Celebrity Big Brother 2007

[Celt]

Actually, i don't 'know the form' with BB threads and didn't realise different rules apply here than elsewhere - presumably if somebody wanted to trot out some racist crap or something, we wouldn't be allowed to comment? and if it's a 'collection of views' surely what i was expressing, as 'a view' qualifies for inclusion?

But i'm going to bed now, so you don't have to worry about anyone ruining your thread. Do be sure to let me know which others I'm not allowed to post anything 'essay' like on, won't you?

Oh dear - sounds like Dub has well and truly seen his arse

 

[bellator]

Anyway, what was this thread about?

Ah yes, now I do believe that Jack may be the first one out. Or Jackie?

 

[scifisam]

carole smiley looks more like a young carole malone in that pic

Yes! I knew there was a different similarity there.

@haylz - don't know if you were including me or not, but there is no way I could measure up penis sizes, as I don't have one.

I caught a bit of the show again earlier, and Shilpa seemed nice, well-balanced, and slightly depressed at the surroundings she'd been put in. I kinda hope she does get out soon.

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

Er not quite, I never said a) my comments could end the world, b) my comments were well informed c) I gave a rats ass what you really think about me

A) please qutoe where i said otherwise ...
B) No they clearly are not, unless you mean informed from the same media sources that you discredit as being worthless... you know little more about jade goodie than anyone else gifted with reading... don't pretedn liek you do...
C) well dear seeign as you only have a rats arse i wasn't expecting you to give it up standing would become tiresome, i guess.. (ass of course being a donkey and rats have no system of equestrian ownership as any fule noe...)

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

yes , but it was interrupting the purpose of the thread, if you dont like this thread why the fuck are you on it, jeez you are a right sanctimonious old git at times...............sleep well

as far as i'm aware they have given out all the mod badges they are going to for some time, haylz, so i'd stop trying so bloody hard to get one...

 

[Onslow]

Haylz, you are never going to be a Mod, GET OVER IT.

 

[Strawman]

Only been watching the highlights and Jade seems a lot more palatable than her first go on BB.

She still gets on my nerves though and im well at annoyed at BB foisting her on us again, specially as I was just getting into the 10 housemates - even Donny seemed interesting after his unfortunate entrance.

 

[pk]

As far as I'm concerned this BB lark is the modern equivalent of the boo hiss coliseum pantomime, with Jade set up to be villified or exalted depending upon the whim of the public, or at least the producers and editors at Endemol.

It's the fact that she gets attention and pity for this act she has - and it is an act - the sole reason she gets all the media attention is because the country is just fascinated and dumbfounded how anyone seemingly so stupid could possibly have lived so long without sticking their hand into a blender or walking out in front of a speeding lorry whilst in whatever cuckoo-land headspace she appears to occupy.

She had to ask the other day in the diary room what "exclusive" means.

Does anyone seriously believe that in her world of Hello magazine and PR spin and media advisors and booking agents and television appearances brokering deals that have apparently earned her several million pounds, that she has no concept of the meaning of the word "exclusive" ?

Bollocks. It's an act.

Sure, she's a fucking idiot with no concept of dignity, but she knows full well when she goes on a TV show like Loose Women or any of the other magazine programmes that have sustained her meaningless life for the past few years, and asks whether Scotland is the capital of Belgium or if monkeys really do wear clothes and drink PG Tips, the audience laughs and claps and squeals and she gives them that piggy shitfaced grin and you can see the pound signs flashing in her eyes.

What's most despicable in my view is the fact that some young women actually aspire to be like her, much like young men aspire to be like Wayne Rooney, another pig-faced twat with all the social skills, wit and intellect of a garden snail. It's the same with that Paris Hilton. Or that Tara Palmer Fuckwittington.

I think it's indicative of just how low society has become, of all the women in the world that have empowered themselves and others, and inspired great things in people, it seems all that many young women can dream of becoming is a vacuous semi-literate fool with a credit account at Coutts.

She now deserves to be pitied and rejected for her persistant ignorance, she's had her fun, made her money, met her heroes off the telly, and clearly believes her own magazine articles - now she should be fucked off soundly and ignored by the media and a public tired of this one-sided act.

Maybe then it can be made clear to all those otherwise smart young women who due to their young idealistic age think it's perfectly possible to "get famous" for being nothing but dimwitted and to speak in a constant whine, that this kind of fame is a very very temporary thing indeed, and that public opinion can turn against people overnight.

I live in hope, but unfortunately I can't help thinking we get the "celebs" we deserve.

And if that is sneering then so be it, some things should be sneered at.

 

[Louloubelle]

I'm not entirely convinced that he's not just trying to get a bit of solo time under his belt 'being amusing'.


Did anyone see that totally fucked up documentary about him....his control freakish ex-wife still manages him...but most disturbingly, that he tried to/did get it on with a nutty female fan....more than a bit desperate and craven for the fame and attention he once had it seemed (and appeared to take himself far more seriously than.....well than anyone else does really).
A definite air of resentment and bitterness about him for what (he imagined in his head....) he had had and lost...and should still have...and that that isn't recognised by everyone iykwim.

Sorry that's a bit vague - it was a while back - but it left me thinking 'JESUS - YOU SCARY FUCKING FREAK!!!' more than anything.

I didn't see that but a friend interviewd him for a magazine and he tried to get it on with her too and was irritatingly persistant in the face of her refusal and had as she put it "a very well developed sense of his own importance"

 

[pk]

He does have something of a Napoleonic complex going on doesn't he?

I remember him from when I was a kid, always shifting from foot to foot smiling into the camera - but nobody can remember his sub-Manilow crappy records.

I can (indeed, heo recently picked up an album of his in the second hand shop....there's more that you remember than you'd think, if my experience is anything to go by... )!


Loulou - that sounds very unsurprising to me - he really gave me the willies!

Sell your story to the Sun then

 

[sheothebudworths]

Urgh! Yuck!

 

[Chairman Meow]

Oh FFS, I saw all the posts and thought it had kicked off or something in the house, only to find a lot of sub-media studies willy waving in here. Its only a game show!

So, what were leo and Ken up to last night then?

 

[sheothebudworths]

Btw - The 'documentary' I was on about was called 'The Entertainers' (produced by, but not featuring, Louis Theroux...which is a bit of a clue ) also starring <cough> Bernard Manning (mainly in his vast underpants) and Tony Blackburn.

It was pretty horrific all round.

A sadder figure is that cut by Leo Sayer whose relationship with his former partner Donatella appears to be in it’s death throes in the scenes shown here. Sayer is apparently reluctant to admit that they are no longer a couple.

Sayer’s attempts to appear upbeat and happy all the time become increasingly transparent and Donatella looks more embarrassed and fed up with every scene. To be honest it’s even more embarrassing to watch than Manning in his pants.

And my favourite: Mr Leo Sayer, who actually seems like a really great bloke, until uh-oh, he starts to lick the arm of a girl in a group he's trying to promote whilst watching a Fuzzy timecoded VHS of himself "when he was famous."

 

[Orang Utan]

I saw that programme - it was indeed horrific.
Leo was having trouble letting go of his lovely wife and it was excructiating viewing.
There was also a distressing scene of Bernard Manning eating peas and gravy in his pants on a sofa with Frank Carson

...and (another review has just reminded me) pissing into a sink just before going onto stage.

I saw that - it was car-crash tv! I must have blocked the image of manning in his pants though *shudders*.

 

[sheothebudworths]

A wise move I'd say (no real offence - I don't look too great lounging around in my pants meself)!

 

[pk]

Just been down the newsagents - the News of the World are reporting on the front page that Donny has shagged Leo Sayer's missus since leaving the house...

Now of course, the News of the World journos are a bunch of cocaine sniffing liars, with a secret penchant for seeing pictures of naked pre-pubescant girls whilst bleating on about Sarah's Law - but if this story is true it's quite a funny slice of irony.

Really? The Irish NOTW is leading with a story about pit-bull breesers!

 

[Orang Utan]

The NoW we have here has this headline - 'Strangler': I'm not killer!

[Lisarocket]

Well done for trying to stop the tedious fighting Haylz

God. How annoying. What happened to our lighthearted CBB thread

I like threads like this as they are a welcome break from all the stupid 'me, me, me, i'm right' fighting that goes on everywhere else on Urban..
