.
Apparently the ladies who worked there would walk into the breakfast room in their full "gear" and would chat away casually wearing leather corsets and holding whips whilst eating a bit of toast.😬😆

Yes it was me. I was having chemo for breast cancer and I saw him at Christie’s in Manchester.
I think that's pretty shitty you'd put that out there, to be honest.
His business, which he obviously wanted kept private (and managed to do despite being very famous).
I'd have thought a fellow patient would have understood how important that was.

I came here to say exactly this. I find it so so so so so so weird. Maybe I’m the weird one? But I find it weird.

For me, it feels like she’s green lighting her daughter to be some old perv’s wank fantasy.

Or have I taken that too far?

Either way: yuk.
Worse - the woman who inspired the song 'Girl from Ipanema', who is a celeb in Brazil, posed nude WITH HER DAUGHTER for Playboy. Attached is the front cover - mild compared to the explicit pics inside.

Talking of Seal this was in popbitch and made me laugh:

In her recent memoirs, Mel C says the Spice Girls got hold of Seal’s phone number and used to call him up anonymously, just to make seal noises down the phone at him.

It’s not so much that he hid his sexuality it was the way he suddenly decided to come out but as of yet still hasn‘t divorced his wife or found a serious male partner. Him and his wife still live like man and wife. Its weird. Why bother if your not going to change anything.
MRS SCHOFE: Oh my goodness, Philip, there's a young man attached to your cock!
MR SCHOFE: Oh, HIM! He was yawning and I fell forwards and he's been stuck there ever since! It's really annoying!
MRS SCHOFE: That's such a coincidence, dear, because don't you remember some time ago you fell backwards on to that other young man's cock and we had such a time trying to remove him, too!
MR SCHOFE: Now that you remind me, yes...
MRS SCHOFE: I don't want to worry you, Philip, but I think I know what's wrong.
MR SCHOFE: What?
MRS SCHOFE: ...I think you have balance problems.

He was a cross dresser. He now wears false breasts and tacky dresses and claims he’s a woman. Funnily enough, when he’s going for acting roles he somehow finds it within himself to drop girl mode and admit he’s really a man. As if we didn’t know that already.
He was, and remains, a giant bellend.

An update on my garden shed-based intervention for the foolish young fop that is Harry Styles. Yesterday evening, as I slipped a plate of thinly-sliced honey roast ham sandwiches under the shed door, I called out: 'Harold - have you come to your senses yet regarding that silly collar?'

'Look and see,' came the rather nervous-sounding reply.

So I peered in via a handy knothole. He had cut off his collar - at last! - but had taken the two pointed pieces of material and draped them over his ears. 'Look, look,' he exclaimed, 'I'm a rabbit!'

'Good night, Harold,' I sighed. 'I can wait for as long as it takes'.

My mum used to love Vesta Curries! I felt so grown up the first time she bought me one of my own. Wouldn’t eat one now though :ROFLMAO:
Always way too many raisins in Vesta curries if I remember right. Those were also the days when a glass of Orange juice or a half a grapefruit were actually items on the Starters section of the menu in some restaurants.
