Slippery slope or moistened chute: how low can Tayto go?!

[KimmySchmidtsSmile]

Thread 3. You guys are awesome!

I don't know if it was all a set up, I'm inclined to think not, despite being a fairly confirmed cynic sometimes I just need to believe people can change the world, but also why would Apple take the risk in looking bad at being called out for not paying people? I could be wrong, but that's my take on it.

There are many stories about artists being well and truly shafted in the music business. I'm pretty sure the members of 1D take a very, very small percentage of the bands earnings over the years. The worst story at the moment is Kesha, her music label will only let her release music if she works with the man who raped her. That's beyond financially snide, it's just abusive.

Because it humanised them, they made a greedy "mistake" but listened and learned. But I am probably wrong; I have 4 sons it is my destiny to be terminally wrong.

The Kesha stuff is horrendous and I was genuinely cheered to read TayTay made a donation to K's legal fees fund and Adele publicly backing her too.

Oh are we neighbours Donatella?
I think Im in love with Tim after that Buzzfeed article . He seems a good spud.
T Hiddy

fun dun duunnnn

sigh dun not fun.

So TayTay did a surprise hospital visit (DM Aus SBoS). That is sweet.

I'm not sure you are cynical enough for the squad frayed!!

I've said this on Mn before, but:
My bro is a hospital doc in a US hospital which has had quite a few starry visitors doing starry visits.
He said the nicest by far has been... Justin Bieber. Yup.

I don't recall a verdict on Tay, so will contact him to demand judgement.

Not even with my Apple conspiracy theory?!? But hey the coolest people are shunned from squads so I'm OK

I do have a soft spot for slebs who do hospital visits because a friend had a DD who was in GOSH for a while and she said the visits did boost spirits on the ward.

I see it more as the least they can do... It's funny how a lot of them visit just after some bad publicity too.

I do like it when they go in character though - Johnny depp and Robert Downey Jr. Were good!

donatella and frayed bloody school hols in WA. so not literally awful, just no time to ignore the little sods as tiniest Jam is teething

coco DS (3) says Dun Dun DuuuuunT every time there is minor tension or excitement in the house. The T cracks me up every time.

😀

Imagine The Beiber being the nicest.

He was err, nice in that dream I had about him

Of sorts Coco I'm in belfast.

jam teething is awful, maybe you need a holiday on the Goldcoast to get away from it all 😉

Oh zebra that's interesting because of JB's recent fall out with fans and TayTay's love affair with hers. Although from what I've seen of her visits I'd be surprised if there are bad reports. She wrote a song called Ronan which was based on a blog written by a mother who's four year old son died of cancer. She gave the mother a writing credit and all proceeds went to a children's cancer charity. The mother came to her tour and she sang the song that night. I read the mum's account of it on her blog and it was very very emotional.

She's also been known to pop round to the houses of teen fans with cancer. I find it hard to be cynical about her charity work, despite happily raising an eyebrow to her love life.

I'm sure she is very nice and all

I just think people who are in a privileged position because they build a big fan base owe it to them to pay it back in some way. Celebs who are shitty with their fans are the lowest of the low IMO!

My MIL's friend is heavily involved in a charity and waxes lyrical about Jessie J as she really puts the hours in apparently.

I'm sure Tay is very nice. She's also very canny.

Yep, JB was meant to be a bit of a sweetie. And stayed hours and hours longer than he was meant to, and hung around as he said he'd be there when a kid came round from surgery and it took longer than expected. And sat on the floor and played , got mucky, sung etc. Lots of the staff were a bit surprised ad how much of a tit he wasn't. It was a couple of years ago though - pre his derailing.

On the not good list were that one who is Captain America, and erm a female singer. But I've forgotten who (not Tay).

Perming on JB, Coco ?

PERVING

J-J-J Jessie Jay was quite sick as a kid, so she probably can empathise v well, unfortunately.

I know, I'm ashamed.
I'm old enough to be his mum.
I can't control dreams though. If I could I wouldnt have spent all last night arguing with two blokes over the price of a new tyre .
Id dream about Baldy Cooper 💞

I don't know what the Jessie J charity is but would guess at youth development of some kind (based on MIL friend who is equal in the lovely stakes to MIL).

Phew, just caught up with this thread, you have been busy (unlike TayTo who are frankly slacking in the photo op department).

I simply HAD to come on here to answer this very important question by Kimmy

is Norman very sexy in the Walking dead? HELL YES!

I'm a massive Walking Dead fan. Norman is VERY sexy in it, but not as sexy as Andrew Lincoln who has blossomed into quite the hunk. CarlGrimes you totally should have sat next to Sheriff Rick when you had the chance!

Back to Tay To. That article about it all being a fake showmance which Tim is now regretting is very believable. He now has the perfect get out - he's in Oz, so he can't attend any Sleb parties on TayTay's arm. He's busy working and needs to get in character. She could make the excuse that she had to be back in the US for something and it could all fade away like a bad dream.

I can believe that he may have been naiive enough to sign up to it to raise his profile in the US, which it certainly has done, but I bet he's horrified at how it has all played out and destroyed his dignity.

Just walk away now little Tim, walk away....

Oh and I'm doing ok thanks for asking Kimmy - I'm back in work now, so I'm almost fully recovered... but work is interfering with my important Sleb gossiping, tut tut.

I loved the Buzz feed article trying to compare TayTay frolicking on a beach, wearing a bikini, with her bundled up in cardie and anorak on Tim's beach. Yep, just the same not at all the same

My kids are a flipping nightmare on a manic wave of destruction

Nah. Sod that. Need 5 minutes.
Glad you are almost recovered ungoogleable don't work too hard. Squad needs you!
I'm going to have to watch Walking Dead aren't I? I do like Zombies. Fell for Woody H in Zombieland. Andrew Lincoln I'm always a bit Katy Perry about (hot n cold ): Egg was my least favourite character in this life, then the slacker teacher persona annoyed me greatly in teachers (don't get me wrong, I wasn't the best teacher in the world but I did care about the kids. He was just a tit) then he plays the mega twunty stalky ruins-the-wedding-video 'best' man in love actually. So I have never really liked or fancied the characters he played although he did a decent job of them. The medium thing with Lesley Sharp was good.
I do say "Enough. Enough now" in an Andrew Lincoln Love actually stylee when I am giving a situation earnest gravitas (putting the ass into gravitas more like).
But I do not have the time to get sucked into multiple seasons (like I did with Californication, The affair, Community, Master of none, Love) I have poor impulse control, ocd completism, zero willpower and Mr Robot's back soon!
Physically I can't see Norman > Joshua but I do like a charismatic bad boy. Carl/ungoogleable is he a bit sullen like Sawyer was season one of Lost (only one I saw, I can curb the completist tendency when I feel conned by a lack of denouement that channel 4 spent all finale week promising). Are the WD seasons stand alone or painfully addictive?
Donatella we did have a tomato timer yes until DS killed it by throwing it around. Bloody hope DH didn't spend €€€ on it though. Just went on official site and eye watering 60€ timers on there. Please tell me he didn't! He didn't. He couldn't have surely. I only remember it being a tomato! Am hoping he got a cheap kitchen one from Amazon or his ass is mine.
I think it's quite sweet how so many slebs do do the hospitals. The 250k to Ke$ha was bloody good. All very well of Demi Levato (just had to retype that, it autocorrected to Demi Potato )to say Ah but...she didn't shout out about the issues like me me me BUT I daresay when Dr Luke is withholding $ and royalties, Ke$ha needed money rather than mouth to be honest.

Have they had drinks yet? 50p T Hiddy 50p!

coco I will only ever see him as Baldy Cooper now. I do wonder how much the beards get. As Jo Brand once quipped re Robert Redford, way back when indecent proposal was out, "I'd have shagged him for a tenner". Now admittedly we are talking a pretend relationship no sexual gratification here but unless the guy is deathly dull, it's easy work no? Hardly on the same level as being married to Tom Cruise, is it? Wonder what the fee is for a platonic high class no extras discreet Escort service. Bet that's cheaper in the long run.

needed. And I bought an iced sprinkled donut for which I blame the subliminal Derren Brown cum Homer Simpson malarkey on this thread!
Not really. I ate a whole pack of peanut m+ms when catching up yesterday. I am weak-willed.

I wonder whether Katy Perry gives a monkeys about Russell Brand being a Dad-to-be. She's seeing Orlando Bloom so probably not although I only ever hear his name as " Orlando and..Bloom" in a Miranda (Hart not Kerr) voice in my head. Did he really try to punch Justin over his ex, I wonder? Orlando>Justin>Selena Belieber>Taytay>John>Katy >Orlando. All very six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
