I liked that article slow. Truth be told, I would have read that novel* Grin
Although it also sounds a bit like a Ben Elton novel (never ever ever forgiven for the heinous crime of referring to Queen's most famous song as Bo Rap).

I would have read the novel too Grin

I have read all sorts of rubbish by sleb authors - although I am ashamed of paying 50p for a book written by Fern Britten, which was so badly written, the tiny cottage the heroine lived in was able to accommodate 12 overnight guests for Christmas etc etc and despite being overweight, unlikeable and unemployed, was able to snare the only single, gorgeous man in the village.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 12/08/2016 01:37

Did the heroine have a gastric band?! [Ooh put claws way Kimmy!]
Her husband is/was very lovely. Fern left (pay dispute? Phil earned more) and her career faltered somewhat. Strictly didn't revive it that well and she didn't enjoy it cos Artem pushed her too much. I miss Smiley Carol, Carol Smiley.

I don't tend to read many books by slebs though as many are going to be thin/Xmas autobiography or first attempts at fiction or ghost written.
I quite liked Playing with the grown ups Sophie Dahl. Brian Blessed's autobiography narrated in his dulcet tones is, well, BRIAN BLESSED.
Liked Russell Brand's first autobiography, not second, title aside, the first it had an honesty to it that was admirable. Enjoyed David Niven and Joan Collins.
Hated Jo Brand's first autobiography, it was bland, seemed heavily self-edited and stopped clearly so there would be a sequel.
Nor was I impressed with Dawn French's prose but am in the minority there.
Have liked Stuart Maconie's travel books. Any recommendations, do tell.
Mark Watson I want to like > than I do. Xmas cash-ins I hate, Miranda Hart's awful, David Mitchell's autobiography harmless but boring.
I liked Jon Ronson's novella on Frank Sidebottom.

raised I have never seen Going Downtown Abbey but if based on real life shudder to think of the content of fanfic (strap-ons, analingus, the "treat" of mutual bum-sniffing, cock-slapping) and in one Tardis case golden showers. Am I close?! Wink All icloud leaks and injunctions did ever were to make me feel very vanilla in comparison. Although I would actually like the one snap an ex took decades ago simply as evidence there was Life before Waistboobs Grin

raisedbyguineapigs · 12/08/2016 08:46

Actually If forgotton about all the icloud leaks😁No it was a bit more vanilla than that! More romantic fiction must not look up going downtown abbey Im clearly not looking at the right fanfiction pages😂

Whentheshipgoesdown · 12/08/2016 08:59

By co-incidence I stumbled across some yesterday on twitter and I think I have lived a very sheltered life

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 12/08/2016 15:06

Downtown Abbey is what we referenced it as (well sang it, me: Petula, him: Macklemore) in our house due to me mispronouncing it. Please tell me it's not a real thing Grin but if it were, it would be filther than Georgian shore and make the latter look positively Victorian.
In other news Mel C is sabotaging a spice girls reunion (go, Sporty!)
Petey André (agent orange) has bought Tom Cruise's old pad.
And Hugh Grant didn't recognise Renée's post surgery face.

I think some of the Tumblr Superfans/Superfoes are more interesting than the subject of their blogs. A Big Brother special of the loverz vs the haterz could save Emma Willis from career obliteration. Though I suspect they'd demand anonymity as they all actually have super high power jobs to hold down.

The Mel C SBoS is weird. It seemed to say that MC was suing but they were all on good terms? How does that work? "hi Em, Geri & Mel, hope you are all well. don't take this personally, but I'm suing you. Love n' hugs, your friend forever, Mel C xxx"

APlaceOnTheCouch · 12/08/2016 16:48

I loved that article Slow.

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 12/08/2016 16:54

^Boo moo Leonardo, I wanted to respond with bunny hugs! but tech retired the easter bunny ears emoticon. Ah well.
I am sad enough that I quite liked Gem as a trio name. But only if promo shots put them in the right order dammit. Geri, Emma, Mel. So not hard. But like cinema posters mismatching names and photos, marketing do it wrong just to get a rise out of me Wink

Maybe they could take a leaf out of Bucks fizz's book and call themselves:
Gem's Spice Girls Show or even better Scary Ginger Baby Grin

All quiet with Tayto at the moment. I'm v Sad there's no imminent Taylor album. She's probably got two many songs now
Volume 1 - 'I really loved him but he was a meanie to me and I went out with him for a year so There, I can keep a man'
Volume 2 - 'I thought we were friends but he wrote mean songs about me. And his missus is mean'
Volume 3 - 'it's true love now, Despite his grey shoes. And all the press are meanies'.

Whentheshipgoesdown · 12/08/2016 18:54

Quiet day? With the fauxcelesbianism from MilleMac and the Cagster? Wonder how long they have been saving that up for. And Jade LittleMix refusing to apologise for chasing her boyfriend. Next thing she'll be wanting equal pay or the vote or something.

Freshprincess · 12/08/2016 19:10

I love their commitment to making Rebecca Adlington and Mark Foster a thing. Grin

KimmySchmidtsSmile · 12/08/2016 19:43

^ Strictly Mark Foster? But he's still loved up with Colin Jackson? They live together?

OP posts:
FrayedHem · 12/08/2016 20:54

Lol at Rebecca and Mark. I thought he was out in a "I don't need to make an official announcement you utter freakazoids" way.

TayTay and Tim are now following each other on Instagram. So glad they have managed to coordinate their following this time. But when will they be seen together again? Remember the fun days of Rome and Nashville and Suffolk

The SBoS seriously needs to stop with Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Moretz. Enough already.

Courtney Stodden is not seeming to be very well. There are scary pics of her with her Dad from 2013 when she was promoting her songs. (her actual dad, not her husband)

raisedbyguineapigs · 12/08/2016 20:55

Yes I was a bit Confused at that. Isn't he an out gay man?

Donatellalymanmoss · 12/08/2016 21:19

Maybe the DM are trying to force him out of the closet that he's not actually in.

Donatellalymanmoss · 12/08/2016 21:24

TayTay is in Rhode Island apparently, Tom is in LA. No mention from the tumblr stalkers on whether either of them is heading in each other's direction.

Cocolepew · 12/08/2016 21:25

TayTay tweeted the US gymnastics team and they are all delighted, new squad?
Brooklyn Beckham is very plain looking

Whentheshipgoesdown · 12/08/2016 22:01

Agreed with Brooklyn altho am not exactly a stunnah myself. wasn't the SBoS getting excited about him wearing a pride t-shirt and pink socks while simultaneously frigging itself into righteous indignation about Azaelia Banks?

prettyusefulsometimes · 12/08/2016 23:01

On the train heading home after a birthday party.

The orange one's mysterious girl song came on. I thought of you twaddlers.

Night all.

FrayedHem · 14/08/2016 00:01

I'll grab up that nightcap now Cockblocktopus. Where in the world are you? Or are you a hardcore raver?

It's oh so quiet . Everyone has Gone-Appeared . Hopefully the morning will bring sweet news of a reunion and all will be right again.

Looks like Tim lent his big pants to Gary Lineker. Enough space to add the Leicester fc logo. I'm quite sure Tim obeys the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle mantra as well as being an orderly packer. Is he done filming Thor?
