I think we must be the same person as I completely agree.

Omg! And everyone loves her, i just dont get it

I wonder whether, if she fell from grace, there'd be stories come out about her 🤔

I am at a loss as to how Rihanna being in touch with her old friends is necessarily a bad thing.
Some projection going on, I think!

Damon Albarn. I love Blur and Gorillaz but he seems like a bit of an arse.

I was obsessed with Damon Albarn in the 90s. Then I saw a film of him directing an orchestra of middle aged men (DA was aged about 30 at the time) and he was telling them off like they were a bunch of hopeless schoolkids. So I then thought he was an arse.

However I've read about his recent gorillaz festival and his collaborators were said he was a good egg. So perhaps I was harsh in my judgement..

the80sweregreat · 07/08/2026 17:37

I can imagine that Damon Albarn is one of those high maintenance creative people who doesn’t gel that well with more normal people. I read Alex James’s autobiography and he said he didn’t like him much at first ! All the Blur boys are a bit odd I think. Maybe that’s why they seemed to work well together.

I know that her being in touch with old friends makes her seem grounded to some.

For me, it makes her seem like a school bully! Surely you'd outgrow such people if you became a major celeb. Unless the people were 'at the top' of the social hierarchy back then. The 'cool' group from my childhood school are still in touch, for them, the benefits of being school bullies never stopped.

I am massively projecting, i completely accept. Just dont like them.

Really like other women in that industry, just cant shake that feeling, and when i watched asap rocky, i just felt clear in what it evokes in me

I think we must be the same person as I completely agree.

I thought Nicole Sherzinger might be a bit of an intolerable gopher but I can honestly say she is an absolute sweetheart (but this was in the days of PussyCat dolls though and she had just broken up with Lewis I-love-me Hamilton)

God all of them. I’m intensely boring and a total nobody so they would all be desperate to go and talk to someone else. Misery.

I’m quite frightened of Olivia Colman so will put her head of the list. I’m sure she’s great to her friends.

She's absolutely lovely, and just likebyou see her on tv. Not scary at all, and quite funny.

David Beckham springs to mind. I don't like how they've brought up their kids in public eye, their constant self promotion, and over sharing. Also they seem to chase other celebrities for friendship and being seen in the right places. It's all so shallow.

Victoria Beckam didn’t even bother to attend Mel C’s ( her ‘friend ‘) wedding because she was at the World Cup. Bet if she had been invited to a royal wedding she would have turned up .

She's one of the most unfunny people in existence.
Watched once Audience whooping etc
Bloody painful.

Luckily I think most Americans have cottoned on to what a bully she is. Thankfully she appears to be lying low

A friend works on the comedy circuit, booking the acts.
Peter Kay is the worst of the lot to deal with.
The best? Johnny Vegas 🥰

Oooo really, why is he the worst? I’m shocked

BellaNope · 07/08/2026 10:27

Oh god! Beyoncé looks absolutely horrible and her husband positively sinister. P.Diddy I’d run a mile, looks evil. Seriously dubious about these types.

loveagift · 07/08/2026 10:24

Most celebs would be annoying wouldn’t they? self obsessed, narcissistic, insecure, vain, etc

Im.not sure I understand a word of this. Mumbling behind your back? Can you clarify. It sounds interesting, but none of it makes sense without further explanation.

Apologies none of it true, I just read this back. Im an alcoholic and although I can stay in top of it 95% of the time , a few times a year I get the odd wobble and last night was one of them.

Meryl Streep - at the Oscars - I want to thank ,,, and ,,,, and ,,, and God - Hervey Weinstein and the ugly giggle she gave after she said that..... Vile

Tom Hanks.
Great actor but his reaction to Ricky Gervais monologue at the Golden Globes put me off him.

Can't agree more!

Bradley Cooper. He looks like the type to have sex then throw you out into the corridor afterwards

Evil eyes?

I’m very wary of believing celebs’ public personas, but you never hear a bad word about Helena - do you? I think that, despite being phenomenally pretty, she seems a grounded and genuine person.

Yes, I know she had an affair with Ken which led to the breakup of his marriage to Emma Thompson, but apparently the 2 women are good friends now.

Aye, best of friends.

HollyhocksandPeons · 06/08/2026 21:13

Olivia Colman. Fake af.

SpottyAlpaca · 06/08/2026 21:10

John Terry
Novak Djokovic
Bryson DeChambeau
Phil Mickelson

I’m a big sports fan, so I understand that elite athletes who are driven to win are not always modest, humble, self-effacing, likeable etc. But these individuals come across as being particularly obnoxious even by the standards of their profession. And it’s telling that very few people who have worked with them have a good word to say about them.

James Corden. Talented writer and actor but a real knob.

He was pranked once (on Ant and Dec I think). Guy at the gate wouldn't let him in to the studio, pretended he didn't recognise him. JC kept saying 'I could have your job for this.'

Arrogant twat.

Lee Mack. He's really quick and is usually quite funny, but there's something slightly cruel and cold in his responses, especially on the 1% Club. Can't think we'd get on.

Yes I find him hilarious and quite attractive but I suspect he doesn't suffer fools gladly and would sell his own granny if it got him a laugh.
