Your ‘oh my god’ celebrity gossip....

What has been your ‘oh my god’ moments in celebrity gossip?

Mine have been:

  • Jay-Z and Solange in the elevator
  • Detective Coleen Rooney making her case
  • Kanye West ‘imma let you finish’ with Taylor Swift

They all genuinely shocked me when reported, and for the love of twitter VardyGate was fantastic.

And before anyone gets in, yes I have got a life, I just enjoy celebrity gossip as a bit of freedom from the day to day. But well done on you for not caring and being better than me Wink

Kevin Spacey sexually assaulting men and his cringey "coming out" as if it has any bearing on the fact he's a sexual predator. I know there have been a few celebs who are predators and their crimes have come out the woodwork but he was always my favourite actor and this shocked me.

Prince Andrew being friends with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein (and having the nerve to deny it)

Rooney/Vardy WAG wars was brilliant

I also remember the days when a celeb coming out was big, headline news - Will Young, Ellen Degeneres, Stephen Gately etc. Now, thankfully, no one bats an eyelid.

The Tampon Story is the Squidgy Gate tapes when loads of Charles and Camilla's private phonecalls during their affair were leaked

Charles told Camilla he wished he was her Tampon so he could be inside her vaj. HmmShockGrin🤮

Hugh Grant and his prostate is another good one

HOWLING 😂😂😂😂

This has got to be one of my favourite MN autocorrects

Chickenwings85 · 04/11/2019 23:43

Amazing thread!!
Most have been mentioned already but I have one to add. When Stephen Gately died - I was genuinly so sad and I still often think about him to this day.

iSayaPrayer · 04/11/2019 23:44

Holy fuck Vanya!! I was right I didn’t want to know.

Also, can you send me daily updates on your celeb gossip, you weren’t kidding when you said you love it Grin

Rather late to the party but please tell me if the hamster was unhurt?

iSayaPrayer · 04/11/2019 23:46

Gunpowder don’t! I’m half expecting a call from his lawyers for making up rumours about his prostate!

As the story seems to be ‘untrue’ percheron, we can assume the hamster/gerbil was not harmed in the making on the rumour.

Bill, Hilary and 'pizzagate'

VanyaHargreeves · 04/11/2019 23:50

I'll try OP but I've actually got a limited run of the same ones 😂

A lot of them were gleaned from various threads here

There used to be quite frequent "Celeb Encounters" type threads

One poster said her husband was Freelance and Industry (tech or something) and would decline a project if he knew Emma Watson was attached as she was that much a nightmare

Someone else said they had worked in a theatre during a Tom Hiddleston run and he was dreadful to everyone

LOL Grin

Chickenwings85 · 04/11/2019 23:52

David hasselhoff and the beef burger 😂😂😂

Best typo! My first thought was that you REALLY know celeb gossip, if you have heard about Hugh's prostate! Grin

Mine was Wesley Snipes going to jail for tax evasion.
Also Brian Harvey, or as I call him "The Gift That Keeps On Giving" - hasn't he recently filmed himself being ejected from a jobcentre because he was swearing at them?!

Leflic · 04/11/2019 23:56

Ben Cohen and Kristina from Strictly. I remember watching them do the Pasa doble before the affair was known about. The camera went into the audience to get a shot of the wife’s reaction and I remeber thinking “ shit, she knows somethings going on” . The dance was was one of the most intimate things I’ve ever seen. It’s on a YouTube but that’s not the live footage from the broadcast.
It’s the first time I’d seen the shit hit the fan, as it happened

TrampStamps · 04/11/2019 23:58

The way that Charlie Sheen treated Denise Richards always upsets me.

PearlsBeforeWine · 04/11/2019 23:59

@GinAndBubbles

Whats brooklyn done?!

Mamaoffruitloops · 05/11/2019 00:04

As a massive Boyzone fan in my teens, I was devastated to find out Ronan has cheated on his wife...and that he is a complete arse!!🙈

Horehound · 05/11/2019 00:05

What's the Tom Jones certs thing?

I thought she got cosy with a guy on I'm a celeb and broke the marriage up? I seem to remember the guys wife not being there when he left the camp!

VanyaHargreeves · 05/11/2019 00:07

I forgot about that @Horehound !

Who was the bloke?

Some suggestion of an ill advised affair and emotional abuse with TJ, very hazy on the detail, but it rang a bell when posted

Your fella from Eastenders Bannerman.Thats the one

Kelly Preston allegedly getting shot in the arm by then fiance Charlie Sheen.

Most recently a very famous Irish sports star named in the New York times as been accused of a second rape attack. Not surprised but disguisted to how money and intimidation will mean he won't get charged also disguisted to see how many fans he still has.

DarkMutterings · 05/11/2019 00:11

Didn't Cerys fall for the guy from Eastenders on the Get me out of here show?
Whenever these high profile affairs happen on screen i just think how awful it must be for the partner. How could you not obsess on the details when it's literally being replayed out in front of you and millions of others (looking at you Pitt & Jolie)

BloggersBlog · 05/11/2019 00:18

DB allegedly and a teacher at his dds school. A mini db too apparently, all hushed up

Sunflower20 · 05/11/2019 00:19

Bieber marrying Hailey Baldwin shortly after breaking up with Selena.

I know..don't judge me haha.

Graphista · 05/11/2019 00:19

I’m rarely shocked these days but George Michaels death hit me hard.
I don’t believe he was HIV+ he was quite open about his ex having been and being tested and also his own health issues. Iirc he’d had trouble with his lungs since he’d been a child (I have a vague idea he may have had a history of asthma?) so not really surprising he had issues as he got older as he was I believe a moderate smoker (which is admittedly a stupid thing to do if you have lung issues! It’s certainly why I’ve never smoked)

2016 was a horrific year for celebrity deaths of course.

The other recent (to me) one I remember was when I finally got to be able to watch Rizzoli and isles and when Barry frost was written out of the series which contradicted what happened in the books. So I went googling and was so sad and shocked to read of what happened to actor lee Thompson young, I then read up on the shows reaction and found the most heartwarming comments and video of how they honoured him and consulted his family on how they’d deal with his no longer being on the show.

Caroline flack “dating” a 17 year old harry styles still disgusts me, far as I’m concerned she’s no better than those teachers that sleep with their students, not only was she much older, he still a child but she was also in a position of power/authority over him - all kinds of wrong!

Stephen gately dying sadly brought out a lot of homophobia! So many insisted his death HAD to be related to his being gay. I remember I was still watching the wright stuff at this time and Matthew like me had suddenly and unexpectedly lost a young male loved one and strongly challenged callers making such comments, cutting several right off! It’s rare, but it does happen. In my case the person also had an undx genetic heart condition which only came to light at autopsy. He was a young fit (marathon runner) healthy guy, non smoker DEFINITELY no drug use, was showering after training for next run he was doing and literally just dropped dead his heart just stopped. People of all ages and backgrounds do die unexpectedly.

JaniceBattersby · 05/11/2019 00:20

It seems silly now but Kyle Marsh revealing she had a child after getting a place in Hears’ay was a real shock at the time. She lied because in those days she probably would have been kicked out if people had found out she was a young single mum.

Also, Jamie Theakston’s sex dungeon pretty much ended his glittering career.

Sunflower20 · 05/11/2019 00:21

Caroline Flack always came across as an absolute sleaze to me.
