I had to google her after "Breaking News" headlines 😂 This is *not* news

Frieda2024 · 15/08/2024 07:55

They’re probably trying to appeal to a younger demographic, coupled with slow news month.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 15/08/2024 07:46

Drives me bonkers.

Also the constant pregnancy announcements.

Who the fuck cares that some D List celebrity is up the duff?

love island is very popular

The summer launch episode of Love Island was watched by 2.2 million people across various devices.

Which means 65 million people didn't watch it, so hardly popular.

I also don't know who they are but I'm 50. My dd doesn't know either, she's 24. Not into gossip magazines or websites, unless you count Private Eye.

mitogoshi · 15/08/2024 07:34

People's personal lives eg break ups should never be "news" because it's simply none of our business. I think perhaps British royals, very senior politicians and bona fide a listers it's ok as am absolutely postscript to the news extended broadcast but not shorter ones and never in the headlines section of the online news

I googled and found out. There is always a rush for people to prove how highbrow they are by making a show of asking on these threads who the celebrities are. It’s like people who just have to tell others that they don’t own a TV…

And yet they bother to take the time to open a thread about them and reply.. 🙄🤣

Yes, this. They just make themselves look pathetic.

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 20:57

There is a rumour going around now that he had allegedly gotten another woman pregnant

StellaCruella · 14/08/2024 20:47

Not much news in August. Parliament in recess and a lot of people on holiday.

SweetAmber · 14/08/2024 20:46

Silly season

LlynTegid · 14/08/2024 20:44

Silly season was the term that used to be said about August.

HRTQueen · 14/08/2024 20:36

I was wondering this when I was reading the bbc news

im guessing slow news day

ShelfService · 14/08/2024 20:08

Pigeonqueen · 14/08/2024 19:27

Why are people asking who she is? If you’re interested just google, easy to see her then!

My normally sensible 21 year old dd text me a screenshot of the “news” and said how shocked she was 🤣🙈 she loves her and I think a lot of young people saw them as the “fairytale”.

August - slow news month coupled with a dumbing down of news journalism in general which results in some BBC breaking news stories being truly mind bogglingly stupid and vacuous.

Perfectly well put. ☺️

LindorDoubleChoc · 14/08/2024 20:02

Plus celeb (if you can call them that) tittle tattle is not news at all.

I am now genuinely wondering how and when the news of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's divorces made the headlines? They were the biggest superstars in the world at the time (google if you've never heard of them )

LindorDoubleChoc · 14/08/2024 19:58

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 14/08/2024 18:24

No. Some people are interested in celebs. I imagine the BBC hopes to draw some of them in by stories like this in the (futile) hope that they will then decide to pay for a TV licence.

Show quote history

It's not an either or situation.

There is no need for "breaking news", it's a modern construct and some poor sod who works for the BBC is tasked with scraping the barrel for "breaking news" stories. All to keep the public hooked when of course they could survive without this information until tomorrow or never.

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 18:32

You mean the news?

Have you noticed that the news sites tend to always report on the negative things

Eg
Wars
Riots
Stabbings
Killings.

Those things happen in the world. But good things also happen in the world , news sites just don't usually write anything about the good things that are happening.

News sites are designed to report negative things only, in order to produce a worried and stressed emotional response from the population.

Yeah! They’re all over it when a plane crashes - but why do we never hear about all the planes that have perfect landings, hmm?! Who’s reporting on THAT?!

oberst · 14/08/2024 19:49

Apparently there's speculation that he's got another woman pregnant

They were on a reality tv programme a few years ago. I think her boyfriend’s brother is a boxer famous for being part of the travelling community (I’m not sure about that partt but I think that was it).Other than that, they aren’t known which is why it is so bemusing to see their ‘breakup’ on the national news.

Show quote history

Tyson Fury Is famous because of the world titles he's won. He's a bloody good British boxer but unfortunately is held back by poor MH. Him and Tommy are very involved in Charities and have a particular interest in MH. He has a Traveler background, which is a minority that we are allowed to be discriminatory towards.

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 19:35

They're top news on loads of news sites now.

Well they'll be top news for about two hours till the next thing comes along

WeregoingtoIbiza · 14/08/2024 19:34

I saw the statement Molly Mae put out as I follow her on instagram. I'm sure anybody who's interested probably would have done too.

I wouldn't have thought it would be breaking news though.

AdaColeman · 14/08/2024 19:33

Breaking News ! What? Has she broken one of her false nails? Shock! Horror!

ThreeSides · 14/08/2024 19:32

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 19:31

I wonder did he cheat

He definitely cheated. I think her statement is very telling.

ThreeSides · 14/08/2024 19:32

Not all people have heard of this type of individual.

And?

Abigail47 · 14/08/2024 19:31
