Jodie Turner-Smith Graham Norton

The only stunning one was Cillian and his amazing blue eyes!
Being stunning, and being sexy, are different things people! Whoever that broad was she was coming across like a bucket of plankton. Might look good atop my Christmas tree though!!

If simply being frightfully stunning permits one to behave in any way they wish, then by jove I should be out there running amok😆😁🙃🤣

Nobody is that beautiful that they get free pass to do whatever they want.

I do think she was a bit off at times, but that’s mainly because I remember the previous time she was on and she was absolutely fine then and told funny stories. I think it was just an awkward set up, with the three women who were basically ready for a good old gossip and night out, sat with Cillian Murphy who’s much more introverted on these things and Domhnall Gleeson on the end.

There’s plenty of memes on the internet about Cillian Murphy looking bored with Taylor Swift, when that’s just his facial expression I think.

Apparently an audience member accused her of asking an (in the paper) inappropriate question to Taylor Swift!
Just nipping over to You Tube as I missed this one!

Well, I'll be honest, I didn't know who she was, but I found her a pretty good guest, along with Greta Lee. I did think that the movie they were pimping looked shit, though.

She might have been high or she might have been nervous or just laying it on for the show, but most of what she said landed for me, so I didn't really care. It must be hard to be on the same couch as Taylor Swift and Cillian Murphy and she and Greta Lee did well to hold their own and were amusing and engaging when they had their bit.

I definitely didn't think she was excruciatingly "look at me" in the way the OP describes, though. I thought it was a pretty good group of people who interacted with each other and enhanced each other's appearances. Again, not easy to do with a megastar on, simply because they will have been aware that most of the audience really only wanted to hear Taylor Swift interviewed.

I do find the most beautiful woman in the world comments a bit strange, though. She's definitely beautiful, but I wouldn't rate her above many other women in the same line of work (which is to say many times more beautiful than your average human being).

Hmmm

Swift name-dropped too. In fact I think she started it saying they met at a party. Jodie said it was Madonna’s party then Swift corrected her and said it was Beyoncé’s. That was one of the most interesting moments in The whole chat. I had this image of all these celebs Hanging out and feeling free to be themselves and be ordinary. I would love to be there. Swift said the gossip at the party was fantastic and I longed to know what it was because I love boiling hot celeb tea. But then she said she was so drunk she forgot it.

I'm thinking the same. I'll have to check her out

I wonder why you felt the gesture was necessary. Why didn’t you just scroll on by?

Never heard of her

how the fuck did jk Rowling get brought into this?

I just posted about this before I read your post. So glad that I am not the only one who didn’t see what op saw. Jodie barely said a word or got asked any interesting questions. I too only tuned in because of comments on here and was disappointed.

It wasn't, but they're seems to be a new thing on mumsnet where if racism or bias is pointed out posters will try to denigrate it by pretending they are oh so bored of being accused of racism and act like it's a tired old accusation that is beneath them even engaging with. It's a trick used by men against women pointing out sexism, which some women have now seized on and used it to belittle any discussion about racism.

If you're tired of being accused of racism perhaps there's a reason.

Have they edited the show? I just watched it because of everyone’s comments and I didn’t see this. She seemed a bit on the outside as though she was being left out and was trying to make her presence felt. Some beautiful people don’t have to talk because people are intimidated by their looks so that perhaps explains why she seemed to be doing something she wasn’t used to. She didn’t come across as obnoxious. I thought the comment the singer made about her baby’s first word being “cunt” incredibly rude. She seemed upset about that and took it seriously rather than as a joke. But no she was not as polished as the others. Poor woman.

I watched it live and thought she was quite strange - I don’t know her at all so wasn’t sure if it was just the way she is or whether she was drunk. I felt she was quite nervous and trying too hard? I found her low level
irritating at the time.

p.s Anok is stunning. I’m not sure though why we are commenting on appearances as though being beautiful makes it ok to behave in certain ways! Behaving like a fanny whether black, white, beautiful or not = behaving like a fanny!

I can’t speak as to individual posters here, but I’ve definitely seen a certain type of tryhard white woman do this a lot. It’s not enough for them to say that a black woman is pretty or even beautiful - she has to be stunning, breathtaking, one of the most beautiful women ever. Yes, yes, you can see beyond white-centric beauty norms. Pat yourself on the back.

I’m a Black woman who thinks another Black woman is astonishingly beautiful. But, you run with ‘othering and objectification’ if it makes you feel better. 🤣

Agreed about both Jodie and Taylor.

And even if people thought Joe flicked her hair or looked at the camera, wouldn't nervousness be more likely, given she spoke much less than the others?

Is that poster in good faith who has now spelt out "KKK" across three posts?

I don't know who this actress is, but she is no Anok. So what? Models are generally pretty shit actresses, Lauren Bacall aside. I admire actresses more.

You would have to get me so pissed and so high to get me to sit politely while plastic-faced Taylor spouted inanities for hours, so she gets a pass on that from me.

I watched it and the only thing that stuck out for me, was how different TS looked, I didnt notice her being rude or attention seeking

What on earth? Did we watch the same programme? I'd never heard of her but was in a mood for some serious bitching about someone seriously obnoxious so I just watched the entire show. All 49min of it and I just don't get what you are talking about. She didn't steak the spotlight of anyone. She barely interjected in other people's segments. Certainly not more than the other guests. She did flick her hair a lot and looked at the camera a few times but if i hadnt read your post j wouldn't even have noticed it. What on earth has that poor woman done to you?

Any way What was much more interesting was how likeable taylor swift was. I dont like her music as I find it insipid but I loved what she said about having to make an effort and putting on an amazing show because people made an effort to go and see her. 😊

But they were all doing it. Taylor started it off:

Taylor: We [me and Jodie] met at the Gold party.
Jodie: No, it was at Madonna's party.
Taylor: I think it was at Beyonce's party
Greta: I was at Beyonce's party! You weren't at Beyonce's party, Taylor
Taylor: We have to link up and get a group chat going

So why have you turned three media luvvies chatting away into a criticism of only the black woman?

There's also a particular sort that objectify someone who is beautiful and black, it is the converse to what you're speaking of but the root is the same.

The compliments are just that bit too over the top, there is this sense of othering and objectification. Yes you may have called her beautiful but the way in which you've said it makes me feel like you would have said "she's so exotic!" 15 years ago.

So do I 🤣🤣🤣

I have a black bil who is prettier than her.
