I met Robbie Williams a lifetime ago when he was just starting to get famous. Total knob then and seems to be worse now so would not want to be his friend. Very much doubt he would want to mine so that's OK 😁

I can’t get over seeing a video of him with his wife in labour and he was just serenading the nurses. 🤢 made me cringe. Poor wife

Ellen degeneros what ever she’s called. Literally can’t stand her

Without doubt, a nasty piece of work that one and wouldn't trust her for treacle

You mean the King?

I’m not sure he’s “talented”.

Tainted, yes. Talented - definitely not. And I refuse to acknowledge his promotion. I actually had a run in with Charlie a few years ago when I caught him mumbling behind my back. And he has someone who wipes his bum but I won't get into that

Tilda Swinton
Ruth Wilson
Samantha Morton

@deliciousdevilwoman Samantha Morton is ridiculously down to earth. I met her once...but I didnt know it was her.

We chatted whilst waiting to pick up our kids from drama class in Nottingham. I mean this in the nicest way...she was dressed normal, very casual...we just had mum chat.

After I left I remember thinking she's a nice person, I like her.. as I usually kept myself to myself as some of the parents were abit posh and not my cup of tea 😀

Was only a few months later I think I saw her in the press or tv and the penny dropped.

Even now with all the Odessey promo interviews etc. I still think of her as that Mum who I liked.

Any of the champagne socialist lot. Emma Thompson, Linekamer, Tennant.

Mostly though Lily Allen and side kick Miquita.

Lily Allen and Miquita come over as sneery and sulky on their videos…God only knows what the’d be like in real life to a mere mortal (ie a non celebrity).

They are both nepo-babies for sure.

The Beckhams

Knew it wouldn't be long before someone said the Beckham's.
I used to know Victoria a bit (through the kids) and she was lovely. Very humble and very hands on.

Yes, same here. She could easily have ended up in prison or dead.

Keith Allen seems scary.
Lily is probably a chip off the old block!

My DH’s ex worked as a dresser at the National Theatre in the early 90s. Keith was doing a play there and allegedly tried to bribe her to say his Willy was massive.
it wasn’t. again, allegedly

Oh no. Being fair, she does seem quite reform supporter herself. Can't stand her, looking forward to nigella!

Show quote history

Off topic, but is Nigella going to do Bake Off?!

Also, Id like to add Tyra Banks and the Js etc on America's Next Top Model, because I'm watching the Netflix programme on it now and them trying to deflect and excuse the show is sickening

Why?!

My impression was of someone

  1. has no sense of humor
  2. thinks being an A list actor makes him a far superior being to the ordinary Joe public.

I liked him up to then and he made great movies but I don't think he is someone I would like if I met him.

Show quote history

In his early films, like the Burbs, ge comes across as kind of cheeky and like he'd be fun......maybe he just got more serious as he got more well kmown and successful. He's kind of Hollywood royalty now isnt he.

I don't get "bitch" vibes from Rihanna in the slightest.

My two are Tom Hanks and Ricky Gervais. His jokes about sick children actually made me turn his stand-up off a few years ago. I caught some of the office a few months ago as well and it hasn't aged well in the slightest. I think he has a real nasty streak about him. Hanks creeps me out. Not keen on Emily Blunt either.

This sounds so miserable! I do have celebs I love who are extraordinarily talented!

I dont think Ricky Gervais is all that funny tbh. And I dont mean that in a ' oh im so disgusted' way. I literally dont find him very funny.

Friend of a friend's daughter went out with home for a while and said he was amazing; really lovely, polite, considerate etc. The mother adored him and was devastated when they split.

Show quote history

Suki Waterhouse? I have a pic of them in LPM restaurant in London from about 15 years ago (they were with Noel Gallagher and Sara McDonald, randomly). He seemed nice but he wore a baseball cap to dinner and at the time anyway it wasn’t the sort of place where one wore a baseball cap.
