Celebrity Big Brother 2007

Looks like everybody is dropping Jade like mad, and her name seems to be mud everywhere.

Here's the local Epping/Ongar paper this week. Apparently she wanted £3000 to turn on the Ongar town Christmas lights on.

I note they have put her address in there, how thoughtful of them, i note her double glazing has already been smashed.

Ongar is a lovely part of the world.

I am sure I saw Jade at North Weald Airfield Market one time. The fact that she lives in Ongar only adds to my resolve.

Did you nick that off of me on the digitalspy forums?

Never been there, but I'm happy to admit it wasn't an original thought - it's well documented.

Bloody Hell. I just watched the Jo O'Meara interview. I feel so sorry for that woman. She's broken.

(added to this post so that people don't have to go back and search for it in other posts).

First chance I've had of seeing that, as I can't see stuff like that at work.

Very unpleasant viewing it has to be said.

 

[scifisam]

I'm emphatically not claiming it is generally used in a racist way in this country. As I very clearly said.

I dunno - it's hard to justify how a phrase such as 'white trash' cannot be connected to race, whatever country it's used in. If a phrase connected to race is used in a disparaging way, then surely it is, by default, racist?

Actually it seems unfair to even use it for the whole Goody clan, (not that you did), because the Grandparents seem OK, just working class and white.

Blimey this threads gone off at a tangent.

PK - I think you know you are being provocative!

Channel4 refuse to hand over un-edited CBB recordings...

 

[DJ Squelch]

Russell Brand has quit as host of BBBM apparently. They'll have to get someone else in for BB8.

utterly irresponsible journalism.

Just seen this.....http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news_detail.html?sku=1203

The star isnt the most informative of reads, but has anyone else heard about this story....

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yep, I read it a few weeks back on blackbritain..sky has also picked this up: http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,70131-1251167,00.html?f=rss

I'd like to see the footage before being able to make an informed comment but it wouldn't surprise me if this is as face value...

me too, must look on you tube..........

 

[Sweaty Betty]

Its not on You tube>>>>>

Let me know if you find it, want to write about this but there just doesn't seem to be enough evidence to justify a story...

E2A: oh right, I guess it'll turn up sooner or later...

I have searched all over the net....extra shetty, shilpa shetty, indian telivision......nothing at all apart from this

I think thats rather odd, surely it would be somewhere

I'm thinking

1) Its an untrue story
2) Its been cleansed from history

This does not surprise me (if true) given Shilpas background and the fact she is clearly not the sharpest tool in the box.

It is fair to say non-white racism is not taken seriously by many. In the same way as domestic violence against men isn't.

There are tons of stories about indian television reporting their outrage of racism on CBB, but this has conveiniently dissappeared. If the story is true then it really does stink.......

Indeed. Let's hope some enterprising journo uncovers it. Thing is footage must exist somewhere because that picture is from the show...

exactly....

 

[Sweaty Betty]

Has anybody been able to find it yet??, im finding this very strange to say the least..........or a pile of shit, as no news reports or any further coverage of the story is to be found anywhere, which in relation to how the race story broke initially in the CBB house, just makes this all the more weird tbh...

 

[danny la rouge]

I saw a still from the show in the Daily Star today. But I'd like to see the context before making a judgement.

There are any number of reasons why a person might be photographed smiling in the proximity of an Asian man blacked-up and wearing a wig, and not all of them are to do with condoning racism. Although, it should be said in all fairness that some are.

I find it more strange that the footage is not to hand, in the age of youtube, its a relatively quick process, why is this different???

 

[danny la rouge]

why is this different???

I dunno. It's in Tulu or Gujarati or something?

 

[Pigeon]

Q. What's red and full of spunk?

A. Jade Goody's next curry.

It sounds like a comedy show. It would hardly be the first comedy show to take the piss out of the Black and White Minstrels.

Quite, but thats not the point...if this story is true, then it smacks of double standards and makes our whole media and politicians look like twats of the highest order..........

 

[danny la rouge]

All together: but our whole media and politicians are twats of the highest order!

How? Taking the piss out of the B&W Minstrels would be taking the piss out of racists, not being racist.
