Your ‘oh my god’ celebrity gossip....

977 replies

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

Manon, there have certainly been many whispers about the drinking for that person over the years.

Pretty sure everyone knows Finnegan is a wino...

BritishHorrorStory there's a podcast called 'you're wrong about' which debunks popular myths, they did a show on Anna Nicole Smith and it's a good one. They're incredibly reasonable on it, not dicks at all.

Thanks Vanya I knew I'd heard it somewhere, but can't remember where. The husband was also caught shoplifting wine from Tesco wasn;t he?

ManonBlackbeak · 05/11/2019 22:09

Yes Isaya

VanyaHargreeves · 05/11/2019 22:10

I think certain magazines, the trashies, have strongly confirmed it just through trashy photojournalism, their exit from a career were they are visible is also telling

I think the husband will be frank about it at some point in the future....

PumpkinKing · 05/11/2019 22:10

Remember being shocked by Ronan back in the day. I was a huge Boyzone fan and always thought he had a wholesome image with his gorgeous wife and children. But nope, he's a twat.

justasking111 · 05/11/2019 22:10

yes Manon, the collapsed face does seem to give it away. It is a wicked illness.

VanyaHargreeves · 05/11/2019 22:11

Oh My God the Classic Mumsnet Vs Keating story can't believe it hasn't been mentioned Grin

ManonBlackbeak · 05/11/2019 22:14

Yes, I often get the feeling the press are strongly hinting about her whenever she's mentioned or photgraphed. Doesn't help matters that the husband doesn't appeat to have aged, where as all of a sudden age has caught up with her (she always looked younger than she was back in the day).

VanyaHargreeves · 05/11/2019 22:14

When a Mumsnetter was like 14 she was waiting backstage for Boyzone and Ronan Keating was horrible to her and got in her face and jeered at her and so the Mum slapped him Grin

John Hamm trouser snake that was an eye opener.

PumpkinKing · 05/11/2019 22:18

Haha Vanya that's hilarious Grin

The singer whose heart goes on is apparently gay but will never come out.

I only read very recently that her late husband had been her manager since she was a child. Found that extremely odd!

ExecutiveFiat · 05/11/2019 22:19

I thought JF being fond of the booze was common knowledge! She certainly looks to have aged. How the hell has her other half RM not aged at all? Seems rather cruel!

JuniLoolaPalooza · 05/11/2019 22:22

Lindsay Lohan going so badly off the rails was so sad. And then the rumours about how she was making money after that was equally sad. Mean Girls is a favourite in our house and it's sad she's no longer acting.

SpiderCharlotte · 05/11/2019 22:25

I don't understand the Mr Shell or the two smoking barrells clues and it's driving me mad. It's hard to keep up. More clues please!

PearlsBeforeWine · 05/11/2019 22:27

Well a relatively healthy living man will never age like a heavily drinking women... Polar opposites

VanyaHargreeves · 05/11/2019 22:30

Lindsay Lohan bless her was very much of the Macauley Culkin problem school

In that they were the talented children of grabby, exploitative "parents" who wanted the money and the fame at the expense of their child's welfare and didn't give a shit

Unfortunately it's really hard to name adult actors who came out of the child acting process unscathed.

Even with the Harry Potter actors I think they've probably struggled with a sense of alienation from their peers due to enormous fame and wealth.

highheelsandweathercocks · 05/11/2019 22:30

God I love this thread. I thought celebrity gossip was beneath me. Apparently not.

36degrees · 05/11/2019 22:31

HMArsey I can't find the original link where I read it first but this one alludes to a serious incident that is on record.

VanyaHargreeves · 05/11/2019 22:33

@SpiderCharlotte

I could be wrong but I inferred that the most famous white british model and a pirate with scissors for hands engaged in sex play with guns.

I find watching Mean Girls quite sad these days. She's so baby-faced and cute. Life has been hard on Lilo.

These are a bit old school, but Julia Roberts running away with Kiefer Sutherlands best friend Jason Patric two days before she was supposed to marry Kiefer

Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey killing two people by driving on the wrong side of the road while on holiday in Northern Ireland
